3D printing is a great way to get the youngsters in to stuff that's not just screen time. My son took an interest when I got the printer and we printed some cool stiff like Star Wars, Dr Who stuff and all the slot car stuff etc. He wanted to do a school science project with his pal and we found...

And if buy two at same time.....?

I disagree. The only way to reliably print faster, let's say twice as fast.....is to have 2 printers.... At a bare minimum I'd go with: N+2 ;)

Tinkercad has an 'align' button, when you learn how to use it life becomes a little simpler.. ;-)

Yes, the 'snap' value is important, you can set it to 'off' be more granular so you can align everything, frustrating experience otherwise

Tinkercad (and Autodesk Fusion 360 ), allow you to click on an object and manually enter the dimensions too, Tinkercad is probably as simple as you'll get these days but you can great results with some effort.

I would go through the Tinkercad tutorials, the methodology and workflow to create shapes is a case of taking basic shapes as building blocks then tweaking them and grouping them together to make bigger shapes. To remove stuff you use another shape but make it a hole. I've used Photoshop for...

Tinkercad is also nuts. Few hrs and you can do this, they have great tutorials, jump in.....

Wow, choice, which one to take a punt on.....?

Thanks for the link, spend approx £600 - for the money these bikes seem look like phenomenal value for money, especially if it's your first ebike.

Probably about 1.5 hrs for 4 cone parts slicing at 0.12 resolution (high quality) so that's the base/top ring/middle ring/bottom ring. Half that time for 0.2 resolution slice (standard quality). However that's not how I print the cones, I tend to do 16 of one part at a time (sometimes 32), and...

https://www.electricscooterslondon.com/collections/eleglide-electric-bikes/products/eleglide-citycrosser-electric-bike Wow, a lot bike for £600, my current battery cost £500....very tempted too to just buy one and take a punt for local rides and keep the 1500W beast rear hub for longer trips...

3D printers are nuts, had my Kickstarter FDM Creality CR6 SE for nearly three yrs now and it still runs great, as we speak it's churning out parts for model 1:32 scale traffic cones in various colorways (cpl pics below), that I sell on ebay. I use mainly PLA/PLA+ and use branded...

Or you get burgled or your house catches fire or there is a gas explosion or there is a large meteor on course to wipe the planet out. Stay safe...Cloud. Musk has got servers in space...that might be an option, pricey mind...and what if he's using Western Digital....?

Cloud storage has security baked in...it's the most sophisticated security that exists. If you look at the big players, SAP, MS Azure, AWS etc. rarely are they hacked...on-prem dinosaurs are hacked daily. If I wanted your data (not the mucky films... ;-) ), then it wouldn't be hard to work out...

Eventually you will see the error of your ways...back to Teletext now to get the latest news... ;)

On-premise storage RAID etc. is yesterday's news, spend a few $$ and sync to the Cloud provider of your choice.

A small part of a ground floor flat was damaged in the fire that is believed to have been caused by the failure of lithium batteries in an e-bike Well, apart from the guy getting burnt, this story is a plus as at least LFB now quotes the cause, batteries, not ebikes - which we all know are...

That's a very cool ebike, I wonder how much kits would cost if it ever got to scale? Probably an issue is that for £1k you can find an old car at local garage that is taxed and will get you a yr's motoring in the dry with heat, range, passengers and boot. I do very little mileage in my current...
