Nice, great job! This is one of those things that is really cool as a DIY project. Thanks also for posting the code. I feel like without it a lot of people wouldn't attempt this.

Iron is not what I am worried about. When the metal and paint break down it will in the form of usually lead, lead oxide or some sort of iron oxide. Thats what I am worried about.

I have been using this printer for 1.5 yrs at work straight, printing something almost everyday. Some of ur issues seems to be a lack of supports (not the really flat angled ones, those will never turn out right). But none of ur parts should have that weird etching where u can see where the resin was zapped. For this machine ur best prints should be the higher angled one.

China has a huge issue with air pollution so a lot of people in large cities wear masks to filter out toxins. You mentioned storing it in your pocket. Have you tried comparing data from keeping it in your pocket vs carrying it outside? I think your clothes might act as a small filter for certain particles.

Nice!
View Instructable »I feel like the a lot of these projects can be customization to ones needs. Point is that this is a cool pouch to hold stuff in. At the point where one needs a pouch to hold all the tools that you are talking about it would make more sense to get a tool chest.

it will run but most likely not as well. Windows 10 has a lot of junk that is not needed and some of it is always running in the background. I personally uninstalled the root files for cortana and windows anti-malware scanning thing. There are a few different blogs that can detail tips on how to speed up a PC. A few quick things are: -check to see what programs run on start up. Go to task manager and click on the startup tab. for example: Adobe update installer doesnt need to run everytime I boot my PC up, but I would like to the audio drivers working.-disc defrag-disc clean up (careful this will delete files that may or may not be wanted such as cookies or the downloads folder, passwords, etc. You can cherry pick what will survive the purge though)-delete unwanted or unused files.

I did this a few months ago because my 6 yr old college laptop was falling apart and I needed something to carry around day to day. I do have a few suggestions but other wise you did a good job on this instructable: A+!!!!First: Max out that RAM. 2gb is great but research the mother board ur PC is using and max it out. I am did this with a T61 which came with 2gb, but the board can manage 4gb. One can tell the difference.Second: I suggest Lubuntu. Its a flavor of Ubuntu but designed for low impact and not to bother with any windows OS for older computers.Third: I have re-imaged my newer computer once a yr to keep it healthy, but have never once encountered it picking up the product key from the mother board. Not sure how new of a feature this is or what manfuactore.
View Instructable »Are you talking about the product key for the original windows softare? If so, in short No. The PC when originally bought comes with a re-install disc (with code printed on the envelope) for the the windows XP OS. Ubuntu doesnt need a product key since it is an open source/ free OS. I posted in another comment thread the I don't personally suggest the main stream Ubuntu, rather its flavor called Lubunut. It is a lighter version of Ubuntu, but a little harder to work with in some regards. Funny thing is I did this project a few months ago to use as a school computer since my college laptop is 6 yrs old and falling apart at the bolts from carrying it around every day.

thanks grey for properly loading the 2x4's that actually hold of the bed. That whole bending moment is a thing. People design them so they easily warp and break. Dangerous for any kitties or puppys chilling underbed.

Also put the mold in a pressure chamber during curing works. Epoxy and urethane don’t really vacuum degas. That works best with silicon
View Instructable »So how did u prevent the Epoxy from getting into the USB? Every time I try the resin wicks into the USB and blocks the pins. I’ve been using clay but cleaning out the usb after words is a real time consuming pain. Also try using vent holes where ur dip was. I push resin through until it fills the air hole and leaks out. Little post work needs done but no dips. Aka slicing off the extra

MP depends on the purity of the HPDE. Number 2 recyclable HDPE is pretty high grade. Off hand gases did pose anything alarming (just make sure your melting HPDE and not PVC :) ). Just buy a toaster oven that you use just for crafting and not food.
View Instructable »If you get it to a pure liquid point, its probably close to combusting. I use HPDE as rocket fuel and its ridiculous hard to cast. Those bottle you see hard use with injection molds at very controlled, hot and high pressured envireoments.

So no generating heat, dissipate energy
Resistors generate dissipate energy from the system by heating up, so using multiple resistors is better practice than one resistor that could generate so much heat you might have problems later. And LEDS are super super easy to burn out.......
