I know I'm a better engineer than electrician.....

Simply looks like a missing cover.

I'm now reading through Neil's book.

Quite a good read!

All the thread info you could need

This a very good source.

Nonsense

Andrew, I just had to have a go with my Aldi printer!

I drew up the same 25mm square with .4mm walls.

My Cura slicer (3.4.1, I'm happy with this version and have resisted updating), would not print the walls (I checked the layers, before printing).

I tried your tip of 0.39 wall and it worked! I have a wall of 0.4 to 0.5 thickness. Quite impressive for a printer that cost £150 (this one is Aldi's black Friday sale one, my other was full price).Printed with PLA filament (cheap stuff- see below)

I have found that filament is the biggest factor in getting good prints. I have bought some packs of 25 different colour samples of PLA (10M long, so good for most prints) and not had any problems. Some filament from 3DQF was that bad it went in the bin. I can recommend 3Dfilaprint for good quality PLA.

I didn't know about it either!

On order now

Andrew, I have ran a rear toolpost on my SC4 for years. I'll sort a picture later.

I mainly used it for a production job, needing two tools.

Axminster do give a 3 year guarantee (parts and labour).

I 3D printed mine.

When I got my Chester H110 bandsaw, I had a lot of problems with the blade jumping off. The cause turned out to be the guide bearings!

3 out of 6 collapsed within 3 months, since then I have had no trouble at all!

I've ended up with a metric and imperial set.

A slip gauge accessory set is very worthwhile addition, as it turns the slips into an extremely versatile measuring tool.

Well worthwhile investing.

Robin, 333mm is a pack of 5.

Some smaller sizes are for packs of 25.

Clearly a scam. Much like the ads on Instagram!

I get my threading inserts from HERE

Volvo don't recommend an oil change, unless used as a taxi......

I've been driving automatics for 30 years.

Modern auto boxes are quite amazing.

Why anyone would want to have to mess around with gears is a mystery to me......

Jim

I have very good results with that same stuff from ebay.

I really wouldn't bother making my own!
