What did you buy this week?

[CloverKnollFarms]

Hinson clutch kit

 

[Alan W.]

22 sheets of Advantech subfloor for the new house in Yellville.

Bought a stack last fall for my sons house build. $39 a sheet. Kinda pricey.

A beginner 3d printer for my son and I to play around with. He has always been a maker kid, seems like this is a good progression.

"Beginner" 3d printer, the cheaper ones take a bit more fiddling/experimenting/slicing set up then a Ender or similar. They are an example of a "starter" sometimes being a bad choice for a 1st time user.

Recommend PLA and PLA+ to get some good models built first, before trying the more frustrating filaments, and keep him intrested

Good luck. That seems like a great idea.

It is one of the newest Ender models. It looks like overall they do take a little more fiddling, but from the sounds of it Creality has worked out a lot of the kinks. A few other things is there is a HUGE community of Ender users, thus every single issue, workaround and fix has been well documented. In addition there are tons of upgrades you can do to these machines as well. For this reason they say they are good machines for people who really want to get their hands dirty and learn about the mechanics of 3d printing because they do take a little bit of fiddling at times, they are simple to work on and there are endless upgrades, hacks and things to tinker with.

Bought a '90 Pete 379 yesterday.

Now waiting for a rebuilt 3406B and an 18 speed to be installed, getting it converted to a single axle, the cab and sleeper getting sound proofed, new paint, and a few other odds and ends.

All for about $10K more than a new Chevy Silverado 1500 2WD WT.

7' root/landscape rake and SSQA adapter --> 3pt hitch connection, both at auction.

You know we have been paying tariffs for 5 years already right?

Correct, imposed by Trump in 2019. Subsequently prices in the US have increased by what 50% to 100%? Hum, I wonder why?

What could tariffs do that biden and harris didn't already do with their 30% increase over 4 yrs.

Can you be more specific? I see an increase of solar panels and electric vehicles from China.

Take the blinders and headphones off. You are getting bad information.

Folks, please take the tariff talk over to this thread. Thanks.
