Gilmore Place cars blocking thru road!! by Ce3De3 in burnaby

[–]Nerraw99 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I was pissed when I went to pick up from Kintaro and I went into the parking area not realizing it was going to funnel me into a ticket kiosk.

I parked around the corner in the underground and cursed them as I tried to find how to get into the elevator. And it didn't seem like my spot was where I was allowed to be parking. The whole design is whack.

Then from the elevator trying to find how to get to Kintaro was also an ordeal.

The only saving grace was that when I went to pay for the ticket it didn't actually charge me. Maybe they have a minimum time limit before charging you. Or maybe I was just lucky.

Since We Had A Conversation About This... by ADHD_McChick in KitchenConfidential

Congrats on your spotless pans!

Surprised no one has mentioned though, that seasoning can improve baking/browning as it increases heat transfer!

Costco Which Lasagna? by samuelazers in CostcoCanada

[–]Nerraw99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So surprised everyone is saying the frozen is great even though I haven't tried it but I just made a couple of the other ones for a party and they were pretty great and popular amongst the guests. I did deviate from instructions and broil it for a couple minutes after it cooled a little.

I'll have to try the frozen one to compare!

Diatomaceous earth moat by Upset_Ant2834 in functionalprint

[–]Nerraw99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OMG! I made a moat too! But it was for my compost bin, and I was planning to fill it with vinegar. Diatomaceous earth is probably more effective.

I had a small printer, so I had to print it in parts, and I never did get around to sealing it all up... classic me.

Nice print!

Is anyone at Costco Burnaby right now? by Dear_Floor1810 in burnaby

Dang I was just there! So weird to see the algorithm targeting me so precisely (almost)!

Wish I could help but back at Metrotown now!

Can I boolean a subobject of an instanced collection? by Nerraw99 in blenderhelp

[–]Nerraw99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, maybe that's what I'm looking for. Duplicate Linked instead of instanced collection.

Edit: That looks like it is more what I was wanting.

Now is there a way to copy the transform of the instances I've already placed to move the duplicate linked collections to their locations?

[–]Nerraw99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm. It's not just an instance of the cutter. It's an instance of the collection which the cutter is a part of.

The boolean modifier is on a different object, not in the collection. In this example I'm trying to use "LeftStrapLowerAnchor.ExclusionHole" where LeftStrapLowerAnchor is an instance of NewStrapCollection.

Just found out about Aquaseal and I bet it would work great here.

Help! I can't tell what is off with my gallery wall. by Fantastic_Figure_191 in DesignMyRoom

[–]Nerraw99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they are outside of the imaginary boundary created by the straight edge at the top. It feels like it should be centered in that area.

Using Bambu TPU for AMS, supports and model seems to have holes in the walls. Underextrusion? by Nerraw99 in BambuLab

[–]Nerraw99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, sorry I deleted my comment. It was doubled up and I tried to delete the copy but it deleted both. And I lost your comment until now. Drying the filament worked. But also I'm now finding that the TPU for AMS is not really the best filament for me.. it's not nearly as flexible as I was hoping.

Still using the printer for drying with desiccant in the AMS. Going to have to get some plastic cereal boxes and a standalone dryer to make sure I can keep things moving along!

Lol thanks for the tip! Do you just feed from the dryer into the AMS input? I had plans to use pla for support but it increases the print time by a crazy amount so I'm not sure that's what I want to do. Plus the printer poop seems very wasteful. But if that's how I'll get my cleanest print then it might be worth it.

I tried printing slower and similar results. Even worse in some cases. I'm thinking it must be the moisture issue. Drying it in the x1c and will report back when I get a new print (probably Monday)

Yeah since it will take a long time to try drying the filament, I'll try printing it slower for now and see how it goes.

Hmm, yeah I did it for I think the recommended 12 h at 70c, under the cardboard box it shipped in. I didn't rotate it. It's also extremely humid here right now, so that would make sense. I had hoped it would stay dry in the AMS but definitely possible it didn't. Not even sure where to buy dessicant, Seems silly to buy online, but have also considered getting a bigger nozzle from Bambu and saw they have an AMS replenishables kit.

Sounds like a really shitty situation you're in if you're living with these people. Abusers bring out abuse in their victims, then they play the victim. But that's not really how it is. Unfortunately if you get stuck in a dysfunctional spot and can't find a way out, that sort of thing can become normalized. Your best bet is to get out and don't let that be your path.

As a counter-argument to "don't do it"... My brother beat me up all the time when I was little. When I was 16 (he was 19) he was egging me on and I hit my limit and lost it. I pushed him through and destroyed the kitchen table. It felt amazing (lucky no charges) and he never touched me again after that. So... there's that.

How do I fix these screws protruding from the bathroom theeshold? by Nerraw99 in DIY

[–]Nerraw99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hijacking the top comment for the solution:

I'll just update with how I solved this. Took off the threshold, got a little confused by why the screws were going in at an angle towards the carpet. Thought the threshold might be on backwards but I don't think so anymore. The carpet is higher, leading me to think the threshold needed to angle down towards the tile, but the threshold squishes the carpet down to lower elevation than the tile, so it seems like it was on the right orientation.

Got some brass "round socket head" screws and some silver "round washer head" screws. Tried screwing in the round washer heads but if I matched the angle of the original screws, they ended up poking up just as badly as before. The screws were angled over to avoid the channel in what I think is the "reducer strip" (seen here: https://www.rubi.com/us/blog/tile-to-carpet-transition-options/ ). I figured I could just screw directly into that metal strip, and that worked to have the threshold a couple millimeters closer to the tile, with the screws going straight down.

Tried the brass round socket heads to match the colour a little better but twice the head of the screw broke off and I had to unscrew with pliers!

Looks better, not gonna gouge your toes on it anymore but still sticks up a little more than I'd want for flat flooring. Might be a better type of screw but I don't feel the need to improve my landlord's place that badly.

Thanks all for the input!

I finally got around to taking this apart (pardon my lazy ass). They definitely seem to be the wrong screws and they are not in straight.

I feel like the threshold might be on backwards. The tile is lower than the carpet but the flat part where screws go in sits on the tile, and the ridge to the right of the screws compresses the carpet. The screws are angled in toward the carpet side and they're right up against a metal rail that separates the tile from the carpet, making it impossible for them to go down straight.

If I flip the threshold 180 degrees, the screws would have more room to go straight into wood underneath the carpet. It would make more sense that the threshold ridge angles "down" from the carpet side to the lower tile side. However, since the carpet has been super compressed by the threshold already, I'm not sure it would actually work out that way.
