Greetings all; How do I get and install the buildbot's apt-key EF1B07FEE0EE663E ? With wget I'd imagine, but don't recall the keyserver. :( Thanks all. Cheers, Gene Heskett. -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo. Please use in that order."

we wrapped the ball screw and nut with plastic - dad went outside and ground it with an angle grinder. Then finished it up on the belt sander. He took a couple breaks mainly so it didn't get too hot. (it barely got hot to the touch.) We had thought about milling out the slot - but didn't want

It is my understanding that ball screws are case hardened so grind to get under the case and then things get easy. Interesting and good job on the ball nut. !! In line with the nebel prize: the machine should be a very light grey and your hand should pass thru it easily.  ;-) Nebel = fog.

That was a generic ball screw from ebay with the ends machine. My understanding is the shaft is only surface hardened and is pretty soft underneath. (have not tried filing various areas of the ball screw though) On Mon, Mar 21, 2022 at 8:53 AM Leonardo Marsaglia wrote: > Sam, have you had to
