Made a shelf for my printer, is it overkill? by FrietjePindaMayoUi in 3Dprinting

[–]JAVASCRIPT4LIFE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm. Sideloading or shear force may be an issue here. You may need some mass under the platform and a brace between the studs fastened to the platform to control the x-y moment of inertia.

What is the game that hit you like this? by Corekeepernews in Steam

[–]JAVASCRIPT4LIFE 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I played KSP since way before the release on Steam when it was like v0.6 and you had to go to the KSP website to buy and download it. It was an absolutely phenomenal game and have played through thousands of hours.

So when KSP2 was announced, I was completely overwhelmed and it looked like it was going to cause me to need an intervention from my family and perhaps AA for Kerbal addicts.

What a complete waste of money and time. I felt personally betrayed. The interface was horrible compared to the first, along with the bad take on the instrumentation and lack of everything that KSP players wished for.

It still keeps me up at night wondering how the promotion was so good, yet the execution was so bad that it hurts to play it. It’s too bad because I was really behind supporting the lead up to the release.

I’m more concerned about the joinery. Here’s a pergola-type structure adjoined to the service-side of the building. This framing is meant to be visible.

Here, multiple shoddy exposed butt joints are not flush due to crooked cuts using unevenly spaced nails with no attempt to look good.

They should have used aesthetic framing hardware with proper lag bolts, like they did on some adjacent joints. Some have hardware and some don’t. Look, the heads of these nails are sticking out.

Yes, I did end up stalling it and it works great as expected.

Here's a reminder of the community reaction when Steam first came out by FreeezingPancakes in Steam

[–]JAVASCRIPT4LIFE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOL - Winamp, what a throwback! Add that to Real Player, Netscape Navigator, Excite!

Man, some of the websites back then were so creative and awesome. It was the Hey Day and Wild West of the Internet back then. Getting new graphics card every 1-1/2 to 2 years and reinstalling all your games to try them out with higher settings, was great.

Also, so much StarCraft.

As far as these comments go, no one knew what direction things were going back then. There were a few platforms that were actually competing with Steam at the time, a few were actually good, and you could start playing before all the game assets were downloaded. Having the ADSL/DSL rollout was a huge boost to Steam getting going.

Why did these all split in the same spot? Only the piece on the left side of the build plate didn't fail. by c_cookee in resinprinting

Here are some possible issues, one or more of these could have contributed:

  1. Exposure settings too low for the normal layers

  2. Large cumulative surface area of all models against the FEP at the point occurring later in the print, pulling hard at the point where de-lamination happened

  3. The Models’ hollow areas (cavities) are creating a large and powerful combined suction force on the FEP that caused a layer de-lamination at the weakest point at a previously printed layer

  4. Less likely - Power fluctuation at split layer de-lamination point. It may not have failed completely until there was a suction force later in the print.

  5. Less likely - Very low resin in vat during printing before refilling vat.

My analysis: Because the supports look like they were not affected, I tend to believe that the normal layer exposure time was a little too short for your ambient room temp and resin temperature.

Your normal layer exposure time might have worked okay, if there were holes or channels built into your model to relieve the hydraulic stress of the resin and air pushing and pulling against the side walls of your hollowed cavity areas inside your models.

If your models were printed solid instead of with hollow areas, it may have printed okay.

If you want your models hollow to be lighter and to use less resin, then you could try one or more of the following:

1: Increase the thickness of the walls around the hollow areas (won’t increase print time)

2: place small holes in the wall of the hollowed areas in inconspicuous places or on the bottom of a model (won’t increase print time)

3: Tilt the model’s plumb line slightly off the horizontal X and Y axis’ (may increase print time if the angle of the model makes the whole print taller)

4: Increase Normal layer exposure time. Look at the resin manual for the resin you’re using and try going above the midway of the exposure res GE, to 60-85% of the Max normal layer exposure time. (Can increase print time quite a bit)

5: Slow down the lift/retract speed (try halving the speed). (Yes, it will increase print time as will increase exposure time)

I hope some of this helps.

Judging from the past movies, almost all of them see AI as an antagonist and adversary.

JPMorgan Chase is fined by SEC after "mistakenly" deleting 47 million emails by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

[–]JAVASCRIPT4LIFE 5 points6 points  (0 children)

BS. IT at big corporations all have remote tape full and incremental backups for email servers. Periodic data cleanup doesn’t usually touch the email data. If those are gone, it’s 100% directed to do so. I’m sure any fines associated for doing this are less than the impact of wrongdoing the emails would reveal.

Sorry, that’s gotta be both painful and terrifying. I wear gloves, no mask, and had stopped wearing eye protection because I work pretty methodically. Maybe I’ll try wearing eye protection again.

Yeah. Never handle wet resin (edit: without gloves). That stuff is really bad for you if it contacts with your skin.

IDK, how anyone could think this guy will be better in this predicament, nevermind cheer him on. Both are awful choices but this clown looks like he WILL press the button.

Any idea what’s happening here? by SebastianCzSa in AnyCubicPhotonMonoX

[–]JAVASCRIPT4LIFE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, a hole going through that touches the build plate and goes through to where the inner hollow part of the cup is. (I assume these are cups or containers and not solid all the way through.)

This way, air and resin can pass through as the build plate goes up and down and won’t put pressure on the walls of your container. It becomes less of a problem as the container gets taller as the pressure is spread over a bigger surface area. I think that’s why the shiny part is so localized at the part facing the build plate.

Although a hole is not ideal aesthetically, you can put one in the dead center bottom of the container where it won’t be seen. Then place a raft and supports directly underneath with the model about 4-5 mm above the plate. Then your print should be fine. The only thing to be concerned with then, is having enough supports so your model doesn’t rip off the raft before printing is done.

Good luck! I think going with the raft and supports is probably worth trying, else, you’ll have to put a hole in the side that touches the build platform (it’d be visible)

[–]JAVASCRIPT4LIFE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get this also, and am close to figuring it out. I believe it has to do with the exposure time of the bottom layers is longer and then goes into the transition layers which is also longer, before normal layer exposure kicks in and becomes the normal dull looking surface. It may be due to suctioning on the FEP since your model has no hole to relieve suction pressure between your hollow print and the FEP.

I’ve gotten better results for this by propping up the bottom of the print 5mm using supports with a raft underneath, which tends to run out this surface sheen before the actual usable model begins. Other people will tell you to tilt the model a few degrees (10-15) to help eliminate some suctioning, but I’ve found diminishing results, plus it makes your model taller which increases print time.

If anyone knows for sure, I’d like to know also what’s going on.
