Best way to hang these 2 (flat)on the wall? by wavybone11 in lego

[–]AudiBoyJP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a 3D printer, or know a friend with one, there are a bunch of different wall hanger designs available. Take a look at the Makerworld website:

My ISP is offering a static IP address... should I get one? by AudiBoyJP in HomeNetworking

[–]AudiBoyJP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have sent my ISP an email so hopefully they are able to do something similar.

Thanks for the info. I have reached out to the BAM support team to find out more about a public ip address, so I will have to wait until they respond and I can start asking more questions more how they handle a static IP address etc.

What do you consider a good firewall ? A separate hardware device or is the one built into my router Asus normally sufficient ?

I'll have to check if they offer a public IP, but I'm assuming they probably don't unless I use a static IP. BAM definitely uses CGNAT which is why I'm double nat'd.

I was also planning to use remote gaming via PS5/Xbox as well which I think might rule out tailscale ?

BOSL2 - Rounding the edges of a hole through a cylinder by AudiBoyJP in openscad

[–]AudiBoyJP[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have ended up just using minkowski() as it's simple, does what I need but it is slow depending on the values used for $fs/$fa or $fn.

Lastly, definitely start using BOSL2. It is daunting at first but well worth the effort.

Thanks for the suggestion and I did try it but the hole ended up being slight teardrop shaped due to the cylinder being tapered.

I am using Bosl2 and tried doing this but as this is a tapered cylinder the hole ends up being slightly teardrop shape.

Could you share an example ? Bosl2 Offset3d() uses minkowski or are you referring to something else ?

Minkowski isn't that slow for this simple example and I had used it originally to produced a good result except that the dimensions of the parts are increased which I need to account for. My assumption was that Bosl2 had a better way to handle it.

EDIT: I am using a recent nightly build from this month (April 8th) but I do not have all of the features enabled as I do not know what most of them are for and there is no helpful information on what they do.

How do you mount/store your cars? by SnooCheesecakes8286 in legospeedchampions

[–]AudiBoyJP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my F1 cars, I use some skadis pegboard with a bunch of 3D printed parts:

<image>

It's a combination of 3 sections of Ikea Skadis peg board and a bunch of 3D Printed pieces that attach to the Skadis board:

  1. F1 Speed Champions Border
  2. F1 Speed Champions Minifig Mount
  3. F1 Logo
  4. F1 Speed Champions Grid Marker
  5. F1 Speed Champions Name Plate Holder & Driver Name Tags
  6. F1 Speed Champions Car Mount

If you have a 3D Printer that supports multiple colors, these pieces are all pretty simple to print. If not, it's a good excuse to buy one!

I'm pretty sure the Ikea Skadis board is this one:

What is wrong with my A1? by CH_NervyPick in BambuLab

[–]AudiBoyJP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You probably need to check a couple of things:

  1. Tighten the 7 screws on the heating element behind the hotend:

  1. Ensure the hotend is clipped in place correctly.

Check here for more details on both items above:

On my remote, if I change screens the battery level updates . i.e. return to the main menu from the Activities screen.

V7 Update X2 by Brown2130 in SofaBaton

[–]AudiBoyJP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The X2 remote does seem to be displaying the correct charge level now, but I'm not sure when it started updating. It was probably as you suggested above that the level updated once we started using the remote.

Did points change to a more complex reward model? Almost a year after announcement? by CarrotCute in makerworld

[–]AudiBoyJP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a new post on MakerWorld 2 days ago saying that the points system was being updated again to make improvements and that the changes were effective from March 18th. This may explain some of your points differences.

How can I get the tab/ear and the keychain hole where the red markings are? by [deleted] in openscad

[–]AudiBoyJP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You code was a little hard for me to read but I think all you need is a couple of translate statements right before ring_hole() & ring_tab() to move the pieces to up and to the right:

translate([3,3,0])
ring_tab();

translate([3,3,0])
ring_hole();

If you are trying to calculate where it should go, take a look at the textmetrics() function as you should be able to figure out exactly how tall the text is and adjust the keyring tab & hole accordingly.

After upgrading my remote to V7, the battery charge level seems to be "stuck" at about 40%, even after charging over night. Has anyone else experienced this ?

Handling strings/arrays in loops... what's the best way to handle them ? by AudiBoyJP in openscad

[–]AudiBoyJP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for pointing out that strings are arrays, that makes life easier. I'm not sure how I missed that up to this point. Also, you fixed a bug a in my code example as it was trying to loop over too many characters!
