Yes even Ryman offer it now. No idea how good they are but should be decent if they are charging for it! I've also heard of a site where individuals can offer their services to make some money from their printer sitting idle. I dont recall the name. Should be more affordable than a big brand...

Thanks Martin, hope I will see you in person soon!

Sounds amazing! I made a short video here which lets you hear exactly how it sounds. (lol!) I'm not sure wood filament would be any better than PLA. I think changes to geometry would help most, like adding a matrix of bracing for example.

Hey hey I remembered my password after only 5 tries! I just finished writing this 'Instructables' for a free 3D printed speaker design I made. Took longer to write it than I anticipated so thought I'd share it around :)...

I think with a few changes like a quiet motor and a more carefully made platter bearing it could probably be quite good. Why not improve it yourself, if you know better? https://github.com/marhod/Orbit

This is brilliant creativity. Enjoy your grumpy forum :p

I saw this and thought of you :)

Poor guy, as others said it's unlikely to be the pot that caused issues. Make sure your speakers are okay then battle onward. You will learn so much more solving this mystery than giving it to an expert. After careful visual inspection you could try looking for heat. A spray of contact cleaner...

Thanks for the replies. I have told my own insurer so don't worry about that. I just think it seems unreasonable to write off someones car and not include a certian period of rental to allow the claiment to find a new car. It's not like you can pop along to the shop in town and get a...

My car was hit while parked outside my home. Luckily the driver stopped and all was okay with nobody hurt. As the other party accepted full liability I didn't claim on my own insurance and went direct to the other party insurer who is 'Covea'. They have written off my car and have also...

Thought I'd follow up and say the Dunlops improved no end after a few hundred miles. They are now as quiet as the Michelin.

I visited the local fireplace shop, talked to the guy there and showed some pictures. Now working nicely. I also have a digital readout CO detector stuck to the bottom of the mantelpiece and doesn't trigger.

I've just ordered a CO alarm with PPM readout.

You mean a wood-fired stove? We had open gas fires in my home as a child and I've fond memories of sitting beside them with hot chocolate after coming home in cold rainy weather. I'd like to keep the open fire :) Good info regarding the flame type Martin, I'll get a CO alarm. When I blow out...

I thought all sand was silica? Why are people terrified of gas fires but will happily use a gas cooker? I know the chimney is working and the fire was also working okay before I had the bright idea to clean out the crap in the bottom. The last owners of the house were using it too.
