Tape, cable ties ... amateur! 😉 Pros use silicon ... 😇

I can report the later model with planetary gear is horrible too. I’m truly disappointed that something Swiss-made is so bad

Probably 3 years too late but for the cement in the door area how about weaving fibre glass into it? It look at the oven gaskets (Kamintürdichtung) - edit: never mind. Thats what I get for commenting half way through the video!

for me 1st try was ok . 4 dabs of silicone on the frame and cut the knob to lenght 😊

The camera will correct the sensitivity to what it sees to an average of 18% gray (even with the filter). When you have a small bright spot surrounded with a large dark area, everything will be 'made' lighter. Dark area become gray, the bright spot much too bright (overexposed). Because the camera average the lighting. (Opposite: a small black object on a bright white surface: the camera will underexpose it. No detail of the black object is visible anymore and the white surface becomes grayer.) Use a manual setting instead of automatic, tune the balance and you will notice the difference. Good luck!, Greetings

28:02 MMA is acrylic glass

So proud of you!

Insulating tape works fine for temporary solutions but in mid range it turns one of the following: simple plastic tape which peels off, sticky ectoplasm makes everything nasty what touches. However I got the joke.😊

Trivia. My mentor visiting a major Japanese manufacturing plant in Japan in the early 1950s that made gears. The entire factory was two buildings. One equipped with several dozen carbide cutting torches and steel stock. The second a vast warehouse lined with work benches over 100 feet long. About 200 work stations each equipped with files, templates and a vice. That was it. Torches, files and vices, the entire set of tools.

I’ll definitely get the helmet. Mine is terrible

Fantastic work on that bench! 🙂

for mig welding, is your wire polarity ok? flux core, mig or tig might need different polarity. that would explain the spatters.

Short and sweet. Thanks for keeping the fluff to a minimum. It's also fun to see the 3D printing design iterations in a welding and photograph video.

Nice widget 😀

nicw job on the side project! love seeing what your up to now and again! keep it up! also, your ark captain affiliate i think is cool bc they say your honest reveiw and liked it, and so did i

At 8:50, if the MIG wire touches the puddle, isn't that called "Short Circuit MIG"? Shouldn't you limit SC-MIG to thin sheet metal and the like? Can you turn up your voltage for your heavier plate welding projects? Thanks for this video and project idea!

its slightly to dark when welding

Does a shop really need one very heavy duty ultra rigid vice for every operation? If the shop has a lot of vice use requirements it has a vice bench with three or more vices. One moveable front, one rear, and a heavy duty version of a sliding bar clamp. The bar clamp is moveable front jaw with the cam lock on the rear. Much faster to clamp and far easier to operate. Ideal for light to medium duty repetition operations. A fourth type of vice as seen on Made In Poland channel is pneumatic with a foot pedal to operate. Full hands free clamping.

I have only ever used CO2 & Argon. The CO2 seems a bit better than Flux Core wire. Nice recording setup!

Thanks for doing that so we can see the weld puddle, very much appreciated!

lovely

Great video and nice project as always!!

jeah, why not just print a new knob ^^

Use anti splatter spray, so blobs dont stick

Looks good, about as good as I have seen with a homebrew setup. Timwelds did some slow motion footage with a pretty expensive setup, but the results were awesome kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5ivk5-af6uSmsU

Great outcome! Funny that I've never considered using tie-wraps for retention like that, and it's a nice quick and easy solution. Way easier than the snap features I've been experimenting with recently, so definitely think I'll be using that in future 3d prints.

I always work in a circular moition when welding, it drags the puddle.

Really cool! It will be intresting to see how well the PLA will hold up to the UV!

I find florescent lighting tends to trigger my auto darkener

instead of plastic you can use glass protective sheets for smartphone screens.

It is interesting that you have this splattery mess of mig. I also use mig with only with Co2, the difference is that I use a big bottle and my welds aro not nearly as splattery. Cheers from Austia-Koroška slovenia

Possibly the best welding footage I've ever seen. Impressive.

And just when you are ready, your wife tells you : we are moving out, I found a better home... 😉

nice job. I find welding very similar to marksmanship, as far as learning and maintaining the skill. For me, after getting the basics down, it's really about living in the moment, concentrating on breathing, and enjoying the experience. I find it very calming, so I agree with your music choice during the welding montages. You know there is the physical effort required to keep a steady sight picture and just the repetition of keeping everything lined up and moving along. Happy Sunday and Enjoy the journey! Thx for posting the great videos! Remember to breath!

Looks good. About the only way I can think to improve the image is a very bright flood light, to bring the rest of the image a little closer to the brightness of the arc.

I'm not convinced you really can tune 3d printed holes coming out undersized. Like it's just the result of the concave and enclosed plastic features shrinking as they cool. Any kind of software solution would probably have to be in the clever simulation realm and add alot of time to the slicing... but it's not too much of a hassle to just to manually add a percentage to the hole diameters in CAD, estimated through intuition and gumption, and manually clean up the ones you got slightly wrong.

Don't weld in a puddle! You'll get zapped

Funny that Arccaptain should be promoting their products in the EU when they don't have any local sales partners. And even if they did, we UK punters would get further crucified due to our dumb, self-inflicted Brexit idiocy. Importing from the US would surely result in zero warranty. Hopefully they are working on EU / UK sales channels.

4th weld was the nicest because the base metal temp increased with each weld allowing the cold settings to work better. Increase your volts and slow down on your travel speed.

Very resourceful! 👍

it might sound silly but when you're filming the welding could you try adding more lighting (like excessive light levels) so the difference between arc on and off are closer, to make the contrast even out a bit.

for slight mods maybe a 3D (printing) pen would be ideal, like channel Sanago (korea)

1:38 PrusaSlicer can open *.STEP files. In my opinion, the entire community should unite together to stop using the *.STL format and ban it forever.

Jeez, I wish my eyes could see the weld puddle as well as the camera can. Then maybe my welds would looks less like a blind monkey on a merry-go-round was holding the gun.

Mark, thanks for shot of the HPSOV/PRSOV, p/n 3215302. We designed and qualified this valve back in the early ‘90s for use on all three B777 engine variants. I can still remember very long hours performing analysis and many late nights conducting qualification testing. Hope it is still performing well. 👍😎👍

It looks like theres controls for sensitivity and delay on the auto darkening lens. Try lowering the sensitivity and increasing the delay and see if that helps.

Hey just fyi: the arccaptain links seem to not be working. I get a nice 404 page from them...

You can't beat a good widget.😊

Grate video! that looks like it works good:)

I'm no expert but the camera settings could be tweaked to get that looking just as it does to the welder. Nice job.
