Weather currently looking iffy. Still going ahead.

I have heard of the downgrades when renewing of licences. I wonder if the post office would know. I know of a policeman that renewed his licence and they took motorbikes off. His job was on a police motorbike. Took a while to get it rectified and couldn't do his job. Maybe worth a call yo thr...

There wwere many bushes in the garden that really grew a lot this year. I dont think some of them were even there at the end of last year. My task was to clear bushes so i can get to the fence panels. 3 panels need work, and two fence posts have rotted at the bottom. Added some wood to...

Made a base for the Foscam D2EP camera. Created a model for it. Printed out in ABS. Posting here to chate the 3D file. Maybe one day someone will search for this and end up on this page.

In material it gost £6.50 to print. So saved money there, however it did take around 1 hour to draw up. This is the one Foscam make. Ideally I dont want a cable out the side, i want it hidden inder the box. So my custom one fits my neads better.

3D printed a base for it, as there are many wires I dont need and do not need to go through the hold in the wall. Yes you can buy a box, but for £30+ it was fun drawing it up, and printing it. I did drill the bit hold from the front side. The drill bit is this way round ready to feed the...

It was all filled with the right stuff to begin with as wasnt expecting to have a leak. Managed to catch most of it from the leaks so I could put it back in.

Checked for drops this morning, been over 12 hours, car got up to temp before haqnd and cooled down. Not a single drip. I think we can call this done now. I will keep checking rad levels for the next few trips. Summary: The actual pump change was simple, it was just an old rubber in the drain...

New o-rings arrived today. Used my 3D printed tool, took seconds to change. I knew 10 x 1.5 and 10 x 2.5 were no good. 10 x 2 appears to fit perfect. No leaks. I have left a bowl underneath, see if there are any leaks over night. Fingers crossed this can be put to bed now.

It cost 79p in material to print. A few people have 3D printers, becoming more common. I needed to print this tool as it would be useful to me. Around 30minjs to measure and draw. Happy to share the file for free. I dont wish to make anything from it. Just happy to share incase it helps someone...

Looks like a similar tool already out there that can be undone with a socket. I quite like my 3D printed one as can turn by hand and get the feel to no over tighten it.

The drain plug can be stiff, but also the winds on it are fragile from time. I wanted to undo the one on my 2000 Pontiac firebird. Whipped up a 3D printed tool that bits and allows you to turn it with ease STL file attached in ZIP form. Hopefully this will be of use to someone else...

Printed great. Kinda needed it, the threads were stiff, and using a metal tool was damaging it. This 3D printed tool gives you great grip, not ging to damage the radiator plug. Gave it a fury texture, makes it a little easier to grip. Happy with that. I will need it when the o-rings arrive...

On the way back from hayling just south of the roundabout for the A27. On the right hand side there were 2 fire engines and 6 police cars. There was an White SUV, backwards on the other side of the railings. Air bags had gone off. I may be able to check on dashcam, but as its the other side of...
