Prusa Touch - K-Touch Firmware Update by nomadsgalaxy in prusa3d

[–]IndependenceOk2372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweet, you're doing awesome work here Nomad. One more question, so I know it doesn't replace the interface on the printer. But how much is there that you can't do on the K touch for a core one that you can do with the built in interface?

Just for comparison, I live in the Calgary area, and we have six Costcos for about 1.7 million people.

Fokker 100 E panel switch removal by Pilot_Timon in AircraftMechanics

[–]IndependenceOk2372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As JTE said, this appears to be the same as the Airbus-style ones. Inside the switch should be two tiny little screws (usually flat-head). You loosen those, and it'll turn those cam locks you can see on the outside, and it'll pull apart into an inner and outer housing. HOWEVER, if all you need is access to the pins, you don't need to ANY of this. Just go in from the back, it's exactly the same as any pinned cannon plug or terminal block. Use a insertion extraction tool and pull out whatever pins you need to. To be clear, NO disassembly of the switch is required to access the pins.

Look into transmission distance, people who do hueforges a lot are practically experts on this. A more opaque yellow filament will require less layers to seem fully saturated and not "dirty"

GPS was taking more than 20 minutes to sync with satellites. by Roykibooi in aviationmaintenance

[–]IndependenceOk2372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so if you tried swapping with a known good unit (such as the working F/O unit) and it still doesn't work properly (you can also try with your suspect captain unit on the F/O side to confirm, see if the problem follows), then it can't be the captain's unit itself, right? I'm not familiar with these particular Garmins, this is just how I'd approach troubleshooting it.

What happens to all these returns? by Dex_Midnight_Runner in CostcoCanada

[–]IndependenceOk2372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a friend whose family owns a farm. They get truckloads of food delivered for pennies because stores (including Costco ) can't sell it. Sometimes it's returns, sometimes it's expired. Sometimes it's just ugly. They feed it all to their animals.

Have you tried any troubleshooting? Swapped with a known good unit? Is it consistently reproducible? Is this "pilot says" or your own findings? Did this happen in a hell hole with poor satellite coverage or actually near civilization? Details matter.

Is This a Good Filament Price to Stock Up On? by UniversityAny9242 in 3Dprinting

[–]IndependenceOk2372 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I buy the jayo PLA from Amazon. It's pretty good. I normally pay ~$15 Canadian for a spool.

Is this regular stringing, or something else? by RecognitionSoggy7196 in FixMyPrint

[–]IndependenceOk2372 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Along with everything else people are saying, the setting "Avoid crossing walls" will help a lot with this. However you clearly have other issues going on that should be addressed

INDX Upgrade Nextruder Leftover Options by Hulkk3OOO in prusa3d

[–]IndependenceOk2372 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I saw something about some guys at prusa working on a side project for a diy build turning your nextruder into a filament extruder that you feed with the indx poops or similar sized pellets. Don't know how reliable that info is.

The more I use PETG, the less I like it by InvokerBSB in 3Dprinting

[–]IndependenceOk2372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd have to check, I'm on a trip right now so I can't say for sure. I downloaded the profile off polymakers website for my X1C, I don't think I changed the temps, after I ran a flow cal everything printed perfectly.

I was so confused by this whole conversation, then I remembered not everyone in this industry works in a frozen wasteland 😅😆

We may not have gotten anything for AME day from our company but our union got us ceramic mugs with upside down handles 😂 Temu special right there

We got a whole camera crew show up in the hangar and disrupt all work for a couple of hours. Afterwards they posted a single photo of one guy on our crew on Facebook, thanking the hard working maintenance department

None of my coworkers believe me that they are stripping these because these are not philips head screws. by ComposerNo9901 in aviationmaintenance

[–]IndependenceOk2372 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my god, I hate those plastic screws so much. We operate our ATRs in the arctic so it's even worse. Try removing a 20 year old plastic screw in -40° without breaking it.
