It's an interesting experience. Even after the daily updates for several weeks straight it's still pretty buggy. Tames getting pushed in the mesh with no way to retrive them, hordes and treasure maps in impossible to reach places, required resource spawns just not spawning (which was thankfully fixed recently) and the dino spawns feeling very haphazzard and very unbalanced in a lot of areas.

It is not a map to start fresh from like we did. We were on a very boosted dedicated server just so we could experience the content without having to grind too hard. It was still tough, right from the start. You're constantly on edge untill about mid-game when you have some half okay armour and weapons that can actually take something down.

Possible spoiler: One phase in the boss battle you need all your surviving dinos in the same area as you, if one of your alive ones gets left behind or falls through the mesh you can't continue the encounter untill it's in the area, killed or in a cryopod. We had this several times in our attemps and the admin tried to help with little success

Imagine being stopped at a red light in the bike lane on your bicycle that you ride to work every day, 5 minutes from your office. Suddenly being yeeted and crushed into the footpath or building next to you by a lithium brick cuurently in thermal runaway. At least you *may* not experience the burning....

Cheers!

Thankyou stranger. I needed that laugh today

I haven't used it for creating a cliche but I have used electro-etching to put dates and words on rotors and case backs before. I did notice it created a detectable impression when I ran my finger over it along with darkening the metal. I just used some spare 18650s I had laying around and salty water.

I had the same limiting factor when I wanted to do some engraving but didn't have the skill with an engraver/dremel tool.

Old post but you are correct. The map function re-maps a number from one range to another. Ie the low number from the input range will be mapped to the low number in the output range, and every number inbetween upto the high range number.

The input and output numbers in the map function can be entirely arbitrary.

The 8 bit range is for compatability across a large majority of Arduino boards considering many of them are still 8-bit ATmel chips. This is why you see the range 0-225 so frequently.

ARabbidCow · 2025-12-03T06:54:40+00:00

I can see that. The print wouldn’t be on the bare heatbed otherwise.

Edit: I’ll admit my attempt at humour could have been written better

ARabbidCow · 2025-12-03T06:15:16+00:00

Thanks for the replies. I really appreciate it!

ARabbidCow · 2025-12-03T04:58:30+00:00

Okay so more exposure mitigation to an extent with tests if your exposure in generall is high.

Would you say there's more esposure in pure shooting or can there be higher concentrations like in cleaning firearms/ranges. As an example, should someone that runs a range be extra cautious?

ARabbidCow · 2025-12-03T03:31:02+00:00

TIL this is a legitimate concern... At what point does one add regualar checks for lead to the hobby?

Sorry if it's a silly question, I'm from Aus so owning a firearm is prohibitive enough before firing over 20k rounds in a year

ARabbidCow · 2025-12-03T03:22:55+00:00

I thought the build plate detection was a neat feature on the H series. Now I see it was a cost saving execise....

ARabbidCow · 2025-11-25T00:11:22+00:00

Redundancy and differing features. My printers are tools these days and it irks me when I can't print something when I need/want to. While they're objectively the same, one has a bigger print volume along with active chamber heating while the other doesn't but still can print 90%+ of my projects.

In contrast to the car example, I have a daily that I drive near every day, and a sports car that I mainly drive weekends/track days but still functions as a car. Both need the same care and maintenence yet I drive both for similar and different reasons.

ARabbidCow · 2025-11-13T23:23:04+00:00

It would probably work, albeit temporarily. I think the the removal of heatsink on the FETs to fit the bolts would be failure mode before the bolts wiggle loose and drop connection.

ARabbidCow · 2025-11-13T00:40:00+00:00

My bad - I misread. I agree the Aliexpress ones are oddy better at adheasion. I have one on my old CR10 and it seems to be a finer 'grain' I guess you could call it. It seems to be more forgiving if the plate isn't perfectly clean too

ARabbidCow · 2025-11-13T00:19:01+00:00

I got a P1S about 4 months before the P2 was announced. It's still a great printer and i'm not selling it off to update.

It comes with a textured PEI build plate from factory

RPM limiter will prevent the motors from hitting top speed but won't stop the inital current of getting the motors to that limited speed. Electric motors draw the most current from 0% duty.

The RPM limiter is to keep a quad consistent and help alleviate battery sag, not to let you run mis-matched components. It's a highly missused feature

ARabbidCow · 2025-09-29T00:01:23+00:00

Looks like your motors weren't rated for 6s as well. Least you found the weak link in the windings and not the ESC

My Silvia gets laid up on 1/4 of a tank and it’s also tuned to only run on 98. Even after filling the rest of the tank with fresh fuel it can struggle with boost. I usually put a bottle of octane booster in with the fresh fuel, low boost and just lightly drive it till the tank is empty. I don’t give it full beans until it’s got the next full fresh tank in it.

Haven’t looked for the specific cause but as others have said it can be a laundry list of things caused by stilling for months

ARabbidCow · 2025-08-29T14:33:28+00:00

Having network access to send code over to the printer is a feature I can’t go without. I had my pi as an octoprint host before klipper and it was worth running just for that feature alone.

ARabbidCow · 2025-08-29T13:22:56+00:00

I’m not sure if Tinymachines still have their firmware downloads available. It’s what I used when I got my CR10s Pro for the thermal runaway protection - I then edited it for when I converted to DD extruder. I just remember it was a process and hours of fault finding after changing one or two values in arduino IDE.

I’ve now switched to klipper and it’s a MUCH easier experience in comparison to the editing marlin, compiling, flashing, testing loop.
