13 AUG 2021 - 3D Printing - Voxelab Aquila X2

Today, the Voxelab Aquila X2 arrived.  Tomorrow, I will assemble it, test it and begin my venture into budget FDM printing.  I have a 2 kg spool of Voxelab black PLA to use for printing.  I ordered a 2 kg spool of white PLA.  If I get the Aquila sorted out this weekend, I will attempt to print a couple of spiral chess pieces to see how they turn out.

5 August 2021 - 3D printing

Recently completed printing a chess set.  I obtained the STL archive from Thingiverse.

3D Printing

Recently purchased a used 3D Resin Printer.  The printer actually prints very detailed objects considering its looow cost.  Initially I printed a couple of test prints to see what the printer can do.  After doing that I have printed a variety of things that are just cool to print.

22 July 2020 - 33 gallon craftsman compressor

Re-installed the starting cap and run cap for the motor and then lightly epoxied the housing those components are attached to, to the motor.  So that works and that cover does not come loose and the unit works like it should.  Still need to upload a pic of the start cap so that I have a record of the manufacturer and the part number.

A few weeks ago my craftsman 33 gallon air compressor exhibited starting issues.  Troubleshooting shows the start cap is bad and leaking as well.

Ordered replacement starter cap and motor run cap today, should arrive mid July.
