  • @RandomSmith
    @RandomSmithАй бұрын

    I don't think the heat would do anything, but would be worried about the SSD being constantly written to 24 hours a day unless the SSD Firmware/Fetch Software had good wear leveling so that all areas of the SSD are written to an equal amount of times. It could make menus and restarts faster.

    use a proper auger, or if you need to use a drill, use one with the right angle handle attachment and brace it against a meaty part of your leg, never allowing it to leave contact with your leg. at least this way if you hit a rock it'll stop without wrecking your wrists

  • @RandomSmith
    @RandomSmithАй бұрын

    good ideas, the last one I used had the right angle handle, but my soil is very rocky/shale, so I usually have to use a two man auger which is still hard/dangerous in my soil - tried one before, If I need a lot of holes for retaining walls, I usually pay someone to bring a machine to dig them, just that in this patch of garden I can't get a machine down there and only have a few holes to dig, so thought it was worth trying these small augers. Before I tried these augers, I was manually digging with post hole digger and 6ft crow bar/breaker.

    @isthattrue10832 ай бұрын

    Well no, no printer prints to the edge. They print in the print area about 10-15 mm inward. So 10-15mm in from every side. It's because the way the build plates heat up. The very outer edge wont be quite the same temp as the center, so warping and bed adhesion become an issue.

  • @RandomSmith
    @RandomSmith2 ай бұрын

    I wasn’t talking about if a printer could print outside it’s stated range, just the considerations you have to make printing within the stated range, like on mine, the test line is within the 265x256 and to solve that you need to pause printer to give you time to remove it if you are doing a large print or just reorient the part to be horizontal if it only used the whole width in one direction. Or the consideration that one should design in rounded corners if using the full bed, as in you can’t print in mid air over rounded bed corners that are not physically there and this case it is 7 mm you can’t print on, so design that into your parts before you printed them and find out that fact later.

    If the old drive is failed, how can it be cloned? If it's not failed, went would you need a new drive? But i can see why Fetch are selling literally tens of thousands of refurbished Max Gen3 (M616T) for $189. Obviously a common manufacturing fault of some sort. I just know what it is that fails that kills the drive but cloning it works. MBR? O/S? Should be covered under ACL beyond the 2 years. I'm guessing it's SATA, and presumably it's not the heads crashing or it couldn't be cloned, but if going to the effort, can you just clone it to a sata ssd? It'd surely be more reliable long term? If you don't have a cloning machine, windows software should still clone a non ntfs drive? Like if you bought a crucial drive with free eesus license or something? Certainly if you had to buy a drive and a cloner, you're far better off buying a refurbished with new warranty otherwise. But awesome knowing how easy it is to open!

  • @jonmobrien
    @jonmobrien3 ай бұрын

    I see the refurbished price has dropped $90 since your video as they're selling the newer Gen4 (M681T) for new purchases. $149 from JB I see so that's $130 cheaper than when you did the video. For that price, with JB making a profit, and fetch obviously making a profit after refurbishing them and repackaging with new remote, cables, boxing, wrapping, shipping, they're obviously doing a very very very very simple fix on the drives and reuse the drives. Reminds me of when Samsung repair centres got thousands of dead TVs just out of warranty, quoted $300-$400 to replace the boards, then when the quote was declined, they replaced one 50c blown capacitor and sold the TV's refurbished for a few hundred dollars.

  • @RandomSmith

    If refurbished one is reasonably priced then that is a good option. If your machine is playing up and giving intermittent drive related messages, that is a good point to clone the drive before it fails completely.

    You could boot off a live Linux thumb drive and use clonezilla, but you'd also need X2 connections to hardrives, ie: Fetch -> new HD It's also possible to save an image of the Fetch, then "burn" that image to the new drive, but this is complicating things and you'd need more then 1t or space for the image (maximum) to do it that way For ~$35-50 the stand alone clone box is the way to go.
