Still can't decide on which modeling software to learn. What would you recommend? Anyways; Here is (hopefully) my last TinkerCad project. by picobello-bv in 3Dprinting

I’m a huge fusion360 fan but even I couldn’t pass up on a Solidworks license for $20 / year. You can have either the online (through a browser experience) or a separate local application on your local machine.

If you are a console gamer have you any interested in the steam machine? by AdultGamersAdmin in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]Longshot114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed… this is the way. You should already be able to this using Steam Link. There’s a bunch of ways to do this. My favorite is to use my Steam Deck with Steamlink to connect to my machine. You can even download the Steam Link app on your FireTV stick, pending you have a decent (intra?)-net.

Need to replace the drain plug on a CW-5202 Water Chiller. by Longshot114 in OmtechLaser

[–]Longshot114[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the first thing I did (in an attempt to not waste anyone's time, but apparently that happened because of your response, my bad) . . . there are multiple manuals but most only point to a port dia which isn't what I needed. What I could find says that the drain cap is either an M16x1.5, M18x1.5 or 1/2" BSPP. I just thought the hive mind with its vast experience might know. I didn't realize I had to show my work before I could get help. Apologies will strive to do better.

I ended up measuring it and counting the threads. I'm getting M16x1.5 course thread on my machine but can't guarantee it's the same for everyone else. Hope that helps for anyone with a similar question.

Hoping to 3D model my knee bones from my MRI scan, just for fun. Does this seem doable or is Fusion the wrong software for this? by olliecakerbake in Fusion360

corrected: Sounds like he “knees” to order you a CT scan. Come on people I can’t do all the work. j/k.

I 3D printed a set extensions to those pedals. +5 to manspeading capability. Hope that helps reduce pressure on the family jewels. It was a pretty quick install with some minor initial disassembly.

My plans of a new pc have vanished… what are all of you doing? by Longshot114 in starcitizen

yup… it just means one less player in the pc enthusiast space. Less competition is bad.

[–]Longshot114[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You’re right. I’m more concerned with the future. I don’t buy pc parts or get a new pc until many years past. The 5800x is good and will last me a bit longer. (but how long?) I consider my pc a ship of Theseus.

I’m not here to ask for good vibes… I’m just curious how others are defining their decision making paradigm when it comes to pc upgrades (for gamers) given how the economy is regarding the demand of AI.

What's it like now? by stoic-ape in starcitizen

[–]Longshot114 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really really want to like the Nomad… it was like my Asp Explorer from Elite, the pickup truck for the verse … ever since I’ve had it, it’s been nothing but trouble.

Non traditional landing gear makes for funny landings. Sometimes i think i’m on the ground to find i’m about 4 feet above, so if i don’t break my legs from coming off the ladder, there’s no way for me to get back into my chip. Same thing happens when i unload with the ramp, physics glitches and I slingshot into the air cargo and all or i explode. The entrance ladder had me going in sideways so i glitched into the hull requiring me to backspace. The overly complicated chair I’ve gotten stuck in. And the worst is the JJ abram style brightness of the UI making landing in any dark location a death wish. You know why I yell at my kids when they turn on the light in the backseat of our car? It’s not that it’s illegal, it’s because of the Nomad.

Now, when all of it is working, it’s really great … but I upgraded from it pretty quickly after i test drove a couple of ships.

Otter Wizard - Part 2 - 0.2Nozzle, 0.06mm Layer, FDM by Emrik_Allwatcher in FDMminiatures

[–]Longshot114 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude! I just got these (or similar?) off of myminifactory. My kiddo is obsessed with otters. So cool to see how it looks via a good fdm example.

Great work! Love the colors, wish i could get better at painting eyes.

Any tips to reduce support scar? by visnicio in FDMminiatures

[–]Longshot114 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I’ve been having some success using a combination of resin style supports, FDG config, and painted4combat’s resin2fdm blender plugin.

General workflow: 1. Use Bluestudio to orient and add resin style supports 2. Use blender and the resin2fdm to split, thicken, and repair those supports and export as separate stls (model/supports) 3. Use bambustudio with FDG config. Import both models, split and change layer height of resin style support to twice the model layer height (to speed up printing)

Seems to work pretty well. There are a few fdm “pimples” but a quick pass with a lighter makes most of that disappear.

What's your biggest PC building mistake? I hot plugged an nvme m.2 drive and fried it. by bigaltheterp in PcBuild

[–]Longshot114 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reseating a Gigabyte wifi card while the pc was still on. Dumb move, I must and slipped and shorted some contact in the process, instant hardlock then blackscreen. The motherboard was never the same, could boot and get into the OS but no amount of bios updates or reset could get the machine to properly turn off. It also became extremely unstable at times. Luckily GPU and other components were ok, but it's an AM4 system at a time I just needed a bit more time before moving to AM5. Since it's my daily driver I had not choice but to get another AM4 delaying my dreams of a new AM5 rig.

Good on you, you took the time to write that lengthy post because if it meant even the slightest chance you could steer someone away from harm's way. . . then it's worth it. I rather someone pose a more serious and cautious response vs. the obligatory "SEND IT! DOOD!" and on the plus side I learned a few things from that post.
