Like many, coming from out of state, it’s easy to judge CA when you visit some place like LA County or the Bay Area and assume the entire rest of the state is the same
Gas around me is 4.19 to 4.29 for 87, or 4.59 if you’re going to Chevron or the sort
Upwards of 4.79 for the most expensive stuff if you’re trying to pay more
When my friend and I drove out to Utah, through Nevada and such coming from California, gas was probably the highest closest to Vegas and about the same everywhere else (even with California)
It was a bit more expensive too out near Reno when we stayed at another friends house just 2 months ago
Man that’s a great price for CA. I have been all over CA and haven’t seen anything less than $5 in the last six months. Highest I paid was in Weaverville.
Here are some (about 3/4 of them) of the places I have been the past year in CA
Onto the topic of 3D printing, I will need to request the assistance of someone here!
I’ve never made an enclosure, so I’d like to have a two piece enclosure that basically “snaps” together or something.
Since I now have a 3D printer, I thought I’d make one for my controller as I literally just sit it on an anti-static bag whenever I need to plug it in for anything.
Design is easy in CAD. Just need to limit your sizes to the build area, and then design a “snap together” point and method. Slip lock works well too (dove tail, rod and bore…)
It’s a little pricey. I’ve owned my X1 carbon for 2 years now and no other machine I’ve purchased before as ever brought me so much joy. Fully outfitted for me it’s about $4,700 Canadian that’s what the high-powered laser.
Right now I have to spend some money on buying a new Windows 11 mothership. But that printer is on my radar for the near future. I’d like to see some comments of how well it actually works and how it’s going to wear over a few months.
I would be extremely surprised if there’s any harsh negative reviews on this once the influencers start posting their vids .
All of the influencers and makers have already been test driving theirs for over a month I’m sure. It will probably be a few little glitches that will need some firmware tweaking once they roll out in Mass to all of the people.
Joel from the 3d printing nerd channel had a few issues with his review unit.
One of the nozzles clogged and he found that it was nearly impossible to clear the stuck filament. He heated it to try to clear the filament and the heat ruined the magnets that hold it to the tool changer and print head. They are basically trash if they get clogged.
The other issue is very uneven heating of the print bed, which caused bed adhesion issues with prints.
I found a site called Filamentcolors.xyz but many choices suggested cover types that aren’t applicable (TPU, ASA, etc). That or I’m hesitant if the submitted results are accurate enough to run with.
