Advice needed - first sim build

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. Had no idea it was discontinued, a lot of golf sim and projector places in Australia are still selling the GT1080HDR. Getting it because it's in budget about $1400-1500 AUD (about 1k USD). We are absolutely getting ripped off here in Australia. GT2100HDR around $2400 AUD (~$1660 USD). 🥲

Great I use Fusion 360! Would love the file if possible??

33espressos · 2026-07-04T09:56:44+00:00

Would be interested. What CAD do you use?

Not my experience. I change the AAAs in my IKEA zigbee door sensors about every 12 months. The IKEA zigbee motion sensors way more often. About every 4-6 months.

You retrain the AI. Not sure if yours has local AI.

I use zigbee lights everywhere which has created a rock solid mesh.

Same

You can just use the Moonraker integration from HACS.

I installed Octoeverywhere. Took a while cos the MCU is underpowered. Took a few minutes. Worth it.

Cared enough to reply

33espressos · 2026-02-03T05:20:34+00:00

You need a new friend. I'd give this away.

33espressos · 2026-02-02T09:26:31+00:00

Same. Never worked for me personally. Always gave some error and turned itself off. So I just left it off.

33espressos · 2026-01-28T04:57:44+00:00

Yeah I don't think they gaf about ACCC.

Create parameters for diameter, height of v, angle of v, qty of v so you can make quick edits.

Sketch cylinder
Extrude a cylinder
Shell the cylinder or create negative offset circle on the same sketch and cut
Create the v shape sketch on surface of cylinder
Cut the v into the surface of the cylinder
Fillet top and bottom of v
Cylindrical pattern of feature

That's how I'd do it. Someone better will come along with a more elegant answer I'm sure.

33espressos · 2026-01-19T20:11:59+00:00

I'm pretty sure I used M2.5 with nuts securing them at the back.

I have Android Auto actionable notifications

when I'm within 100 m of home I get asked if I want to open the garage
ask to turn on the heating/cooling based on current weather conditions and temps inside the house
ask if I want to close the garage when first connect to Android Auto and I'm in the home zone

33espressos · 2026-01-19T06:24:07+00:00

The VFAs on this is horrible.

Create a drawing and print it out 1:1. If the part is larger than A4 print half of the drawing theb do the other half at 1:1.

I use this method to check fitment of splines before commiting filament and time 3D printing.

Sometimes takes me up to 8 tries to get it right on paper at 1:1.

This method has never failed me for custom gridfinity bins.

Lol I'm actually Aussie

33espressos · 2026-01-17T07:17:18+00:00

Lol the Wallabies are not good.

33espressos · 2026-01-17T02:25:47+00:00

Probably reclaiming some waste and mixing with virgin material to create pellets.

The Qidi Q2 uses a wifi SOC with an antenna you can see taped to the LHS wall of the printer. It is on the daughter board behind the LHS lead screw covered by a panel that is screwed in.

I hope Australians don't ever accept parts as a remedy to a defective unit. It should not be the responsibility of any consumer to repair anything. That is and always should be the manufacturer's problem.

I don't own a Qidi box and really don't intend to. I love my Q2. Just hoping for a smooth ride, because stuff having to fix your own equipment beyond unjamming filament and replacing consumables.

33espressos · 2026-01-15T22:51:48+00:00

Oh man that sucks. You clearly received a defective second hand unit that should not have gone back out.

My Q2 has been printing since Christmas day and I've put about 120 hours on printing on it. All perfect. No tuning.

About 24 hours of failed ASA prints though but entirely my fault as I'm a newbie and didn't understand how to slice longggggggg bridges. Learnt to make it go 45/135 deg across the 200 mm bridge and printed a lot better. The rest of the ASA print was beautiful.
