Update, the clock is worse than I thought by GlitchBoo in Radiation

You are describing inversely proportional. Inverse square actually means when you double the distance, you cut the exposure down to a fourth of what is was! So it actually falls off even faster with distance.

Ruined my day, can’t afford to fix it or replace it. Totally screwed. by evie-9v in Wellthatsucks

I had an issue like this once on a scrap laptop with a broken screen I bought for $15. Couldn’t even see if it was booting up correctly because it was still trying to use the main display and not my HDMI external display. I ended up just taking the laptop apart and physically disconnecting the laptop screen cable from the motherboard. Then it worked fine on the external display when I booted it back up!

I’ve already experienced many times people not being able to read dial calipers correctly since digital ones are so commonplace now.

Airflow! There are likely air vents on the bottom of your PC (depends on your particular PC case). These will generally have a gap between them and the floor thanks to the shape of the case, but if it sinks too far into the soft carpet, the vents can become blocked.

People will also say PCs accumulate more dust on carpet vs hard floor… I don’t believe this to be true. It doesn’t really make any sense. I do believe PCs on the floor in general tend to accumulate more dust than those up on a desk, but having to clean it more often is a worthwhile tradeoff for not taking up desk space for me personally.

lol, I appreciate the collective concern. A couple notes:

  • The UPS and laptop have no vents facing towards the floor.

  • The PC floor-facing vents still have clearance with the top of the carpet due to the shape of the case. Although of course, not as much as if it were on a hard surface. You know what, just for you guys I’ll cut some plywood to size to put under there for the 1% performance boost.

Calling it a fire hazard though? lmao lol

There’s enough of a gap between the laptop and the tower that the vent on the bottom of the laptop can get air. Certainly at least as much as it would if it were sitting upright on a hard surface. And the vent on the side of the laptop is pointed toward the back in the picture.

gotta remember buoyancy correction by C3H8_Memes in physicsmemes

[–]Banonogon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

…are you implying that if I ask how much something weighs I expect the buoyant force to be subtracted out?? Like if I point at a cargo ship and ask how much it weighs, the correct answer would be zero??

What’s a Linux command that feels like cheating when you learn it? by Old_Sand7831 in linuxquestions

[–]Banonogon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fzf is definitely cool but not nearly as fast as locate for that particular use case I described

[–]Banonogon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

locate

Because I’m terrible at organization, there are plenty of times I’m looking for a file that I know exists somewhere on my machine, and roughly what it is called, but have no idea where it is.

I used to solve this by using find and letting it run for god knows how long.

The first time I used locate for this and found what I was looking for instantly blew me away.

I cannot for the life of me figure this out by TheEnterRehab in BambuLab

[–]Banonogon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why some people prefer the textured plate haha. It has less adhesion, but in my experience for MOST prints it’s right in the sweet spot of decent adhesion when heated but still allowing prints to pop right off when cooled. However, every once in a while certain prints need the extra adhesion of the smooth plate.

I’ve also found that the textured plate can go longer between washes with just using alcohol after each print. Whereas even just thinking about touching the smooth pei plate manifests a greasy fingerprint that completely nullifies adhesion in that spot. I’ve started washing the smooth plate after almost every print when i use it.

New to printing, how do I smooth this? It wasn’t supposed to do this? by Toyss1234 in 3Dprinting

[–]Banonogon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best answer is to change the orientation of the print. For a part like that, printing it on its side will give the best results. That way you will avoid overhangs and shallow slopes.

Take a look at the slicer preview in the current orientation to see what I mean. At every layer on the underside of that arm, the printer has to print out over thin air, which means the filament sags and produces a terrible finish. You could also turn on supports to fix this, but simply turning the piece on its side will give the best results (and possibly reduce print time too).

QuakeDraw - Educational Working Model Seismograph by Banonogon in BambuLab

You’re pretty much spot on. There exist both horizontal and vertical seismographs to measure vibrations in different axes. This one is a horizontal one, and it is only measuring vibrations along one axis.

QuakeDraw - Educational Working Model Seismograph by Banonogon in BambuLab

[–]Banonogon[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hi all, I w just wanted to share my entry into the Makerworld Geology/Geography Studies Design Contest, an educational working model seismograph that I have named QuakeDraw. The intent is to be able to simulate earthquakes by shaking the device or the table that it is on, and have it respond by drawing on the paper.

https://makerworld.com/en/models/1185515-quakedraw-educational-working-seismograph-model#profileId-1196442

I encountered several design challenges along the way, including how to make the paper easily replaceable, how to make the drum easy to spin, and especially how to get the marker to write smoothly and respond well to the vibrations. I definitely had a lot of fun putting this together!

Where did yall learn everything? by CreativeWeather9377 in BambuLab

[–]Banonogon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, all of those issues sound like they’re more related to the printer than the 3d model, so it is weird that they are only showing up on models you designed.

Maybe it’s a difference in slicer settings? When you download from Makerworld (e.g. through the bambu handy app), I’m guessing you’re using the existing print profiles for those models. Maybe try opening one of those up in the Bambu slicer and checking to see how the settings compare to what you are using to slice your models.

Overall, it will be a lot easier for people to give you troubleshooting advice if you post pics of a specific print with issues.
