@jbv

can I take a moment to complain about people taking cellphone pictures of their computer screen, instead of just emailing the actual file?
What’s with people taking cellphone pictures of their computer screen, instead of just emailing the actual file?
ok, sorry for the derail/mini-rant, it does not apply here, thanks.

Seriously dude, thumbs up! What the hell is wrong with people?!

@Xabbess

Must be your version of the ‘Kittski pointer’ Ha ha!

HAHAHHAHAH! I posted my thumbs up reply before seeing your comment.

Glad you saw the post…I was really laughing. Then I see your ‘thumbs up’ and was squinting to see what the heck that is on the tip of your thumb…looks like a teeny tiny building. It’s the top of jbv’s avatar.

Almost had that last night. I was referred by someone I know to help a guy trying to build a prototype of a new walking assistance stick for the blind. He’s already got the CAD files so I should just be able to tweak them a bit and run them through a slicer and off to the 3D printer.

Yeah, except the “CAD” files were just 3D renders. I had to explain that what he had were pictures not the kind of files it takes to make something.

“But they’re from the computer.”

They’re still just pictures man.

Digit all-pointer, wrapped in this fine leather glove:

mine are rubber not leather (same cabinet but modded the heck out of it)

I should have been more clear, I was talking about this leather glove, that I’m holding with the rubber glove

Ah

Pretty clean cabinet. You using glass beads?

[jbv]

Regular black aluminum oxide. There’s a nice layer of it everywhere, but the cabinet has not seen massive amounts of use by any means.

[jamesdhatch]

huh. Saw some black residue but not as much as I’d expect with that. I’ve been using glass and I’ve got a bag of the black coal stuff that Tractor Supply sells but haven’t used it yet.

I got it to clean off the dross and mill scale from my metal stuff to get it ready for paint or powdercoat. I put a metering valve on it so it really takes almost nothing in the cabinet to keep the gun going - with the siphon arrangement it was pounds of stuff in there, with the metering valve and the Eastwood gun it’s more like cups of abrasive. Much cleaner.
