Dragged this boy off the rack the other day to give it some playing time, I made it about 25 years ago out of a Kauri? mantlepiece and a generic allparts neck, its heavy as fuck.

Are you trying onshape? If so getting planes in place is kindof more difficult than sw, although you can make a 3 point plane from points on the scan which can be useful for orientating things

Solidworks is pretty shit for editing scans, you can basically only bring it in as a graphics body which cannot have operations performed on it. I have been told that fusion360 can make an stl in to an editable body, but I tried once and it/me was fucking useless. You best bet is Onshape, it imports an stl as an editable surface with certain limitations. But you should be able to create other surfaces and cut the scan with them, or do mutual trims etc. Just make sure the file isnt too big otherwise you will be there for a long time. I have found Bambu studio to be pretty good/quick at reducing scan size without losing heaps of detail. You just ignore the error when it is a meter bigger than the build volume.

Ah sorted, I am not sure which method worked cos I just dumped all the possible files and directories and repositories onto a usb, when promted I plugged ot in and it found what it needed... Yay. Now to finish install and figure out how to set it all up again...

Its not working I put the binaries in the /firmware dir. No go. I downloaded the actual deb package rather than the bare binaries, put it in the pool/non-free-firmware/f/firmware-nonfree dir and still nothing. I have put that package into the /firmware dir and see if it can find it now...

Fuck now I have to get it to find the network binaries during install. Which is proving difficult due to my profound ignorance of Linux.

Ha, the rufus checkbox for 'make it work with shitty old bios' won out, Wayne gets coffee and lamingtons

Its just some generic sff machine I had lying around, maybe a lenovo or ibm?, but of the 3 parallel ported randos I had or acquired it had the best latency/jitter test. Key for the CNC accuracy

Anyway, @h4nd gave me some loving and pointed out that Rufus has some options for legacy booting, Ill try this tomorrow first, then look at the above...

Dont wanna

Q for the IT boffins as @h4nd is ignoring me. I am trying to put a new version of LinuxCNC onto my machine but the pc it old as fuck (although it has 3x sata ports but only one sata power connection) and I cant get it to boot off a usb. It can see it in the bios and I have run through the USB emulation types in the bios. The best I can do is make it look like a fdd and I get this; ------------ SYSLINUX 6.04 EDD 6.04-pre1 Copyright (C) 1994-2015 H. Peter Anvin et al No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found! boot: ---------- Its a 16gb drive that I set up with Rufus, but could it be too big for the bios to read? I thought about partitioning the SSD and putting the install files on that. Or maybe format it as a smaller drive... Otherwise I will have to find a burnable dvd

I have been thinking about that ∆ Not only would it solve your fume issue, it would also solve the handling issue by putting a couple of hundred kg in the frunk...amazing.

What are the rules around new caravan and enclosed trailer builds? I had it in my head that they were maybe changing the get a WOF then register it system...?

So the neighbour has a diesel Fiat 500 that the EGR shat itself, it would run for 10 20 mins then choke up and stop. Replacement setups cost something like 6x the value of the car so obviously not worth it. I did a bit of research and some stupid circuit turned up on a Fiat forum that you spliced into shit to fool the ecu that the egr was working. It was $5 worth of Jaycar poos and a minor amount of time so we went for it, and much to my surprise it appears to actually work.. The question is whether or not that is actually legal?
