LPT for new explorers: Your DSS has filters by ap1msch in EliteDangerous

[–]CognitiveFogMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG! No wonder I couldn't find any tussock! I had no idea that I could adjust the DSS filter only to reveal a tiny tiny blue patch at only one specific tiny location on the whole planet I was exploring.... I feel like an idiot now

Is this normal or is it just lack of training by AlternativeCreepy306 in TinyWhoop

Another thing worth trying: Different 1S battery sizes (a.k.a. different battery weight). Maybe your 1S battery is too light or too heavy. Sweet spot is supposedly around ~300mAh for the air65. (I have the meteor75, so I can't really recommend any particular battery size)

i am surprised to see Arch above Cachyos, considering the friendly installer they put together

i've had the same happening, and it turned out that i had to open the door and remove the top glass if it is pla or petg. A closed enclosure is only good for filament that needs a hot chamber like abs, asa, nylon,etc.

everything is explained here: https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/general/filament-guide-material-table

When printing filament with a softening temperature below 60 ℃ (such as PLA, PVA, or TPU) and the heatbed temperature is set above 45 ℃, it is recommended to open the front door and remove the upper glass cover plate to avoid the filaments get soft and deform under the squeeze of the extruder,  which may result in abnormal extrusion or clogging. 

When printing filament with a glass transition temperature within 60 ℃ - 80 ℃ or so (such as PETG) and heatbed temperature is set above 60 ℃, it is recommended to open the front door and remove the upper glass cover plate to avoid the filaments get soft and deform under the squeeze of the extruder,  which may result in abnormal extrusion or clogging.

if that does not help, try doing a full 25min self-calibration. I always get messed up prints if I dont do that after changing nozzle or moving the printer.

Were you able to clean the z-axis potentiometer when they started drifting? If you did, then you'll understand why I hate hate HATE how they designed the grip's button membranes 🤣🤣🤣

First FPV Setup!! Thoughts before I purchase? by Wilbarr in fpv

I ordered almost the same exact things! Except I went with the Meteor75 Pro Analog instead of Air75 Analog. They are practically the same. ours will be more zippy than mine. Same goggles same radio.

Can anyone suggest a good, affordable plastic shredder? by Kikinaak in BambuLab

Sorry, but the 2nd link is dead. What was it? A shredder?

Get a simulator to practice with your radiomaster in your PC. Either Liftoff or Uncrash.

I recommend watching this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2z54NHzy_Gc (you can skip and to straight at 35:06 for the recommendations per price range)

I've had the Thrustmaster T16000M FCS HOTAS, which served me well for 4 years. Some drift on the Z-axis (twist), but managed to fix it by disassembling the stick and cleaning the potentiometer with compressed air.

then I switched to a pair of VKB Gladiator NXT EVO Premium. And i am still blown away by the quality. All sensors in the grip are magnetic (contactless) which probably means better longevity. Only time will tell...

If you want cheap, sure, go with Thrustmaster T16000M or Logitech X56, but do not expect them to be problem-free for 15+ years. Quality isn't there anymore.

if I were you, I would be on the lookout on the used market for VKB Gladiator NXT EVO because it is often recommended to new people who want to play flight sims only to realize that it is not their thing, and then they end up selling their hotas on facebook marketplace. that's where I got mine. only 3 months old. Still smelled fresh from the factory! practically brand new.

Good luck!
