Amish DUI, two men flee after drinking and buggying
I think if the horse wasn't drunk it shouldn't count.
I thought this post was relevant since we are talking about disappearing alcoholic horses

Just a heads up to others, but the link has NSFW adverts.

Thanks, I removed the link. I tried to delete the post, but it wouldn't let me.

Now you have done it. Now my boss complains about not finding that interesting link anymore.

I'm working on a permanent place for my 3D printer, and it's goin on my short filing cabinet - too many reasons for this little bon mot.
Anyway, that means leveling the cabinet properly - I did a temporary job with a pile of books when I put it in there, but you know how long they last: 8 or 9 years, I think.
So today is "build a 3D printer case" day, and first off, grab a lump of fence Post I have kicking around, cut it, clean the ends, cut it to length, sand it, chamber the edges and screw it to the cabinet base.
Stick it in place to find how big a bunch of shims I'll need - I want the printer sitting on a stable, level surface - and on goes the inclinometer.
0.3 degrees Front to Back.
0.3 degrees Left to Right.
I'll take that - my floor isn't near that level!
Hopefully this is a sign of how things will go today

In the past I have used (currently using) adjustable feet for my desk and shelving because parts of my home are over 100 year's old, and not level.
This may help you achieve level for any table, desk, shelving unit, etc. Just a thought. Note, the link below is for wood, but you can find other types for plastic and metal, etc. The idea and function remains the same, achieve level for an item on an un-level surface.

ugh, i feel your pain.
our place is only 30 years old but in order to level it enough to install wood floors we had to tear up the subfloor and shim everything.
The walls are still crooked. 
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Sorry to hear. Parts of my home are several million years old, but everything is either perfectly level or plumb.
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

Have fun. At least 3D printers don't rotate with 2700 rpm or fly and they also don't do very extreme things if you failed to level them properly.
Actually 0,3 deg. is not so bad. I have never heard of anyone making a big fuss over how well leveled the entire printer stands as long as it is so little. Leveling the build plate, however...
That reminds me of stiill having to take apart the extruder of mine and clean out whatever there still is in there. Cleaning it with acetone will not work. It cand solve PLA and I don't want to have any of the stuff in my house that could.

Cats have good memories. They will touch the hot nozzle only twice. For the first and the last time.

yes, but when it's idle.
cats have a totally different perspective of what/where is comfortable,
and more often then not that perspective is contrary to what humans deem important/valuable

I know[^]. Didn't he say he's building an enclosure? That should make it fairly uninteresting for the cat.

That's most of why I'm building a box for it - so that the cat can't sleep in it, eat the cables, chase it while it's printing, ...
So I had a 1220 x 2400 sheet of 5.5mm ply delivered today, and I'm out in the garden cutting it up with what seems to be most of my power tools involved ... So far today my drill driver and pilot / countersink / screw bit adapter (very handy), rotary sander, cross cut rotary saw, table saw, and soon the routers ...

Aren't you suppose to PRINT your 3D models instead of building them?

I saw the post title and I thought this was a training accomplishment or a game tip... you threw me a curve ball.

Why don't you just 3D print a stand for it?

Since his printer is not level, then his printed stand would not be level either, true? IDK really. I am not familiar with 3D printing so much.

Actually, that's not so important as long as the extruder and the build plate are adjusted properly.

He has the current leveling devices (old books) installed. This should suffice until he has created the new custom stand with each leg the appropriate length - or at least some end-caps for the existing stand to adjust the heights of each leg/corner/whatever.

Jusdt set it onthe washing machine and set the spin cycle that should be interesting!
