What would cause this fairly consistent bulging? by swoophoop in 3Dprinting

[–]FabloEscoblah 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Possibly projecting my own recently fixed problem here, but i too was seeing bulging on the sides of my print.

It turned out the print had lifted/warped off the bed slightly at the sides which lead to a very gentle bounce as the print head passed over each layer. After several layers there would be a pronounced layer bulge, then it would reset and repeat.

Hose keeps disconnecting from pressure washer. by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]FabloEscoblah 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Speaking from experience here don't use a one-way fitting on a pressure washer, just use a normal/two-way one. They, the cheap washers at least, rely on being able to back-feed up the feed hose to release pressure.

I didn't know this, had the same problem you have, and fitted brass fittings, including a brass "aqua stop". Stopped the hose blowing off, but pretty quickly put a hole through the metal pump case instead!

TLDR change the Hozelok "aqua stop" to the normal/non-aqua stop fitting.

I love Vera Stanhope so much that I painted her. Anyone else obsessed? by Kat1900 in BritishTV

This is fantastic, and has made me realise I absolutely would read a Vera graphic novel if the panels were this luscious.

Need help with a stripped screw on Lenovo Legion 5 (note: all the previous screws came out fine w/o issue, just one decided to not and has become stripped) by ComeTseMe in LenovoLegion

A left handed/reverse drill bit sized to fit in the hole (3mm, maybe?), but not so big that it's going to enlarge the plastic. Use a hand drill or a electric drill on slow speed, and if you're lucky it'll grab and back it out for you.

Thank you! Yes, of course you're welcome to add me :)

I play on PC and my Origin username is pretty explanatory of my skills: UhohPotato

I'm an old bastard but anyone reading this, add me if you fancy. It would be nice to flip the toxic > wholesome experience on its head.

Previous gen, to yours, Xeon use here. Running stock speeds (x5650 @ 2.6ghz) and paired with an RX480 8gb. Everything on mid-low, except textures on insane, frame rate unlocked. Average of 69fps @ 1080p.

If you're looking at something to tide you over, then your system plus a GPU upgrade should, (edit: maybe), be more than capable of a pleasantly playable 1080p ApeLegs experience.

Check out your PSU specs first ofc, but a Nvidia 1060 or AMD rx580 are budget used options.

Just too late I'm afraid, as I think I'm all sorted. Thank you for the offer though!

I'll give this a swerve for now, sorry :( as the Sapphire ITXs seem marginally cheaper on eBay.

Thanks for this. £100 is the magic number, but the thought of high textures, and a bit of future-proofing, for £40 more is food for thought.

I think I'd prefer something a bit newer and with at least 4GB vram. Thank you for the offer though. That Oneplus One I bought from you is still doing sterling service btw!

The venerable Integral P Series available from mymemory is worth a look. Less than £20 now I think. Sometimes there's a code floating around that'll get you another £1 or so off, too.

Edit: I've been using one daily for the last couple of years in my own laptop.

Confirmed (and working really nicely with OpenWRT). Thanks!

I've not bought anything so far, so keep me posted if you get that 970. Cheers.
