I have recently moved over to Rootkit Hunter (rkhunter) instead of using fcheck, one issue that I encountered on all our Ubuntu servers was the error:
Warning: The command '/usr/bin/unhide.rb' has been replaced by a script: /usr/bin/unhide.rb: Ruby script
My daughter wanted a small windmill for a school project, and this was my very quick’n’dirty attempt.
My daughter needed a small bridge for a school project and I couldn’t find anything suitable on-line. This was my very simple design, intended to be fully parametric, but probably only within certain limits.
For more information please:
Having been quoted £250 to replace the halyards and topping lift on my boat, I decided to do it myself, by purchasing the ropes from eBay for £100 and the fids to do the splicing for £33.
Having the fids would then enable me to do the rest of the running rigging: reefing pennants, kicking strap etc.
Having bought an inflatable Avon Redcrest dinghy on eBay, I found that the pump no longer had a clip holding the two halves together. I knew that the older models used to have a piece of leather attached to one half with holes that clipped over screws on the other half, but on this pump only the screws remained.
Finally got around to putting curtains up in our guest room and the curtain rings had been lost. They did eventually turn up, but these printed rings worked perfectly until we did. Yes they’re not pretty, but you really could not tell unless you got close.
My Westerly sailing boat has a rectangular-shaped shorepower socket and the faceplate was broken in half. Given its very exposed position in the cockpit, this is only to be expected, but purchasing a replacement proved very difficult. Fortunately the broken half had been kept by the previous owner, which enabled me to design an exact replica. And the beauty is that it will certainly be broken again, so I have printed a spare.
My mother-in-law’s curtains were pulled down by a Great Dane, breaking many of the curtain hooks. They seemed to be an unusual design and she asked if I might be able to print them on my RepRap.
This was very satisfying design, which did not take long, posed no particular challenges and printed very quickly. If only all jobs were like that.
A friend saw a plastic bag carrier for sale and wondered if I could produce a 3D model suitable for printing. Here was the result. A simple handle with hooks to carry multiple bags at once.
My first ever design was a shock cord toggle, but I have only now had a reason to print it and I am pleased to say that they are working perfectly. Shown here on my dinghy
