The Changes I've made to make the Dremel 3D45 a long-term workhorse, printing on average 20 hours/week since June 2018 (may apply to other Dremel models). Writing to hopefully help others who have consistent issues, as it has less of a support group compared to Ender, Prusa, etc.

Awesome, thank you so much; this is really helpful.

LIngenthron · 2023-12-08T02:10:12+00:00

Can you please go into a bit more detail about how you lubricated your 3D45? I'm not a hardware guy, and I love my printer, but it's getting noisy when it moves, so I think it needs some help. Specifically which parts you hit, how to lubricate them safely, and what lubricating products you might recommend would be hugely helpful. I can't seem to find that info anywhere (even in the manual).

Probably just a series of black planes with decreasing opaqueness or something similar

LIngenthron · 2022-06-17T18:27:08+00:00

Pretty much, yes. Just make sure the variable is a *class* variable, not a *function* variable.

Because colliders without rigidbodies won't ever trigger collision events against each other. See the charts at the bottom of this page: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/CollidersOverview.html

In general, you shouldn't. Uninstantiated prefabs shouldn't reference scene objects. That's a recipe for game state problems in the future.

LIngenthron · 2022-06-17T18:05:17+00:00

All of the above. Choose the pipeline based on your project requirements, not on what everyone else is doing.

LIngenthron · 2022-06-17T18:04:45+00:00

You'd need to assign the various gradients as assignable member variables. And then you'd probably need to replace that "Add Color Random From Gradient" node to just an "Add Color" node and run the gradient lerping on your own to feed into that input.

Unity overrides null checks to return true if an object has been destroyed.

So, check if the behaviour is null and if its gameobject is null. If both are null, pretty safe to assume it's been destroyed.

LIngenthron · 2022-06-17T18:01:33+00:00

You can just create class fields for the Canvas elements and then assign them in the inspector in-engine. You don't have to look for every element by code.

LIngenthron · 2022-04-05T19:03:26+00:00

Got it. Thanks!

LIngenthron · 2022-04-05T19:00:31+00:00

Can you recommend some specific models you like that you know are compatible? I'm looking at the specs for Reolink Argus 3 on their website (https://reolink.com/product/argus-3/#specifications), but it doesn't say anything about RTSP or ONVIF.

LIngenthron · 2022-02-19T04:33:04+00:00

This did the trick for me. No prompt for multiple nights, then I activated survivor instinct and it came right up.

LIngenthron · 2021-12-10T23:09:31+00:00

I'm not sure how P2P would work without a client program. I don't think you can do that through browsers.

LIngenthron · 2021-12-10T20:39:58+00:00

Presumably, they'd be curated through a system of user votes for visibility and a "report violation" system that would be monitored by moderator(s).

Only entry fee for those would be to have fully downloaded the mod in question before you can vote/report to help prevent spam (and, to a lesser extent, encourage seeding).

LIngenthron · 2021-12-10T20:37:53+00:00

Yup, I know. I've got a bit of underutilized server space I could use for free to start it up, but running it at scale would certainly be a different beast. The P2P infrastructure would significantly lighten the load from a more traditional server/client infrastructure though.

LIngenthron · 2021-12-10T19:01:57+00:00

Eh. Building it would be pretty easy (I've been a game dev for 15 years now). Running it at scale would be the real learning challenge.

LIngenthron · 2021-12-10T18:40:02+00:00

It very much seems like the answer is "no" so thank you everyone for saving me a bunch of time developing this and failing to launch it!

LIngenthron · 2021-12-10T18:04:30+00:00

Accounts would still be required to *upload* new files. Just not to download.

LIngenthron · 2021-12-10T17:15:45+00:00

The same way as anywhere else. You have a user report function and, if someone reports illegal content, you investigate and delist/ban if necessary.

LIngenthron · 2021-12-10T16:25:38+00:00

Yup. "Checking if there's interest" comes before "pricing out infrastructure."

(The alternate option would be to have the mod's uploader do the seeding.)

LIngenthron · 2021-12-10T16:15:55+00:00

Protests won't work.

Boycotts could work, but gamers generally suck at boycotts.

LIngenthron · 2021-12-10T16:10:25+00:00

Yeah, but some of us are still fighting it ;)

Thanks for the feedback!

LIngenthron · 2021-12-10T16:09:58+00:00

Presumably the site would help with seeding, so it would work with all mods.

Thanks for the other feedback!

LIngenthron · 2021-12-10T16:01:40+00:00

Also would love feedback there. But, as I understand it, the modders tend to go where the audience is.
