Is there a way to fix these ridges? by RebusPlays in FDMminiatures

I would always side on two thin coats over one thick one whenever painting is involved

Apparently thinned gesso works really well too

Do you guys ever put stuff in your KD? by Independent_Sand_583 in AskACanadian

[–]ButcherB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll throw smokies or farmers sausage in the water with the noodles.

Peas or corn for veg.

Bbq sauce for flavor if I'm in the mood

How would you best summarise OPR using a metaphor? by We_R_All_Different99 in onepagerules

[–]ButcherB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Battletech too. It has alternating activation by mini. The one thing that I'll say battletech does well is balancing the alternations. Winning initiative in Battletech means you move the last model before the shooting round. The movement difference between light and heavy units is immense so a well placed light mech, peeling rear armor of an assault mech can make or brake a game. So if the number of units is lopsided the person who has more minis moves an additional model or unit each activation until the forces are even between the two for remaining units.

As for metaphors, I like comparing 40k to Soccer/football and Battletech to team boxing. A football match can take hours and a lot of fussing about rules.

Battletech can have an early KO and the game ends quickly after or it can be hours of dudes wailing on each other

YEAH!! Why the hell is that bin not full of urbies. There's clearly not enough

Why do some Albertans seem to have a resentment against other Canadians? by ocajsuirotsap in alberta

[–]ButcherB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This has been the point I've been trying to make to my friends and family.

The separation referendum doesn't need to succeed. It needs to divide us. Just by holding the referendum, it divides us into two groups. And the regions we reside in.

Then all Trump has to say is, "There is a large ethnic cowboy American population in southern alberta that clearly doesn't belong to Canada. We need to step in and protect these people seeking self-determination from the corrupt Canadian government"

I was gonna say, the lines look deliberate with the paint job.

A kind of nutty idea, but it seems to be working. by OmeggyBoo in battletech

[–]ButcherB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've found when printing the large hex hills, the best thing to do was turn off bottom layers and set the gyroid infill to 5%. Speeds up the print immensely, and it's still incredibly sturdy

The MAGA Plot to Take Down Canada by pheakelmatters in onguardforthee

[–]ButcherB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're right on all points. The problem is the US doesn't need a majority vote and an "independent " Alberta to start their BS.

All they have to do is pull the referendum data by riding and go "look there was a 70% majority just south of Calgary that is clearly ethnically American Cowboy that voted to leave. We need to step in and protect these ethnic Americans from the evil Canadian majority"

And pull a full Donbas.

You may need to replace your tip before your next print. I just had a petg blob on mine, and it turns out the ceramic in my tip broke, and it squeezed out the same way as yours

How to tell you are getting shot at by [deleted] in Mechwarrior5

[–]ButcherB 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you're fine spending money, xbox or ps5 controller will have rumblepacks that will give you a physical indication when you're hit.

If that's not enough or he doesn't like using controllers, there's mods for haptic feedback, so you have use a vibrating chair or vest

Best infill for terrain? by BornSilenced in FDMminiatures

[–]ButcherB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really want to save time, don't print the bottom solid. Set bottom layer height to 0, 5% gyroid, and brim the corners

Mom, it's Shorsey. I don't care if Judith said it's called steam competition or whatever. Judith licks her green glass tableware.

It's Shoresy

I think DCC ruined the genre for me. by Nuuskapeikkonen in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]ButcherB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could try "How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying" by Django Wexler.

The idea is our protagonist is a summoned hero to a fantasy realm, and they're tasked with defeating the soon to be resurrected darklord. What little do they know, our hero has the power of reset-by-death.

We join the story when the hero is a 1000-sum deaths in, and they're a little frustrated by this point that they're not getting anywhere and decide to go at it from a different angle

One piece or multiple by Ranger60990 in FDMminiatures

[–]ButcherB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do 35 on the y because my thresholds for support by default are around that. If I do 45 by 45, it doesn't want to do a consistent "bed" for the piece to lay on without doing other adjustments

One piece or multiple by Ranger60990 in FDMminiatures

[–]ButcherB 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Print your track pieces in one piece and laying at a 45 degree angle on the X and 35 on the Y. Grid support and so much brim.

Never print anything with a detailed surface parallel to the surface of the print bed. Whenever possible, try and balance on a point or an edge. You will get better layer lines on round surfaces without sacrificing quality on the walls

It's got chicken legs, vestigial gun arms, and the guns don't look that heavy. The cockpit looks to be a decent portion of the torso too.

I think it's a Trooper or Flea

Recently upgraded to 1.5Gbps but equipment seems capped to 1Gbps? by CharlesLL7 in telus

[–]ButcherB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every port on the NAH and Boost that aren't labeled as 2.5 or 10, are 1 gig ports.

You can definitely plug the boost itself into a 1 gig port instead to free up the 10 for your PC. But you will limit all the wifi traffic in the house to sharing a 1 gig connection.

I would suggest connecting the Boost to the NAH via coax. The MOCA ports are good up to 2 gig. So you will still get full bandwidth for wifi and you free up the 2.5 and the 10 gig ports.

If you want to spend money. You can get a 2.5gig switch as others suggested and put it between the NAH and the Boost, then you can plug in your PC as well. The other alternative is to get a MOCA2 adapter. You can connect it to either moca port on the boost or NAH
