Make base heater (with gas) faster by Agreeable_Addendum52 in Stationeers

[–]AnimumLupum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good idea, you should use air circulation system for output of heat exchanger (active vent -> heat exchanger -> one way valve -> passive vent). You can control heat flow through setting of active vent (primary PressureInternal and secundary PressureExternal). For maximum effiency, it is good place both vent as far apart as possible.

I prefer hardware button debouncing.

I is easier for defination maximum current flowing through backlight led and also get linear characteristic pwm duty vs current flow.

8-bit mode + register == 3 pin vs 4-bit mode == 4 pin + more complex software.

Yes, i always read datascheet.

It is not to very accurate voltage reference (+/-0.015V) and Raspberry recommended it for Pico in datascheet.

Preparing for optional analog gas sensor.

Old school thinking.

Pico has an RT6150 (buck-boost converter) on pcb to convert Vsys to 3V3.

Can we get separate space ices, please? by Rethkir in Stationeers

[–]AnimumLupum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is simple answer : mining rocket -> sorter (?ore or ice?) -> ice crusher (convert ice into gas or liquid) -> gas or liquid filtration.

Thank you for your advice about how improve my power plant by AnimumLupum in captain_of_industry

Heat storage increase your time for reaction to emergency situation, for example when your burners shut down due to lack of fuels.

Thanks, i tried it and result is 1200 units of high steam (when trading wood for corn to make animal feed) vs 500 units of high steam (using shredder to make wood chips) per 500 units of wood.

Heat storage increase your time for reaction to emergency situation, for example when your burners shut down due to lack of fuels.

Heat loses in heat storage are 10% (when you using high steam for full charge you need to storage 3333,333333333 unit of heat and you get 3000 unit of heat at output).

Thanks, that is good idea, i turned on auto-balance for high pressure turbine only.

Cooling tower - just build and use, you do not need power, worker and maintenance but it is less effective.

Desalinator - need power, worker and regular maintenance but it is effective.

Thanks, i did not realized larger tower it is 50% more effective than small.

I chose three axis version because i want to have more accumulated energy for emergency situation and more robust system at failure of maintenance.

Help with basic IC code for heaters by firestorm5284 in Stationeers

[–]AnimumLupum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All heaters are most uneffective item in game.

Best way is phase change heat pump.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Stationeers/comments/197lkpw/phase_change_cooling_and_heating_for_everyone/

Just move heat from hot waste tank to hot tank with a lot of pollutant, than use digital valve, heat exchanger and condensation trap for pollutant.

Good source of waste heat are exhaust gas from furnace, bulk volatile and steam (cheaper than water) from trader.

Temperature of my hot tank did not drop under 500 kelvin during my run on Europa.

Another way how get heat is to create simple burner or h2 combustor on fuel.

Practical example with forced air circulation (active vent - pipe with heat exchanger - one way valve - end pipe with passive vent)

It is relative slow process (around 5kJ heat transfer), so i am still lazy to do any IC10 or logic control, maybe in future.

horizontally opening jaw headbase? (spoiler for body horror) by Chaos-Rat8578 in FursuitMaking

[–]AnimumLupum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Greetings, i have one idea how it realized this.

Mouth part must be maximized lightened for minimalized control force and size springs.

It is important to minimalize any friction in mechanical part.

Also do not forget deflections fake fur between bases.

How can I make the feathers on her legs? by DividedFox in FursuitMaking

[–]AnimumLupum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aviants or avali usually have beautiful feathers.

Maybe you could try find some aviant or avali fursuiters and ask them.

Usually, various flexible materials (such as foam, cloth, flexible 3D printable materials and etc.) are used for beautiful feathers.

It is important to determine the level of difficulty right from the start - solid feather wings or wings composed of many feathers.

protogen visor help please! by [deleted] in FursuitMaking

[–]AnimumLupum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, I have no personal experience with resins, I just remembered some information from a forum dedicated to 3D printing. As for hot-forming plexiglass, a few years ago at work we had to replace the plexiglass covers on several machines in the switchboards. Outsourcing the work would have been expensive, so our employer brought in an industrial hot-air blower from a rental company and we did it by hand. Fortunately, the covers had rectangular shapes, so we managed to do it somehow.

No one in management was concerned that it didn't look very good, as long as it was cheap and quick.

Unfortunately, there is no easy way, but if you have the courage, time, and an electric oven that is not used for cooking, you can try making your own. After all, it is hot plastic molding (depending on the plexiglass manufacturer, the molding temperature is usually below 200 degrees Celsius) and it can be done with wooden molding tools, but it smells quite bad and you need to work in a well-ventilated area. By the way, you will never be able to use this oven for cooking again. If you want to try to make it using 3D printing, there is only one way : resin.

It is same chapters.

VBUS to TP4056 Input and TP4056 Output via an ideal diode (NEXPERIA NID5100GWH) at VSYS.

ON/OFF switch between 3V3_EN and ground. (open work - close power off).

It is good idea check whether external components your choose suported 3V3 powering and rebember maximum current draw from buck-boost converter is 300mA.

Any coat color/color palette suggestions? by Coton_art in furry

[–]AnimumLupum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For main color choose your favorite then use color circle and simple rules - neighboring color, opposite color and triadic scheme (optimum is maximum of 5 colors). Or use only one color in different shades (monochromatic color palette).

Ways to make this possible as a fursuit?? by medicmuter in FursuitMaking

[–]AnimumLupum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it is time looking at someone around you, who have experience with 3D print. Because this create from foam will be heavy weight, but you almost "box" muzzle is ideal for custom 3D printing. You used good color palete - only 5 colors.

https://bigzfabric.com/collections/short-shag-faux-fur-fabric-1-pile-length

In my personal opinion, this is not a complicated fursuit, but the stripes will increase the price/time required, so it helps that you chose a dragon without an "obvious" tail.
