This site lacks HTTPS encryption, not secure!
homebuiltrovs.com lacks HTTPS (aka TLS) encryption. Take a look at the web address. It starts with http. No "s" at the end. This means that every time anyone logs in, their password is sent over the internet unencrypted, in plain text. This means that someone could conceptually steal your ...

Re: Reusing an RTV Gasket
I think I found the solution to my gasket surface issue- I just needed to sand down the 3d printed sealing surfaces. I was able to get these surfaces to be almost perfectly flat with almost a glass smooth finish. I am doing testing now, but I suspect they will seal well with my 1mm thick 30A gasket....

Re: Reusing an RTV Gasket
Ok thanks for the good ideas. I am now thinking a really soft seal could work well. Maybe 30A-40A. I'll try a couple and see what works.

I am making a craft from primarily 3d printed parts. The 3d printed hull contains all of the electronics. This hull is basically a tub and a lid. They meet at a somewhat flat perimeter surface that will be held together with small wood screws every 15mm. The issue is that this meeting/sealing surfac...

Re: Google Sketchup is being a pain
Oh yeah, another way to do this would be to create the cylinder like before but then use Bool Tools plugin to "subtract" it from your craft. Installing a plugin is probably overkill for your job though:

Re: Google Sketchup is being a pain
Answering for people viewing this in the future. There are several ways to do this. I think the easiest would be: 1. Create a cylinder where the hole should be that extends through the surface you are "drilling". You can do this by first creating a circle tangential to your object at the d...
