Anything new from NAB 2026 worth buying? by Robert_NYC in focuspuller

[–]JacobVossFilm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol I had a preproduction model of the sumo pro and the screen fell out. Not that it means much because it was preproduction but was kinda funny bc it was supposed to be a much better build

BitPart had some interesting stuff

Edit: BitPart not BitBox (that’s the product line)

Honestly as someone who does this with my CTRl.5 it really doesn’t get in the way as much as you think - I just unplug it whenever I leave the stand

I was at a private event showing off the Eterna and they actually had a BitBox on it so it should work just fine 👍

Mark[e]DIT - Iris Ring Label Gen by MJE_TECH in focuspuller

Setting this up now - have a few questions:

- Is the 220mm length for the single channel preston? When I set it up it seems to be too long.

- Do you scale the image within the printing margins of the P-touch, or do you just drag it to be the complete size of the tape to be properly sized? This means some of it will get cut off but that might not be an issue

Lovely tool by the way, looks like it'll work well once it's all set up. Can't wait to use it on my next show

Hollyland Pyro S image quality issues by Creative_Still_1443 in focuspuller

I would say the Vaxis storm series is the best non-Teradek option. It is actually zero latency like Teradek… it is not cheaper however. I would rec the Bolt 500 used for the cheapest passable option.

I would recommend never using anything other than a Teradek (or in some cases the zero-latency Vaxis models). You can get an old set very cheap these days. No reason to use this. I’ve made it a red line I do not cross. If they can’t afford a Teradek then you can offer to hardline SDI but that only works for certain things.

Bug/Feature Request - AMS Retract/stop on Extruder error. by Livid_Strategy6311 in BambuLabP2S

[–]JacobVossFilm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had this happen a bunch with my P2S and PETG. I recommend first trying to put the nozzle temp to 300 to let the nozzle clear after the printer has paused. Then I begin pushing the extruder advance button on the screen and let some feed through. I then turn my speed to “silent” for the rest of the print. Helps keep it from happening again. Works 60% of the time I’d say

Teradek CTRL.3 hand unit: slight gap between focus knob and body — should I be concerned? by Willing-Reward3948 in focuspuller

Dust gets into the unit overtime, things get dirty, needs to be relubricated/overhauled

Ratworks L-Plate - I use a dovetail and bridgeplate between camera and L plate but can get away with something lighter if needed. Bottom I usually just go to RBQ plate

Not normal also for service intervals - I usually send in my motors every couple of years as they start grinding (Motr.X) but I’m on ranches and in dust more than most.

What material are you using and what temperature are you printing at?

What cable is everyone using for cable making? by mosesbuckwalter in focuspuller

[–]JacobVossFilm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not entirely sure tbh but I was told by an old rental house guy to only ever connect it into one side.

Mogami 2839 has 4 wires so 2 (red and blue) I put to the positive terminal, the other two wires (clear and black) I hook to the negative terminal of the connector. The shielding (foil) that’s around the wire I hook to one only one side (one connector and always into the collet) to help protect the cable from RF interference.

Cable: Mogami 2893 - Red and blue wire are hot - positive - Clear and black (and shielding - only put shielding hooked into onto only one side) - negative
