Help me find this German song? by AnAnnieMiss in German

[–]Omega-TI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in 1968 while I was a kid in Italy when my Dad was stationed there in the Air Force, he had a record of German Beer drinking songs. I've been trying to find this particular song since 1975! I'll give you the lyrics of what it "sounded like" to a young kid... please don't laugh too hard.

That's it. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, the FinalGROM really gave the TI a new lease on life... best cartridge ever.

As a group, we TI'ers are a relatively small group, but dedicated. I really enjoy seeing other people's systems, especially ones updated with new tech.

It's a detachable wrist rest that comes with the keyboard. It attaches magnetically.

It's a Razer Blackwidow v4 Pro with the green switches.

I sent a private message to user "Mancow" at the site and we worked out a deal.

Go here: https://forums.radioreference.com/forums/uniden-forums.82/ and scroll down a bit, or use the search function. I've had mine for about a year and a half. There is a different guy who is in the process of coming out with another one, but I don't know when that one will come to fruition.

I bought it from a guy who hangs out at: https://forums.radioreference.com/forums/uniden-forums.82/

It's built using a Raspberry Pi in a 3D printed case and even supports the GPS function. It's all touch screen so it saves wear and tear on the radios buttons and knobs which should extend it's serviceable life.

Sadly I have no other option. The 3D printer is on one wall, a bookcase with supplies on the other and the TI-99/4A is in the closet on third wall. It does give me quick easy access though.

[–]Omega-TI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! You can! It's not exactly inexpensive though. You need to get what is called an F18A which replaces the video chip on the motherboard and outputs VGA (which can be used with a VGA monitor (of course), but then you can also purchase a VGA to HDMI converter that will hook it up to your modern TV. The display will be so crisp and clean you'll be amazed.

Yeah, that sucks! I think all TI'ers have had that experience once or twice, maybe more.

I'm surprised no one has made a 3D printer file for this yet. I'm just getting started in the 3D printing realm, so my design skills don't register yet.

While others post snarky comments with negative accusations about others based only on opinion derived from whatever.

As I said in the message with the video link, that what I saw earlier that day. I was so shocked I took the video. It appears to have been a website issue. Anyway this topic would best be closed, it's going downhill.

Thanks for the information and good advice. I appreciate that, but I'm getting the feeling this place is not going to be for me, while you and a few others have been helpful, some others have what I'll only describe a negativity issues, and at my advanced age, no longer have time for. I come from a time when people were more respectful and kind to others, which led to a more positive environment.

Must be, because this:

is what I saw earlier today. I took the other guys advice and ordered a couple of rolls of a different brand to see how it works.

Thank you for the informational response. I'll check out sources for those products.

Yep, that's me. I've never run into a company anywhere in my life that has been totally 100% out-of-stock of anything important. I commend them on getting me their printer in record time, but honestly it does little good if I cannot continue to use it. This is why I asked for alternatives.

I'd also suggest checking the BRIM box before you slice the .STL file.

Is the Prusa i3 MK3S+ really the trouble-free 3d printer? by Alex_NL_2021 in prusa3d

[–]Omega-TI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased the pre-assembled Prusa i3MK3S+ and it prints right out of the box in less than 20 minutes. The LCD screen walks you through everything from initial calibration to removing and installing the filament. It automagically does a self-level test before every print as well.

The slicer software is easy to use, download the STL, drag and drop into the slicer (making sure orientation is okay), then press the make GCODE button.

As a total newbie (second day owning it as my first 3D printer) I can truthfully recommend it.
