If it is plastic I wouldn't use epoxy or JB weld, depending on the plastic I would use a plastic specific CA glue like Loctite 422 with a surface activator like Loctite® Primer 7701. I have also had insanely good performance with E6000 on plastic repairs if you can't find a supplier for the...

I've been there hand soldering SMDs, I generally use a microscope to do it. Key with PETG depending on the slicer you are using is to have it slow down on overhangs, bump up the fan a little, and spend some time dialing in the support density. I try to design to avoid the use of support at...

Looks solid, which oxygen sensor are you using? CR123 is a solid choice. ADS1115 is also a great choice, especially with how easy arduino and I2C get along. Looks like a silk PLA print? I would be a little careful with PLA and particularly silk PLA with any possible hard use or elevated...

My parents did a three week scuba diving trip as their honeymoon. I could only talk my wife into one week of our honeymoon for diving but we had an amazing time. My father and I dove on the weekend together actually, he is still my main dive buddy.

I wouldn't put anything with lanolin near rubber seals. I have a bit of a story here, I was trying to keep the interior of my aluminum bike rims from corroding from winter road salt and tried a few products. I kept getting random flats. Turns out the lanolin in the anti-corrosion coating after...

Dacor stuff is super old, yeah. I actually have a dacor pacer first stage reg sitting on my bench right now and my wrist mount compass I pulled from my mother's old three gauge console. I am assuming you have the computer console on hand now? Could you take some photos of how the compass mounts?

I could theoretically 3d print you a new one with some TPU bit I would probably need the physical computer in my hands to get all the right fitment and measurements and it would be quite a lot of time given it is a one-off. If you post some photos of where it is supposed to mount and how it...

Caswell plating has a good online resource for doing it. I have also messed around with painting aluminum. I used alodine to create a good surface to put the paint onto. I then used some rattle can tremclad primer and pain and baked it between coats and after it was done to make the finish...

If you are open to a 3d printed buckle I can see if I can whip something up. Potentially if that worked out I could make one out of stainless, but that would be a hell of a one-off. Given the mass of a small cylinder I think a good quality PETG composite or coated nylon print would stand up...

Hmm, I've never been. That might be worth a drive up compared to some of the other local holes. Thanks for the post!

I am interested, especially if it converts to DIN relatively easily, I assume Jim is still around.... I am Canadian but I have a US address I can ship to. I will send you a DM

Cool, I will send you a PM, I miss Dave too.

So, I did my masters designing fuel cell CO sensors mainly working off Figaro sensors as a baseline. Those sensors are pretty tough and stable, especially the larger battery looking ones which use an alkaline fuel cell design. Gist of it is that for those that want to DIY one I have a super...

I tried contacting the usual guys and got nothing, anyone know if Martin and Derek are still in the area?

I mean we can infer from the absorbtion chart, lol

Sad, I enjoyed his stories. Hopefully the shop keeps kicking.

Damn. It is such a small community, it is rough when we lose someone.

I just saw a news story about a diver missing near humber bay park. Does anyone have any additional information on this? The news story doesn't give a name or age. Toronto Police Service's marine unit continues search for missing scuba diver

I went out with Mississauga Diving Services a few years ago. Don't do that. It was a horrible experience. Basically it was so disorganized everyone's gear froze. I ended up sitting on the hole as a "Safety Diver" for about an hour. Well, just like every person before me my (Mk.17) regs...

It is sad to hear about Ducks although I cannot blame her for closing up. I remember the husband being more than a little friendly with the booze the whole time we were there.
