  • You’re right, I clearly didn’t look at it close enough.
    However, I think I am correct for the source of the material. Now that I look closer I’m pretty sure that the top right picture is actually of the monitor turned on its side. And then he would have taken the matching cut from the other side of the monitor for the other side of the mask.

    I find that aluminum is the best medium for trial and error because even though it is somewhat expensive, it’s easy on the bits. And that is important regardless of the bulk material costs.

    Dude your CNC sessions are totally out of hand if you are having to buying aluminum in bulk. Just get yourself some shibari ropes and a blind fold if you want to take your time and make it an extended session.


  • Ya, we used to have more of the little fat slow white ones (orb weavers I think) around when I was a kid, and other than cobwebs all over the place, they never gave us trouble. I generally try not to mess with them though, or I’ll do a catch and release. But between the Brown Recluse bite I got as a teenager that took almost an entire year to heal and the other non-poisionous bites I have gotten while asleep or watching tv that take 6 weeks to heal, it’s insta-death if any others are found inside my house.
    I just realized that I am a spider racist. White and yellow get the gentle touch, but black and brown are going down.

    Not all spiders are buddies who will just keep to their website and kill pests. Many are aggressive roaming hunters that just go around biting shit to see if it is edible. And that includes you just sleep or sitting still.
    Also, even the nonvenomous spiders have some seriously bad oral hygiene and carry bacteria that causes deep infectious wounds that take months to heal.
    Even with all that, if they were just slow or stupid I might take the time to catch and release, but given that the majority are stupid fast, and/or actively trying to leap at me… they gotta die.
    Having said that I don’t fuck with them outside, especially the banana spiders, because banana spiders are instantly easy to identify and aren’t interested in starting trouble.








  • That sucks.
    Is your cpap a unit like the resmed where the water tank can be removed and not used? The reason I ask is because I am curious if you can hook it up without the water tank and let it run for longer than 10 minutes without you wearing it and then check to see if you still smell the burnt plastic? That would at least let you narrow it down to whether it’s a water tank issue or something in the head unit.


  • Take it apart and wash everything. They are really pretty simple devices. I literally just finished replacing the motor on my ResMed S9. It has 8 allen head screws in total, and they were all the same size. I used an allen wrench that came with my 3D printer, it’s not marked but measures 2 mm across. It took me less than 10 minutes to get it apart. This guy has a pretty nice breakdown.

    Everything except for the main board, SD card, and motor can be washed with dish soap in your sink.

    I’ve taken apart a couple others and they were pretty simple too, so I willing to bet that you can find a tear down video on pretty much all of them out there.

    Make sure to wash the water tank really well and wipe it’s inside down. Mini cpaps coat there water tanks with a bittering agent that stinks when you run out of water. So just be sure and never to let it run out of water, or turn off your water function.
