No I do not, but this is the kind of thing I use AI to find. If you do not know about how to do this just ask.
A true Republican. Anything that amplifies imbeciles and keeps poor people poor is the priority. Control the conversation of the masses with an endless string of stupidity so that they never think for themselves and take reasonable action. They can't collectivise with no time to think.
More or less than taxifs and SS on Ice?
Thank you

The real touch of a painter that is hard to acquire is only really relevant in the last layers of primer and sealer. It is possible to feel things that cannot be seen using fingertips over a panel. One of the aspects of this is simply part of the job. You'll wet sand so much as a painter that the skin on the fingertips is very thin. I worked until my fingers bled most days. That thin skin is always hot and super sensitive. It is possible to learn to barely graze the surface and feel the tiniest imperfections.
The main trick to calibrate touch is Wax and Grease Remover (a solvent). When W&GR is used on a panel it will briefly form a wet gloss. That wet gloss will simulate what the clear coat will look like but slightly worse because a 2k clear is much thicker and will level.
When sanding anything from fillers to high build primers, guide coats and sanding blocks are what matters. Blocks must be wide enough and shaped to bridge the issue. With most regular jobs that don't require absolute perfection, curved surfaces are sanded by hand using a soft foam block.
Back in the day, I would have loved 3d printing and TPU because I could have made custom sanding blocks for jobs. Back then I used balsa wood to make special shapes when I needed them. I had probably three dozen or so sanding blocks for all the different issues I came across.
For guide coats, some people like a graphite like powder that is made for guide coats because rattle can enamel is absolute garbage paint and leaving any of it behind is a major risk under urethane paints especially the color coat. However, I still only ever used whatever junk rattle can I found on sale for a dollar. You only need a light speckled but consistent dusting of a guide coat. The sanding block will show the highs and lows. Just be sure you're using the block like a rolling pin and not like a scrubbing brush. You can even use a guide coat with sanding prep for polishing work.
There is not a ton of skill in this area. A few tips about techniques is all it takes. The real skills of automotive paint are in tinting colors to match the degradation of an existing finish, matching orange peal, and primarily knowing how to best remedy situations when things go very wrong. All the various ways paint can react badly are complex problems and those lessons are hard won with bad experiences. Most can be avoided with meticulous cleanliness at the earliest phase of work.
I don't do well with very long project timelines. I think it is quite remarkable that you can last for 5 months on a project with kids and all the distractions that entails. Sleep deprivation puts me in situations where it is like my mind is wiped every couple of months. I just don't care to get back into a complex project and lose my motivation to some new curiosity. I tried to fight it at first. I was only like this after disability. It just becomes a depressing spiral and I don't tend to finish very much. Hopefully that changes. I have several nearly completed projects I would like to finish, but oh well. Kids would absolutely drive me nuts, but I am at pain levels with sound and some light sensitivity 24/7.
(As a mod) Sorry, it must have happened right as I went to bed. So it was the worst timing for a maximum delay. I have removed the duplicates.
I'm not sure why it happened but it probably has something to do with LW being on a very old version of Lemmy and not updating.

Expanding bicycle water bottle threaded insert that installs with a cone wrench. Printed in TPU. It barely fits in the holes in my frame but works well enough. The slot gap works quite well to allow expansion inside the frame. I embedded a M4 washer in the head section, and you can see the M4 * 6mm heatset insert. It feels pretty solid all fastened down. Using Philips head on a proper road bike though... That has got to be fixed. M4 is smaller than typical for bike water bottles, but that is already stretching what is possible for brass inserts and the available wall thickness I had for the surrounding print. Other bikes will have different dimensionality for the hole, frame thickness, and surrounding structure, so sharing the file has no real value. The idea might be useful to someone. It does seem to work and doesn't require the special inserts and tool for installing metal inserts.

Original YT description:
Scaling a 3D printing business can be difficult when a viral moment strikes—unless you have the right tools. When Craig’s Little Ouchie exploded in popularity, he faced a massive challenge: fulfilling thousands of orders in just days. With TikTok Shop requiring fast shipping, he was at risk of losing everything… until 3D Print-On-Demand saved the day.
Using Teleport, Craig connected his store directly to a fleet of 3D printers, instantly tapping into mass production without any upfront investment. No need to buy more machines, hire extra help, or stress over logistics—his viral success was fulfilled seamlessly.
This is the power of 3D Print-On-Demand. No inventory, no warehousing, just on-demand production at scale. Watch how Craig’s business thrived instead of collapsed and learn how you can do the same!

I think it is an interesting story, PTSD/Autism sensory product, and service to be aware of if one ever needed it. However, this is easily construed as marketing. If you watched and feel that is the case, down vote this post or better yet, leave a comment. I want to know how the community feels about this grey area between usefulness/informative post and marketed products. As far as my present mod stance, user account history is how I determine whether a post is guerilla marketing. Low engagement or lots of low effort interactions are indicative of a potential shill account.(original thumbnail was clickbait so I grabbed a screenshot of the numbers for ref)
