megmaltese. Could I suggest that you take a little time to read back through the posts you have made and the responses you have received with a self-critical eye.
You are quite unnecessarily aggresive in the choice of language in many places while the guys responding to you are just attempting to help.
I've quoted one example above and if I was on a PC I would have quoted one from virtually every post.
The forum is here as a community feature and also the means by which Tim provides support on his product. If you have taken any trouble to search and read through the myriad of posts on this forum you would realise that Tim goes out of his way to solve issues if people have genuine ones. He has assembled and run many of these machines and gets them tested by the community before he puts changes in the version being sold. If he says something will work, it will. People often misinterpret the intrsuctions - As Tim has said on other occasions, this is not designed to be a consumer product.
Just my 2 pence worth...
Man if you can't spot that's just a joke line I can't do anything about it.
I know there's mm and inch measures, and dealt with this for 30 years already.
I sure am not an expert in DIY, but in example I mounted and had it up and running the printer OneUp in 4 h even though the company declares it needs 8 h to be assembled.
This said, I noticed also Tim looks a bit touchy and seems not to understand when I'm joking or just reporting an info, and he seems to take it as a critique each time.
By nature, I don't make a drama of anything, so if I point out the holes in the wood are out of line, it's just what they are: out of line.
I shouldn't say it?
Also, I just ASKED if it was ok that the base wasn't included, then I pointed out that I completely agree that it doesn't make sense to send a large piece of wood by mail, I thought that with that it was easy to understand that I'm not that AGGRESSIVE or SOPHISTICATED d*ck that wants all and everything.
I am NOT that kind of person.
Concluding: if no joke is admitted/understanded, I will stop, no problem.
If any critic/note/info request is taken as an aggression, I will stop too, no problem.
No wait, I'll still ask info.
On the other side I see that Tim is very helpful and I'm not ashamed to admit it and I want to say thank you for this.
Over.
Now for something completely different that may come helpful to somebody else out there.
About the tightener metal band on the heater: I was tripping around the machine yesterday night when finally my brain turned on and gave me the solution.
Just take it off the heater and screw the bolt in a couple of turns, then slip it back in on the heater and with a few hits with a wrench it will go in smoothly and easily enough, then you can tighten it even more.
Of course do it with the heater ALREADY mounted on the barrel.
