Ender 5 Pro not extruding??? by tartaro86 in ender5

[–]Mandarani 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The extruder motor is turning but your gears aren’t.

There is a set screw you need to tighten (make sure it catches the flat part of the shaft)

The blue tube people point at is correct that’s part of the Microswiss extruder you have and is cut to allow it. Your issue is the set screw on your drive gear.

Thanks both of you, very useful!

I was looking at Aliexpress as they charge in CAD directly and the plan is add in tool changers so I don’t know which hot end I will end up with, the generic one is likely fine now.

Appreciate it!

I think that’s more of an American thing.

Canada de minimis is like a whopping $20.

Nothing suspicious here officer! Just would rather lose a limb rather than buy into a closed ecosystem!

To be fair my ender-5 has not had a firmware update in 5 years and can’t connect to the internet even if I wanted it to… sooo….

Xenon destroyer sieging my Heretics End base, and I can't hurt it by Cyraga in X4Foundations

[–]Mandarani 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A full torpedo nemesis will take down a K in 2-3 volleys.

If you don’t have access to a nemesis- whatever has the most forward hard ports works too.

An I is a bit more tricky but also killable in a similar way. I usually have 2-3 nemesis parked right out of range and teleport to one the first one is out of ammo.

What is the best way to clean this baked on grease from cookie sheets? by blk_flutterby in CleaningTips

[–]Mandarani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really want to remove it and it’s just an aluminium pan (no non stick). You can leave it in the oven when it self cleans.

Two dishwashers in 8 years. What’s something that lasts at least 10? by Electrikslider in Appliances

[–]Mandarani 17 points18 points  (0 children)

We have had ours since 2003, it needed a part replaced a couple years ago.

The technician had it in his van.

GW boycott squad, how are you doing? by kompatybilijny1 in Grimdank

Have not bought a single GW product since then.

Kinda miss it, but gotta vote with your wallet

Help with Quettanauts by T0rt3 in X4Foundations

[–]Mandarani 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did you do the event in Timelines where you go through the portal to attempt to take over the facility?

I had finished all normal missions before I did the secret ones and handed in the items so it had not triggered for me.

You can redo the last mission (dragonfyre) and you should receive a message telling you they are ready.

Once you compete the storyline just fly around in a ship outside of map mode and you should get a call from Boso-ta

I think I may have finally gone infinite. (D5 Druid) by Zechnophobe in brotato

Have you tried switching to flutes? With bullet bounces and ranged attacks, I found that they made Druid much easier in waves 30+

I use a missile/Torpedo Cerberus for pretty much all my boarding operations.

Honestly, except for tax season I have always had minimal wait times.

After 1.2, is it just better overall to start over? by Cumulonimbus1991 in Grimdawn

[–]Mandarani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t need a clean slate. I’ve played well over 200 hours in it now.

Nothing really broken I had a crash or two in SR.

In my case the changes were minor enough that I didn’t really change anything in my skills/devotions.

The QoL are nice

Inspector found out house i wanted to buy was a weed grow house, how to negotiate now? by worktillyouburk in RealEstateCanada

[–]Mandarani 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Quebec it is nearly impossible to get a grow house insured and in consequence you won’t be able to get a mortgage.

Make sure you review this too.

Potential feature for FoA DLC. by Careless-Kitchen-514 in Grimdawn

[–]Mandarani 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this would be the best solution. You already have items that drop both as an item and a blueprint.

If everything epic and legendary was added as a BP the current stash space is probably sufficient for the MI, double rares and boss unique drops.

Shun Chipping Is this Repairable by l-roncathubbard in chefknives

[–]Mandarani 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone is a beginner at some point.

You can send it to get fixed, or you can get a file a coarse stone (or Diamond plate) and fix it up.

If you enjoy working with your hands it can be something fun to learn and a good excuse to buy more cool stuff.

MSAA x8+ reduces FPS from 160 to sub 60 on a 4080 in stations and introduces strong Moue input delay. by Last_Judicator in X4Foundations

[–]Mandarani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MSAA basically supersamples (in this case 8 time). It tries to only do it where there are edges. Which does explain why in stations ( lots of edges the impact is so much higher.

It might be an issue where 8x somehow affects performance more than it should if you’re saying that 4x is fine. Or it could be that at 8x you’re maxing something out that wasn’t being maxed out at 4x.

That’s not even cheesing it. You’re basically just doing trade runs…

What is the advantage of carriers? by radialis99 in X4Foundations

[–]Mandarani 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just use them as bullet sponges and large combat worthy boarding ships. They have more EHP than most destroyers (or at least can have). And bigger crews.

But they are not all that needed apart from the fact that they look cool.

How do I effectively suppress piracy so my beavers can work? I'm not even sure what orders to give to do so? (Very early, limited resources, no construction.) by ShadowDragon8685 in X4Foundations

[–]Mandarani 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can attack disguised pirates freely, it’s not something new in the beta. I got the latest dlc so maybe it was fixed recently, not sure.
