Buyer beware!

Buyer beware!

This system: https://www.printables.com/model/152592-honeycomb-storage-wall I have started to print some of this for my garage for small odds and ends, glue bottles etc. I may go for a fairly decent size setup. It seems like there is alot of customised options for it. Is anyone here using it?

Ok, I thought It could be fun/interesting to mention the things you've acquired. I don't mean bought but the items you've found/salvaged/bartered for or liberated. And perhaps your ideas if you have plans for them. I'll go first then. Today work threw out a walk behind sweep machine that was utter rubbish from the day we got it. From this I've got some wheels, a hefty 12v battery thats probably toast, the smart charger off it (decent) and a 12v motor. There was also one of those spinning... Read more

Anyone like to make any recommendations? For quite a while, we've been buying an M&S pizza - very nice if a bit expensive.... but they've changed it and not quite so good now. I picked one up at random during a flying visit to Tesco - terrible! Certainly don't live on pizzas, but there are times when (a good one) ticks a box. Too far out of town to get deliveries.

so im looking at multi filament printers now. i will also likely keep my flashforge a5m for prototyping and single colour stuff. i was lookign at the flashforge ad5x, 4 filament machine. the benefit being i already have flash studio so could simply add it to the devices page and away we go. im familiar with the slicer now and i know all the little quirks of the flash forge... but browsing ebay and i see i can get a centauri carbon 2 combo for 20 quid less...also a 4 filament printer...

Saw this on the bay of flees, for a reasonable price, contacted the guy telling him I wanted a van for my daughter and he advised me to make a lower offer as he didn’t want her stitched up, quite refreshing I thought. Drove from South Wales to Devon on Saturday, swinging by Gordano services to pick up a T5 single Kombi rear seat for my lads T4 and viewed this old girl. Not that good but it’s all there and ironically doesn’t look bad underneath. A deal was done and I had it collected... Read more

Hello all Paul Here from Dorset. Thought I would save myself a few pounds and do some welding on my motorhome myself after deciding not to get a newer one with all censers and DPF that seam to give grief. Ive read and followed the tutorial on MIG welding and got myself the basic kit. (Glad I joined the forum before throwing money at everything) I will be posting shortly as I am already tying myself in knots. I am a chippy by trade so practically minded. Doing the basics in my garage has been... Read more

Spotted this on another forum and thought it would be a very apt topic for here. I'm skint so sadly can't start us off with an example. I'm sure though we can be very supportive and encouraging of anyone wanting to speak up.
