Bad bearing on a moving part. Or a bur along a rail, It catches just enough to cause the smooth motion to jitter a bit as the head moves along. Blobbing the material down instead of spreading it nice and even.

You have a draft going through your room, I used to have same issue when my printer was beside a window. Less when I moved the printer to middle of the room and issue was gone when put the printer into a closet. With closed doors.

You can try lowering bed temperature to, the warm bed keeps lower layer pliable but the upper layers cool and contract pulling the more flexible layer up and away. So a cooler bed temp should make the bottom layers more ridgid.

You are a fucking monster. The point of this was to have some laughs not cause a poor walmart employee to beat their spouse or off them selves. Damn you're cruel.

Dear-modern will find a way to make this in a 10/10 home

One of the most confusing places to be in is a Canadian machine shop. Half the machines will be imperial and the other will be metric. Work order come in both units on the regular.

You give the word power and meaning by viewing it certain way. To me cuss words have no power they are meaningless. equivalent to a simple filler word. Others around you might give power to cussing, but then why is it your fucking problem that they choose to be simps for a word?

Everyone worried about the bending force, the retaining slots will tear out and drop the damn thing on the desk well before it bends.

Yah this is bad I run a cnc plasma table, big table 10 feet x 20 feet. It uses floppy disks. Pain in the ass to find a new drive and pain in the ass to find new disks because constant write re write emf and metal dust kills them. But despite that it's still cheaper and easier than a $15k retro fit to a more modern controler.

One weird trick that DOT doesn't want you to know.

 

Need some help with overcoming the initial hurdles of a learnjng curve. I'm in a fake it till I make it type situation right now. We acquired most of the equipment that a machine/fab shop would have and most of them, there is plenty of information online to learn from. Except for the horizontal boring mill, and I am struggling. The tooling all needs to be made up for it. Nothing I can purchase direct. The spindle is a MT6. My supplier can only get me reducers to MT5. And setting up parts is quite time consuming.

Any advice or know how on being able to turn a profit on this machine would be appreciated.

The machine is a TOS W100 in mostly good working order. Apart from the boring head dropping 0.020" if I cut in reverse travel after forward travel cutting.

Thanks
