Howdy r/beetle

My '71 sat for the last two years because I was finishing up school, and then immediately got laid off after graduation. A year ago last week I got hired at a new company and after a year of paying down debts, I finally have a parts budget. In the last 6 months, I've bought:

• Pertronix SVDA distributor

• 3 ohm Pertronix ignition canister

• New (Solex from CBPerformance) 31 PICT3 to replace the 34 that was falling apart on me

I installed everything last week...however it was not running at the time of installation. As such, I tried the instructions that were given - crank it to TDC, do the swap, and hopefully everything comes out running. Just my luck, it didn't. So I'

Heya,

I bought the upgraded tempered glass bed that adheres while heated and it worked fine for a few prints, but all of a sudden my prints aren't sticking well. For some reason my supports don't seem to stick enough (I've gotten the bed levelled pretty well), and as such some of my trickier prints are straight up failing all of a sudden. I ordered some isopropyl alcohol (was using rubbing alcohol) because I think it got some oil from my skin on it. But, I'm wondering if there's a proper temperature it should be at? Does it need to be hotter or cooler than 60?

The bed used to be super sticky to the Hatchbox PLA I use, but now it's pretty iffy.

Also what do you guys use to clean it off

Specifically I'm looking for a way to reduce how much the printer attaches the support structure to the print. Mine are sticking a little too well, and as such are a pain in the ass to separate. My coworker's CR-10 handles the support structures much better, so I know that mine should be much easier to deal with.

I see some settings in Cura but I'm a little confused on what I should be reducing. I'm fine with how much structure it prints, I just want to greatly reduce the contact points between the structures and the print itself.

Otherwise, I've got the printer fairly well dialed in and am very pleased.

CURA doesn't seem to have an entry for the Ender 3, and I was wondering if anyone could share some of their configs with me. As is, I entered as much as I could, but the instructions were for an old version of CURA and I couldn't find much of the settings.

As is..it...works? I've successfully printed a thing, but it didn't come out great. I'm hoping it's because the PLA it came with sucked, I'm currently printing a second thing (speaker dock for my phone), and this one looks like it's coming out better, but there's still far too many imperfections for my taste. My coworker has a different Creality printer (same manufacturer) and his is damn near flawless despite not being one of the top end

It's not undrinkable, you can pour it into a cup and just drink it, but it's just awful. Totally filled with caulk calcium and many other kinds of sediment.

So my question, r/coffee, is what do? Are there any filters you guys can recommend, or should I be purchasing water somewhere else?

I don't mind keeping a container of nicer water in the fridge and restocking that, but as a Californian, I'd much rather have a nice filter setup in my house to make it as I need it than use disposable containers.

I bought a used Galaxy SIII at a flea market yesterday for $15. It boots up into a lock screen fine, so I know it's working. However, it's the Sprint version so I'm not sure if I have a i9305 or the i747m version in my hands.

The wiki has thorough setup instructions for the i9305 but not the i747m so I'm not really sure what to do if it's the i747m model.

Sorry for posting such a dumb question - it's been a long time since I've played around with the Galaxy SIII since mine has been dead for years.

I don't know why but I'm feeling kind of nostalgic for that half-assed crap beer and I'm curious if anyone would know where I could find it. It's popular in Switzerland and I saw it a few times in Germany, so I'm curious if it's available out here.

I've not found much in the way of actual documentation on how ambient light levels affect tracking performance. My room has 4 walls, and two of those walls have windows that get sun all day due to the room facing south. So, I'm curious as to how much ambient lighting affects tracking performance.

In my purely anecdotal experience, I've not noted any significant difference between lights off/blinds closed, lights on/blinds closed, lights on/blinds open, lights off/blinds open. I'm curious:

Does anyone else have anything to chime in? As far as I can tell it doesn't make a difference, but I've had people in the past claim it does.

And now my computer doesn't recognize that drive as a drive anymore - it just shows up as "USB Storage".

What do?

For reference, the drive is a Samsung 850 Evo 128GB drive and I was running Solus with the LVM/LUKS setup checked - all defaults.

I've really not had any experience with encrypted drives so I have no idea how they work or how to get my data back.

Heya,

So I'm looking for a good app that can help me learn the top most frequently used German words. I have a few vocab lists, but I don't exactly want to be memorizing them from top to bottom - rather they're better for checking to make sure I know the words.

Anyways, what do you guys recommend for a "Word of the Day" application - just something that pulls a random word from the most common/used German words. I don't want random or obscure words, I'm looking to expand my vocabulary for every day German.
