Prusa Mk4s + Enclosure
  • I have a MK4. I elected to get the kit for $850 and build it myself, I'm an electronics technician so it was pretty easy to justify getting it as I knew I could build it.

    I built the Lack enclosure for mine and have had great success with it. I've also added a different buffer for my MMU3 along with a Nevermore filter as the latest additions for my enclosure.

    It definitely takes up more space than the normal enclosure, but I'm very happy with it. I'd recommend the lack enclosure just because cost savings is so worth it.

  • 128GB baseline storage for the Pixel 9 Pro XL feels stingy, huh?
  • Yeah my mom convinced me to trade-in my 8 and just get the Pro model.

    I have/had a 6, but the battery became extra spicy and I haven't gotten around to getting a replacement.

    My Pixel 2 is still happily kicking though, no swelling and still turns on. Though the battery doesn't last long at all.

    They quoted like $450-$490 for my Pixel 8, but I imagine it's going to be even less as the screen is still flashing green. Even though they're doing warranty replacements on the P8 because of that, I'm betting they're going to use it as an excuse to slash the value off the trade-in.

  • 128GB baseline storage for the Pixel 9 Pro XL feels stingy, huh?
  • Yeah it's absolutely awful. I haven't checked out the trade-in pricing. I haven't ever tried that before, I was considering trading in my pixel 8, but I like having a spare in case something happens to my main phone and it needs to be repaired.

    But yes, I agree it is a bad look.

  • 128GB baseline storage for the Pixel 9 Pro XL feels stingy, huh?
  • Agreed. I desperately wanted a Pixel phone with 1TB, when I saw that not only is the Pro available in a normal size model this year, BUT with a 1TB option I got excited...until I saw that it adds $500 to the base price of the phone, bringing it to a whopping $1499.

    I'm gonna wait and see what the pricing looks like on Black Friday. I was originally wanting to keep my Pixel 8 until support ran out, but I'm already over half full on my 256gb, and my screen is having the green screen issues. I know I can get it warrantied, but the 1tb normal sized Pro is just a tempting option.

  • They made her hot not scary...
  • Yeah the Bishoujo series by Kotobukiya does that. They take everything and turn them into anime girls.

    Optimus Prime

    Starscream

    Megatron

    Geralt of Rivia

    No one is safe from the waifu beam.

  • In 1 hour, Gura and Fauna are "racing" in Dark Souls: Remastered
  • Yeah, I can understand. I definitely wanted to help them as well.

    I am worried that fans may get a little over eager with wanting them to play again. During one of Fauna's recent streams, she expressed concern about how passionate the Dark Souls fanbase was and that she wouldn't be able to live up to their expectations, making her apprehensive about playing again.

  • Printable make posting locked behind purchase?
  • Had this happen as well with the GR86 trunk handle file that's on there as well. I made a make, tried to mark it as such, but was given the same error. Like with your case, the creator doesn't have an option for purchase/support.

  • What are y'all watching this season?
  • As a light novel reader, they did an amazing job with Eighty Six. I could not be happier with it, the only thing about the anime I don't like is that they never gave it a season 2.

    I really want to see my favorite character animated.

  • beat up that brat
  • He's the creepy little shit from My Hero Academia. A character so horny that no "horny jail" would be able to contain him. He was always trying to molest or sexually abuse every female character he came across.

    Like at one point, the main character rescued a very young girl (Eri) from a criminal organization that was emotionally and physically (non-sexual) abusing her. The live-in school that the characters go to accepted Eri so that they could give her a better living environment and take care of her.

    The literal first words Mineta said to her were "Hi, my name's Mineta, and I can't wait to see what you look like when you grow up."

  • VSO! Ikea Drawer Stopper Fix
  • My first VSO was a clip for this garnish/trim for some blinds my mom had. Due to the way the blinds fit in this specific window, my mom couldn't use the factory hardware to fix the garnish to the blinds, so for the longest time she was using adhesives which would fail over time. One day (shortly before my printer arrived) the garnish fell again and almost hit my cat, my mom expressed frustration over it, and over how she would have to go by more adhesives. I reminded her that I'm getting a printer, I could just make something that would mount it permanently.

    My second one was two mounts for my IKEA lack enclosure. I wanted to make a Nevermore filter, so I needed a power supply. Thanks to working at an electronics lab, I managed to score the power supply from a server rack PC. It's absolute overkill for this, but it came out looking pretty clean, even modeled in a mounting hole for a simple toggle switch so I can activate the power supply without having to plug/unplug the unit.

  • Word of warning to those with Prusa MK4 and Satin beds. There is a chance that the auto bed leveler will mess up and destroy your print surface.
  • The printer won't do any leveling with a fully heated nozzle.

    The MK4's we use at work and my personal MK4 all heat up to 170 before bed leveling, and if you previously swapped filaments before leveling, the printer will pause and wait until the nozzle has cooled down to the target range before initiating bed leveling.

  • Need help finding a large dehydrator
  • Yeah, this stuff is already pretty brittle to start with, but once it's been out in the air for a day or two it becomes even more brittle. You can easily snap it with the slightest effort.

    It's pretty tedious to work with, but we have to use it.

  • Need help finding a large dehydrator
  • We have access to a decent amount of tools at the lab, it's definitely feasible. We tossed around the idea, and honestly I may prefer that to a food dehydrator as all of the dehydrators I've seen have a cut off timer whereas the filament dryers we have can be run indefinitely.

    I'll have to pitch that to my boss and see what he thinks. I've seen some people convert some water proof/resistant totes from Target to become filament dryers.

  • Need help finding a large dehydrator

    Hey guys, I work at a lab that has a small print farm. We recently had to get a supply of 2.5kg ESD filament as our vendor didn't have the usual 1kg spools in stock. The problem is these new spools are massive, and our filament dryers are nowhere near big enough to accommodate them.

    I have this Cosori food dehydrator at home (picture below) that I've repurposed for filament drying, and I brought in one of its segments to see if the spool would fit inside; but the spool was still too large.

    The spool dimensions are 3.875"H and a diameter of 11.75". Does anyone know of any food dehydrators that would be large enough to accommodate a spool of this size?

    I'm currently doing research to see if I can find a large enough dehydrator, but all of the manufacturers I've so far looked at seem to only give external dimensions, not internal. If anyone knows of a good dehydrator, it would really help out!

    RCS issues on Pixel 8?

    Hey guys, just got my Pixel 8 in. Set up has been really fluid so far, was very surprised to see that the phone even handled transferring my eSIM for me.

    Anyways, the one annoying snag I'm running into is Android Messages claims my Pixel 8 is not compatible with RCS features. I've tried clearing storage on both Carrier Services and Android Messages, turning my SIM off/on, power reboots. Nothing works, this app is dead set on saying the Pixel 8 isn't RCS compatible.

    Any other Pixel 8 owners running into the same issue?

    UPDATE:

    Well, I don't know what I did/didn't do, but RCS just started working its own. Technology is a fickle thing.

    Really dumb questions about learning guitar (sorry)

    Hey guys, I'm sorry if this post comes across as super dumb but I was just wanting to ask for some advice about learning electric guitar.

    Over a decade ago I inherited a guitar from a friend who took his life, I tried learning it at first but ended up getting distracted by life and dropped it. Recently though I saw it sitting and collecting dust and decided that, even if it was a cheap electric guitar, I didn't want it to spend its life like that.

    So yesterday I got some new strings, a new (and better) amplifier than the $20 one I bought secondhand over a decade ago, and a couple books about guitars, one of them being a book with nothing but like 300+ different chords, I also fixed the intonation on the bridge.

    So here's my questions:

    I'm looking to try and play punk rock music (All American Rejects, My Chemical Romance, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, stuff with that kind of sound). What chords should I focus on learning that would be good for that kind of genre?

    And I'm guessing the chords are can be played by strumming all of the strings together at once or you can play the notes individually, one after the other?

    Sorry again if this post is really dumb, I really want to try and make sure I don't drop this guitar again, I'd like to properly honor my friend's memory and give this guitar the attention it deserves.
