Well the cylinder has a stroke length of ~8 inches (it's a little less) it is 17 inches from the pivot point, the other arm is 6 inches from the pivot.
When the cylinder is fully extended, the crushing plate will move down about 3 inches which is greater than the width of most cans. (At least greater than all of the cans I have.)
It flattened cans sideways because I wanted to be able to put them through a shredder. It was very close to accomplishing that, if the base plate didn't bend to shit, I'm sure it would have worked.
Yes! But the crushinator is a big girl, mine couldn't hold a candle to that, so she squishes instead of crushes!
I made an Instagram for blueberry and her brother's, because they can't type very well and refuse to use technology. https://www.instagram.com/princessbloobs?igsh=cDY1dmVoOWI0cmJy

For real? That is absurd, they are legitimately encouraging you to hide it.
If someone broke into my house, my daniff/pits would have a hayday on their ass and I would not hesitate to put them in the ground if they even remotely threaten my family.
I can't believe that there would be laws defending a home invader!?

I literally just got my Saturn 4 ultra two weeks ago, it prints PERFECTLY right out of the box. I literally did nothing to set it up. I'm so used to my CR10 needing to be babysat it was shocking how well the prints come out.
I have heard of them losing their Z position and ramming the build plate into the reservoir repeatedly, but that the only problem I have really heard of them having.
Maybe yours has a defect?

I did! And you have no idea, those damn horses can be scary. We had one a while back (total asshole of a horse) that kept escaping and walking on the streets, I had to walk it back one day, it decided very abruptly that is was terrified of the gate. It started rearing up and shit.
I panicked because we were right in the gateway and I was very close to it. I just knew I had to get it back in so the first thing I thought to do was punch it in the face.. it worked. We sold him very shortly after that.

So I made her some of these little guys.

I should have recorded while I was testing it, once I replaced the base plate, I will absolutely record it!

So I put it it on a lever, it has ~2.4 mechanical advantage. So it goes from ~160lbs from the cylinder to about 400lbs on the "squishy plate". Unfortunately, I was a little too hardcore, after a few tests, it managed to bend the entire base. Once I can get a some thicker metal I will put it back together. Why do this? Because I have a tiny furnace and a mountain of cans that I melt down and cast into random shit.

I mean yeah, that's disgusting, but why land the plane over it? It'd be one thing if it was running aisle to aisle biting people's faces, but I don't think that was the case.

I'm a freight conductor. There is no schedule, unless you notice them happening at around the same time every day, you won't find a pattern. We pretty much get a call and hour and a half before we need to go in at any random time of day or night and that's when the train moves.
Testing out high resolution stuff, this hefty jeff is the background on my 4k 3840x2160 monitors. I am actually really pleased with the result.
