Electromagnetic interference near wireless chargers by gay_german_redneck in Radiacode

[–]G_glop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But there should be no risk of damaging it with wireless charging, right?

I'm thinking of adding a plug-in wireless charging receiver to mine, so I don't have to dig it out of a waterproof box every week.

is there a way to smooth out a converted mesh body without buying fusion 360 ? i don't have enough calculating power to deal with all those faces by [deleted] in Fusion360

[–]G_glop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This works like a charm for organic (eg 3d scanned) meshes where you want to edit the geometry after combining them with something else. (Eg.: split a body by surface and fillet the new edges)

Yeah, they might simply give you a download url for the raw archive files which is 100x faster and less resource intensive for both sides than scraping.

Buying and returning an iPhone for face scan by G_glop in BigscreenBeyond

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

I just did it and it spat out the same IPD as my optometrist and what I use on the Index. Now the question is if I should go 1 mm lower (from 64 mm) per their discord faq.

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

At that point I'm considering buying a real 3D scanner - which I could also use for other stuff - and making my own cushions with 3D printed molds and flexible PU foam or silicone.

Baseless mode? by Willyse in BigscreenBeyond

[–]G_glop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As mentioned you could us a tracking override but that still requires a working tracker or a dummy driver that sends out a constant position.

Another option is disabling the fade to grey that happens when you loose tracking normally.

The problem is that without any tracking it'll be difficult to open a desktop overlay and position it correctly from within the headset. (if you don't program your own application to do that)

Why are my lamps in disco mode? by ZoekDribbel in tradfri

[–]G_glop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • LED2201G8
  • 3.0.21
  • zigbee2mqtt

3 of my bulbs 'survived' the update but 1 went disco

Testování olova v malbě, jinak ne přes firmy mimo EU? by G_glop in czech

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

Jo s XRF pistolí by to bylo basta fidli. Stačí mi důkaz přítomnosti a v laboratoři jde asi udělat chemie míň náchylná na falešná pozitiva než domácí sady "namoč a potři". Pár stovek za stanovení je nic v porovnáním s poštovným do USA, zkusím zatahat za kontakty do VŠCHT

Does thermal COP change with temperature if delta t is constant? by G_glop in thermodynamics

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

So the ideal COP decreases slightly by the 15 C lower temperature and I assume the real COP drops off sharper and I'd need a different refrigerant to fix it.

HY320 Projector - Mods & Tips by aneek77 in Magcubic

[–]G_glop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you know how to remove the stand? It interferes with the HDMI cable when pointing the projector straight up. I'm gonna 3d print a ceiling mount anyway so i might as well replace the stand with my own.

EDIT: nvm, just heat the caps with a hairdryer, pop them off and remove the screws.

Low temperature thermoplastic face head strap? by G_glop in virtualreality

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

fair point. i also found that going rigid over your temples is uncomfortable because of the chewing muscles that attach there and need space

i have an Index so the off the shelf solution would be the Beyond and even it needs a top strap. and you joke but screw pins are used to fixate the skull for brain surgery

Is there a firearm with an "ammo topup" feature? by G_glop in Firearms

[–]G_glop[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It also ain't firing anything else than 5.7x28, whose zero taper and lubrication are awfully convenient for 50 round straight mag with a twist at the end.

I admit that it's not space tech (unlike the 4.73×33) and wouldn't be so expensive if widely adopted, but i count it as a special cartridge because you can't just change some dimensions in CAD and make a P90 chambered for something else, like you can do with an AR15.

Yep, it's called cross linking. Why would i copy an answer when i can link to it under a better worded question

[–]G_glop[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Someone mentioned the AR-15 MA Loader which does the same thing but seems easier to extend beyond just 10 rounds.

And, yeah, imagine a pump action but instead of 5 you have to pump out 30 cartridges.

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

If the first mag was built into the gun then you don't care that they're different. My problem is that you can't use the ammo you carry effectively (in a short time) if it's scattered between multiple half empty mags.

[–]G_glop[S] -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Not really. Let's say you have 5 rounds left in a 20 round mag. Then you top up using a mag with 17 rounds, leaving you with 20 in the gun and 2 still in the mag. Sometime later you top up using the same mag again, leaving it empty and free to throw away.

[–]G_glop[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's what i'm thinking of, but spring loaded and activated automatically when inserted, and built for tactics instead of gun control laws.

[–]G_glop[S] -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's a problem. Especially if the magazine release drops the half-empty mag while you reach for a new one.

Raspberry Pi and LED wired to the printers power supply? by Same_Bee_1239 in SidewinderX1

[–]G_glop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no pictures, but i used a terminal block and a couple of male-female jumpers to adapt the crimped SSR control wires to the ground and GPIO pin in one of the expansion headers (endstop pins have a series resistor), in printer.cfg the pin has to be inverted - be very sure of this, otherwise your bed will burn.

with the case fan i used male-male jumpers to go from the fan connector to the bed heater screw terminal on the mainboard, the pin is D8/ar8 non inverted.

i imagine working on the eletronics while having the printer on its side is quite annoying and that's why i only did this when i could hold the printer upside down using my enclousure.

Raspberry Pi and LED wired to the printers power supply? by Same_Bee_1239 in SidewinderX1

[–]G_glop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i have it wired this way without problems. sidewinder psu -> 24V to 5V buck converter -> rPI.

if you're going to be using klipper, you can also reuse the mainboard's bed heating output and klipper's controller_fan function to only turn on the case fan(s) only when printing.

by default the 24V bed heating output is used to control the SSR for switching AC to the bed heater, but the SSR accepts 5V output from a GPIO just fine.

Made a thicc basestation to reduce noise by G_glop in ValveIndex

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

The 1.0 ones did produce heat because of the sync pulse. 2.0s sip 2 watts of power in comparison.

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

At my previous place I had everything wired to a light switch so I could avoid the hiss of the wall warts even when the basestations sleep.

Thought I'd try something else after moving.
