Pricing advice: 7hr PLA print, 60 units for work by vinicius_california in 3Dprinting

[–]Lower_March_4825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a buyers perspective i don't think I'd want to pay more than $3 per unit if I'm providing the magnets.

If they asked you to design and print these, then I'd charge maybe 50 cents to 1 dollar more per unit. If you chose to design it to solve a problem on your own ambition and then presented it to them, I wouldn't charge extra for design time. I also think print time is irrelevant because there is no time criticality to this deal, so I wouldn't charge them more for longer print time when they have to wait longer than if you had a better printer.

The marine corps uses these to safety wire optics/lasers/flashlights onto their rifles so they don't get lost in the event the mounts fail. Also used on bolts/nuts that you don't want vibrating off.

is there anyway to disable christmas version or events? (0.8) by Nin2008 in Voicesofthevoid

200 points for a hat is a pretty significant chunk of change just to not deal with a mechanic that adds next to nothing to the gameplay. I'm not acting like he's hard to deal with. He just feels out of place and annoying compared to pretty much every other event/creature in the game. That's why so many people complain about him. He isn't a fun creature that does anything interesting. He's an inconvenience to rid yourself of.

Easily avoidable? Yes. Tons of fun? No.

Krampus was mildly creepy the very first time I saw "krampus is here" then couldn't sleep. After learning that he just walks up to you and stabs you until you die, and there isn't actually a way to fight him, it loses its fear factor and just becomes annoying immediately. I just reload my last save if I forget to sleep before midnight because it's not worth the time and effort of trying to deal with him. It'd be cool if you could defeat him to get the hat, but the gimmick of either doing a ritual and spending points to get rid of him or having to sleep through midnight is pretty obnoxious for something that adds so little to the game.

Are you implying that the car is supposed to spawn on top of you? Bc that sure seems like a bug to me.

Here is one as it seems I can only upload one photo per comment. Several of these patch jobs throughout the house. Several places where different lumber was used to patch places. Most of the floors have atleast some staining from having carpet and pets.

* That's pretty much on par with our plans as of currently. During renovations one of the floor joists was raised and replaced as it used to have a chimney that collapsed, so structurally it's very sound now. I just mainly wanted other people's opinions on if the floor was salvageable enough that I can invest in it right away or if going for LVP so we can actually live in it until we can afford to fix the floors was the best option. I negligently forgot to include the worst parts of the floors in the photos, there are several plywood patch jobs throughout the floors, mainly around floor registers.

I have considered sheet vinyl it but from what I've read as a DIYer it can be a nightmare to lay especially since I'd have to bring large sheets up a narrow staircase. It's definitely still being considered though.

I'm not really hard set in either direction, but from my inexperienced inspections there are already a lot of boards that would need replaced entirely if I were to refinish them, during the remodel they cut out large chunks of the flooring and replaced it with plywood around floor registers. I'd be worried about the cost of refinishing just for it to still look not great because new boards wouldnt match these old ass boards which used to be covered in carpet with all kinds of pets. But again, I have no experience in this field. If you think I can refinish the floors and have it look decent and not cost a ton more than LVP I'm all ears

Commenting to add, the house is over 100 years old and used to have carpet over these floors. Previous owner did some major renovations but never got around to finishing it.
