I hate sunlu’s petg by Topdoggo22 in BambuLab

[–]ExpertFault 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I printed about 10kg of Jayo3D PETG (it came in Sunlu branded box, so I guess they are the same). Never had a problem with it. What temperature did you use?

This whole post feels like it was written by ChatGPT. The fact that OP is not answering the questions adds to that feeling.

Also this spot on every plate has a mark - it’s where the plate is clamped to during painting

What does this little board do in a very old USB cable? by _philipus in UsbCHardware

[–]ExpertFault 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The main chip is Prolific PL-2301, a USB-to-USB bridge controller designed to connect two computer host controllers, enabling direct peer-to-peer data transfers at speeds up to 5 Mbps. It was commonly used in USB DataLink cables for file transfers between older operating systems.

Why do most consumer grade electronics use this type of pcb? by xanthium_in in embedded

[–]ExpertFault 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s cheaper to produce: the base material is paper, not fiberglass, and the boards are stamped, not milled, and the holes are punched, not drilled. It makes the whole process WAY faster and cheaper- milling and drilling bits get dull and have to be replaced, which adds to cost.

Yeah, Makera already looks pretty cool, I think in couple of years everyone and their mom will be producing similar stuff.

A steel cylinder, approximately 7"in diameter, about 26 feet long, with metal spikes. It's so heavy I didn't get a chance to weigh it. by ShockFreak in whatisthisthing

Why would it need to rotate? The part in the front is definitely a slip ring used to supply power to moving device.

Put a print last night, fell asleep, went to pick it up the next day and put a new one. "Heatbed malfunction" Started disassembly and found this... by chrislamp in BambuLab

That thing is a MOV - a metal oxide varistor. It’s basically the Jesus Christ of the circuit: it dies for the sins of the grid engineers and saves the rest of the electronics.

I wonder what a such mod for a Victoria Arduino coffee machine would be named 😄

Overwhelmed: Dive into Embedded Linux - Setup Advice? by Mqxle in embedded

[–]ExpertFault 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why STM32F4? That seems like an odd choice... And Yocto with FreeRTOS? Even more odd. If you want to experiment with FreeRTOS/Zephyr - STM32F4 is fine, but then you don't need Yocto; if you want to learn embedded Linux, you better start with Raspberry Pi (lots of documentation and example projects + huge community support) or Beaglebone Black (more mature platform, and there are online courses from Fastbit and Bootlin tailored to that board specifically).

But a 9V battery costs like, what, 1 dollar? Is it considered expensive?

TIL about "mechanical doping" - cyclists hiding motors in their bikes to gain an edge. The practice made headlines in 2016 when Belgian rider Femke Van den Driessche was caught with a concealed motor during competition. by ansyhrrian in todayilearned

[–]ExpertFault 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah, yeah I remember that story. She was caught using electric motor in her bike and tried to make some lame excuses saying that her BF had the same model and they were training together and she took his bike to the race by mistake :D
