Please play nicely. No one wants to listen/read a keyboard warriors rants....
Took the RRS across to Oxford & picked up a 5.0 supercharged autobiography in exchange,what a great journey home over 500 BHP and the sound is amazing 👍
I think K2 plus and K2 Pro are similar print heads. Not sure about the base K2, specs imply max lower temps, so something must be different to that
Oh, and popped it back on charge, despite it's 300 mile trip yesterday, as all that door opening and having the wireless on took the battery down to 50%
Don't let your tanks run low folks!
A mate of mine, who is as tight as a ducks arse, got a K2 Plus, and we have shown you can peel off the RFID tags from a empty Creality reel and put on another without damage virtually 100% of the time, and reprogram.
They might not stick perfectly, but a bit of sellotape over them sorts that.
Also, we were discussing what spares to have on hand....
Its defo worth you having some spare PTFE tube and a spare extruder cover.
You did, but being sensible goes against the grain with me.
I feel much older and more boring now I own one.
B58 lump as fitted to M240i/M340i is probably one of the best engines made.
3 litre straight 6 with loads of top end power and 'stump pulling' torque at the bottom end.
My actual car made 445 bhp and 475 lb ft of twist when strapped to the dyno at Viezu. BMW quote a very conservative 369BHP and 369 lb ft of torque.
Asda 143.9p yesterday, up 4p. Some smaller garages up 10p....profiteering.
I always thought it was a bit cheeky of BMW to name the 4 cylinder 2.0 litre plug in hybrid 330e/530e, which implied that it’s a three litre. I know they are fairly brisk but they are worlds away from a 3.0 litre, so why not just call them 320e/520e.
. It also doesn't have the nice feel of either of the 3.0 units, which is important when you're paying that ludicrous amount of money!
Brent Crude now at $76.72. I filled up this morning and diesel was £1.399 in Tesco.
Keeping warm next winter might be a bit pricy though as UK natural gas futures are up 45%!
I mean, I know it's your hobby and you'll end up with a really nice car, but is it really worth throwing all this money at? If it were mine, I think I'd be shitting myself about now.
If the unthinkable were to happen, what would the insurance payout be like?
It's true I could have leased a new Astra for £3,279 down and 47 x £379... So using some spectacular man maths, the 30 months I have had the car for would have cost me £14,649 for the new Astra. I have spent ~£13,300 on the The Proper Car (cost to change, retrofits and maintenance, including the gearbox replacement), so I am still ahead and I own the car
The RFID type you need are MiFare Classic 1k. In UK, I was struggling to get them for less than around 40p each in quantities less than 50. Someone on Ebay doing 100 for about £22 delivered. I've got a load coming from aliexpress, something like £9 for 80 - I can let you know the item number when they arrive and I've tested.
