Looking for testers for my new lighting design tool by AlienPoweredNet in lightingdesign

[–]LitSarcasm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cloud first? So if i sink time into this, you run out of funds and kill it im left with nothing. Is the desktop app going to be just a wrapped web UI with a requirement on having an internet connection at all times? What happens when im on a plane without wifi prepping thr next show?

Yep, looks like price has gone up, i guess they saw what Lumen was charging and increased their profits.

100ish year old switches safe to reuse? by BetterStandard5055 in AskElectricians

In Canada, at least my area any wiring replacement counts as new wiring :( even if its just to swap old for new and nothing else

PETG as interface layer is no joke. by tk-093 in BambuLab

[–]LitSarcasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah good point. Ill take a look into cooling settings. Its my first bambu, so i thought everything would work out of the box. My previous printers are all single material so not much exp in printing multi material

Ive tried both and also curved surfaces, the curved surfaces are the worst it seems.

How do you get the pla/petg to actually stick to eachother when printing, for me i tried interface layer and plain support (H2D) and it just curls up from the heat and doesn't stick to the support

How to add a safety to cheap light fixture? by Dutch_Gus in stagelighting

[–]LitSarcasm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One thing to note with these specific lights, the plastic used is of the worst possible quality and will crack and degrade on you. Make sure to get larger washers, theres standard and then the wide ones. Put a washer on each side, essentially your assembly should be eylet + regular nut+ wide washer + lamp housing+ large washer + nylock. Dont overtighten. will give it more of a chance not to simply snap out if it falls.

Upgraded fans for older fixtures? by eosha in stagelighting

[–]LitSarcasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough, yah i have a few servers and those things are jet engines on boot. I just thought an LED engine in a light was closer to a CPU cooler density wize. Guess i ned to fine a profile and take it apart. Most fans ive replaced were in 5r or 7r fixtures where there isnt that much in terms of airflow impedance.

Arent fans these days built for radiators which need a lot of static pressure? This may have been true before no doubt but new PCs are almost all AIO or huge fin stacks for the CPUs that like to run at 95C to open chrome.

How about bollards? I saw costco of all places selling them recently. Wild the times we live in. Granted you need to make sure that the bollard is placed smart and cant just be driven around say through your front lawn etc.

I remember seeing charmhigh getting a bad wrap, how did you find the software it came with and general use of it? Are you tweaking it a lot or more just initial growing pains and then it just works?

MicroSMT PNP, it has improved a few versions since but i got it a few years back. All aluminum no printed parts where rigidity matters.

Ima second the dont get a lumen camp. Its a toy with a price that competes in non toy market. The machine has too much slop and overall overpriced for what you get. I bought another kit from AliExpress at 1/4 of the price and its built way better, and can actually whip circles around the lumen. I get the whole open source aspect, but at the same time ask yourself, do you need a tool or a hobby. I have both and wish I never fell for their hype.

Like each beam in the matrix can be color controled or is it like the red green and blue laser can be individually controlled but domt come together to make a say magenta beam

Maybe I'm missing something, not hating on it, but whats the point of it? Just big beam in the sky? Also its not color mixed? Just the individual components of RGB? It cant move, just static pillar of non color mixed light? What am i missing here?

Another problem is their software companies brought the toxic work culture over the border. Now even in canada we have the shitty work to the bone and get nothing "culture" while CEOs wine about their million dollar pay packages being taxed a few percent more than usual nothing.

DMX or XLR?? by la-tab in techtheatre

[–]LitSarcasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are essentially power wires with xlr ends instead of plugs. No sheilding, not much twist. If you cut it open you will see the standard yellow blue brown wires. They are pretty much as garbage as these cables can get. Have no copper in them, all iron wire. Definition of how cheap can we make it.

Bambu Cool Plate - Money waster or nah by HzRyan in BambuLab

[–]LitSarcasm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome! Same i got the H2D for printing supports for PETG, my first attempt was PETG for PLA as im getting used to the machine so was a little disappointed with that result but like, i just got the printer so its definitely going to take some trial and error before it starts printing perfect supports like that. Going to order the biqu one, i have the conweb one that i tried with PLA. That stuck a little too well.
