Another scrap yard score! This time it's 1" square t-slot, 11 pieces in varying lengths from 660-850 mm. A total weight of 13 lbs, all for $13! [attachment 92471 t-slot.jpg] Visit your local scrap yards! As you can see, it's a little dirty- a few minutes in the sink with a scrub brush fixed that. There are a few screw holes here and there, and some scratches. It isn't new stuff. Now I just have to decide what to build with it... https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,759082,759082#msg-759082 Tue, 06 Oct 2026 11:01:11 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,759082,759549#msg-759549 Re: Another scrap yard score! https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,759082,759549#msg-759549 a slice of 200mm would be a nice foot for my printer, especially if slots are 15 or 20 apart.]]> MechaBits General Thu, 30 Mar 2017 16:04:42 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,759082,759536#msg-759536 Re: Another scrap yard score! https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,759082,759536#msg-759536 Floyd General Thu, 30 Mar 2017 15:20:58 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,759082,759529#msg-759529 Re: Another scrap yard score! https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,759082,759529#msg-759529

Nice, whats that going to be used for, would make a rather expensive/heavy heatsink.

Any ideas gratefully received. I don't like seeing anything nice go to scrap and 1 meter of 100mm x 600mm T slot extrusion plus assorted lengths of 100mm x 100mm was too nice to let it get melted down.

Keyboard is there for scale but also see standard paving blocks.

So I got a three V8s to use on my soon-to-be 100m diameter Delta printer. I figure if I use the A4988 stepper drivers to run the spark plugs, and the direction setting to switch between 1st/reverse gear, I can get 1mm resolution. Where can I get 200400 extrusion? Should I use 256x microstepping?

lol

You could always make a V8 blender.

a printer made from old car parts

That would be a real challenge! :D

Around here you have dead car yards and lots of places recycling metals

Anything nice like t slot joe public never gets to see... It goes to the recyclers whom wont let you look at what they have]]> Dust General Wed, 29 Mar 2017 03:45:10 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,759082,759112#msg-759112 Re: Another scrap yard score! https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,759082,759112#msg-759112 MechaBits General Wed, 29 Mar 2017 03:18:39 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,759082,759106#msg-759106 Re: Another scrap yard score! https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,759082,759106#msg-759106
