I learned a new trick?

I know that I'm going to get half a dozen rude "Yeah, of course" responses, but here goes...

I try to recover the ruthex (brass threaded) inserts from my test prints and reuse them. That has always meant breaking the print apart or using a soldering iron to heat them and pull them out (covered in plastic!) Then clean them up and reuse them at another time.

What I did today blew my mind it was so easy. Boil a pot of water drop the part into the water for about 15-20 seconds with a screw in the insert. Take the part out or the water and pull on the screw with a pair of pliers. It came out so easily and cleanly. that I had to do a batch of them, it was so satisfying! 😜

Who knew!?!

Convertible Coding

I have a ‘22 F57 and BimmerCode and I’m hoping I can change the distance setting for opening the top from the remote. I literally have to be standing next to the car to open (or close) the top. The sunroof opens at a greater distance, but the feature is practically useless when I need to stand next to the car and wait…

Does anyone know if that value is in the advanced settings of BimmerCode? If it is which one is it??

TPU Solvent?

Printing with MorphX TPU and the adhesion is off the hook! Now I either have a one sided build plate or find a solvent that will soften the residue left when I peeled the print off the plate.
