My oven only goes down to 170F. Is there any DIY way to dry out PETG or is a dehydrator/dry box my only way?

drybox is the cheapest option, you can get bulk dehydration pellets off amazon for cheap, and then re-dehydrate them in the oven.

edit: this video helped me with the choice

Finally started printing pegboard organizers for my workshop. This shit is way more convenient than actually buying stuff that only sorta works from Lowes.

Now I got both the CR10 and the Ender 3 spoolin' out new shit at the same time.

I feel all fancy. In my pants.

I need to do this.
Design your own, or downloads?

It was on thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3230616

It doesn't hold my largest screwdriver, but I think I'll live.

Also @Mr. Argumentor, if you've got loads of Craftsman ratchets like I do, these are perfect: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2802601

That is actually cool... Dumbass.

Wait why is your pegboard around a panel.

Now I've nearly got my socket drawer tamed. Just need to make a tray for extensions and a flat 3/8" drive tray for my weird sockets (wobble, torx, short allen, spark plug, and O2 sensor).

I like those, but I liked these better for extensions (especially because I have 3 36" extensions, which are too large for a tray-type organizer): https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4419966

Ooooo I love toolbox shit. Unfortunately carpenters always need clamp space cause you end up with like 6 ft bar clamps.

I loved my toolbox for gun stuff. Which was stolen. Kennedey box with armstrong smol tools and my micrometers and go no go gauges >.<

Electrical stuff was more thrown together, we basically couldn't carry more than lineman's and a flathead in backpockets. It was super annoying not to be allowed to wear a toolbelt. Couple people had toolbags but meh...

Sucks that you think 3d printers are useless.

Needs some magnets, and I think I'm going to have to reorganize the sockets, maybe do an SAE drawer and a metric drawer.

From now on you're gonna have to call that the dildo drawer, 'cause of all the dildos in it

I'm getting ready to have my roof replaced on the 28th, and circumstances and schedules have dictated that I am doing the R&R on my solar PV array.

So, I made the MC4 key out of ABS to safely disconnect the connectors.



Hopefully I can safely disconnect them without breaking things. They've been up there since 2016, so I don't have a lot of hope, and will probably order some spare MC4 connectors just to have on hand.

BTW, I ended up ordering a 10 pack of filament from these guys and the stuff prints great. Helluva deal for $12/spool.

Made some drill bushings to try and center up a drill on the dowel pins on the GTO's motor with a right angle 3/16" drill. Right angle drill not pictured, as it's currently at my folks' house with the Pontiac.
