If you can buy and sell bikes over the next few months I think you'll make some extra money. Right now they are becoming really hard to get with orders taking 2 - 3 months where I'm based.
I find this to be bizarre since bikes don't really go bad or wear out, from over the last 40 years there should be thousands of surplus bikes on the market.

Any idea why this is?

Instead of a laser gauge, you could try using a camera hooked up with some edge detection software and use that to estimate the width. It probably wouldn't be as accurate, but it would definitely be cheaper.
You'd be looking at very subtle variations in the color of single pixels, so you might as well just use a single optical sensor and light source into a single high res adc, using intensity to measure thickness. At some point dust in the air will be a limiting factor.
They use a laser pointer to measure width of a hair.

That brings up a question: What can you do to earn $50 in 24 hours? Unless you already have mturk the waiting period is days to weeks if you're not rejected. Fiverr/Upwork would all require a large amount of luck to make $50 in one day as communication with client and turn-around time could take 12-24 hours before even starting a small one hour project. CL might be the best way to make that money in that time period…
I have had to make $100 in a couple hours with almost no avenue to do so. Here are the 2 different things I did multiple times each that show it IS possible to make money using just your creativity. 1. Went to Goodwill store (second hand store for those that dont know it.) Took pictures of the office furniture available. Posted to CL in my city at a price $10 to $20 more than it cost to buy. Subject line: "Price redu…
Damn, that sounds horrible.
> Subject line: "Price reduced by 30%".
It sounds like a part of sales is about lying to people then? Or obscuring relationships/sources?

> It's trivial to get the quality right. Is it really? I've looked into this a good bit myself and it seems that many who have tried this have trouble keeping the diameter consistent. I suspect that if it really was trivial, then you'd think just about any commercial supplier could get it right, there's a lot of junk filament out there. Maybe you are just very good at it; +-0.02 is pretty good even by commercial stan…
>Is it really? I've looked into this a good bit myself and it seems that many who have tried this have trouble keeping the diameter consistent. If you'll check my medium post, I've linked a video where I am extruding filament. Problem with those hobbyist machines is motor torque/power rating. And second, they don't use a special screw and barrel. The motor used in professional extruders used in real filament factorie…
