Good to see you back. We want you around for a long time.
I hope you are healthy and not pushing yourself.
You don’t mess with Flea. He’s not short, he’s compact.
Flea is a she and she’s the psycho that they let torture
those 2 guys of the ones they caught raiding that farm,
back when Wakonda was being a pain. She’s looks little
and cute, but there’s no WAY I’d let her hug me!
Thanks, I was going to look it up, but we had a storm blow
through and it trashed my internet, it was like back in the
old days of dialup! Just loading up TGW-700 took 15 mins.
Yeah, and that’s the trap part, she’s all cute and innocent,
you go to accept a hug, and then you feel about 4″ of steel
poke your insides from behind… I’d want to really get to
know her and visa-versa before I even consider it.
Never underestimate the little guys, we’re quick and MEAN!
Marise will have plenty to tell her father and the Prima Alpha.
Hmmm… mother-daughter or big-little sister maybe? They don’t
look like they are part of any group, but I have been wrong
more often than I like
I remember why I stored this keyboard, I have this urge to
start grunting “Ook Okk EEK!” and start bashing keys with
my knuckles! When I press one, it HAS to click or nothing
gets typed, but if I’m off the mark by the tiniest amount…
double or triple letters!
It’s the one that came with the system, the key strokes are intended for rapid
movement, but are too deep for touch-typing. Every key has a micro-switch
rather than a bubble/contact switch. There’s no way to adjust the force required
to activate the micro switches, I tried, trust me. I’ve had a similar issue back
when I had my car accident, I had at the time, an Atari 2600, and I wore out
many controllers, i took one apart and found out I had flattened the bubble
switches in the old controllers, so in order to have one that could handle
marathon game play, I had to find and buy one that used reed switches. I still
have it, and it STILL works!
What I meant by double or triple letters is like “erd” or “ghb”
not “eee” or “ggg” it’s completely mechanical, no way to shorten
the stroke required to activate it. So if I’m off by a bit, I hit 2-3
keys at once since the stroke is twice the depth of a normal
keyboard. So I have to be VERY careful of my aim and proofreading.
I’m sure he couldn’t be bothered to show respect by taking a knee
so he could look Harold in the eye without Harold having to bend
his neck way back. I’m sure he did after that!

Sure, I just need to know where.
I’ll use a stronger, better plastic,
I wouldn’t do it in PLA, I don’t
think you’d want to look back
there to see a sagging, warped
mess, it’s melts at 200c (425F),
but softens at 70c (150F) where
PETG melts at 230C and doesn’t
soften until 100C (212F)
Yeah, I printed a skull for my son with it, damn
thing was a blob when he went to leave for work.
He wailed “MY NEW TRUCK!” heh life happens kid…
I did help clean it off without ripping his dash…
I LOVE my heat gun!
Don’t try printing with PETG unless you have
a powder-coated PEI spring steel bed cover, PETG
sticks TOO well to glass or those soft plastic
magnetic bed covers that Ender loves so much.
And use glue stick, or you’ll have crashed prints.
I’m drying out a black roll right now
I have to replace the fan shroud
on my other printer. PETG sounds
like rice crispies if it’s “wet” and
prints like crap.
Okay, thanks. Looking at the third photo, up in the top left
corner there’s a square hole for a couple of USB 2.0 ports
which my motherboard doesn’t have. Can you modify the file
to fill that hole?
There’s lots of cool computer stuff on the 3D printing sites.
What’s the largest dimensions you can print?
220x220x240 on my ender and 220x220x250 on the sovol.
or 8.6×8.6×9.4 inches. I’m hoping to get a larger one
sometime soon, 300x300x350mm, that’s big enough to
printer bicycle helmets.
I’ll see what I can do with that cover plate, It’s a simple
filler block, but I want to make sure which hole you mean.
The hole next to the old PS/2 port?
Printables is my favorite site to look for stuff, but thingiverse has
the biggest library of print files. Thingiverse search engine sux.
I’ll just have to sit down and try to figure out how to setup a web
page, I’m sure my old one is long gone by now.
That way I can post pics of my work for anyone to see and if they
want to order stuff they’ll be able to find a new email address on it.
I bet it wouldn’t be too hard to build a pair of adjustable stilts for Harold,
hydraulic or magnetic lifts with controls on a belt, so he could reach rows
of controls and displays at human eye level. But I’d sound him out about
it ahead of time rather than surprise him with them. He seems a tad touchy.
But it would be handier and more efficient than making him carry a stool.
Just an FYI;
Went to the VA a couple of weeks ago and they found
a lymph node that was 16 millimeters in diameter.
The doctor took a biopsy last Monday, but suspects
my Pappilary Thyroid Cancer is still with me.
We should know more by next Wednesday.
I’ve finally got my print farm set up, my brother-in-law
has an idea with the shell novelty box, gun shows
might buy them, and I just finished an order for flexible
plastic hoods for those BLINK! security cams so the lens
don’t get as dirty. I might just have a business started!
GOOD GADS! I forgot what the huge mess it is to get hosting
for a website.
Too many claim they are “free,” until you get to the hosting
and then the cash register starts in….
Any suggests?
I don’t mind paying for web hosting, but I don’t want an expensive
provider if my business doesn’t take off. I just went to Hostinger,
it went from $.99 a month to $2.99 from the introduction page
and the signup page!
Good to see you back. We want you around for a long time.

Flea was introduced in TGW-755
an the torture was TGW-765
Thanks, I was going to look it up, but we had a storm blow
through and it trashed my internet, it was like back in the
old days of dialup! Just loading up TGW-700 took 15 mins.
I’d let her if SHE suggested it — and I was pretty sure she liked me.
Little and cute brings out the grandpa in me, psycho or not.
And I’m glad you’re back, PC, but don’t push yourself too hard.
We’d rather have you whole later than the alternative.
Yeah, and that’s the trap part, she’s all cute and innocent,
you go to accept a hug, and then you feel about 4″ of steel
poke your insides from behind… I’d want to really get to

Sorry I should have said Harold
is not short, he is compact.

Is there a setup routine for that keyboard?
Ought to be a way to adjust the key repeat function.
It’s the one that came with the system, the key strokes are intended for rapid
movement, but are too deep for touch-typing. Every key has a micro-switch
rather than a bubble/contact switch. There’s no way to adjust the force required

Good to see PC is feeling better.
The last guy that called Harold “Shorty”,
had a new nickname, “Stumpy”.
(sometimes I crack myself up)
I’m sure he couldn’t be bothered to show respect by taking a knee
so he could look Harold in the eye without Harold having to bend
his neck way back. I’m sure he did after that!
Harold looks like just the right size to get into
all the low tunnels & small back-behind spaces
that are built into any and every mechanical space.
“Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!”
“ALRIGHT! Alright, what do you need from me?”
I need one of these:
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3844026
Can you print it for me?
IF no one else can,, yes.
and what color? i have a
dozen to chose from
Sure, I just need to know where.
I’ll use a stronger, better plastic,
I wouldn’t do it in PLA, I don’t
think you’d want to look back

good point,, all i have is PLA..
Yeah, I printed a skull for my son with it, damn
thing was a blob when he went to leave for work.
He wailed “MY NEW TRUCK!” heh life happens kid…
I did help clean it off without ripping his dash…

sigh… SPRING steel!
I’m drying out a black roll right now
I have to replace the fan shroud
on my other printer. PETG sounds
like rice crispies if it’s “wet” and
prints like crap.
Just shoot me an email with the address to send it to
once it’s printed to my standards and I’ll get it in the mail
asap.

Ok I fixed the print file, and sliced it. I got the roll down to 12%
humidity, but I’d like it a bit lower before printing, 10% or less
is ideal.
I bet it wouldn’t be too hard to build a pair of adjustable stilts for Harold,
hydraulic or magnetic lifts with controls on a belt, so he could reach rows
of controls and displays at human eye level. But I’d sound him out about
it ahead of time rather than surprise him with them. He seems a tad touchy.
But it would be handier and more efficient than making him carry a stool.
The bottom of the silts would need a gav unit built in or the first
time he was fully extended and the ship had to maneuver…
Flea sitting down to greet the newcomers should give them a good
bit of false security, even if they are aware of the others.
>and you all get along?
>not always
Heck the same species, even family, does not always get along.
But we can work on it :}
Going back and re-reading the origin of Flea…..
BTW, how IS Flea’s little sister?
Normal little girl in a normal family.
I just got the name Doc Rat.
reminds me of another webcomic with the same name.

Glad you feeling better PC. Keep up the good work.
Only way I’d call Harold “Shorty” is if I was a close friend and
he had his own nickname for me. Other wise I might call
him Harry.

Oh joy…
AW crap man. Sorry to hear that.
so sorry to hear.!
an Good Luck.!
Crap. Sorry to hear, it never goes away
does it.
I know I’ve been lucky, I just wish every-
one was.
Crap! Sorry to hear. What’s the treatment?
I’ve finally got my print farm set up, my brother-in-law

as of 20:00 word press is down (spam bot apparently)
so no update…
