Mislabeled Levels of Hell

In the spirit of summer, we kick off this week with a timely discussion of whether you can cook food on the engine of your car; how hot would your exhaust pipes even need to be? Stephen shares the current challenges he’s facing with his CNC (computer numerical control) project; avoiding messy wiring, dos and don’ts of using electrical tape and when to upgrade to a bigger 3D printing. We also discuss the special place in hell for the person at the hardware store who puts the wrong screw in the wrong drawer. 😈

Manifold Destiny: Cooking on a Car Engine

• Experience the culinary adventure of transforming your car into a BBQ hotspot
• Exhaust pipes can reach temperatures of up to 1200°F; certainly enough to cook an egg
• Stainless steel changes color based on heat, with blue occurring around 550-650°F and brown near 450°F
• We compare the artistry of welding techniques on Instagram akin to the Mona Lisa to the practical Parker-style welding approach

CNC (computer numerical control): Stephen Project Status Update

• Stephen provides a status update on his ongoing CNC project
• Tips for avoiding messy wiring and achieving a professional look in CNC projects
• Discussion on the dos and don’ts of using electrical tape
• Considerations for upgrading to a larger 3D printer, expanding your printing possibilities
• The special place in hell for the person who puts the wrong screw in the wrong drawer at the hardware store

Summary/Takeaways:
