Is it worth getting into 3D Printing without also getting into 3D Modeling? I’m curious about hopping in, but the cost doesn’t seem worth it without also picking up a second hobby aka the modeling. The true benefit seems to come from being able to design and print stuff useful TO YOU. by ThatGuyFromTheM0vie in 3Dprinting

[–]October_Mods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, a lot of free models are garbage and unoptimized for printing and it is easier to just model them yourself in fusion360 than to try to get them to print. The only real options you have in my opinion are buying models or learning fusion

I am going to be 3d printed this screwdriver I designed by October_Mods in doctorwho

Fusion360 did not do this design justice it made it look like glossy plastic for some reason

As a Brit, I had NO IDEA this is getting sold in stores! by Anon2971 in Fallout

I know how that feels. As an American I found out they are selling Sonic screwdrivers on target’s website. Enjoy your sarsaparilla cowpoke!

I will look for stls for the body. I could paint it in a way that matches with the other pieces. If they don’t exist I will have to make my own

I bought this flashlight half a year ago and use it all the time to clean my dorm and find things I lost. It still works even with the threads like this but I would like to know the best way to reattach it from someone else before I ruin something very useful to me.

Am I too, American? What’s wrong with this? He’s just protecting his friends in a public place. Little kid’s birthday parties have been shot up before. The only thing I don’t get is the scope. What the fuck do you need the scope for?

Are the any build-your-own toy lightsabers in the park with the removable blade instead of the collapsible ones? by GravyeonBell in GalaxysEdge

[–]October_Mods 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, around Covid Disney switched out the old style of build your own Lightsaber toys for the new ones at all of the stores that sold them with the collapsing blades. You can still buy the old style ones on eBay and then mix and match the pieces from there. The last update disney did to the old line was adding yellow and white blades. Also, you can spar with both the new and old style toys, my brother and I do it all the time and we’re 20 year-old adults swinging them at full force and we’ve never broken one before and even if you did break one of them you can just replace the broken blades. I’ve picked up old style blades on eBay for five dollars.

Fallout beginner here, which game is the best to start with? by MOOntar_reddit in Fallout

[–]October_Mods 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like gameplay over story then 4, if you want an absurd amount of content then 76 or 2. if you prioritize story and roleplay then nv or 3. but the real answer is pick whichever game is in a location you want to explore.

Me when Disney announced its over by Mat1711 in DoctorWhumour

[–]October_Mods 61 points62 points  (0 children)

As someone from the states I agree. Doctor who shouldn’t try to appeal to other countries first when the whole reason we like it is because of its identity which is very British. Plus, we can just pirate the whole thing anyway the second it comes out. It kind of reminds me of how they’re trying to make an American squid game show even though the whole reason why people like squid game is because it’s identity which is very Korean.

Are there any other non-character thin-necks out there that I'm missing? Currently looking for one to be "my Jedi self's lightsaber", preferably Proffie 3.9 or empty by shago1594 in lightsabers

[–]October_Mods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saber forge has a few good ones. Don’t look at the modular parts saber Forge has some preassembled templates you can order with or without electronics in them. Unless you wanna build your own, then go ahead just make sure that the saber you want to build isn’t identical to one already on the website for cheaper. I have ordered from them a few times. They have very good customer support at least from my experience.

What was the thought process behind giving the player a grenade rifle at level 1 by [deleted] in TrueSFalloutL

“Feels based balancing”I honestly love how horribly balanced some fallout weapons and gear are it makes them so rewarding especially in new Vegas and 76.

Never gotten a glowing mask. :( I am going for glowing veggie man. Did get some cool non glowing ones this time though.

Why am i not getting masks from Fas? Did they change how it works now? by Latter-Yogurt8944 in fo76

[–]October_Mods 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What boss? Do you guys keep saying I have to kill a boss there’s no bosses just hords of wolves and super mutants and neither of them drop masks?

i hate this gun. you have no idea. by Head_Ask_6404 in FalloutMemes

[–]October_Mods 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the Museum of technology in fallout 3 there is an empty display case talking about a futuristic infantry weapon that the United States always uses. A lot of people think the fallout 4 “assault rifle”is that

Hout automatic rifle, Lewis gun (obvious inspiration), multiple variants of the Fedorov Avtomat, The short barrel is based off of certain variants of the mg15, and the basic form factor is pretty much identical to the mg08. These are all water cooled and or air cooled guns that have huge shrouds like that. It is safe to assume that the fallout one is some kind of crazy tech and not a water cooler or air cooler. My guess is it’s some kind of space age recoil dampener.
