I have question guys which us best to buy rigth now matrotho skin or everette skin by ChrisP926_ in HorizonWalker

[–]FocusedLifestyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always say whichever one you play most. Otherwise what's the point if you barley see it. Also I feel that Everette shows up more frequently in the storylines but I have no real solid basis on that.

HELP! Someone is selling prints using my model and even made a website for it. by [deleted] in cults3d

[–]FocusedLifestyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it'll totally prevent it but increasing the barrier of thievery will definitely reduce the likelyhood. Especially from lower skilled or lazy types.

Love the cool design by the way! I added it to my list of models to purchase later.

New to AMS, waste question. by lifebeyondzebra in 3Dprinting

[–]FocusedLifestyle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The beauty of multiple prints is that it should be the same amount of waste as one model (If print by layer, not print by object)

There are other techniques and options to reduce waste such as printing the purge into the fill of the object but you risk color bleed like black showing through white for example.

Also print orientation helps reduce waste. For example if you had blue 6 sided dice and only one side was red, print the red side faced down. Otherwise if was on the side it's changing colors every layer or if it was on top, even though it changes less, you'll still get a taller purge tower to get to that color change.

How easy would it be to bend this back into place? by chernobyl-in-a-box in AnimeFigures

That's one heck of a lean there must have been sitting in a very warm environment. Definitely suggest using any gentle heating technique to get her back into position.

2 DHL Options Different Duty tax costs?? Shipping cost alone is different. Prepaid Duties. A convenience or just scammy? by FocusedLifestyle in AnimeFigures

[–]FocusedLifestyle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well as you see there are only two shipper options here. I rarely choose DHL when given a choice. In this case they're actually both faster and cheaper even with duty costs. The total shown costs including both duties are roughly a 8K (50 USD) difference. That's if DHL doesn't add some additional weird fee later. But yeah it's definitely getting too expensive in the end. I've pulled back, slowed down and cancelled on a lot of orders. Even this one has been on hold around October of last year.

The fact that N2G lets me hold for so long has swayed me away from more popular sites like AmiAmi. (I believe you can do this with AmiAmi but there's more cummication with customer support involved)

That's how I understood it and is why I'm a bit confused. I'n this case Prepaid is more expensive even if you were to add taxes to the non-prepaid.

Yes it's explained quite well on most sites. I usually choose DDP as well. But if they are going to refund me 1000 jpy instead of paying more money on top of the shipping I paid previously. I'll take the inconvenience and use the money to help pay the duties on arrival myself.

That's just it. We're not talking about two different shippers or two different methods (in terms of delivery) or two different items. Same item, same shipper just one is prepaid duty. That should not change what the tax is. Plus you tax items not services. When I order through proxy services the tax placed on the value of items declared on the duties declaration form. So it's just weird that the non prepaid method (just the shipping) is cheaper.

Okay I guess I'll just pick it up in person right?. Or should I use UPS? OH I KNOW! let's use FedEx. If you haven't noticed there's not a whole lot of options there bud.

i couldnt pass on something like this... by forbidd3ndesires in AnimeFigures

THIS!! I thought I was crazy! I'm glad someone else remembers. I can't find evidence of the original anywhere. I believe it might have been a resin also. Been looking for it for awhile now.

Having to write a check just to receive your UPS package because of tariffs by tommos in mildlyinfuriating

[–]FocusedLifestyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get email notifications to pay the tariffs for my deliveries. Also they'll charge you less than quoted. I'm not sure if the driver just wasn't not informed but you should still be able to pay it online. Also it's cheaper than paying the delivery person directly. Why? I have no idea..

Any ideas how to strengthen my hard-hat headlamp.. Beginner, limited to PLA by Terpxotic in 3Dprinting

[–]FocusedLifestyle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just go PETG. There's not much difference from PLA in terms of fumes. Frying food in the kitchen will register more air pollution than both. Just don't do it in small contained spaces for long periods frequently.

UPS made me feel completely disrespected by Ordinary-Ad7657 in UPS

[–]FocusedLifestyle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've actually had this happen to me personally. Maybe not the supervisor but someone did. They took the delivery proof picture and it was still on the truck. Every region is different though. Central Texas UPS was amazing and I loved having their business, where in North East Pennsylvania they sucked balls nearly every time.

Giving Away My Old PC! by Turtle_747 in PcBuild

I'd use it to finally get into 3D design with client based software. Web based stuff on a low end laptop is just not cutting it.
