P1S is an absolute workhorse. Back in the ender days I couldn't release models like this because the accuracy just wasn't there. When I tried I just got complaints from people because their machines were out of tolerance compared to mine for things that required this degree of accuracy.
Nowadays thanks to bambu here is a fully documented satellite tracker build to download your own weather images.
Quite pleased with how it's looking. Been working on this in my spare time for about 6 years now.
This is the fourth version of my Trimax class 3D printed autonomous navigating RC boat.
V3 was ready for long range trials, but everybody said it looked like a submarine. So I completely redesigned the centre hull into V4 above!... Longer, pointier, 20% lighter, and most importantly, it doesn't look as much like a submarine anymore ha.
​
So in 2023 I got an AdBlue delete done because I was getting the adblue injector warning and the countdown. Had the injector cleaned and then had it replaced but couldn't clear the warning so the garage did a delete instead and it's been fine up until about a month ago.
​
I now get this warning coming up with the AdBlue orange light on the dash saying 1,700 miles until no start, but only appears for a second or two and then it disappears again. Sometimes it returns in a minute, sometimes it doesn't return for half an hour or an hour, but on average it flashes up randomly timed around every few minutes.
​
Got my MOT due soon and I'm assuming that's going to be a failure and maybe even a massive headache?
​
Any thoughts on what's happening here and potential solutions?

Van is a 1.5 manual diesel with 100k miles.
Idk what I did to deserve it, but every single person who walks up to me when I go to put it in the water asks if it's a submarine 😭😭😭😭😂😂😂
So the story is this old woman walked out of a corner shop, opened her pack of cigarettes and threw the plastic wrapping on the ground.
It blew directly in my path while I was walking my 3-year-old girl to nursery, so I picked it up and put it in the bin the old lady was now leaning against smoking a cigarette
She said "sorry did I drop that, are you the guy who comes around and picks up the rubbish?" She said it in a nice tone.
I replied saying "no, I just don't like litter" in a tone matching her politeness.
Then she told me to "fuck off back to England". To which I said, in some shock, "why would I go there, I'm French" and carried on walking. 🤐😬😂
It was quite funny. Think she might have felt a little bit called out for using the world as a bin. In her defence though I do sound pretty English, despite moving from France to Glasgow 20 years ago.
I just finished creating a satellite dish rotating tracking mount to download images from weather satellites.

So I finished creating it and doing all the instruction manuals and I would be interested in what people think about it.

Still plenty of hardware refining to do, but it's starting to work quite well.
