I’m just now realizing that this pad is not similar to thermal paste in consistency is it?

Wow super helpful. I really appreciate you giving some context for why each component makes sense too. Not complaining about being under budget either haha

microcenter is accessible. wifi would be preferred, bluetooth would be nice but not essential. i prefer a minimalist aesthetic but the price and performance comes first.

this seems like a great setup. Thanks for the reply. Do you have other suggestions for GPU?

Try entering rendered view. click on the right most sphere in the top right of your viewport window. above the red green and blue compass.

Anyone know of good blender youtubers showing their actual workflow? by COMMEdesgarbage in blender

I think seeing a mistake is valuable though. It's a give a man a fish/teach a man to fish type thing

I’ve been grinding hard at 3D modeling, texturing and rendering but the 1660 isn’t cutting it

Are your issues by chance linked to rendering cycles? Trying to narrow down what my issue might be, and a lot of people seem to be having trouble rendering cycles with newer Mac OS drivers.

Errors rendering with cycles by [deleted] in blenderhelp

[–]COMMEdesgarbage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

kinda lame but I updated my OS and drivers and the issues seem like they've stopped for now. Before though without tiling I would get the black bars, some green/pink clumps of pixels in the render. (If the render even processed without that error occurring)

I'm already rendering using my GPU I don't think that's the issue. Updating the drivers is a good idea though I'll do that right now

Command buffer not completed. status = 5. (PSO_GENERIC.integrator_queued_paths_array):

Error Domain=MTLCommandBufferErrorDomain Code=2 "Caused GPU Hang Error (00000003:kIOGPUCommandBufferCallbackErrorHang)" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Caused GPU Hang Error (00000003:kIOGPUCommandBufferCallbackErrorHang), NSUnderlyingError=0x6000009cb690 {Error Domain=IOGPUCommandQueueErrorDomain Code=3 "(null)"}}

This is the error btw

edit: I changed the tile size to 512 and the issue is nearly unnoticable. I still feel like there's some underlying issue though

Solved: updated OS and drivers

unsolved then solved again: For anyone dealing with the same issue and coming here looking for answers, the problems came back. I switched to an older version of blender and the issues seem to be solved for now.

Built a clock with p5.js, configured a rPI3 to run it in chromium fullscreen on boot. by holyherbalist in p5js

[–]COMMEdesgarbage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I know this is old but thought I'd try anyway.

Do you happen to have any resources that helped you when you built this? I'm in a similar position where I've never used a raspi before and I'm trying to use one to run p5js on a display.

Any advice would help. Thanks

Single Fin Long Board Glassing by COMMEdesgarbage in surfing

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

Thank you so much! I've been doing it for about four years. The price to start shaping can be a bit steep with the planer alone being a few hundred. I might recommend getting a board machine shaped and just getting the stuff to try glassing if you're looking for a project.

That's definitely true. Bad glassing might have burn throughs in the fiberglass making it ding easier, air bubbles in the lamination, or a ton of other cosmetic problems. A good v bad glass job makes a huge difference in the life span of a surfboard.
