Would this be the right thread for CNC routers? It didn't seem like the best fit for woodworking thread. Are any of the home models (say under $2000) to the point where they can support a woodworking hobby vs being a hobby of "making this janky machine function" without much effort?

That's a pretty easy bridge to make with a small ball of solder/generous tinning on a small tip. Just be sure to have a good way to hold the board, and work from a comfortable position with good lighting. I have horribly unsteady hands and with good ergonomics soldering 0603 size stuff is easy.

If you're doing this stuff paying $100-200 for a digital hakko or Weller is just the cost of doing business

A school lab level Weller isn't top end gear, it's a step or two up from entry level and a good buy. If you're actually broke that's one thing but if you've got money and got hobbies you'll have a lot more fun with the stuff in that value for money sweet spot like the hakko or Weller stations.

I feel like being a "maker" and using the new tools often becomes this exercise in acquiring and setting up these things and then using them trivially to print the tugboat and make the Arduino blink a light or whatever, at least the guys with table saws and lathes build a chair once in a while.

Lead is a great material but man 3D printing would definitely bring out its worst traits. Been using lead sheets a lot at work as chafing gear on tubing, anything that's chafing goes from copper tubes with rubber to stainless tubes with lead.

For a filament printer what material am I looking at printing in if I need parts that can exist in temps of like 50-80C? Like hot car kind of temps. Is ABS the only option? I'm renting and can't easily vent to exterior.

Phone posted:are you looking for things to put under the hood? Not really. I just want something that can comfortably withstand 80C because it's sort of the upper bound on surfaces/spaces I encounter casually in a personal use kind of setting. Interested in what you'd use under the hood anyway though.

Doesn't the nylon soften at like 52c anyway, where do you need a structural material that doesn't reach that temp

Still looking at printers for when I get done with my crazy work schedule this winter and have some free time in the spring, is there anything to be found at a higher price point than the Prusas that benefits the hobbyist? Like going from a ~$1k max budget to $2k?

If you have a big Flashlight Guy and he walks underneath with it on in his pocket, everyone rushes to check out the fire alarm just in time for a shower

cakesmith handyman posted:The plastic feet on our cheap camp beds are broken which is a risk for the tent ground sheet. There's nothing wrong with the rest of the beds but before I got the printer I was facing buying 2 new ones. Now I can save the beds going in the landfill and the cost of 2 new beds for about £3 in plastic. Will post pics when in progress. Cut open tennis balls for universal feet!

Ordered a Prusa kit here in the pandemic hell age i hope it makes its journey across the earth I meant to order one a month ago but felt bad because my wife decided not to make a similarly sized purchase, but then I got an overtime windfall of $prusa so gently caress it serious edit: what other stuff do I need for this?

Ambrose Burnside posted:seriously regretting not buying a Mars back before the pandemic, the pro is out of stock indefinitely, even the non-pro version is gone from canadian amazon and our dollar is plummeting fast enough that ordering from the US is getting pricier by the day. still think i'll go for it ASAP, probably gonna have a lot of time to kill in the next few weeks/months. I didn't get one because I don't want to waste gloves on resin handling and I'd want to build a filtered enclosure which is also impossible rn
