Yup, Facebook on mobile sucks
It's slightly better in a desktop browser...but only slightly.
The only thing Facebook excels in is ease of posting.

Re: A Tea between friends :-) How was Your Day
Who still uses Facebook anyways?
Received some nice things last week. New TIG-welder soon to be ready (only need Argon gas and a welding table), and I ordered some samples from Misumi for my upcoming printer build. I think I have finally found the perfect parts for Ultimaker style cartesian printers.
For prototypes, use BFLB8-15, which is a precision oil-free bushing. It fits PERFECTLY onto Misumi's G2 ground shafts (ideally SSFJ-8, the stainless steel variant. Because you need no oil). This is a very expensive part, because it has been pre-fitted and toleranced. You only need to stick it into a printed slider block and have great precision.
If you have the tools to drill holes into aluminum and hone them to h7 tolerance (Note: Those tools cost quite a bit, but it's not black magic or anything), you can buy an alternative bushing for 0.90 EUR which has the same precision once it has been fitted to such a precise mounting hole. So you can make a prototype with "no" tools, and then switch to series production - if you want to - and actually make a relatively cheap slider block with built-in high precision bushing.
/edit:
Oh, and of course be prepared to see a fully welded stainless steel printer frame
I hope I won't fk this up completely

The Facebook Groups are tough to follow, one has to really make use of the search function since you can't link a post.

The spool holder on the UMO+ is not the best. It's either too small, or too big, or too "sloppy". If you are not using it anymore what are you using instead?

I bet noone saw this but the one Gudo ises for the zge is inside this other design
https://www.youmagine.com/designs/bondt ... 2-extended
It hangs on a side and feeds the zge

Gudo has been quiet
I am curious what his brilliant mind has been up to!

Re: A Tea between friends :-) How was Your Day
We found a great way to give away some of our Ultimaker robot test pieces.
We had a scout about for some of our local geocaches and left one in each of the ones we found, 3 out of the 5 we set our walk about,

Almost done setting up my new TIG welder. Now I only need to sharpen the tungsten electrode (thinking about making a diy electrode sharpener) and put everything together. Should get the first results next weekend, hopefully.

Re: A Tea between friends :-) How was Your Day
If Amazon delivers as promised, I will be busy outdoors tomorrow: The key switch on my electric garage door opener decided to break and the door went up & down erratically. Now I have to replace the whole thing.
I thought I could fix the old one but the lousy micro switches inside just felt apart when I took a look.

Re: A Tea between friends :-) How was Your Day
I've been camping mostly. Grants Pass, Oregon (2 days), Southern Oregon coast (1 day), Oregon Country Fair (4 days). Spending this weekend in my shop working on a garden bench for my former manager (he retired last week), then off camping again next weekend.
Busy schedule.
