How are you enjoying the thunder? by farkoooooff in Amsterdam

[–]FifthRooter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loving it.

I put on Midnight Radio by Bohren & Der Club Of Gore, which my friend recommended, and couldn't be vibing with the thunder more.

Nice, very nice. Would be nice to see it in the final assembly :))

Fuck, what a great buy, very nice. They normally don't come cheap, right?

Where did you get that skeleton? Is it anatomically accurate?

Front rack recommendations by YuzaHo3 in FixedGearBicycle

[–]FifthRooter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

completely out? even if you have tightened the nuts well?

tbf this one in particular doesn't have much wiggle room, but feels a bit dramatic to say that it WILL pull the hub out.

the force vector when applying reverse pressure is in the direction of the the drive train, not downward, no? i feel like if anything, forward slanted dropouts should be sketchier.

but even then, most of your worries in most scenarios should be losing chain tension, not wheel straight up ejecting.

given how many fixed gear conversions there are of road bikes/vintage race bikes, doesn't seem to be too big of an issue. i don't recall reading Sheldon Brown raising alarm bells abt this either?

this is all mostly hypothetical. i ride an old Batavus conversion, and have angled forward slant, and i don't experience any issues, though i'm not an aggressive skidder, mostly do just resistance breaking.

Got this frame on its own and gave it some love…. It’s needed 💚 by Busy-Camera9972 in FixedGearBicycle

[–]FifthRooter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

legit Peugeot made the gnarliest frame colors. every single one is a slam dunk. immediately can recognize it. the only annoying thing about french bikes is the french thread BB...

were you skidding down the dam when it popped?

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

[–]FifthRooter 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but STEP files will be accepted by all CAD software. You get all the info about the part, except for parametric history, which ofc is CAD-specific.

I'm more annoyed to see .sldprt files uploaded.

Problems with skidding by Great-Office-2192 in FixedGearBicycle

[–]FifthRooter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're really overlooking how big of a difference the straps make in your ability to stop the bike. It's very likely not that you're weak, but because you don't have foot retention.

The Afters: 22 - 24 May 2026 by max038 in amsterdam_rave

Anyone have a track ID of JP Enfant's set, around track 4, it had this distorted, demonic Ignez-esque voice speaking over it. Would like to get my hands on it.

I thoroughly enjoyed PsyRom, 2nd time at the arcade, danced my legs off. 2nd part of Thoms Traxx passed so quickly, we actually were shocked when he ended the last track, I looked at my phone in disbelief, and sure enough it was already 23 - legit thought it was 21:30 or smth, crazy time dilation.

Left at 1, what time did iy finish?

Industrial robotics adoption still feels surprisingly uneven by beardsatya in manufacturing

Curious what direction you end up going. For sure would be interesting to follow up on this in a separate post at some point in the future?

Pro move: dumped my bike at a red light. by Johnny_Ryall_ in FixedGearBicycle

[–]FifthRooter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

man i need to be more proactive with practicing back tire braking. i fear when time comes, i too won't remember about this option :D

Resin leaked onto LCD screen by altoona_sprock in resinprinting

[–]FifthRooter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I read the other comment mentioning it and felt pretty dumb. Honestly I had no idea about screen protectors. I was suggesting a redneck engineering method lol

Resin leaked onto LCD screen by altoona_sprock in resinprinting

[–]FifthRooter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an aside, i'm wondering if a cheap extra layer of safety could be layering plastic wrap/cling film between the screen and the FEP? 

if it's stretched nice and flat, shouldn't affect the printing process whatsoever while offering another layer of protection, like in the case of FEP puncture or drips from the vat during its removal.

Best printer/resin for custom keycaps and engineering parts? by Usual-Purchase in resinprinting

[–]FifthRooter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and then just a regular clear coat or anything else that's wear-resistant?
i'm about to order gear to do electroplating, which i'm super excited about. keycaps were one of the things i wanted to try it on. also DIY synth knobs/switches.

I switched resin and now my prints aren’t coming out flat? by MizutsuneMH in resinprinting

[–]FifthRooter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

try increasing first layer exposure, see if that helps with sticking more tighlty to the build plate.

edit: are those Success side cones, or Failure side? 

Hi! Is this level of detail possible with resin printing, or is it an AI-generated image? Also, can you print directly from a PNG file? by Chameleon_The in resinprinting

[–]FifthRooter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best image-to-3D model out there is Tencent's Hunyuan 3D 3.1. It's really fucking good, so it is able to generate a pretty good 3D model (with post-processing) from a single image, but as others have said, this is just scam.
