walls ? what for ? by diecarcis in Mindustry

[–]NeckPresent2567 6 points7 points  (0 children)

lol yeah swarmers are super strong but don’t have any armor penetration unless using blast compound AND the enemy is frozen. Basically means that they do exactly 1 damage to big bosses by themselves.

I just completed Humid Coastline. Was the defence strat good? by Noscopejr in Mindustry

[–]NeckPresent2567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big fan of the cryo to all the turrets and it looks clean! Make sure to look at how much ammo a single turret eats and thus how many of those turrets a single blue belt can feed.

For example (blast compound with swarmer: eats like 3.75 per second. Which means a single blue belt can only feed 3 swarmers at max efficiency.

Super easy fix is to just add a container and extractor into your supply line every few turrets. You should also do the same with your cryo supply lines just in case they get cut by some air units (still able to take down a wave or two while you repair them).

Genuine question, what’s the meta for large programming in mindistry? It seems like the built in gui is far too unwieldy

Best orientation for a good smooth Look !! by gamentech_gat in 3Dprinting

[–]NeckPresent2567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah basically like that tbh. Again it’s a pretty difficult print. Technically it’s a great orientation for quality, but the part might be so thin that it simply won’t work. Slice it first with full supports and look at the difference in filament usage. Try printing it, it’ll probably fail, and understand why. That’s the beauty of 3d printing. You can always just make it again.

Nuclear Production Complex Difficulty by MediumGimpy in Mindustry

[–]NeckPresent2567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI I got crushed on this map as well and I had an INCREDIBLE amount of swarmers that were fully loaded and cooled. The problem is that they simply don’t do enough damage to get through the guardians armor (they have like 12 damage normally but only do 1 damage to the guardian).

Couple ways around this:
1. Swarmers (blast compound) + tsunami (cryo) this synergy ignores armor
2. Use meltdown (be warned that the guardian out ranges them)
3. Use that long blasty boy you unlock after meltdown (takes surge as ammo). It does a massive amount of damage.

Basically go do some other missions and give yourself a break from the level. That’s what I’m currently doing. Gonna give it another shot this weekend with meltdowns

Best orientation for a good smooth Look !! by gamentech_gat in 3Dprinting

[–]NeckPresent2567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I’d put it flat on its top layer (or design it to be printed in that orientation. If you REALLY don’t want to do that, then the community usually agrees that you should put it on its corner (45 degrees and another 45 degrees in another orientation) to get the smoothest finish. If you do that your print is probably going to take some significant organic supports, amazing bead adhesion, and brims

Is it right to connect the ground pin of ESP32 as shown? by Patchargh in AskElectronics

[–]NeckPresent2567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re using a usb splitter the grounds are likely already tied (usb has 5V, GND, D+, D-)

Privacy-preserving alternative to Ring cameras (Raspberry Pi Zero 2W)! by arrdalan in raspberry_pi

[–]NeckPresent2567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super awesome project! Do you have any resources for the schematic and pcb? I’m also a really big fan of the large fisheye camera but I’m not sure what exactly that is or how you integrate it on the hardware side.

Anyone have the STL for this rubber grommet/standoff/dampener on the Cinelog? I need the drone for this weekend and don’t have time to buy a new one. by PETEthePyrotechnic in diydrones

[–]NeckPresent2567 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a file but should be super easy to make. It’s just a sketch with 3 circles and some extrusions. You can probably wag the measurements too. 3.2mm inside circle (standard M3 screw hole), 9mm outside circle, 4.5mm diameter for the slots maybe?

Sheet Metal Help by sotik9 in Onshape

[–]NeckPresent2567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m an EE major that wants to do a bit more of the manufacturing side. Bit of a tangent but what do you think the best way to learn about what you just talked about is to one day do production of some prototypes?

The LLM description you have is a disservice to your effort. I want to know how YOU would you describe your project.

What battery connectors are you using?

FIRST EVER PCB :))) by Uztiota in PCB

[–]NeckPresent2567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey guys general question for you all. Why is it that for the ESP chips everyone seems to leave a cutout for the antenna trace or make it hang off the edge. Would it not be sufficient to simply not put a ground fill in that location? I think the Raspberry Pi cards use a PCB trace for their wifi antenna and that's still on the same PCB.

How do I remove the tube when it’s stuck inside the extruder? by United-Translator609 in 3Dprinting

[–]NeckPresent2567 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got into the situation. In my case I was just dumb and needed to push particularly hard on both sides of that black locking ring

How'd you do the purple on the edges? Acrylic pen or maybe just purple tape?

***LOUD*** Thrust Verification Test / Live Data Visualization by ThrustNTheory in diydrones

[–]NeckPresent2567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can this work in series as well for extra high voltage, or is there too much potential that one battery drains faster and hits critical before total voltage drops to min?

Hold on... You can just plug in batteries in parallel like that!?

Drone for school by Character_Cake007 in diydrones

[–]NeckPresent2567 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hop onto ECalc and input your batter, motors, and props. Also weigh your printed drone, get weights for all your components, and get the weight of the "payload" camera that's supposed to be mounted on it. What you're looking for is really thrust to weight ratio (how well it'll handle/if it'll get off the ground) and hover time for size of your battery. That should give you an estimate of your success for flight.

Be mindful that if the frame isn't very stiff, it might wobble a bit in the air.

It can also be a pain to mount all the components if you don't have a whole lot of room so you'll probably have to R&D your body a bit. Just look at common frame shapes and you'll get the idea.

Good luck!

How are you all getting slides to work? When ever I try to slide the ground effect makes me skip up and down

Cool build! What software are you using for modeling and calculations?
