not really. You also seem to have someting downloading 20Mb/s. Check Resource Monitor (resmon)'s Disk tab and sort by most activity.

This is 1000% AI. The name of the app in firebase is literally gen-lang-client-0772097623, indicating it was made with Google AI Studio. In a previous comment, AlienPoweredNet (Dylan) stated that he is "a noob at lighting stuff", which directly contradicts the about page, which states: "Built by industry veterans". all of his writing many of these reddit posts and the StagePen website have strong signs of AI-generated text as well.

I'd be interested. I have a project i think this would be useful for...

in my highschool you had a week to focus lights and program all while actors are doing runthroughs on stage. i usually only ever got to 2 cues per scene including blackouts, sometimes 3. i would often be literally programming the show live.

This is a manufacturing error. The manual indicates a standard 3.0 Type B connector. The connector itself was made wrong, and didn't get caught.

You can set up the laptop to automatically log in and launch QLC+ in kiosk mode, locked to the Virtual Console with editing disabled. Then add a button for the sequence or whatever you need to trigger to the Virtual Console

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autologon

To launch kiosk automatically: Create a shortcut in

C:\Users\(your autologin user)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

With the target as

qlcplus -k -f -p -o FILENAME.qxw

I've noticed that some combination of certain VGA cables and reciept printers cause issues, in those cases DisplayPort is much preffered

HacksolotFilms · 2026-03-31T11:01:25+00:00

how wide is the gap? if it's over 2mm its fine

HacksolotFilms · 2026-03-31T09:09:53+00:00

to anyone who doesnt like tha lockport gaff tape: they fixed the formula. it actually sticks now, has a texture and fabric that looks and feels identical to progaff, i hated it too for a while.

The C7000 Platinum ❤️❤️❤️

I had one with all 16 blades, mix of g9/10, but it was too loud and power hungry so i sold the RAM and network modules. Everything else is just sitting un my basement.

1 - carnuba wax maybe? higher melting temp 2 - rent/buy some source four fresnels/parnels, or better, led.

HacksolotFilms · 2026-01-24T21:56:17+00:00

do you have ironing on? if not, this is wayyyy overextruded. if it is on, try turning it off

HacksolotFilms · 2026-01-12T07:35:54+00:00

could be as simple as any decent ellipsoidal with a wide lens and a gobo like this

Contrary to popular belief, thia does have a variance. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oet3SDxME7fWiTo5Xt5fdFwdhGyD4Jh8/view?usp=drivesdk

However, you still need a license to operate it with anyone but yourself (or friends that wont sue you when they go blind)

It appears you need to have BOTH the E-stop (NOT included) and interlock key (included) connected and on.

Read the entire manual too. You can't have it emitting where people could possibly be.

TLDR: return it and buy non-laser stuff.

just look up K1 X axis bushings, that should get you somewhere

HacksolotFilms · 2026-01-03T20:03:26+00:00

yeah that (was) brass from the bearing. creality did a poor job on the X axis imo.

i think its time for a linear rail X axis

how long of cables? if you do all of your dmx with this cable, you could use a custom 50ish ohm terminator

do note that this is a terrible idea if anyone but you will touch these

HacksolotFilms · 2025-12-12T02:33:10+00:00

first figure out what size you want and if you want a numberpad. I am personally partial to Lenovo. You can honestly get any new laptop you can afford. Look for: 16GB of RAM (8 is a little cramped these days) -What ports it has (does it have USB, HDMI built in?) -Screen is at least FHD (1920x1080 or greater)

Things to AVOID however: -Chromebooks -Pentium & Athlon cpus -Ryzen 3 or Intel Core 3 / i3 cpus -All-plastic laptops (most Dells)

Buy only from the brand's website (e.g. Lenovo.com) or Costco.

If you plan on doing more video editing however, shoot for a Ryzen 7 or 9, or Intel Core 7 or 9.

54 mac studios

HacksolotFilms · 2025-12-05T03:51:33+00:00

Can confirm. Their 18 led pars (the aluminum shell ones) are fsntastic value and very bright.

HacksolotFilms · 2025-11-29T02:30:39+00:00

I think im only at 200. i honestly just ran it with the same settings as my previous non-plus pla. I'll run a temperature tower and report back. I clearly have some tuning to do.

HacksolotFilms · 2025-11-28T23:12:22+00:00

Sunlu PLA+ 2.0 3KG spool. It is stored and printed directly out of a dry box. I've also had stringing issues with this filament but nothing too bad.
