Ender 3 Pro Bed Movement after removal of most of the the helical twist in the Y Axis Extrusion
The short description: I removed the extrusion that the bed rides on and stuck about 3/4" into a vise. I used a large pipe wrench to twist the extrusion, attempting to go just beyond the modulus of elasticity so that there was a small change in the twist. I was quite lucky in that I hit it fairly closely, I probably couldn't do it a second time if I tried.
This is the result of the modification, the bubble level shows that the bed is staying fairly consistent in the X Axis as it moves along the full length of the Y Axis.
There are 2 bumps in the extrusion as the bed approaches the 2 limits of travel and there is a small shift in the X axis when the bed crosses over these point. About 1 inch at the front and back extremes of the bed are out of calibration and can't be reliable used for printing, other than that, it is working fairly well.

FlexRadio 1500 and the Microsoft Surface Pro
Переглядів 2,9 тис.11 років тому
I had an opportunity to try out a Microsoft Surface Pro running a FlexRadio 1500 Software Defined Radio. The software ran the radio perfectly but user interface using touch was not ideal. Tuning the radio seems to work best using the wheel on the mouse which isn't directly available on the Surface. The interpretation of the touch commands sometime caused the interface to do funny things. The ot...
Running the Trains - Outtakes

Our 10 month old puppy takes on the camera car which is being pushed by an Aristocraft Eggliner. Not only does the dog cause problems, but the Eggliner will occasionally decide to stop moving. A little nudge gets it going again.

First time out this spring. The dog didn't remember the trains from before and was quite wild. A small twig derailed the truck the camera was on. This is the first video made with my new Midland XTC-100 camera. It doesn't have the resolution of my big camera but it does a very commendable job.

    Nice refresher training for my trusty 7200. It's my back-up now, with my 7300 doing most SSB. I have my 7200 doing digi work.....well, I am getting there anyhow.

    On my IC- 7200 the TUNE icon doesn't appear on the screen and I press the tuner button it only makes a short beep that's all. What does it mean ?The tuner is turned on in the menu .

    Good radio but there is no FM mode for 10 meters repeater or even for simplex qso.

    As I recall, and this is now going pretty far back in my memory, the the 7200 had a receiver on par with the old IC-746 but I could be mistaken. The 718 is a good basic receiver but it has almost always been a sub $1000 radio plus at this time it is a pretty old design. When I picked the 7200 I wanted the club to have something that would work for contests and this was the best radio, at the time, for the money. I think Icom may have given us a deal because we bought two. There is nothing wrong with the 718. If you are going to buy a new radio now, and you don't plan on putting it in a multi-radio contest station, I would go for the IC-7300, but that's just my personal preference.

    Say, I've had a 718 and can't help but notice certain similarities between it and this 7200. Would you tend to believe they are similar receivers? It appears the 7200 is a 718 with a face lift and added gingerbread.

    One of these showed up at Field Day. 3 of us spent 15 minutes trying to change bands. This required a manual. Then we tried to get the CW key to work. An hour later after digging through the manual...no luck. I know it needs to be in BK in mode but we couldn't find how to change it. We finally gave up and someone went and picked up the IC-7100 which is much more intuitive. I hate this rig.

    • @adelarsen9776
      @adelarsen9776 8 років тому

      Greg Jones Dear Greg, In The Pacific and Europe the 7200 is deleted and no longer stocked by the Icom agents and the retailers have run out of shop stock. (I've rung around and checked). Yes, I have looked at USA online stores and they appear to be still available. The US market is most probably still separate to the world market. And Yes, the Japanese Icom international site still shows it as being available. I am about to purchase 2 of the Icom 718 models with DSP. Good luck Sir and Happy, healthy and prosperous new year to you. Cheers :-)

    Once I get my general I may have to get one these radios. I like the fact that it has features to make it more accessible to people with visual impairments. Besides the voice function, the layout of the buttons seems reasonably blind friendly. I don't need those features, but it's nice that they are there. A big selling point for me is the USB port on the back. Being able to do rig control and digital modes from one cable is very cool.

    so, overall, how well do you like the 7200 and in comparison to what receivers have you compared it? I kinda like it but wish it were just a bit larger..couple of inches and an up/down control.

  • @Varianna12

    @MrMaxwellBrowne Quite rare. But DX QSOs on FM are cool--audio quality. I worked some JAs on 10 meter FM--quite a thrill.

  • @ThomasJBray
    @ThomasJBray 13 років тому

    There is plenty of metal and shielding for the important stuff. The case, regardless of the material, has enough holes in it to not provide much shielding, the real shielding is provided by the interior chassis pieces. I think the radio is made out of the same material (metal) that is used in the small water resistant HT radios. I don't have the radio at the moment so I can't check it out.

    AT-100 is now the AT-100Pro II, I don't know if there is any major differences in the tuners. The AT-100 needs an adapter cable to connect to either Icom, Yaesu, Alinco. Their site doesn't mention Kenwood. Tom

  • @fulviotesta
    @fulviotesta 13 років тому

    automatic tuner that uses for Yaesu ft 840?

  • @ThomasJBray
    @ThomasJBray 13 років тому

    The display isn't too bad, it only has the important stuff on it anyway. Most of the HF radios don't have back lit buttons so that isn't just this radios problem.

  • @ThomasJBray
    @ThomasJBray 14 років тому

    Icom says that they left off the FM so that they could tighten up the roofing filters. We used the radio on 6M last year for one of the VHF contests and it did very well on SSB.
