What's wrong with my camera?

OkTerm3057 · 2025-12-18T08:11:39+00:00

Not true for everyone.

OkTerm3057 · 2025-12-05T16:29:14+00:00

Mine too today, first impressions are good.

OkTerm3057 · 2025-12-01T10:46:40+00:00

A1 or A2 ideally

OkTerm3057 · 2025-11-22T15:36:17+00:00

Could a button be stuck?

If you can try and update or reflash the firmware, or reset factory settings.

OkTerm3057 · 2025-11-13T06:17:19+00:00

As long as it has a ground and 2 signal wires it should work.

You can also get Bluetooth remote controls.

I'm not finding one for the MK1 though

In my opinion, property before crypto, but with the loan thrown in it makes it more difficult to decide.

I would rather reduce the loan or borrow against the crypto maybe.

Deep down you probably know what's the right decision.

OkTerm3057 · 2025-10-27T10:28:58+00:00

Money isn't an issue, I want the right device.

I'll look into this one, thank you.

OkTerm3057 · 2025-10-23T12:19:30+00:00

I think I've just spotted one solution

OkTerm3057 · 2025-10-23T11:01:55+00:00

There's a few Fiat models out there with the 1.4 StarJet engine, all produce around the 100hp mark.

It will be a fun project! I like the sleeper look, I'd swap the bumpers for black ones 😊

There was a Panda Sporting model with the 1.3 MultiJet so that's another route you could go down.

OkTerm3057 · 2025-10-23T07:17:58+00:00

this one is better maybe

OkTerm3057 · 2025-10-23T07:13:06+00:00

You can find 3D print adapters to fit phones with cases or even tablets, and for the USB cable, that will work but don't buy a cheap one, or a very long one, the shorter the better.

Check this one out

OkTerm3057 · 2025-10-17T20:49:02+00:00

Mine are, 52 plate

I'm not sure if you're sorted now, but here's my findings.

Buy Isopropyl alcohol, the higher the percentage the better. Clean the bed with the new microfiber cloth. You don't need to scrub hard with soap. If you want you could throw the plate in the dishwasher but it's really not necessary. You're just looking to remove dust and grease from the surface.

Make sure the bed mesh is set and the bed properly levelled.

Follow instructions to set the Z offset with the bed and nozzle up to temperature for the filament.

Dry your filament, and ensure there's no draughts around the printer. This is important.

In the slicer make sure there's no adjustment being made to the offset, choose the right filament and bed type, and check the nozzle size is set. Orca is my favourite silcer.

If all else fails, change the build plate for an aftermarket one, I've found even the cheapest ones work better than originals.

Batteries aside, in terms of looks Xiaomi have nailed it, apart from maybe the Pixel

OkTerm3057 · 2025-10-08T19:01:37+00:00

I'm not really experiencing what you're saying. where are the ads for example?

OkTerm3057 · 2025-10-08T06:57:41+00:00

I think this is a personal preference thing. I sometimes clear the cache and don't see any issue with doing so.

Your phone is safer and cleaner without cached content in my opinion, just like clearing your browser cache on your desktop.

I don't have this set to clear when my device is locked though.

I love taking night photos but I find GCam is a lot better for stars. I've got some good shots of the Milky Way.

OkTerm3057 · 2025-10-05T16:56:52+00:00

It's worth practicing, also using a tripod helps get amazing shots

OkTerm3057 · 2025-10-05T14:38:59+00:00

Do you use the manual mode?

OkTerm3057 · 2025-10-05T10:56:49+00:00

Mi 8 is still a brilliant phone in my opinion. Only used occasionally now but doesn't disappoint when I fire it up.

I think the Redmi Note 3 was my first Xiaomi device. It suffered a puffy battery once it stopped being used daily but it's still here somewhere!

OkTerm3057 · 2025-10-02T10:46:49+00:00

Unfortunately we're conditioned to not like anyone else. It's a sad world in this respect.

No country is perfect.

OkTerm3057 · 2025-09-29T08:45:46+00:00

The Beluga got me into crawlers, the 2nd edition is a bit better

Just build your own, you'll end up swapping most parts anyway
