NW WA Meet / BS Thread

yep, let me know if you want to use it

 

you guys attach your snorkel to the A-pillar? Mines been flying free for like 3yrs now. Just holdin on like a hubcap in the fast lane, fo shiggity. 100mph winds and trail branches haven't ripped it off yet.

I read too many reports of people not getting it sealed right and now they have a seasonal creek that visits the passenger side footwell right where the ECU is.

 

x2 for surface prep most likely causing the adherence issue. I used VHB for mine and it’s been holding strong for years now

 

i drilled a hole in my a-pillar, filled it with silicone, no leaks, knock on wood.

Some people have used heavy duty outdoor velcro, the clear stuff.

 

Thanks homie, im going to try this adhesive shit one more time and then ill give you a shout if I want to start drilling holes

 

JB Weld ;-)

 

I don't want the snorkel to rip off my A pillar if I hit a branch

 

JB weld would almost be a color match once cured. No touch-up needed!

 

Which one you go for? A 3d printer had been on the short list for awhile. Just cant decide vs a "cheaper" one or just got for a prusa 3d

 

ender 5 pro

 

i have some ideas for a 3d printer. probably make some money too.

 

I've been wanting one for a while, between little things for the Tacoma, my LS 400, and Milwaukee stuff I've got a list. Some stuff is available through online repos just download, send it and print. Others need a file created. Once I get it dialed in, and a feel for what works and doesn't work I'm open for suggestions or requests. I've been told it's not as easy as it seems and a lot of people get frustrated when prints don't turn out then decide to give up and sell their printer.

 

Who is interested in a run to Tahuya within the next month? I need to go get some parts from @velillen and figured I might as well hit it while I’m in his area

ETA: the 26th is ideal for me

 

i want 1-200 tiny dildos that i can put in some of the squad cars in weird places

 

I have a printer, lets make wired things together and get rich quick

 

So many people buy cheap and expect pro level prints. Which your cheap printer won't do. Let alone jumping right into complex parts. It is a benefit in the cheaper machines in the printable upgrade parts let you get some practice before doing things yourself.

There's definitely a market for selling parts. Hello just go to thingsverse browse around and post up stuff you find there to print and people pay for it.

 

im thinking of a gauge

gauge pod for the overhead sunglasses area.

 

Once again, jb weld to the rescue. I think a tiny dick super glued under the door handle would be amazing

 

Do you have a file made or it just an idea at this point?

 

very good idea.
