Onoff Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Got one of those little drill presses years ago, the type you'd lock your B&D mains drill in to drill reasonably plumb holes. Nothing I've got now fits it. Gave it, one of my Makitas and a Vernier to No.1 son and left him to get on with it. Came up with this: This slips onto the drill that slides over the blue casting. Appears to fit nicely. Where the drill fits in is actually tapered and he's got that pretty much bang on. Got to find the original plastic, ,"top hat" liners that go inside the blue casting. If not will print a pair! As it was a test, only 5% infill but surprisingly strong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to be finding a job really. With a good computer science degree it shouldn't be that hard! Oh well, I'll have to let him loose on the magazine fed, stacking toilet roll holder dispenser with digital roll counter project I've been mulling for a few years! ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a good computer science degree it shouldn't be that hard How about getting him to sort out some web based calculators. The kind of things that we use. So.

I have suggested they put up permanent links to them on buildhub, but it seemed to hard for them to bother. Got told to do it myself. But they are not for me.
