I know this is an old video, but I just found this channel and I must say that I find everything from the choice of topic to your method of problem solving very interesting. And a huge bonus for me, as someone who's sensitive to all sorts of stimuli, is how comfortable your voice is to listen to 😊
I bought one of the original little green ones absolutely eons ago when I started renovating my 1st house, believe it or not it was actually a good little saw that I still use today as it's bang on square after some serious abuse so it still sees some action for basic framing etc. Based on my experience with my little green saw I thought I'd buy one of the large orange models when I was re-building my cut roof as I needed to cut loads of 9x2s at angles etc, which were too big a cut for my little green saw. Wow what a piece of crap that orange saw was! It couldn't stay anywhere near square or calibrated to save it's life, completely put me off buying the Evo in future.
You need to make the under side of the level absolutely flat, because that is what it is calibrated against. It is nice if it looks good, but that part has to BE good. And make sure the vials are reading level.
Put a drop of vinegar on those screw heads, and then put a little wad of toilet paper them, also soaked in vinegar. Put some cling wrap around them and let them sit overnight. They should come right out.
I wasnt very happy to see you using your digital caloipers as a spanner wrench not very profesonal in my opinion you could have used a pair of channel locks instead so now you cannot use your calipers for any thing except a spanner
I wasted half a spool, thinking my tolerances weren't sufficient. Turns out the mini rhombusd when it should have squared. The official documentation is still clueless about this possibility. Thank you for the video, but that didn't solve my problem, which is that the X axis is not perpendicular to the Y. The plate is fine. The arm of the X axis is at the end tilted forward a couple of degrees.
Maybe you can ask for the part to be reprinted and sent to you. Either that or re assemble the section to see if any debits had made it offset. It's possible to get the mini printing well but it's a process of trial and error.
@@SavvasPapasavva For now I've resolved it so that I wedged almost 2mm thick piece of plastic between the aluminium extrusion and the printed plastic part that holds the Z rods. I could only eyeball it but even so, a 170mm square now has less than 0,5mm difference on the diagonals, before that it had about 2,5mm. It's not easy to keep everything perpendicular when you're adjusting it... But damn. I'm still a bit in shock this happens on a Prusa printer. I've been printing for a couple of years with the mini, haven't noticed this before. But it is the first time I've printed large part where squareness is critical..
I believe this method makes the greatest quality of coffee in the world!😊 I guess the centrifugal force they create an excellent blend... Δώστου νά καταλάβει Σάβα 😂
I am a bit confused about the last improvement, "front facing mirror and a two way see throuh mirror" what is a front facing mirror? * 2 way see through mirror? Looked for the files on the web site, could not find them. Thanks and great work
I rushed those bit at the end as I was conscious of how long the video was. I mentioned those materials also at 03:10 in the video. But the principle is that the front facing mirror which is fitted to the rear wall of the camera lucida reflects from the outer most surface and not the rear wall. And the partially reflective piece that is position diagonally inside, remove or lessens the double image created by reflection which I think is happening on the diagonal piece. I should have compared the views looking into the lucida to make this more clear but you can jump to time code 15:50 which there is a slight double exposure especially at the top of the candle, and 16:50 where the image is a lot clearer. Regarding the files - I will upload those tomorrow as I've run out of time today. I'll add a link in the comments section once that is done. Thanks again for the comment!
@@fbujold That's weird, I've updated the product listing to make it fully virtual. The download links should be in the product listing. Let me know if you still have any problems. Cheers.
Was that John Fahey at the end there? I think he'd approve of a tin of baked beans with an identity crisis. Well, not a crisis really. More in the the area of a hobby. Insect cosplay.
I did something similar but I didn’t have any magnets too hand. I placed a piece of 1mm acrylic sheet over the face held by 2 5mm bolts and 2 washers made spacers. Using a flush cut saw I’m getting great results.
@@SavvasPapasavva so the sound with all the rubbing and tapping on the table and stuff isn't even intended XD, congratulations, you unknowingly made an asmr video. Though it might just be the spots I jumped to. I do have my sensory issues, so no problems on your end ^^ Just some of those sounds feel like fork in a plate/nails on chalkboard to me sometimes Edit: just had another quick look around, tapping on the table, crumpling the bag of beads, rolling the whisk around, wiping the table are all ASMR stuff. Also looking at the randomness of your videos, am I mistaken in thinking you might have ADHD?
@@satibelIt hard to not have explicit sounds when a directional microphone is used. Best keep the volume low to compensate. I wanted this video to be just about the action of making the toy / object, which includes thinking time, opening bags, wiping down a worksurface. It's a sensory toy for a baby btw. Also I've been making videos before ASMR gimmick was a thing - and I'd often just have the sound of the making process, and background noise of the location (often emergency vehicles and aeroplanes passing by) without narration or music to change the experience. When I first began narrating I think a lot of the audience were surprised I wasn't from the states. It's amazing how people project onto the things they watch. Also back then, it was refreshing because simply making wasn't changed by the narrators performance or distracting music, from the reality of what it is like to be being alone with material and tools and to make something. Also no ADHD here - the channel is about making in it's broadest possible sense thus the original name for the channel being miscellaneous productions. In retrospect, had I just stuck make daD-I-Y videos, I'd probably have become a millionaire by now with a sponsorship deal from one of the tool giants.
Hi guy. I did this with a ten watt laser voa accident. I was meaning to inscribe the glass and went at high power at a fast speed and got a clean cut. I remembered half a year later and looked it up on youtube. o7
Haha I did something similar. Etching the side glass panel of a desktop computer case and same thing too much power. Ended up cutting half way threw and whole design that was etched fell out 😂
Hi , I have just acquired the very same machine. Just seen your very informative video. I am in the process of refurbing it. The in feed table needs adjusting, which thanks to you, I now know how to. There is no locking handle to the fence. Any chance of a picture of it I think it will have to be made. Thanks again.
