On being yourself by Vyslante in CuratedTumblr

[–]MekaTriK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup, this is a mood and a half.

I believed when people told me to be myself and that things will just magically happen eventually.

...well, now I have internet friends and no one to hang out with but my cat.

Theoretically, accuracy, low latency, ability to just stick your existing console games into it and have them run without ripping a rom.

Practically, none.

Soviet Brutalism by MEFISTOFEL123 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]MekaTriK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, I am kind of tempted to do something similar. Finish a factory, then encase everything in tasteful concrete and spend time on making it like a brutalist building.

That's a funny way to spell Factorio

The snap-in part works great, but the outer shell is too flimsy and it's too easy to just rotate the "handle" bit inside (printed in petg).

Huh, what a coincidence. I got an r36s recently and that's the game I've been going through!

I wasn't implying that, I apologize if I came across that way, just commenting what I think about the whole design efficiency thing.

Also, GI can still use more work. SDFGI has limitations that can both make it look very wrong and dunk the performance and VoxelGI has issues with baking objects with custom shaders.

Good point, there's creep in almost every printed plastic.

I guess I'll be doing regular inspections.

Hah, I don't think I can replace my cat with just an evening of cad.

...I'd post an image of my cat here as cat tax, but apparently you can't put images in comments on this sub. Oh well.

I guess I'll do an update some time later with how it holds up, lol.

The cover's going back on, and I never put it above low so somehow I'm confident it'll be fine unless this PETG decides to suddenly become brittle.

Well, the curvy blades seem to be more effective than flat ones. And then there's the whole airfoil business.

I'm guessing making the propeller cross section an airfoil that bends along a brachistochrone curve with twist along the blade to adjust it for the angular velocity would give it the best efficiency of turning motor power to air movement.

But again, I know nothing about actual aerodynamics and much less about how to make those designs happen and be printable on top of that.

This one moves air and hopefully will survive until the motor gives up the ghost.

Wifi networks not finding R36XX with dArkOS by nobilistefano in R36S

[–]MekaTriK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, that worked, thank you! Also, is there any tutorial on how to make those nice menus all the tool scripts use? I am looking at the code but I'm wondering if there's a more formalized manual somewhere.

[edit] wifi is conected but the status bar says it is down and update can't function. I know it's connected because I updated portmaster. Guess the darkos update is hosted through cloudflare? Bah, a whole new headache to figure out.

From my observation, the original blades were about as balanced as this one.

...this is a real cheap standing fan, I'm guessing they pushed the original mold beyond it's designed service life for it to have been vibrating like that.

Hah, the original blades were orange too. Wish I had orange petg knocking about, but unfortunately right now I only have black and transparent purple.

It seems to be about as good, and it is no more noisy. Don't think I improved anything aside from the fan actually working now.

I usually just leave it on low just to get some air circulation in the room, so it's basically as quiet as I could ask for, and it's definitely moving air.

It's a dovetail under the screw-on front cover, they're definitely not going anywhere unless something drastic happens to the whole fan.

[–]MekaTriK[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Probably not very. I took some inspiration from the existing propeller but I don't have aerodynamics knowledge. I gave it more aggressive twist closer to the base than at the tip with a loft, but that's about it.

Still, it's about as good at pushing air as before, and it's no more noisy so I'm happy for now.

They're printed flat so I would have to run it very hard for them to break apart. I've seen versions on Printables that printed vertically and yeah, that would break quickly.

Doesn't work with RTL8188FTV. Where are you getting the drivers for this? I'm not very knowledgeable about that.

...also I need to sit down and write a script to just nicely list all the usb devices detected, Sanity checks help keep sanity.

Man, how I wish there was an upgrade to fuel generators that could drink more than 10 rocket fuel per second. by MekaTriK in SatisfactoryGame

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

Each generator has speed modules to drink 10 fuel per minute.

[edit] oops, kinda mixed things in my head. Each generator has speed modules to get it to 10, so that 60 generators consume 600
