  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

    And therein was the problem. Old style concrete Pipe Pieces. Dirt and soil gets between each piece and the whole thing is blocked by sediment. Our perimeter drain had the same problem.

    Using the Hole Circle program from Jon Elson as a model along with the MakeBore program I modified it to be a hole circle program. Depending on parameters it can do a regular G81 to drill a hole or a G82 to Dwell for a while at the bottom of the hole or a G83 to peck drill. I've enabled hints...

    All the cement pipe pieces had clogged up. To repair the field and bring it up to code (which we were allowed to do) would cost more than the relationship to water used sewer charge over the next 30 years. In other words it was cheaper to get rid of the tank and field than repair it now that...

    No Idea. When the septic tank was removed this was the point where the connection was made to the house. This is a clean out T. Further down by the road there's another one right above the sewer line. It also had a cover like that which was stolen within a week. Now there's a large rock...

    I'm feeling a bit bugged out now. All that work to make the fence etc to keep the rabbits out and maybe the deer and what happens. Insects. The beans have been devastated and I only planted them outside yesterday.

    It doesn't do well in the heat of sunlight and I may find that I will have to reprint this in some other material. What is needed is a much denser infill. For example, try #1 with the keys was printed with 15% infill and the mistake in the design was the retention hooks weren't far down...

    The other day when I was mowing with the garden tractor and the new non-mulching blades the suction was enough to pull up and chop up the plastic sewer access cover. Time for some CAD and 3D printing. Painted because PLA won't handle long term sunlight. And this one has tabs so that it can...

    Note that one based on the part number also doesn't have an index (Z).

    Most of the sites that have specs say 5000 RPM but continuous to 3000 RPM.

    That one is missing the Z which is why they are cheaper. Fine for a custom MPG made from an Arduino for example. This is also comparably priced and has the index (Z). https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005006064262467.html choose the E6B2-CWZ6C Also available are the KOYO encoders. Here's...
