A couple thing I printed over the past few days... a new tire cone made from PETG. The first one was PLA, which is not nearly as robust. Then I made some Dewalt "hangers". I need a deeper piece of wood though so I can fit my drill on it too. My plan was to put my two 1/4" impacts, and my drill on this, then the saws and 1/2" impact on the other.






Ohhhh.... and this. What do you guys thing of this? I'm going to redo it in silver/gray filament

At least until I retire, then I might need to watch out.

That intake looks great. We used to clean aluminum parts with wheel acid and a wire brush. That got us to the same relative place without going to the doghouse.

I think that Seymour color is probably a little darker than this. This is just a little brighter than it looks in the pic.

You sure are finding some good uses for that printer!

Rather than "351," how about a "5.8" in the same style as a "5.0" badge?

I started with wheel cleaner and brushes in the shower. I have a spray attachment that I use for Duncan baths that worked great to hose everything off.

P. S. The only one who can put me in the doghouse is me.
