    I've never seen the guy and he knew the boss, called him by name. I figured he'd come back and pay him.....nope.

    My coworker :frusty:

    He always wants to do things the hard way. He’s working on a hot job, stainless shaft with a large flat on it. He’s standing here cranking the Y handle back and forth.

    We have a perfectly good 2 axis cnc mill across from it he could use....

    He does everything like this :annoyed:

    I'm messing with you. Mike Skinner used to be sponsored by a friend of mine who owned a mobile home business when he ran a small track locally here. My first welder was a Millermatic 185 Mike Skinner edition, I didn't buy it because of his name on it, it was the only one they had :rofl:

    He did drive a truck at one time didn't he? I don't watch racing :anonymous:

    I have trouble with that sometimes as well, the warping. I’ve gotten mixed results on a few of the things I’ve tried, so usually I’ll use a raft even when it shouldn’t be necessary. It doesn’t help that the center of my bed is lower than the corners. On both of my beds, the original and replacement.

    My center is lower by a hair, too, so I use a raft all the time now. I had PLA pretty well dialed in before my hard drive failed and took the Cura settings with it but I haven't spent as much time with ABS as the PLA to have it figured out.

    Aww man I feel your pain on the cura settings. I updated my main board to an skr e3 mini which uses marlin firmware. I tried to export my start g-code from my ender setup to the marlin, and accidentally deleted my start g-code. I had to start from scratch on all my settings. That was a bit depressing.

    I just carry extra gas caps the number of times my fumble fingers drop them and a vehicle runs over them is very good.

    Chasing after a dropped gas cap like a Dog with a ball I got hit by a car once I was lucky no damage to the car.

    The other times they role to the center of the truck this only happens when I have my Go to meeting clothing on .
