might not even keep the wanhao frame, i've seen a few people replace it with 3030 extrusion with good results

seen one that's like a beefier taz 6, might try that

Going to weld it?

nah, i wanna be able to take it apart, just gonna go for big bolts

or maybe just Many normal m4 bolts

so i can just use the extrusion normally instead of drilling holes in it

Ah, forgot this is a 3D printer

Not like extrusion is expensive, I'd drill it

also, this carriage plate makes it pretty easy to swap toolheads around... might make a laser head for it too

looks like it'd be pretty easy to stick one of those 15W laser modules on it, still not enough to call it a proper laser cutter but it'll cut more than those dinky 500mW toys will

Feel laser devolopment has been held back due to reactionary regulation of them.

Are parts regulated or is it something you cant assemble yourself?

i mean i could get a 60W laser easily enough, way more if i wanna dump money into it it's just a matter of size and weight to put on a 3d printer

vs a whole separate machine

also as for getting a laser module it's just a matter of simplicity

has the diode, heatsink, mounting holes, driver board, all that stuff already built in to one handy brick

Neat, turns out as long as you dont point it at airplanes you can get pretty much any laser you can afford.

Are strong lasers regulated?

Nope, I was misinformed

I can imagine that pointing a blf GT a plane wouldn't work out great either.

any of you tried this product with a penis

whyy

try it and report back plz

I think I've found a new use for my orange pi

Connecting to university computers where my ISP doesn't give me a new zealand IP address

Sometimes they give an Australian address and I cannot use lab machines

Was australia finally range banned?

no

it's how connecting to my uni via ssh works

you NEED a NZ IP address

otherwise it'll blockade you

Can't you just use a VPN

Are there any think pads that aren't heavy

I know they are known for being durable but any lighter ones ?

but m-muh magnesium frame

the x220 are the smaller ones

Cheers

It's for my mommy and she's weak

Unless you lads know any other budget lightweight laptops

It seems like it's all Chromebooks these days
