It's actually not that hard to do your own investment casting for a very small number of simple parts with a hobbyist-grade 3D printer. You have to match the filament to what you're casting it in, so you can remove the filament from the poured metal and don't instantly melt the plastic. Slung Blade or iForge would probably be able to comment on it much more intelligently than I could. Of course, you probably have a poo poo ton of concerns about metallurgy. You're definitely not cranking out like forged items or anything I would put suspension loads on. But poo poo like radio trims or headlight bezels? Fill your boots. I know there are a bunch of guys on GRM who make their own suspension bushings that way with liquid high-durometer urethane.

I have been doing too much work with vmware recently and have run ~20 node systems in the past and never crashed vcenter. Well except when I discovered that the previous guy who ran one used the default sql express(?) database and we filled it up and had to migrate. At least the vcenter appliance is linux and uses a postgres DB. way nicer than dealing with the old windows based way of doing it. I don't know how big it is exactly, its virtual lab environments, so up to several hundred VM machines. I really don't know I've never touched vCenter before. Hmm, that lift looks interesting, I'll have to look into it further.

Well I don't know what the gently caress anymore. Eviction is off, we have another weeks grace. Situation as I now understand it is: 1:poo poo goes right, move this weekend, no biggie. 2: poo poo goes wrong but gets sorted next week. Move is nearly impossible due to work etc but no biggie. 3: poo poo goes wrong, doesn't get sorted until builder is back in the country in a couple of weeks. Disaster. I know moving house is supposed to be stressful but gently caress this.

Super Aggro Crag posted:That is loving hideous. They've got pedestrian impact safety standards to worry about. After all, why NOT require the front-end design of a vehicle to be compliant with efforts to reduce pedestrian injuries from impacts? Even if it fucks up styling and aerodynamics and only accounts for 14% of all vehicle-related fatalities.

At least the picture's relevant? Also, I can't be the only one who actually kinda likes how that concept looked. I thought it was decent.

It doesn't look quite as stable, or like it goes as high as the EZLift. But I like that it's self powered. I'm not worried about running out of storage space. If I need to I build additional storage sheds.

Changed the plugs, wires, cap and rotor on the pickup. Maybe it wouldn't have had those occasional misfires if the PO had bothered to set the plug gap. Now I have to figure out why it sometimes billows white smoke when I start it. Sometimes, not always, and only when I first start it.

It was a wonder to be able to walk outside for more then 10 minutes without being dripping wet from sweat. I used the AC on the rental like 3 times, and two of those times were to just cool off the car from sitting in the sun with the windows up. I drove with the windows down 99% of the 2 weeks I was there. I can see why people want to live there, particularly near the beach, but it would be seriously impractical for me, since I want a garage, a driveway, a yard, and I would have to somehow get my old RX-7 and my old Olds to meet emissions ('79 and '70, respectively. Old enough to be problematic, but not old enough to be exempt, since they use a fixed cut-off instead of Texas' 25-year rolling exemption.)

ilkhan posted:Nope. Did the casting himself. That is loving awesome! Get him in here! Seat Safety Switch posted:Jargon jargon jargon Nice. I'm no expert but I have taken a few metallurgy classes and visited a few casting houses. As far as I know, you would use the 3D print to make the latex mold negative, which you then make a positive out of wax, which you then add your chambers and runners, coat in the sand, bake the sand and melt the wax out, and then finally pour the metal into it. I don't think there exists a 3D printable plastic that can serve as a mold unless you're casting something in insanely low temps (gallium perhaps?). The temps aluminum needs to flow would ignite the plastic. It also doesn't help the aluminum shrinks a lot so mold design is very important. Pham Nuwen posted:SWAI: South West AI. This needs to happen. There's quite a few in Phoenix and Holdbrooks and I in Tucson. Rhyno posted:So just had this conversation with the girlfriend.
