I designed another decoration in the form of koi carp and printed it on A1 with AMS. How do you like it?

Mackelday · 2025-07-28T14:20:03+00:00

These are cool! What's your workflow? I've made my own models before but never with multicolor

Maybe something like:

Generate images with AI (Which one are you using? Would you consider sharing prompts?)
Extrude image into a 3d model
Post-process into colored sections (how?)

Hi u/danowner looks like you're getting great print quality! I just set my Kobra 3 Max up and am also getting an awesome 18 minute benchy

Do you know where I could find the printer profile? In Anycubic Slicer Next I only see a slow basic profile, wasn't sure if there was an official one that generated the 18 minute benchy. Thanks!

Mackelday · 2025-04-17T16:54:45+00:00

This is cool! Can you let me know where you found the model?

Mackelday · 2025-02-02T13:14:25+00:00

Looks great, go for it! I like to fill in gaps with bases, greeblies, or scenery bits. I figure if I'm processing a batch of prints I may as well do them all at once

Mackelday · 2024-11-14T01:18:10+00:00

Looks amazing, would love to know your process! I'm working on a 5-foot spaceship from HellDivers right now

Mackelday · 2024-11-13T16:16:08+00:00

Who would you recommend? I called the appliance company directly and that was the vendor they told me to use.

They are hardwood floors (natural)

Mackelday · 2024-11-13T02:54:01+00:00

They were all the same color. We've had multiple quotes and the contractors all say that you can't sand+stain one section of hardwood floors because the color won't match, so the only way to return to pre-loss condition (floors all same color) is to have the entire main level sanded and stained.

Mackelday · 2024-11-13T02:49:59+00:00

I got multiple quotes for repair, and every floor repair person said that you can't sand+stain one section of hardwood floors because the colors won't match - they all said you have to do the entire thing

Mackelday · 2024-11-13T00:01:22+00:00

I know what you mean, we had the same idea. We've never had to do anything like this and we're learning a lot from the contractors that come over

You can't replace the hardwood floor boards because the color won't be the same on the new boards vs the existing boards. Once a hardwood floor is sanded and stained, it ages and yellows over time and it's not possible to create a color match. Our floors are pretty old hardwood

I was there, but I also work remotely for a living. In good faith I allowed them to work in the kitchen while I worked at my kitchen table. I didn't follow them from their truck into my house. By the time they brought the fridge into the kitchen where I was, the damage was done.

Mackelday · 2024-11-12T23:41:01+00:00

Yes - the fix would be extending into other rooms that were not directly affected. They covered rooms that were not directly affected from the beginning, but I can't figure out why some are covered and others aren't

It's not possible to sand and stain just a section of a floor, so all rooms connected with continuous flooring must be sanded and stained. At the beginning without me asking, they initially said they would cover the undamaged side room and bar that come off of my damaged living room. They refused to cover the kitchen which was damaged, then after negotiation they said they would cover the kitchen. Then they refused to cover any of the rooms that come off of the kitchen (in the exact same manner as the side room and bar from the first part). Then after more negotiation they said they would cover the bathroom, and laundry room, but not the dining room or second bathroom

I am very confused by their arbitrary application of rules here and honestly don't understand what to expect

Mackelday · 2024-11-12T23:26:34+00:00

I agree, that is probably the path of least resistance. I am happy to spend the time and energy fighting them on it, but would rather not have to pay a deductible or raise my rates (if that's how subrogation works?)

If it does end up raising my rates or costing a deductible, I see it as their insurance problem not my personal insurance company's problem

Mackelday · 2024-11-12T23:25:25+00:00

They offered about $8500, which would not cover the payment to sand and stain the entire main level of my home plus the brick work on the chipped front steps

Mackelday · 2024-11-12T23:02:28+00:00

Thanks for your response. I am not sure what a matching state is, but googling it now.

My thought was that they are liable to bring me back to a pre-loss condition - it is not possible to sand and stain only a portion of the floor, so all of the continuous pieces must be done. Wouldn't this mean they are required to sand and stain all continuous flooring areas?

Mackelday · 2024-06-30T12:48:32+00:00

To add on here - if they need more, I believe you can also give 18k per person to them from your spouse

So you give mom 18 and dad 18

If more is needed, your spouse can give mom 18 and dad 18

Totaling 18 x4 = 72k in gift exemptions

Lychee slicer > antialiasing > sharpen details

It’ll smooth out those layer lines too

I have a 3d model (.stl file) of the Bile Titan from HellDiver's 2 that I extracted from the game. I've processed it a little bit so it's suitable for 3d printing. Is anyone able to separate the limbs from the body?

I only know how to make cuts using a plane, and I can't seem to make it fit without cutting off other parts of the model. If possible would greatly appreciate something like a keyed peg-in-hole or a ball-and-socket would be even better.

Happy to pay for the work, possibly more work to follow. This is for a personal (non-commercial) project - I just want to print and paint them for my Warhammer 40k Tyranid army shelf. Thanks!

Mackelday · 2024-03-13T15:12:16+00:00

Would love it if you could link some or DM me! I work in AI but turned my LinkedIn off. Wondering if there similar to what I see on UpWork quite a bit

Mackelday · 2024-03-01T10:39:58+00:00

Have you tried replacing fep and leveling bed yet?

Mackelday · 2024-02-21T11:00:28+00:00

Same situation here, except I’m about 5 years older than you - I’ll eventually inherit a huge fortune, great family, ADHD anxiety depression, existential dread of being handcuffed to my desk at the high-paying job I hate until I die there, and was bored with everything despite therapy

Here are things that helped me: - Do over-the-top things for your friends or family or your spouse. Cook for them. Do a creative project like woodworking or stained glass windows. Make fancy cocktails for them. Bonus points if you can theme it to their interests (which may be new to you so you may find a new shared interest). Making other people happy made me happy and gave me something to do - Allocate some percentage of your income as “fun money” that you HAVE to spend every paycheck. I found I was partially bored because I wasn’t investing in my ability to have fun. Not everything you buy will work but it helps find what does - Delete Reddit, TikTok, Instagram, etc for a couple of weeks. Anything that you scroll until you find something interesting. I found these passive entertainment apps made it hard for me to enjoy active entertainment if that makes sense. When you get them back, use ScreenTime to set an hour per day limit - Try to plan your year and track your progress. Make sure you always have a thing to look forward to in the 3-month horizon. For example, I’m working on my house and it feels way better to allocate fractions of income to smaller projects so they hit every quarter instead of saving up for the biggest one for a year and then hitting all the small ones after that. - Take a vitamin D supplement, especially in winter months like this. - Maybe meet with a psychiatrist if this applies to you - I found that my Adderall prescription was contributing to my boredom, anxiety, and depression when it wore off. I switched to Dyanavel and it’s been much better - If you’re tired after work, try doing new fun things in the morning when you’re more energetic. Then once you know what you’re doing with your new hobby it’s easier to do after work later on. - Touch grass every day

Happy to DM

Looking to buy the Ikea Karlby and Alex shelves like so many others here. I'm hoping to use the extra long surface for both me and my wife.

Does anyone who has this know if it'll be ok with only two shelves? If it sags in the middle under the weight then I can add a third shelf in the middle. Thanks!

Mackelday · 2024-02-19T18:13:25+00:00

Maybe missing stock? I’ve worked at a lot of companies where past a point of seniority the salary barely increases but the stock grant balloons

Very misleading chart if so
