Work Bench & Garage Version 2

[FarFire70]

Finished off the time in the garage adjusting the garage door. It was approaching 95* and about 300% humidity.

I had adjusted the up/down travel and the pressure/tension of the opener after installing the insulation a year or two ago. I noticed recently the door really slammed open and found it was hitting a bolt and stopping due force rather than set travel distance.

Adjusted and now it stops here:

Gives me 85.5" of clearance:

And the Jeep looks to only need ~80"

(At some point, this thread should talk about a Jeep since we're on WTJF, right? )

Added some of spare magnetic mounts to the tool chest to alleviate confusion on the tool cart.

Breathing room on the tool cart:

Never thought of that. Thanks for the tip. I put 2 on my day box. 2 small pieces of double stick and I’m ready to go.

Does this mean you're getting a 4" lift?!?

 

[FarFire70]

Does this mean you're getting a 4" lift?!?

I just put on 4" of susp and moved from 33s to 35s. That measurement is post lift & tires...

Love you guys here -> but can I get that setup dirty once before you bump me up to 37s, new axles, and another inch or two on the suspension?

People here always willing to spend your money.

Was thinking the same thing. I have 2 chairs I need to add to the CAD and will need a place to stick them.


That's a good idea but I'll need to look at some sort of pulley system as it's a 10' ceiling.




Yup that's the air compressor and not likely to move with this update. It has a pretty extensive copper line to chill the air and condense water out of the air for tool longevity & help when I get around to using it for painting. I live in a pretty humid area.

Tank & lines have auto-drain valves that run for 8-10 seconds to get rid of any water and drain the tank when I'm done with the job. Both are run through a water separator (you can see it at the bottom of the first picture.)

Yup - that's my MIG welder. White cylinder next to it is the wet/dry vac. I need to keep the Tool cart in the middle approximately where it is because the 220 outlet is right about where the welder is parked so I can't block it with the cart's top.



Blue = trash. Green = recycling. They are currently over by the ladder so this makes them easier to get to. May move them outside but our HOA requires a covering/fencing to hide them so I'm not overly in love with that (yet).

BTW - Great guessing on the vague, blocky representations!

I used bike hangers to get the ladders off the floor and hang from the ceiling, same for everyone's bikes.

Went to M12 tools recently. Needed a storage solution.

Printed off some mounts in PETG-HF on Bambu X1C:

Also printed battery storage in the same material:

Pulled both designs from design from either Makers World or Thingiverse — I looked at a bunch so I can't recall exactly where these came from to link.

I was getting so tired of storing my torque wrench here because it doesn't fit in any of my drawers (too long). I ran into it too many times....

I draw up some hooks in Fusion 360 and then decided a stopper would keep it from falling to the floor if I misjudged dropping it on the hooks:

Update on a few new 3D printed add-ons for the garage.

Drew these up in Autodesk Fusion 360. Tap oil holder & holder for bench drill press tools:

Found this mount design out on the web - Thingiverse, MakerWorld, etc - Can't recall where I found it. Had to make sure I found one for M12 and not M18 tool.

Inside the cage of the gray tool holder are center-finding 3D printed tools to find the center of round stock materials.

Fits perfectly. This is a great solution to get a large tool off my workbench horizonal surface.

Great, now I'm going to have to find that grease gun mount. Nice work.

lol - It was a good find.

Pretty sure it's this one:

Thanks for the link.

Any time.

I went with PLA with standard printing parameters recommended by Bambu for PLA.

I have their ASA loaded so may run with that. I have PETG on the way too.

PETG is my go-to for anything that won't rid within the Jeep. It's a great material. Prints awesome. I use the PETG-HF from Bambu.

For anything going within the Jeep's interior I go with ABS-GF as heat is the concern there. I've heard great things about ASA materials so I want to try out a roll the next time I do a filament bulk buy (I tend to buy multiple rolls at a time when I need it).

I tend to think PLA for toys/fidget things/etc. But I push myself to try it for things that I think won't see too much stress to save a few cents (as I have a bunch of PLA is many colors) - and I want to see where it meets my needs and when/if it breaks. If the PLA on this one breaks, I'd go to PETG next and work up to ABS (or ASA).

After starting with an Ender 3 V2, I am amazed how well the Bambu prints the ABS-GF. I've only had a couple bad prints on the Bambu with ABS-GF and that was because I wasn't cleaning the print plate before printing (fingerprint oils, etc). I never use glue thus far and get great adhesion.

I haven’t tried any ABS yet. I used PLA on my license plate holder for the tailgate and it cracked so I reprinted with ASA and haven’t had any issues. ASA is the only one I needed glue for but the thing I was printing, can’t remember exactly what it was, was very thin walled but a fairly large squareish shape and it would bow in the middle and pull up at the edges. I also started cranking the heat up on the build plate and best I could in the chamber before printing and it seemed to like it better.

I’ve only used the bambu filaments but I’ve been wanting PETG and they have been out so I ordered some off Amazon and the next day got the in stock notification for Bambu so ordered a few rolls from them too.

You can use acetone to bond ASA (as with ABS), also you can make a glue with snips of filament dissolved in acetone. The acetone melts the surfaces together.

I’ve been wanting PETG and they have been out

Yeah, tell me about it.

next day got the in stock notification for Bambu

I didn't get any notification but nice to know it's back. Will be placing an order momentarily.

Not surprised on the PLA cracking. Good call to move up to ASA.

I don't know much about it yet but heard its very similar to ABS for heat handling.

I've been against glue bc it's over if those 'no turning back' things on the plate. But from what you described, that sounds like it may be a case where option was required.

I've also only printed Bambu on my Bambu. PETG has been out a lot. Other day, I got a notified of a color I wanted in refill was back in stock but it was back out within 24 hours before I tried to purchase. But I was just told today it's back in stock (didn't get to it yet as I want to inventory what else I need for a bulk buy). So the PETG has been touchy in stock recently.

Interesting to on the acetone. Does it then all release without residue?

Sorry, I thought he meant bonding printed pieces together, not glue for bed adhesion. Do not use acetone on the build plate!

I have the glue stick and liquid but haven't used them yet.

I think one of the big differences is UV resistance, believe ASA handles it better.
