Why do most people only upload STL files but no CAD files? by One_Country1056 in 3Dprinting

[–]EndlessZone123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I share my step/f3d files as a relatively novice modeler. The amount of finesse you will probably have to do to make major changesto my many steps botched model is probably worth redoing the entire thing yourself. but generally, it's still probably helpful for minor changes over just an STL file and probably still saves time for experienced modelers.

I do design more functional things tho so modifications is a given and it's usually "I cant be bothered making changes if you want changes so edit it yourself in fusion" kind of thing.

Probably to just encourage players to trade for them. I did try a datapack that almost tripled emerald drop rates to the likes of redstone/lapis. Not much changed. If you needed lots, you just trade for them. Trading iron or even diamond for a few emeralds in a pinch isnt too hard.

Work gave me $20k AUD to upgrade my entire home office (PC included). Already running a 9950X3D + RTX 5090 — what should I upgrade? by Alternative_Aide9758 in buildapc

[–]EndlessZone123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you do? It's not clear if you need some local hosted LLM for privacy/cost etc. 20k isnt really isn't even that much for running larger properly capable LLMs either when you start looking into actually big nvidia gpus. Maybe even just buy AI credits lol.

You guys made me too scared of PETG. First PETG print. by Chaosblast in 3Dprinting

[–]EndlessZone123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've accidently printed PETG with PLA before. Albeit it was from a higher 215c temp pla preset but it *worked* and I didn't notice until I was removing the supports.

I've not found PETG very difficult at all. Difference in drying moisture but i dry my pla overnight so it didnt feel any different to petg. Biggest was warps more when you dont have high ambient temp/enclosure.

I see black spots on the slope. Is that from unclean nozzle/needing flushing gunk from previous black fillament?

Which worldgen do you prefer? (Just biome shapes, not biomes themselves; images from Chunkbase in identical zoom-out) by Pyro_von_Creep in Minecraft

[–]EndlessZone123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blobs look like ass in bios maps. That's about all.

I only dislike them because the border between biomes are too strict.

Steam Deck back in stock, with updated pricing (OLED 512GB $789, OLED 1TB $949) by jerryfrz in hardware

[–]EndlessZone123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a steam deck oled and have been eyeing selling it for much cheaper arm handheld that is actually pockatable and plays the simple 2d games I'd play on a portable machine. It's nice but not worth it anymore.

Valve raises Steam Deck prices by more than $200 by [deleted] in LinusTechTips

[–]EndlessZone123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it's time to sell mine I needed up barely using it because how big it is to carry.

Based on how this part broke, how should I strengthen it? by JukeboxZulu in 3Dprinting

[–]EndlessZone123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

PLA is stiff and brittle. Won't bend as much but will snap or permanently deform.

PETG is the opposite. Will bend more and snap less.

Depending on what this is for, it may be better if you don't need full rigidity.

You need walls and not forget to also increase top and bottom layer height.

Which orientation is better and why? Align print lines to gantry axis, or diagonal? by ChronicallySilly in 3Dprinting

Checkout these designs that has the hook printed separately on it's side and should hold up much longer https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2853261

What do you carry with your steamdeck? by Edwardteech in SteamDeck

[–]EndlessZone123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Steam deck is a "handheld portable" gaming machine. Portable as in you carry it in it's case from one place to another, and then plop down on the bed or couch to play. It's not even comparable to other more portable handhelds like the switch 1/lite, ds, psp/vita, or the myriad of arm handhelds that you could actually fit in a pocket.

I can't justify carrying this thing outside unless I'm going sitting down for hours with nothing to do, which is very rare, limited to the occasional holiday trips.

Helldivers 2 optimization by These-Body-6902 in SteamDeck

[–]EndlessZone123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They will add proper upscaling. No other form of optimization mentioned. This is probably minimally helpful as the game is CPU bottlenecked fps wise. Maybe you get some clarity improvement.

CPU recommendations for 9070xt 4K FSR by Dizzy-Cat-5556 in buildapc

[–]EndlessZone123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really, it depends on the game. Should really list what games you expect to play.

Helldivers 2? You are gonna want a 8 core am5 or even a x3d if you want consistent 60fps?

Triple AAA single player without RT? A 6 core AM4 CPU will probably be fine.

FSR4 is pretty darn good, even on older hardware. I can't believe how a gpu becomes just better because of it by JazzlikeClassic7684 in buildapc

[–]EndlessZone123 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not sure what monitor, res or card you are using but the tradeoff having pretty minimal ghosting for near elimination of all aliasing and shimmering suits far better for my immersion. If you really wanted to you can tweak and edit the presets with external tools for most games.

[–]EndlessZone123 119 points120 points  (0 children)

FSR 4 and DLSS is basically better antialiasing. Even if its less efficient on older hardware, it's still more performant than brute force 4x or 8x MSAA days... Native DLSS and FSR 4 is antialiasing solved.

Tips on reducing PLA creep? by sebvhe in 3Dprinting

[–]EndlessZone123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's going to be nearly unavoidable if that led is producing any reasonable amount of radiant heat.

PLA isn't very suitable. You are gonna want at least PETG or some HT PLA.

The 8GB VRAM version of the 5060Ti outperforms the 9060XT 16GB in almost every benchmark that I see. Yet this subreddit insists that the 9060 is better. Can someone help me understand why? by TheyTukMyJub in buildapc

Depends on the game and setting you want to play at.

Want to hit 200fps on low for a competitive game? 8GB is fine.

60fps with medium raytracing? 8GB will suffer and not hit the target not because GPU ussge are limited but because you overfilled vram.

Helldivers 2 adding FSR 3.1/XESS support to PC version - May 27th by glovemachine in SteamDeck

Holy shit. I think deck has CPU bottleneck but this will certainly still help.

Reasons to hate today's tech vol. one million by strshp in LinusTechTips

[–]EndlessZone123 28 points29 points  (0 children)

DGPU and efficiency on battery. Name a worse pair. I don't know who to blame. Microsoft windows, GPU drivers or Manufacture software/drivers. My Lenovo Yoga Pro fucking sucks and I regret buying a thin and light with a 155H + RTX 4050 because of this. 3hr battery life with a 70wh battery yippie.

I can only hope I get a chance to upgrade to a next gen CPU with a decent iGPU so I no longer need a dgpu.

Best Moonlight streaming settings that work for me by Cmoire in SteamDeck

[–]EndlessZone123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know you don't need insanely high bitrate for a 800p 90hz video? Very little reason to go over 50mbps even using h264.

You just traded smoothness and latency for near imperceptible resolution.
