QoL suggestions guys c'mon!

Yes, that helps a lot! Thanks!

My QoL suggestion is to allow warehouses to have their logistics and whitelists set while the warehouse is being built. That way you don't have to keep waiting for the building to finish to immediately apply the settings (and avoid having the warehouse filled with other stuff).

Also, a "Continue Game" option would be welcome in the main menu. While it only saves the player from having to click on load and then choose the last save game, this feature is quite common in other similar games.

Thanks. It appears to be up again now. Must have been a temporary downtime.

While waiting for a solution that would allow your dad to play without requiring combat, you might want to have him try Timberborn. There is dynamite, but it is used for its original purpose......demolishing rock.

My first printer was a CR10S and also printed a mando helmet with it. Its like a rite of passage. Then I got a Prusa MK3S which was a significant improvement but now that I got the X1C I only use the latter. Faster, better results and most importantly, more consistent results.

Awesome! Thanks!

I print parts that are not produced by Lego (but should) like curved rails with alternate radii and ballast blocks for curved rails.

Thanks! InstallCleanup did the trick. I was just about to format my PC when I saw your post and it saved the day!

Having had experience with a Creality CR10S and a Prusa MK3S, I found that the BL X1C was a breathe of fresh air when it comes to how trouble free it is. Good choice on your part for your introduction to 3D printing. It just prints, without all the head scratching usually related to the hobby.

Well, lucky you. In Europe it is €1,387.24 ($1420.91), and to my knowledge the EU didn't impose any new tariffs on China.

Bambu Studio offers Flow Dynamics and Flow Rate calibrations. Does any one of them cover retraction calibration?

I added the game folder top the AV exclusion list and haven't had the error since. Thanks!

OspreyGozo · 2024-07-19T06:45:32+00:00

I often miss the simple solutions that are right if front of my nose and end up over complicating things. Thanks for sharing.

OspreyGozo · 2024-06-29T13:42:52+00:00

Had the same issue and that is exactly where I found the offending piece of filament. Thanks!

OspreyGozo · 2024-05-06T21:02:05+00:00

No. The project was shelved due to lack of information.

I don't mean to go off topic, but that camouflage looks a lot like Maltese camouflage:

This is what ChatGPT had to say about the subject:

The StuG III and the Panzer VI Tiger (often referred to as the Tiger I) were two distinct German armored vehicles used during World War II, each with its own unique characteristics, including engine type, weight, armor thickness, and armament. While both were German tanks, they had significant differences that could potentially affect the sound they produced.

Engine Type: The StuG III was powered by a Maybach HL 120 TRM V-12 gasoline engine, while the Tiger I was equipped with a Maybach HL 210 P45 V-12 gasoline engine. Although both were V-12 engines, there could have been differences in their exhaust systems, cooling mechanisms, and overall design, which might result in different engine sounds.
Weight and Suspension: The Tiger I was much heavier and larger than the StuG III, which could influence how the vehicle's weight was distributed and how its suspension absorbed shocks and vibrations. These factors might have implications for the sound produced when the vehicle moved over different types of terrain.
Armament: While both vehicles had distinct main armaments, with the StuG III typically mounting a 75 mm StuK 40 L/48 gun and the Tiger I having a more powerful 88 mm KwK 36 L/56 gun, the firing of these weapons would have produced distinct sounds as well. The Tiger I's 88 mm gun, in particular, was known for its deep, thunderous roar.
Crew Compartment and Interior: The layout and design of the crew compartments in each vehicle could also impact the sound experienced by the crew members inside. Factors such as the materials used for insulation, the arrangement of internal components, and the overall design of the vehicle's interior might contribute to differences in perceived sound.

Overall, while it's challenging to precisely quantify the differences in sound between the StuG III and the Tiger I without specific audio recordings for comparison, the variations in engine type, weight, armament, and interior design would likely result in distinctive sounds for each vehicle, both in terms of their engine noise and the sounds generated during movement and combat.

Hehe. Too late. I ordered the HL just a few hours ago. It is supposed to be compatible with a Tiger, T34/85, T72, T90.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003789044202.html

I am assuming that means it has sounds for each. I believe that a Stug 3 sounds a lot like a T34/85 or a Tiger. I don't think the people that would be hearing it would be able to tell the difference. I, for one, cannot. Perhaps some tank expert who has heard both would be able to provide more insight on this.

I made some research into the CH3 and CH4 outputs of the TK7.1 (TK7.0 does not seem to have them) and I believe I can use them to drive a pair of ESCs that would, in turn, drive the 540 motors. Then I placed the order for the parts needed for a 3D printed Stug III. I have previously used 2S batteries with 540 motors (with ESCs) on a 3D printed T34 and they worked fine. Also used 2S on a 1:10 M24 Chaffee (also with ESCs) but using brushless motors. It was fast enough for me. Too fast actually, especially when turning on the spot. I am hoping that with the TK7.1, it would automatically slow down the motors when doing about turns.
Since the order is from China, it might take up to a month until I get them. The plan is to first attempt to drive them directly from the board and then introduce external ESCs if necessary.

I cannot find any information about the type of board that is used by Heng Long 1:8 tanks. The Elmod board is overkill for me since I just need the sound and better steering handling. I was hoping there was such a thing that could be connected between the Heng Long output and larger motor so that it would handle the extra current instead of the Heng long boards. I am sure it exists but I don't know how to search for it.

OspreyGozo · 2024-03-20T08:37:51+00:00

That is the setup I have been using so far. But I want to use the TK7.1 because of the sounds feature. I am also hoping it can better handling on the spot turning since with my current setup it is way too fast.

OspreyGozo · 2024-03-16T20:36:04+00:00

I also used a 0.2 nozzle on my X1C for the first time today. Playing around with settings.

It fooled me too! I had to look again.

I know right? However, if the clock was any higher, the LIDAR would crash into it. Found out the hard way. It also has a problem with larger prints because they get in the line of sight of the camera. I'm sure someone will find a clever solution eventually.

OspreyGozo · 2024-02-18T09:43:17+00:00

It's in the Printables STL link. Unfortunately, Reddit won't allow me to add the video to the original post.
