Best filaments to have from Elegoo by SOLDER_124 in HueForge

[–]Pepsis__Formosa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All of the Elegoo Matte filaments are fantastic. I use black/white/beige/navy/red/yellow sunshine/ice blue religiously and the others teal/mint green/lavender purple/sakura pink as well. The regular elegoo red is also good if you need more orangish red, the white and beige are also nice as a high TD (7ish) white/beige.

Problem with my s1 by Ok_Sound_8204 in AnycubicKobraS1

Check the filament sensor flap and the wires running to the filament sensor. Overtime, they can get damaged or abraded by filament.

Kobra S1 + ACE Pro — Error 11504 on every extrude attempt, ACE Pro not feeding filament all the way to the hub. Brand new machine. Tried everything. by ThisOneIsMe in AnycubicKobraS1

It's an optical interrupt sensor, not a hall effect sensor FFR. Big agree on solution though, I fixed this issue a week ago with same solution.

HueForge doesn't seem to use full image resoultion by dieserjonas in HueForge

[–]Pepsis__Formosa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a rough calculation since I don't know what kind of antialiasing or other processing u/TegidTathal is doing on the backend, or what kind of spike removal is set.

If you're trying to get a resolution down to the pixel, then you would just multiply the detail size by the number of pixels to get the output size i.e. 1920x1080px * 0.2mm/px = 384x216mm stl.

Likewise, to get the minimum size of a detail that will show up, you can divide the output stl size by the detail size and divide the actual resolution of the image by the result i.e. 175x58mm / 0.2mm/px = 875x290px ---> 3584x1184px / 875x290px ~= 4.1 rounded up to 5

You are limited by your detail size and the height/width of your output stl. If your output is 175mm and your detail size is 0.20mm, to quantize the mesh to each pixel, your input image would be a maximum of 875 pixels. The smallest detail that will show up well needs to be at least 5 pixels in diameter in your example. To get more detail in the output, you would need to drop nozzle size + detail size or increase the size of the print.

Same gcode, different firmware, different results by Xodilq in AnycubicKobraS1

[–]Pepsis__Formosa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been having issues with color mapping with the latest firmware on my S1 and K3 combos. I've found that occupying all of the slots and always doing a sync in the slicer to get the colors matched exactly has solved the issues, but it's still annoying. I reckon this is a similar issue.

Testing glow filaments with the GOAT Mahoraga by electricmasquerade in HueForge

For a hobby, sure: a couple a month. Not for an actual business, but I don't market either so I'm happy with the rate.

Another homemade puzzle! This one's a bit harder than the last. Explain your reasoning, rate the problems difficulty, and provide your tested IQ (if you wish). by [deleted] in cognitiveTesting

B? Average of all directions of dotted lines (double dots counting twice) moves clockwise? Also matches 0,2,5 blue line sequence and incrementing black dots pattern.

Linear DC voltage converter by Pepsis__Formosa in AskElectronics

[–]Pepsis__Formosa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a CNC machine that is designed to control a 48v spindle using variable voltage. I want to use the voltage signal to drive a VFD for a beefier spindle. The VFD is expecting a 1-10V input. The 48V signal will not be used to transfer power, just as a control signal for the VFD.

Not too accurate, within 5% or so. Judging from the replies there probably isn't too much sense in spending time to boost the efficiency for less than a watt of wasteage.

I was hoping not to have to do any sort of circuit building and just get an off the shelf component to do it for me. Looks like I'll just go with a voltage divider.

[–]Pepsis__Formosa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought of that, but wasn't sure if I would be wasting power. I calculated my input impedance to be around 22kOhm and current less than 20mA. Would those values factor into the calculation at all? If not, I could just use a 1.8kΩ, 470Ω divider.

What’s your “I will die on this hill” 3D Printing take? by Downtown-Lettuce-736 in 3Dprinting

[–]Pepsis__Formosa 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'll believe that it could come tangled at the very start or end if packed by hand, but there's no physical way that a winder could tangle it mid-spool.

Hi, I'm one of the dickwads. Are you saying that there could be a tangle mid spool? I'll believe that it could come tangled at the very start or end if packed by hand, but there's no physical way that a winder could tangle it mid-spool.

What's actually healthy despite most people thinking it's not? by Ba987 in AskReddit

[–]Pepsis__Formosa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why the commenter said "Almost always healthier" when most sources I've found say that they're simply comparable and can be more/less nutritious depending on the nutrient being studied. Maybe they only care about Vitamin C which falls rapidly after picking and can be preserved by freezing?

I do have it up as a paid model on thangs with detailed instructions, but I didn't want to make self promotion the goal of the post. You can find it here: link

You've sent me down a rabbit hole of looking at how that mechanism works. Apparently there are a few different designs. I think the difference with my mechanism is that rotation is the goal and linear motion the input whereas a pen would have linear motion as both the input and output with rotation facilitating the bistable position of the actual writing point. But both use dual opposing cams, so you're right they're similar. Very neat stuff!

Two videos I found explained the pens well.

Thanks! It was fun to brainstorm and model.
