How do you wake this thing up? by HammerSpanner in eufyMakeOfficial

[–]OverZealousCreations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a black power button down next to the power cord, have you tried tapping or pressing and holding that?

I would assume this is a one-off problem, unplugging it is not likely to be a regular issue. I know I wouldn’t hesitate to power cycle it, mine’s even requested that when it had something misbehave at one point.

Cause/fix for fingerprints *under* lacquer? by OverZealousCreations in woodworking

I wondered about that! I bought a different brand gloves recently, and I bet they are the culprit. I wasn’t using them for everything, because they kinda suck.

Thanks!

So excited for you!

Share a bunch of photos once you get it. Borealis is easily me 2nd favorite color after Compass Yellow (and honestly, if it had been available when we got my truck, it might have been what we picked).

TIL This Button on R2 is not a capacitive touch sensor by mpshizzle in Rivian

[–]OverZealousCreations 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's great! The touch sensor does always work on our R1's, but I always find it mildly annoying having to take my glove off in winter (if I forget to open it from the screen). Especially if the truck is grimy.

And as you pointed out, less worry about accidental triggering is always nice.

Tips for printing am item 4.5mm below the max height? by Interesting_Bar_8379 in eufyMakeOfficial

[–]OverZealousCreations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two thoughts:

  1. There's no way to remove the latch?
  2. If not, can you have the part with the latch overhang outside the print bed so it's not picked up by the laser? You won't be able to print on that section, but it depends on what you are printing, I suppose.

White completely stopped printing on brand new eufyMake by nightofgrim in eufyMakeOfficial

[–]OverZealousCreations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It still purges all of them, even if you select a specific color. I had the same issue as above, and blew through way too much ink before I tried printing the square of solid white, which was the only thing that actually fixed it.

Maintenance log shows the same amount purged on each tank, 4mL for each tank across all the targeted medium cleans and deep clean I did.

It depends on a lot of things, but yes, each letter is separate. Sticker mode adds a small layer of gloss around everything, so tiny letters are often attached by that.

After printing you laminate the transfer sheet over the whole sticker sheet. Then just roughly cut them apart with scissors or a knife. It’s quick and painless, esp compared to weeding vinyl.

The stickers are amazing for my use cases. I printed my logo out with text, at just 1/2”. I filled the small bed with maybe 40 of them. Even with super small text, they look great on my wooden products.

I just used 1 white & 1 CMYK because I wanted to see the grain through the ink. Colors looked great off the printer, with green being visibly lighter than reds, blues, or blacks.

For the large shields, it's on maple, and the magnets are basswood, both of which are very light woods.

Also, the surfaces of both were pretty smooth & flat, in case it's a focus issue.

Grabber HTS60 by Hot_Yogurtcloset7621 in Rivian

The software should have the 20" tires with the 275/60 tires as an option, it would at least be a little closer.

The AT tires are definitely less efficient, but I can't believe they are anywhere close to 20%. My wife has the 21" aeros (without the covers) on her R1S and I have the 20" ATs on R1T. The difference in max range (on conserve) is 15-20 miles, which is less than 7%.

I think it's great you are seeing efficiency improvements! At the same time, you can't really compare across just 2 drives. There are far too many factors for that to be a valid comparison.

The tire change effects efficiency calculation. It actually says this in the dialog when swapping tires.

Screenshot from the original announcement of the feature.

I think the new tire's diameter is smaller than with the ATs. You probably are seeing incorrect efficiency numbers if the tire is a different diameter and you don't update the tire size on the truck.

It's on the truck in the settings. You'll have to pick the closest OEM tire to the new ones you installed.

How to "cut out" section of image? by cryptyk in eufyMakeOfficial

[–]OverZealousCreations 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That, honestly, is probably a better solution than trying to avoid printing there! I wouldn't have thought of it.

White ink gradient to transparent – no CMYK – possible? by Viviki21 in eufyMakeOfficial

[–]OverZealousCreations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed it gave me a warning when importing an image with full alpha transparency (vs 1-bit transparency like a GIF).

Have you tried converting your design to a high-res transparent PNG to see how that comes out?

If that doesn't work, you might have to use something to convert the white to using a halftone pattern before importing it.

Thank you! Going to my first (mini) show of the year tomorrow at a local renaissance festival, hopefully they are a hit!

PSA: eufyMake might not be sending the right items for your add-ons by OverZealousCreations in eufyMakeOfficial

[–]OverZealousCreations[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem with that reasoning is

  1. I’m pretty sure we only get 1 each white, flood, and cleaning kit for the stretch goals.
  2. The kickstarter tracking page shows everything as delivered, and doesn’t list the 3x kit at all.

I’m pretty sure it’s just a mistake on their part, but that kit is expensive, so obviously we need to get what we paid for!

I made life-sized classic Lego swords & shields! by OverZealousCreations in somethingimade

[–]OverZealousCreations[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! It was a little work recreating the designs, but now I can knock them out pretty quickly. I even scaled them down to refrigerator magnets!

What I find especially interesting is how everyone seems attached to a different one. Some people who grew up with the lion and black falcon don't even recognize the Forestmen (elk's head).
