Re: Cheapo diesel sound card

Well it works on a standard RX setup, sorry about the out of focus video :oops: Next thing is getting a servo output on a Micron RX603. Well, I need to talk to you about a soundcard, so I can give you instructions on how to configure a spare 'P' output to be a servo, as well.. 8) Phil.P Erm, yup, t...

Re: British businesses who won't sell to Canada

Seems a bit harsh that. Although if the seller or even the buyer isn't covered for legal reasons or whatever it is, should be addressed I think, why stop a buyer from buying something that another buyer from other countries can buy it, apart from those that you have mentioned...just so harsh again.....

Re: Gmeinder & Co loco

It looks like most of it would print reasonably well in filament. I'd probably use the three-part version of the bonnet to allow the sides to lay flat and minimize support. With a 0.12 or 0.16 layer height most of the detail should come through, possibly even the grille- but I always scrutinize the...

Re: Gmeinder & Co loco

With filament you wouldn't get the same level of detail, for certain, but I'm not sure just how much you would actually lose. In due course, I'll probably upload the stl's on here, so you could try printing one of the front bonnet sides by itself and see if it works and whether you think it worth g...

Re: Nolwyn Valley Tramway

Wow, that's a bit of a shock. Looks nice though. :thumbright: Looking forward to the tutorial, I tried to make one using giphy, I got a trial clip and it works on my laptop, but it won't load onto the forum. Tried 'Add Files' and 'Link' but it just doesn't like it, must be doing something not right....

Re: Gmeinder & Co loco

So there is no way I could print it with just filament then, that's such a shame, I think it's a brilliant build and extremely well designed. :thumbright:

Re: Photos Removal

Thanks you both. My MacBook Pro has SSD Drew and yes when I first got it, it was really really fast, but now it kind of works fine sometimes then it just gets ridiculously slow. I have Mackeeper for which has helped but it still gets overworked and it seems that my photos and videos are slowing it d...

This is kind of an Off Topic. I would like to know if I removed my photos off my MacBook, (I have over 12000 photos and 500 videos) would removing them also remove them off the forum. My MacBook is really old now, Vintage apparently, :lol :lol and is getting slow because they are taking up a lot of ...

Re: Gmeinder & Co loco

The biggest bits are the two side frames, which are 150mm long, I don't know if they will fit on your printer bed, I know you've had size problems before? Will they fit diagonally?

Re: Nolwyn Valley Tramway

It would be a shame to remove the circular pond, it makes for a better feature and also a small waterfall. If you could use even just 6" of that unused space with the rubble, you would still then be able to use the larger stock and for me it would be look more aesthetically better and also make...

Re: Gmeinder & Co loco

Would I be able to print that on my printer using PVA or similar. I have only actually printed with PVA though. It's just that you hear some stories about how difficult ABS and other filament can be. I have had some rubbish PVA though and it's been really terrible to use. I am no where near ready to...

Re: Nolwyn Valley Tramway

Looks like things are progressing well Drew. Would it not be possible to run you track on the other side of the right hand fence, you could have a nice curve then for larger stock.

I think I would be asking the "Boss" if it was possible... :lol :lol
