What an inventive approach! I have the 3d printer and a need for threaded dowel, so I definitely will try this out. Thanks for this instructable.

If you are designing a respirator for medical use for the Corona virus, the filter media has to be "N95" rated or better. You can Google respirator see the standards for particulate filtering. There are several respirator designs on Thingverse meant to be 3d printed, but these also require "N95" filtering material. When I was looking to cost out "N95" rated filter media, I was really shocked to see the current prices... a little gouging going on here. I have an old box of "N95" rated masks, from several years ago. It cost $13.95 Cdn for 50 masks. At the time I bought these for wood working the marked down price was about $6 Cdn.

REALLY GREAT Instructable, also a beautiful design well implemented with great skill. Excellent!!!!! I am in awe

Quite a nice instructable. I will definitely try this out. Thanks and well done

This a very nice piece of work and well carried out. Excellent and congratulations

MarkU33: The deck you have made looks super, congratulations on a fine job. Glad the instructable was useful to you.

Regardless of the criticism, you have a neat and simple approach to manually levelling the bed. Good thinking! Keep developing your idea

Ingenious approach. I use plastic mini drawers with cardboard separators, but as you point out, what about surplus pieces? Your approach is very flexible

Really excellent design, well done. Never thought of carpet tiles as being used as "mosaic" material

Based on my lack of capability handling m3 screws and nuts, thanks for a great soln

Thank you Joe! This a great and practical instructable. I am certainly going to remember it and use it when I have to drill an unusual size circle

WOW!!!!!

Really nice instructable, with lots of nice tips. I bought an Anet a8 about 6 months ago and after many builds, teardowns, and modifications, similar to those you have written about, I am getting good results. You have written a great guide for someone just buying an Anet, and I only wish there was a guide similar to this when I started! Great job.

What a great project! Great design, you are a true "think outside the box'er." The extra touch of the back legs moving is excellent. Congratulations on a beautiful design well carried out.

Excellent instructable. Never thought to try your project container; really inventive.

Very, very nice! Your description of the process is excellent and the results testify to your craftsmanship.

Just recently bought an Anet a8 3d printer kit. Your instructable is an inspiration to me and a prod to try your technique out. Thanks for an a well written and entertainingtutorial. Well done!

Well designed, well done and very well described.

Very nice project! As you said, "don't throw any electronic device away." Great ingenuity here and nicely carried out. Good luck in the contest

This is great project with a lot potential for items beyond your broach ( which is quite attractive.) I especially loved your image of "required materials." you are clearly inventive and thorough! Might just make one for my wife for Mother's Day. Nice job and an excellent instructable. My personal thanks.

Beautiful! A personal thanks for reminding me that skill like this lives on

Hi Rudy, I am not sure what joist you are referring to. If you are referring to the end joists, they are shown in step 10 with the cut angles shown in step 9. If you are referring to the joists meeting in the center post, they are held down by the clamping screw and braced into a lattice with the cross members, as shown in step13.Regardless, if I don't quite get your question, please ask again.

Good instructable. We have a stair case I would like to light up pretty much as you have done. It is a real hazard at night. I actually count stairs to keep out of trouble. So a personal thanks for your effort

An eye opening instructable. You clearly have a lot of skill an experience. I am certainly going to do some plastic welding after this! Great job, well planned, beautifully carried out. My personal thanks for great tutorial

As I said I enjoyed your instructable both for style and content. My comment was in fun and in no way was meant to be a downer. You certainly demonstrated quite a number of skills in your solution. Myself, I troll all the instructables for new and interesting ways to do things, and I happily agree that you met this criteria.

Hi, I like your instructable, both for the humour and the great explanations, but in a humorous way, can I ask why you didn't base your project on a simple 1mm to 1cm internal diameter plastic tube, tapped into the base of the 1.5 metre high tank and attached to the side of the tank? Steam punky I know, but..All in good fun, your instructable is really excellent

A very nice project. The instructable is excellent, eliminating the need to go to some reference, or other instructable to learn a skill. I think this is important since it is unusual for a referenced piece to cover the specifics that you use in your project. Congratulations and my personal thanks. I would like to emulate your project

Sure here are 3 from today, Monday Jan 15 at about 6:30 pm EDT.Again, I am not opposed to the practice, rather that these instructables be is different class or at least be clearly identified as from a marketer or promoter of the product. Honesty is advertising right?EISE4 Project : Learn How to Realize a Voice Modulation Devicehttps://www.instructables.com/EISE4-Project-Learn-How-to-Realize-a-Voice-Modulat/Autotunehttps://www.instructables.com/Autotune/Remote Temperature Monitoringhttps://www.instructables.com/Remote-Temperature-Monitoring/

As I commented, I don't object to this practice, provided the instructable in fact does uniquely solve a problem and is clearly ID'ed as an advertisement. My objection is that many "marketing instructables" are flying under a false flag and are not clearly identified. What I am asking for is a clear identification of intent or even a special class of instructable. As a paying user of Instructables, I am looking for new ideas and concepts and | am usually quite disappointed when the instructable is in fact trying to sell something. There are innumerable ways you can advertise your product, without writing an instructable, but if you feel it is a good way, be honest about your intent. As a senior marketer, I am sure you agree with the concept of honesty in advertising.

A great idea, well described. I absolutely hate dealing with my hot iron stand. I am going to try you idea. A personal thanks

Excellent, I am definitely going to build this. Many thanks

Nice and timely instructable. since I want to do something similar. Your project was nicely laid out and easy to follow. Nice job. Many thanks

I am trying to nice and to be constructive, BUT, even your response is basically a jumble of unexplained acronyms In My world, few, if any of your acronyms are "standard." Perhaps you might consider communicating to those not in your world. 40 years in the electronic and computer world have allowed me to see a number of standard electronic terms, so I am not buying your argument, but what the heck, if your intended audience is fully conversant with your techie speech, who am I to complain? Just don't expect me, and other ill informed louts to be buy your product...1st rule of selling....little words for big pocket customers, techie speech may dazzle friends but doesn't put bread on the table.Hope my suggestion as such keeps from being labelled as an IIFOG,(acronym for Ill Info…

Looks like an interesting instructable, BUT I can's and won't wade through this string of acronyms. I apologize for this negative comment but jeez looweez, please explain you acronyms as you use them.

Just saw this instructable (Nov 27). Very nice, well described and very well implemented. In other words GREAT JOB!!! Thanks personally, since I learned a lot and hope to emulate some of your work.

very inventive

Very nice build, or more correctly a lovely carving of metal. You clearly have a lot of experience. Very entertaining as well as instructive. My personal thanks

Nice instructable, good info. My personal thanks

This is a nice instructable and a wake up call to look at Tesla and simple coils for power transfer. Could you describe how you arrived at the coil sizes and number of windings.? It certainly looks like a better solution than slip rings. Thanks

Very nice. The animatronic eye mechanism is really excellent.

Very nice.

Terrific project, well documented instructable. I really, realy want to do this and have been looking at dome web pages for several years, but always lacked the guts to try. Your instructable has lit up the desire to do it! My personal thanks, great job

WOW!

hey iceng, sorry for the delay in responding. You got me! dimensional items are sometimes acronyms. You could say I am Hz (Hertz) by your poem. However you floored me with mohs , which I looked up:Moh (Sanskrit muh: “to become stupefied, to be bewildered or perplexed, to err, to be mistaken”) stands in ancient texts for perplexity or confusion as also for the cause of confusion)Ironic what? I do understand that you meant to type Mhos or conductance, which in my opinion is also a joke from the past and a play on Ohm

Excellent tip! I have many salvaged motors and this will be of great help. Well done

Hi, thanks for your thoughtful comment. Having swam in waters rich with acronyms for many years, I agree that when writing for people that share your background, acronyms are quite necessary. However, when writing an instructable, you are most likely not writing to an audience with your background. In my own situation, I read instructables that vary from cooking to Arduino applications, to mold making, to woodworking, paper folding and on and on! I don't think that I am unique here. When I come across an acronym, I open a second window and use Google to search on the acronym, BUT when I come across an instructable entitled something like, "using the drk app on the xyz module to implement baffle gab when ironing shirts", I don't even look! Too little time, so many other interesti…

What a great instructable! Well illustrated, well written, and one GIGANTIC effort on your part. I see in the comments that this is your first motor rewind, which serves to emphasize your courage. I don't intend to try this, but it reminds me of electrical class in high school in the dark ages of the 50's...Well done sir!!

Lovely piece of work! I held my breath watching you clamp some of those triangular pieces together edge to edge, but it turned out very well. I also admired your band saw jig. A nice instructable, clean, well described excellent video and pictures.

Nice design and build.

What a great way to have fun on the water! Great idea, nicely carried out. Leaking, imbalance, wet feet etc... who cares!!! You guys clearly had a great time. Do it again!

Really nice video. It's quite enjoyable to see these hand methods being used. I would think that you would make a fine carver. Thanks, I will definitely watch for your instructables from now on!

My wife thanks you for this instructable!

Perhaps your instructable should have covered "cayenne."

Really nice thinking! Your reuse of materials is laudable. So many of us old guys born in the depression of the 30's have forgotten the skill we once had to reuse EVERYTHING! Thanks for the reminder, and congratulations on a fine instructable

Really nice instructable, and quite well thought out. Congratulations

Very nice instructable! Congratulations, it was clear, concise and complete. I will try this for sure.

Nicely done, and excellent instructable. I would love to try this if I can find a source of inexpensive stones.

Nice job! I guess this is as good a project as one would need to justify buying a 3d printer.

Impeccable skill, and a great instructable

I like this. Out of the mouths of children... and so on. You can't beat his logic. Nice instructabel

My personal thanks for an excellent tutorial on a job I badly need to tackle.

This is an wonderful example of out the box thinking! Nice work
