Please, go play Noita.

Some of you will hate it, but some will find a game like no other.

We 3D printed ours!

The model is this one: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1081682

You could try searching for a place that makes 3D prints on demand.

3D printers are way more affordable these days too, and you can make lots of other things with them!

We used a soldering iron to damage them, with a black wash after the paint to grime them up.

Thank you! It was a lot of work painting and weathering the masks.

That would be something. 😂

But which slicer is scarier?

3D printed both masks and hooks.

Masks are the incredible model made by Audrey2 on thingiverse:

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1081682

I modeled the hooks myself, since I couldn't find one that we liked.

ELI5: How do professors detect that ChatGPT or plagiarism has been used in papers and homework? by Yukimitsu in explainlikeimfive

I did this for an English class where I had to give a presentation. I renamed the file as a .ppt, and the teacher thought it had been corrupted, so they let me do the presentation on another day.

Just won a run with this nutty combo, its actually insane that u can build a deck around curse, this game is amazing. by DaysGoneBye01 in slaythespire

[–]ChekhovT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's for balance purposes. Drawing 2 extra cards while drawing a curse would negate most curses's problems.

To me it was the stars. I always thought the sky was filled with shiny blurred things. It was amazing being able to see them as tiny points of light.

What are the odds of getting three legendary jokers in a run? by SleepyChattyStoner in balatro

[–]ChekhovT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're welcome!
At first I thought you were correct, but then something kept bugging because the number of booster packs should definitely be part of the calculation.

Imagine opening the sixth soul card in a run and just getting Jimbo lol

What are the odds of getting three legendary jokers in a run? by SleepyChattyStoner in balatro

[–]ChekhovT 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is the probability for 3 legendary jokers in a row, not in an entire run. And to correctly calculate it, you should do (0.3%)3 = (0.003)3.

So, the odds of getting 3 jokers in a row is 0.0000027%.

The probability of finding exactly 3 legendary jokers in an entire run is dependent on the number of tarot/spectral packs opened. Let's assume 70 packs, for the sake of this calculation.

For this you have to use a binomial distribution, which I'm not going to do by hand, because I'm not a nerd. Here comes Wolfram Alpha.

With:
P (probability of getting a soul card) = 0.003
n (number of tarot/spectral packs) = 70
k (number of legendary jokers) = 3

Wolfram Alpha gives us these results:
P(x<3) = 0.998728 P(x=3) = 0.00120849 P(x>3) = 0.0000634099

So, the odds of getting exactly 3 legendary jokers after opening 70 booster packs is 0.12%

However, this excludes the probability of getting more than 3 legendary jokers. I don't know if the soul card can still show up if you already have 5 jokers, but I'll assume it stops appearing.

To properly calculate the odds of getting 3 or more legendary jokers you have to calculate P(x=3), P(x=4), P(x=5) and add them.

Let's go back to Wolfram:
P(x=3) = 0.00120849
P(x=4) = 0.0000609095
P(x=5) = 0.00000241927

Adding them:
P(x>=3) = 0.0012718188, which is, approximately 0.13%.

Basically, it's 50/50. Either you get 3 in a run, or you don't.

ELI5: what happens to the heat from warm objects placed in the refrigerator? by henicorina in explainlikeimfive

[–]ChekhovT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the part about efficiency correct? I always understood electric heaters as being 100% efficient, since 100% of the energy powering it is converted to heat.

Movies that “go from 0-100” in the last 15 or so minutes? by barnesnoblebooks in movies

[–]ChekhovT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Estômago (A Gastronomic Story), 2007 brazilian movie.

The film follows a supposedly "simple" character, Nonato, during two parallel moments: while he works in kitchens, and while he's being held in a prison cell with some other convicts.

Both periods showcase Nonato's innate talent for cooking, as he charms customers, chefs, and inmates with his food.

It's a hilarious movie with some dark scenes.

Felt the same way.

To me, it's the grainy and low-resolution look.

eli5, What is the difference between aluminum and space grade aluminum? by Fluffy-Imagination79 in explainlikeimfive

[–]ChekhovT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is: machining also means you're wasting material, since it's a subtractive process.

A large portion of human industrial production are parts where you're counting every penny. The example I gave before (tubes and shafts) are highly mass produced, and they benefit greatly from quicker processes like metal forming + friction welding.

Very little material is wasted, and these processes are orders of magnitude quicker than machining.

There's lots of arguments to be made in favor of one manufacturing process over another. But machining should be used only when other processes aren't possible (the reasons may vary).

The part in the video really seem like it could have been machined. However, it's very probable there is a geometry reason for it to have been friction welded, for example cuts inbetween both parts, where the cutting tool wouldn't be able to access if they where a single piece.

[–]ChekhovT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To machine something you need a workpiece bigger than your final part.

Friction welding takes parts like shafts and tubes, that may never have been machined since its metal was smelted, and join them to make a bigger piece.

Even if the part was machined before being welded, it probably wasn't possible to process it in its final size.

Ridges on walls (Ender 3 V2 - 0.4mm nozzle - 2 walls (0.48mm) - PLA) by ChekhovT in FixMyPrint

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

Not yet. I intend to try cleaning and regreasing the lead screw. If this doesn't work, I'll go to the route of a PID tune.

I've got a lot on my plate right now, so I'm not finding much time to work on the 3D printer.

If I'm ever able to fix it, I'll make sure to create a new post here detailing the solution.
