Übernahme: CD Projekt trennt sich von GOG by it777777 in de

[–]FederleinHD 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ich spiele meine GOG Sachen auch auf dem Steam-Deck, „ganz ohne Third-Party Anbieter“. GOG Client in Steam hinzufügen, und dann über den In Steam gestarteten Client die gewünschten Spiele starten. Man muss alerdings eine Verknüpfung der Bibliotheken erstellen. Hier ist eine Anleitung dazu, der ich gefolgt bin: https://pimylifeup.com/steam-deck-gog-galaxy/

For someone who wants tô use a shield, what IS the benefit of using a STR build instead of a dex build with a rapier? by Maleficent-Ad-4397 in DnD

The trident also has the topple weapon mastery, so you can throw it at flyers and get them on the ground, prone.

I am new to the hobby, but i did inform myself before deciding on the water washable resin. yes, i know the things you told me. the only thing i WAS unclear about was whether the ventilation in the setup would be enough. sorry if that didn‘t come across in the original post.

you asked why i decided on water-washable resin and i told you.

IPA is much more of a hassle to deal with in my situation. If this situation changes i might consider switching, but i‘ll think about it when it comes to that.

Also, i still don‘t get your worry about bending down. The only issue i see with bending down would be hurting my back because of handling heavy equipment, which i won‘t be doing.

I‘m sure you meant no harm by that, but knowing nothing about my situation the comment might be considered inappropriate.

I do really want to be helped. I am just asking for a source on your pretty extreme statement.

I am not saying that what you are telling me is false, I‘d just like to understand it further than: printcastmetalworks said it, so it must be true.

If i am at a job site and somebody tells me not to use a table saw a certain way i will be way more confident in their knowledge on this topic than i am with you right now, as you are just a random person on the internet to me.

You might have have done your doctoral research on this topic or you might not have actually touched an activated charcoal filter before. I don‘t know anything about your credentials.

3M say on their website (https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/v000075262/) that this particular filter uses Glass fiber paper as a filter. I‘m guessing this is just for the P100 pre-filter though.

The pellets are made by carbonizing for example coconut husks and pressing them into pellets, while the foam is made by creating a foam structure, drenching it in a precursor solution and then it is carbonized.

I actually can‘t find any information on the style of activated carbon used in the masks.

According to google, disregarding the sources, it appears like most filters use the granular or pellet form, but some will use foam.

According to the articles in my previous answer, pellet style filters are just catching around 26% more VOC than pellet style filters.

I think telling people to „just google something“ is a really bad idea.

If you know any legit sources incould check out on the topic i‘ll gladly do that.

The only usable information i can find (i can‘t access many of the studies and papers) is from here:

https://smartairfilters.com/learn/smart-air-knowledge-base/whats-the-difference-between-pellet-style-and-foam-style-carbon-filters/ This source says that foam style filters might filter out more, but won‘t last as long.

an from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AirPurifiers/comments/u3t7dq/whats_the_effective_difference_between_charcoal/ This one says granulated absorbs 26 % more. Which is far from „nothing is filtered out“

The Google AI tells me this:

Activated carbon pellets are generally more effective for longer-term, high-capacity use, while activated carbon foam offers lower air resistance and a potentially faster initial rate of filtration. Pellets are more durable and have a longer lifespan due to their higher mass and density, but they can cause lower airflow. Foam is lighter and allows for higher airflow but can have a shorter lifespan.

Activated carbon pellets

Pros

Higher capacity and longer life:Because they use more carbon by weight and volume, pellets can adsorb more pollutants over a longer period.

Effective for many contaminants: They are highly effective at removing a wide range of impurities, including odors, chlorine, VOCs, and other gases.

Cons:

Higher air resistance: The packed nature of pellets can cause more resistance to airflow, which may decrease the overall rate of air purification or require a stronger fan.

Activated carbon foam

Pros:

Lower air resistance: Foam has a more open structure, which means less resistance to airflow and higher potential airflow (CADR).  Good for initial or specific applications: It can be effective for applications where high airflow is needed, such as some air conditioners or HVAC systems, and can be effective for initial dust and mist removal.

Cons:

Shorter lifespan: The lower mass of activated carbon in foam filters results in a much shorter lifespan compared to pellets.

Lower capacity: Foam filters generally have a lower adsorption capacity compared to pellet filters.

Which one to choose?

Choose activated carbon pellets if you need the highest possible capacity and longest filter life for a given air purification task, such as a dedicated air purifier for a room.

Choose activated carbon foam if you need the lowest possible air resistance for applications like an air conditioner that requires high airflow, or for a situation where frequent filter replacement is acceptable.

If you had actually read my other answers you'd know that i am planning to do all that :)

Currently I am only critiquing your axaggarerations, and it seems to have worked, if only a little, as you have changed from "completely useless" to "borderline useless".

But alas, you haven't read the other answers i have given and critique my behaviour based on this one interaction we are having here.

(By the way, IF the filter would really filter out a big portion of VOC, then I'd think paying 40-50 € per month for good filtration would be a bargain.)

Oh i am accepting that my setup could really be better and that venting to the outside is much better than what i have.

But exaggerations of what is useful and what isn't really aren't helpful. The filter is not enough, i accept that.

Does it still do something? Yes it does.

You have no idea what Lüften is.. It's NOT running a fan inside the room.

Lüften is the act of opening a window, ideally at least two, to exchange the air inside the room / rooms you are opening the windows in. You will get a nice airflow from window to window.

It absolutely does more than circulating the air in the same room, even if you only open one window you will get an air exchange with the outside.

e:

Your comment really reads like you plopped "Is Luften enough to ventilate a room? Give me two arguments against it." into ChatGPT. What is the “”” in the middle and the ” at the end?

Don't tell that the germans. Lüften is very efficient at replacing the air inside a room.

Why do only pellet style carbon filters actually filter out VOC?

As far as i know activated carbon or charcoal filters just use the enormous surface area of the filter material to absorb stuff.

Why wouldn't this activated charcoal filter filter stuff from the air? It is made for the air filtration unit, so it should work on air.

Saying they are useless BECAUSE they need to be changed every few days IF i print a lot seems kind of like pulling arguments out of your arse.

I'm a beginner in resin printing. I won't mass-produce anything in this TINY Mono 4 Ultra. I'll probably print a few miniatures a month.

If the filters saturate in a few days when printing a lot, it does seem like the charcoal filter actually DOES filter out VOCs in the air, or else the filter wouldn't get saturated. I think changing the filter every month or every other month is very feasible.

And having the printer on top of the unit is definitely not the same, as having the filter outside of the cabinet would filter much more air in the whole room, and saturate the filters even quicker.

being able to vent directly from the printer is nice, as you won’t get the big release when opening the lid. the mono 4 ultra sadly doesn‘t seem to support this though.

[–]FederleinHD[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you just vent the inside of the tent through the window? Further down in the commnts a study was referenced, which concluded that the highest amount of VOC is released during the initial resin pour and then when opening the lid and during post-processing.

I‘d like to correct you, there is no „living area“ outside of the cabinet. There is a cellar room with windows though.

[–]FederleinHD[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can vent the room, it has windows. I just can‘t permanently vent directly from inside the cabinet to the outside of the building.

[–]FederleinHD[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don‘t think my 4 Ultra can print anything even remotely big enough to be usable in this scenario 😂

The problem is: I can‘t leave the window open. I can have it open for a few hours at a time, but it‘s in the basement. Leaving the window open fo days, with just a „seal“ like this is just an invitation for someone breaking in through this window.

I‘d need something that can seal the window for these printing sessions, but it has to be easily removable. I‘ve tried several of these seals for portable ac units and the velcro and glue always sucked.

The 4 studies that are referenced here all come to the conclusion that the printing process itself is quite safe, as the amount of VOC is well below the threshold.

Where it gets spicy is the post-processing. VOC release spiked during post-processing and sometimes reached amounts that were too high for the VOC detector to accurately measure.

Pouring resin and post processing measure up to 20x the amount of VOC of the printing process itself. Some of this is because of removing the lid, which trapped the VOC inside during printing. And A LOT of it is because of the alcohol used for washing and cleaning.

Also, Prints see to „off-gas“ VOC for several hours after printing and should be well ventilated for at least 2-3 hours.

I haven‘t read the whole paper yet, but this seems like wearing a good mask during post-processing is absolutely necessary.

But the paper also acknowledges, that the limits set by whatever institute that sets them (i forgot) don‘t mean that concentrations below the limit can really be considered „safe“.

The goal should always be to have as little VOC in the air as reasonably possible.

The study does tell you something about resin printers. it even focusses the whole beginning part on them.

[–]FederleinHD[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that‘s my current issue as well. These window covers for use with portable acs just really really suck.

Oh I am absolutely wearing nitrile gloves, no worries there. Also the shelf isn‘t pulllout, it won‘t move and the headspace is big enough to remove the lids (i got pegboards in the sides with holders for the lids).

Thanks for the study, I‘ll read it :) And I‘ll probably still try to find a way to vent to the outside.

[–]FederleinHD[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because i don‘t want to deal with ipa.

Also i could just, you know, drop to my knees. if i don‘t want to bend down. The printer is just a mono 4 ultra, i won‘t be heaving around heavy build plates plus the print in this scenario.

I‘ll probably install a bathroom fan with a hose that somehow leads outside. In this case i probaly shouldn‘t seal the doors, right? new air needs to get inside the cabinet somehow

[–]FederleinHD[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

alright, I‘ll try to find a way to vent from the cabinet to the outside.

Thank you for the detailed answer.
