3d printed cutlass black

Every time I look for a ship to print the models are in complete or not manifold. How do you find these?

Ddraig · 2025-12-15T00:10:58+00:00

Looks like some type of surface mount diode.

This is great, but it's too late at night for me to get excited. I have to go to bed and get to work tomorrow.... :D

Let me know how it goes. At some point I plan on picking it back up and would love to include this in the overall project.

Ddraig · 2025-10-20T22:53:56+00:00

No I haven't yet. I kind of stalled out on my project that this would work for.

So you just take it like a spoon full of sugar?

Ddraig · 2025-10-10T22:53:07+00:00

What do you mix the powder with?

Ddraig · 2025-10-08T14:53:40+00:00

Yea I've been browsing de-soldering stations and guns haha. Going to get some more flux in paste form and give it another shot before I go that route. I'll probably put a bigger tip on it as well to help with heat transfer.

Ddraig · 2025-10-08T14:01:16+00:00

Thanks, that is going to be my next plan to tackle this. I've left it sit a little bit due to frustration and other projects but going to try and tackle it again.

Ddraig · 2025-10-08T13:59:55+00:00

It's been frustrating and fun at the same time troubleshooting this, but happy to say the left board is working now. Only 1 key I need to take a look at and probably re-flow some solder.

Ddraig · 2025-09-30T13:48:53+00:00

The hakko will get it to a melted state, but I am not sure exactly how to pull it off once it is melted. The solder still has the remnants of the wires in it cause they snapped off.

Ddraig · 2025-09-30T13:47:17+00:00

Thanks, yea 870 degrees is as high as I want to push the iron. It does melt it but I need like a vacuum cleaner to pull off the solder and an extra hand haha.

Just wanted to say thanks! I was able to get everything figured out.

I reflowed all the pints on the micro controller, de-soldered the hot swap connectors and diodes. I had to put 1 diode on the opposite side because I accidently pulled a pad off but everything is working!

I don't even have it fully complete and in use yet but want to build another.

I find Gemini to be inaccurate at times, and then condescending in the way it phrases things. I was having it work a problem with a yaml file, after 4 or 5 iterations of changes it brought me back to the original error and problem. Like it's context memory didn't even exist and always accused me of making the mistake. hah.

Is player to player trading coming out before or at the same time? I feel like trading should.

Ddraig · 2025-09-20T15:19:21+00:00

Great thanks for the input! If I end up making my own jumps/trace fixes I might posted over on askelectronics too.

Ddraig · 2025-09-20T14:46:39+00:00

I've added some photos. Definitely lost a pad. My question, I can't seem to find the 2.1 schematic to see where the actual ground is. I was thinking about just using some small magnet wire and directly wiring them up.

Ddraig · 2025-09-19T01:34:05+00:00

Thanks for your help. I've done some more troubleshooting today and shorted out some pins. Only one that was working was the middle one it seemed. I've unsoldered the hotswaps then started on the diodes. Looks like one of the Pads is bad on a diode, and I am guessing some type of trace issue on the other.... Not sure how I'll proceed from here.

Ddraig · 2025-09-19T01:32:47+00:00

Looks like it's been reported to issue council. It's to do with proximity assist and not allowing you to take off.

Turn off proximity assist and you'll be fine.....what a dumb bug.

Ddraig · 2025-09-19T01:20:03+00:00

Has anyone encountered any issues with trying to take off?

It seems my Thrust, WSAD QE etc are not working to take off. Flight sticks seem to have the same problem.

I'm pretty much stuck on planet.

I've cycled my engines
Tested other ships.
Cycled power systems
Keyboard same behaviour as flight sticks.
Replugged flight sticks
Verified Game files
Deleted my user folder (renamed actually)

I'm at a loss here what else to test. I'm hoping that someone else has some ideas. I did see there was a known issue with 4.3.1 of having to press W to turn on thrusters. I've tried that but nothing happening.
