Welcome to Mr. J’s Channel. This site is all about the projects happening in the workshop. You will see a lot of laser engraving, but it’s not uncommon to find woodwork, metal fabrication and aviation-related projects like building an experimental aircraft in the workshop. You can expect encouragement and sometimes, entertainment. The goal is to encourage you to create and venture out to grow your own business or hobby.
Love the info about Osh Kosh and the info on the customized bugs there! I don’t remember hearing about those before. Looks like they have a lot going on there. I knew about the camping under airplane wings but wow, it looks like an airplane trailer park! Have a great time and be safe!
@@karoleenascottage thanks Johni, This year the signs have been very popular for different designs for kids bedrooms personal gifts, housewarming gifts and special occasions. I am thinking about making a sign here for the shop using a lot of your crafty tips that you have on your RU-vid channel. I will be cheating and using my laser. I really love your hand craft items. Thank you for your kind words. Can’t wait to see your next crafty RU-vid episode,
Glad I watched the infamous blob episode! Not funny to have this happen, but I did chuckle thinking of your face when you walked in your workshop and saw the blob being formed. Very good demo and explanation of how you cleaned the nozzle and got it working again. I think your videos are great and are probably a great resource for the 3-D printer community.
Hi Jaime, love your videos! Could you do a video demonstrating a “how to” for making a dip stick knob on the Bambu? I think there might an interest in that kind of video if you have the time. 👍
I’m missing something here. For the letters you are engraving away all the acrylic but leaving the protective coating? The laser doesn’t affect the clear layer? Or is this material have 2 layers - one clear and one opaque?
Looks´like you´re 90% done and have 90% to go 👍. Don't compare yourself to him, the 750s all already have the "match drilled holes" kit, which makes it a lot faster. My wife and I also work on an "old" 701 kit and often wait for orders. But you are already much further along than we are.
How do you backlight gray? I thought you had to use something like translucent white, then a coat of paint, then engrave. Im really curious about this as Im new but wanting to have a better understanding before some trial runs
Is this supposed to work with IR laser over metal surface? I tried it and it did not cut through the tape. it just dyed my surface blue with the project instead of actually engraving.
We had such a fun time. We can't wait to fly in to the next one. Thank you, Bill and Dr. Mark for hosting. Bridget had a blast. Build was so fast She left a loose rivet inside!
I haven't had a blob that bad on any of my Bambu printers, but the few times I had any nozzle issues was always PETG and using bad settings for my print or in one case some sketchy wet filament I didn't want to take the time to dry. That said beyond heating it up to melt it off the best method of keeping the nozzle clean I've found is the printable mod which lets you use the A1 nozzle cleaner instead of the little wiper or in combination with the wiper. Ever since I did that I haven't had any trouble with the nozzle not being perfectly clean. Now my elegoo printers had this problem all the damn time, as such I found using my solder station with helping hands to hold the iron and nozzle together so I could use both my hands to use pliers and needles to properly clean was the best method.
Thank you for commenting. This is very helpful to know. I am keeping a close eye on it now to see if there's something I didn't see so far it's working perfectly.
Thanks for your comment. I’m happy to hear that you haven’t had this problem. I’ve seen others have the same problem and I thought this would be helpful. There’s many reasons why this could’ve happened. I just hope this is helpful for others that it has happened to.
i've seen a video about this foodcoloring lines problem. there are different kind of paints and different kind of masking tapes. If I remember it correctly there is a dry paint that works very wel with masking tape to colour in without the lines. Now finding that dry paint that is also foodsafe is going to be the quest of the day.
Once you have selected the object, it will remove it from the program that is Presley running. So you could continue with the other projects that are still remaining on the plate.
I do not think this is ideal for aircraft panels. You are adding significant thickness to the panel which usually causes trouble for switches etc. for fitment
Very very cool printer yet it is really to small and you may want to look into other larger printers like the QIDI Max 3. I'm in my second year of 3d printing and am loving it! fyi just play around with the printer more and you will find you don't need the glue. I have never used glue to this day and printing is fine you just need to adjust the printer head just right. Also be sure to keep the plate as clean as you can. I always wash the plate off before printing.
@@MRJSWORKSHOP OK thank you! I'm already looking forward to your next 701 video. My wife Catrin and I are currently building a 701. Yes, things are progressing slowly for us too, but we also took a break for almost 3 months because it was just too hot here in southern Italy. We've been building again for two weeks now. I wish you a nice day too
@@jorgmichalowski7954 that is so encouraging! today i work little on the 701 video and little bit on the 701. Also today I got the material for the instrument panel for project 701. I will try to do one thing everyday. Have a great day.
So my laser will not cut metal but I have tried laser cutting the material with other vendors, what are the biggest problem my material has is the coating that melt on the edges went the laser cuts the material. Also try CNC milling but it’s a project on making fixture to hold the material for cutting so basically just stay using the manual tools.
Wow ... I'm glad I stumbled across this video ... I've been searching for ideas on how to re-label the switches and breakers on my vintage Mooney. Is that something you've done before?
I have done a couple of Mooney panels, they were full make overs on the panel. I engrave stencil so I could airbrushed all the lettering. For more ideas on re- label you can check out my website texasprecisionengraving.com and look at the gallery at overlay switches and breakers I have done on other aircraft’s.
Thank you for your comment. Yes that is one of the options I really like the epoxy floors but there is a lot of prep work expense and time. Also would like something that is easier to stand on.
Gotcha! I'm trying to figure out the same thing for my basement. I'll probably paint, then use some commercial rubber mats where needed. Good luck! Nice seeing a familiar face from the past. Hope you're doing well.
