I maintain that this is car poo poo  A $200 3D printer (Wanhao i3), maybe $100 in filament (WYZ brand ABS is what I'd recommend - you just need the different colors and will end up with extra), and maybe $40-50 in bearings/fasteners. Worth it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ibIXaNXtqQ

Is there a car parked right in the middle of where your construction site camp is going to be, despite no parking signs having been up for 2 weeks in advance? Do you happen to have a reasonably-sized forklift? Funny how problems just seem to solve themselves   This isn't the first time we've had to do this, and the guys are getting pretty good at it. We were debating putting it on top of a shipping container or something. KozmoNaut fucked around with this message at 21:17 on Jul 24, 2016 |

So I saw this a few minutes ago; and then I went to find out what the deal is because it looks like a modern day tweaking of an old car. Turns out no, this is a 1961 Corvette 'Kelly' which just looks like it's modern due to the quite fantastic forward thinking design work gone into it. It is 1 of 1, designed by a guy called Gordon Kelly.  Look at dat rear end  The interior is more 'of the time' but is still pretty drat sweet  If I didn't know better I would've assumed it was possibly a Ferrari or a Lamborghini, definitely Italian, certainly not a Corvette.

That's probably because it's a coachbuilt car done by the italian coachbuilder Vignale, who actually did make bodies for Ferraris!  If you haven't watched the Petrolicious video on the car, do it. It's fabulous. It's literally some random guy wanted to have his own car made, so he ordered a Corvette chassis from the factory (which wasn't entirely without precedent - there were lots of coachbuilders around at the time and a lot of very wealthy people had new bodies made for Cadillacs and the like), and sent it to Vignale for them to build a body for it based off of his design.

Because I have some extra filament and a printer. What temperature does your flowbench get to? ABS starts softening at around 200C.

Funny how problems just seem to solve themselves Boss came to work once to get the 3.5 ton truck for moving stuff and someone was parked across the main roller door. Thing was there's like 10 car parks not in front of the roller door all empty on a weekend. He only just managed to get the fork out attached a snap strap to the tow bar and wrenched it out into the street at a ridiculous angle. Taped a note to the whole front of the windscreen, " Don't park there oval office," using half a roll of tape in the middle of summer, in 72 point font, took the van and locked up. Camera shows the owner coming back around 4 hours, spending about an hour getting the tape off the windscreen.

It might be easiest to fiddle the scale to accept valves I have laying around, but yeah. PLA would work fine on the flowbench too, it doesn't actually get hot. I actually have a printer myself and have been looking for an excuse. Either this or one of our heads (R&D facility for a small engine manufacturer)

He knew drat well the guy would be long gone before the fish cops got there, so he and his conductor take matters in their own hands and tied some massive logging chain they had to the axle of the truck and the knuckle of the locomotive and dragged the truck up the loving mountain about 2 miles... ripping the front end of it out in the process and bouncing it off several trees along the way, and it made most of the trip on its side. Poaching gently caress never made a complaint even though it was blindingly obvious what happened not that the old man would have given any fucks.

I seem to recall someone saying that motorcycles with sidecars are the worst of both worlds and not-awesome recently. I have to disagree, here's a friend's story. I posted the story recently but can't find it, and the photos just turned up on facebook...quote:Was going through pictures today from that crazy trip I took in 2012 when I used the 650 Ural to haul the Suzuki to Savannah, and all the stuff that broke on that trip - driveshaft, both swingarm bolts sheered at same time, air-box, fuel taps, alternator, gearbox, two shocks, all three wheel bearings, and the seat. Did all the repairs myself either on the side of the road, in Lowes parking lots, or at motels. Replacing the air-box with PVC pipe and then after sucking in water in a rain storm making a rain hood for it out of Gorilla Tape - which worked grand in the next big rain/hail storm. Or being half way through swapping the gearbox and having a rain storm hit and having to wrap the engine in a trash bag. That was a glorious adventure. Don't have any real pictures of the beautiful scenery but I did document the break downs and repair work. He drove it like this from Worcester MA to Savannah GA. No tow truck, no backup, no copilot, nothing, just his wits, tools, and what he could scrounge along the way. On a Ural. Pictured are some of the repairs that had to be done along the way.

I assume they have foam mats they stuff in the drawers to hold everything in place while shipping? Or maybe it's the intern's job to re-sort everything when they unload it from the truck.

InitialDave posted:How do you stand with that sort of thing over there? In the UK, you can move a vehicle if it's causing an obstruction, but are liable for any damage caused doing so. I have no idea, but I'm pretty sure we should have called the police, so they could have contacted the owner. But the police station is like 500 meters away, and we didn't want to make them walk all the way over here
