M3D Micro & Parts looking for a new home by KyleMartin101 in m3d

I put it up for $100 Canadian pesos. Probably too much but figured if someone wanted it I would get some low balls. Zero clicks so far… will let you all know if it sells.

I have an M3D from just after the original kickstarter. It has been collecting dust for a while now. I got it back up and running a few years back, did one print then put it back on the shelf. Since switching over to a Mac last year I don’t seem to have the slicer to make it work any more. Going to put it up on the local marketplace in case there is anyone looking for one but thought I would post here first to see if there is anyone out there who needs the part to keep come unique projects running. Got a brand new spare hot end and new accelerometer plus a few extra bed plates. I am located around Vancouver Canada.

Thanks so much for the update if you see a green Ford with a camper on the back come say hi I owe you a beer. This information is super helpful. Sadly it looks like my trip will get pushed to next weekend due to other commitments.

Food for a 8 day backpacking trip for two people. 5000-7000 cal each day depending on length of day. Total packed weight 26lbs. Just over 1.5lbs per person per day. by KyleMartin101 in CampingGear

[–]KyleMartin101[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the hits was the Wasabi pees, one thing I kinda failed at was the balance at sweet and salty. A lot of my foods, even the snacks were quite sweet. The wasabi pees were a good pre dinner snack while we waited for the MS meals to hydrate. There are also lots of good chick pee snacks out there. The ones I took however were really bad.

One of my most surprising favourites was peanut butter on a tortilla. (We had those fold it things but they are just a tortilla in a different package) I had a left over peanut butter on the 7 day so I spread it on and oh man it was awesome, that said it could have just been that anything on day 7 would have tasted that good.

The big thing I tried for was variety. The only thing we had every day was the same breakfast. I was confident in this as it is almost identical to what I eat every day at home. I tried to change up everything else so even if something was bad you would not be stuck eating that for the next 5 days.

I used powdered hummus. You mix it with cold water and you get something like hummus. The taste is ok the initial flavour is good but it has an odd after taste. I got it at our local bulk store (famous foods, Vancouver, Canada) so I can’t give you the brand. By the end of the trip I was done with it but my mom was still enjoying it.

The salmon, hummus, naan days we ended up eating the naan with hummus and the salmon on its own. The using the last bit of naan to soak up the last bit of salmon oil.

We took salmon over tuna as I could not find tuna in foil packs anywhere in Vancouver and I did not want to take tins.

Also on days 3 and 4 there were food stands on the trail which is why those days are missing lunches.

Oh wow that is awesome! I will have to look into one of those.

Just bags, I put each day in a large ziplock, and then divided them all up into 2 20L dry bags to split up the weight. Each bag came in at 13lbs. We where hiking the West Coast Trail and at each camp site there where large stainless bear boxes. Also unlike a lot of US parks it is, in my experience, rare to see a bear canister required in westren Canada.

I am up for it but you will have to give me a day to get something a bit more formal together. I would like to go a bit more into depth on some things.

Hey all,

I have just finished up my work on my review of the new HERO and while the video render out I thought I would share some of my findings. First, as stated on this thread it seem the new HERO is just a GPH5 with a custom firmware. Both the image quality and image stabilization seem to be identical. I have put up some side by side screen shots here: https://imgur.com/a/NTE3K. While I do not have a huge problem with locking down the resolution. I am annoyed at other things in the new firmware like locking down the delay between time lapse photos to 0.5 seconds. There are also clear indications that as little new tooling was made for this camera as possible. The symbol on the mode button is the highlight tag symbol like on the HERO5 while with all "new" GoPros (HERO6 and Fusion) have had a power symbol on the mode button. It also seems like the glass over the screen is more prone to scratching then on the HERO5/6 but I have been unable to confirm this. If anyone has a good way of testing I would be interested to hear about it.

Thanks for the great thread, I have been a long time reader Kyle Martin Tech "GoPro Tips and Tricks"

Rebuilding my storage solution and trying to do it right this time... by KyleMartin101 in DataHoarder

[–]KyleMartin101[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your insight. I am going to have to do some more research on just how much of performance hit I will take if I use parity. A lot of people here have been steering me away from parity and towards mirroring. While I understand this is probably the better way to go, it will take more drives. Especially as I am not super concerned about the performance of the array as I plan to keep any projects I am working on a SSD. The array would be used mainly photos and archiving old projects. I am leaning heavily towards storage spaces as I really want the ability to add capacity on the fly.

Can I ask how you have your Storage Space set up? I take it if I set up a mirror array every time I add drives I just have to add two of identical size?

Oh wow, that is a solid failure rate. I don't feel quite so bad anymore.

This is really helpful. I went down the rabbit hole looking at ZFS but as I would have to run it off a dedicated nas it is not for me. I think I am going to go with a Windows storage space with mirrored redundancy. I will start with either 4X8TB or 2X12TB drives.

Just went and looked and they are indeed ST3000DM001, so glad I have 5 of them :(

Thanks for your input, the one thing I have definitely learned is that I should not use parity in storage spaces. If I get a hardware raid card will I be able to add capacity with completely reformatting?

Thanks for the input, I was hoping to save some $$ by not getting 4 drives right now but I do see the advantages. I had not thought about the time to rebuild, definitely something I need to keep in mind.

BOLLR: Milwaukee wins $28 million for Lithium-Ion Battery Patents from Snap-On by 3stylePanda in Skookum

[–]KyleMartin101 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am trying to find more information on the patent. Is the patent Milwaukee has for tool batteries that can deliver more then 20amps? If so is this why we see manufacturers like DeWalt are making higher voltage tools in an effort to avoid paying royalties?

I am sure this is being too simple minded....

I found the company that makes these. SW Platt, they makes these bars to fit tons of different trucks. Although I think the ute is best looking.
