That's a funny way to spell "James Workshop"

Cars are fun to me, especially older cars that have character and aren't so big and soundproof. I live out in the mountains and it really is a good time to go for a Sunday drive along twisty roads, no real destination in mind. For instance, in the fall, after a rain, with windows down, the vivid colors and smells help me slow down, clear my mind and remind me I'm part of the world, not just a passive observer.

And yes, I realize what sub this is in.

They went crazy and they're no longer supermen.

All good additions!

My main concerns are:

  1. More unsprung weight is always bad for suspension performance and handling.

  2. Whenever you have to replace the rear tire, you're also going to have to disconnect the electric connections from the motor, which coupled with the extra vibration from being unsprung, introduces a greater risk of one of the connections coming loose during riding.

  3. If you are in an accident or hit a pothole that damages the rear wheel, you're going to have to get an OEM replacement that will be expensive because the motor is integrated into it

Hub mounted motor? No thanks. I would rather do normal chain/belt care then deal with the inevitable maintenance issues that would lead to.

Ketchup needs to be refrigerated because it's a cooling fluid for boiling lava hot potatoes.

Followed by X-Files of course.

 

My resin printer was powered off with resin in the vat for about 7 months. Last night I turned it on, gave it a job, and I woke up to a successful print.

My inkjet printer was powered off for 2 weeks. Last night I turned it on, gave it a job, and was instantly disappointed with a streaky, blotchy output. Running a clean cycle just made the output worse.

Why are 2D printers so terrible despite decades of development? What are some 2D printers this community has had good interactions with/would recommend?
