This isn't totally unrelated to RC, but I kinda want to get into 1/32 slot car racing. I used to race the hell out of slot cars as a kid, had numerous sets that me and my friends set up, some were really elaborate.
I'll give it a look buddy

The different "pew" setting is hilarious!
This is my still existing 15x5(?) 4 lanes track. It will take a lot of elbow grease to clean those rails to get in tip top shape again. I keep telling myself I'm going to get it running again one of these days.
I've got about over 100 cars stored under that track table. Most are BNIB.

I've really slacked off my trains lately and concentrating on getting my kayak modded the way I want it. My RCs will always get my full attention.

Wow, sweet track! I'm definitely going to build one in my basement in the coming years.
Thank you so much that's an incredibly helpful answer. I will take a close look at the ender. Prusa is another make that is also getting good reviews.With FDM, you can easily print PLA, PETG, and TPU. ABS and Nylon are much stronger materials, but they are harder to print. It requires the printer to be in a more controlled environment, like inside an enclosure, and they require higher nozzle and bed temps to print them. And ABS isn't good to breath the fumes from. But I do know a guy that prints Nylon on a regular Ender 3 without an enclosure. The newer Ender series printers make this easier with their 24v power supply.
PLA works for certain RC parts. For 24th scale stuff, it would be just fine for crawlers. It mostly depends on the orientation you print the parts in, meaning printing a part laying flat on the bed, vs standing up on an edge will yield different results when it pertains to strength. PETG would be a really good material to print 24th scale stuff out of.
SLA or resin printers are great for getting fine detail. Printing small wheels with the little lug details for example turn out much better on an SLA printer. But you have the resin to deal with. It's messy, sticky, and you have to clean the parts afterwards in either alcohol or mineral spirits, all while not getting it on your skin. It builds up in your body over time, and it can cause a myriad of health problems if improperly handled. Then you have to have a UV light to final cure the resin, and cure the waste so it can be disposed of safely. It is very bad for the environment if uncured.
I suggest you start out with an FDM printer. Particularly the Ender 3 V2. It is a great printer for the money. You won't find a better one in that price range. I need to grab one myself

I have never made pizza dough. Got any tips/tricks? I just grabbed some yeast and some unbleached flour to try to make some. Never used yeast before either.

I've made pizza dough a few times but it always ends up tasting alot like the flour. I usually just buy premade dough and go from there. @416jojo those little pizza ovens are rad! I've always been more of a fan of what I'll call chain restaurant pizza, like dominos and so on but you have some crazy delicious looking pie's.
Edit to add: Tips and tricks:
- be patient, make mistakes and learn from them.
- Parchment paper is an excellent training wheel when learning to launch. I still use it if a dough is being wonky or if a pie particularly is heavy with toppings.
- think of time as an ingredient. Fermentation adds flavor and makes the dough easier to work with.
- a baking steel is better than a stone.
I'm constantly fiddling with & tweaking my dough recipe, but here's the current gist of my dough:
Baker's percentages on left (actual amounts in parentheses)
100% Bread flour (708g)
67% water @ 85°F (474g)
2.5% fine sea salt (18g)
0.17% Instant Dry yeast (1g ~about a heaping 1/4 tsp)
4% EVOO (30g, about 2 tbs)
Add yeast to water and stir.
Add water & EVOO to flour and mix until just incorporated. Let sit 20 to hydrate.
Add salt and mix until dough feels smoother and gluten tightens, about 5 mins. Let rest 10 mins.
Fold dough until tight, let rest again.
Fold again. Dough should be smooth and elastic.
5 hour bulk ferment @ ~68°F (room temp of my kitchen in winter) in a covered bowl.
Divide into four 300g balls.
Rest another 3 hours @ room temp if using same day.
Or put in fridge upto 48hrs (best after 24).
Take out 3 hours before baking to allow warm up.
Set oven to 550°F and preheat at least an hour.

Gotta try it! I enjoy it very much! It's a very different experience then being on a boat. You're right next to the water, and you can explore narrow, shallow areas that boats just can't go. I love moving over mere inches of water depth.
