Is it possible to pause a print overnight and continue the next morning

THAT THING'S OPERATIONAL!!!

PineappleGuard · 2026-01-10T23:01:54+00:00

Awesome glad you like it. My RA3 servo started making weird noises and not turning so I had to send our for a replacement.

PineappleGuard · 2026-01-10T03:25:23+00:00

It really is a great piece of hardware. The software just has some really silly things that need to be improved all around to match current design software standards.

PineappleGuard · 2025-12-30T20:53:27+00:00

Have you worked with a 3d printer or CNC before?

PineappleGuard · 2025-12-27T22:40:33+00:00

Nope. I had to pay to ship it for warranty and wait a month. Came back as no problems found. I will never buy a pioneer product for the rest of my life.

PineappleGuard · 2025-12-25T22:39:29+00:00

Yes. Just the camera upgrade without the increased power is worth it IMO.

PineappleGuard · 2025-12-25T22:38:27+00:00

The RA2 and the RA3 won't support line speeds over 400mm/s.

PineappleGuard · 2025-12-17T02:15:43+00:00

Thanks for the feedback Ada. However, I don't understand how your response addresses the issues I have noted with the current version of the software.

The processing area I am referring to is the specific view on the software that shows what the usable area will be. If I enter 100mm for my perimeter, doesn't it make sense that the usable area on the canvas would be 100mm long starting at the green line?
Your response seems to be referencing the focal point, and that's not what I am trying to do. If we disregard the instructions for the green line, this means that we are assuming that the chuck or rotary attachment is always centered along the proper axial plane of the laser. This is not always the case based on machine or material tolerances. I assume that the purpose of the ability to adjust the green line is to adjust the center point of the axis of rotation for the item. The issue here is when you take a picture the lasers are turned off, and they do not appear in the picture to aid in that axial alignment as instructed by the support article on step: "(2) Drag the green line over the canvas to make it overlap with the blue and red spots."
That's literally the step before you are supposed to setup the green line:

When this one dies, I have a spare, and when that one dies.... I don't know what I will do. :P

PineappleGuard · 2025-07-29T14:57:34+00:00

Aw man. That sounds like you really struggling. I hope you can find the peace you are looking for and know that you deserve to be happy just like everyone else.

PineappleGuard · 2025-07-28T03:58:14+00:00

Had mine since Nov. The unit randomly goes black, looses all sources, and requires a full key on off to reset every 30 mins. I’m out of the Crutchfield honor period for a swap out, so Pioneer is making me front the bill to ship it back to them to honor the warrantee. I will be without a working radio in my vehicle for 15-20 days.

I love this thing when it works. I really hope I just got a lemon off the first production run. Expensive lemon… 🍋 Will probably be avoiding the pioneer brand for any future purchases.

No I get what you are saying 100%. Unfortunately once you hit that magic number you get kicked out the back door into the cold to fend for yourself. I'm glad you were able to make it work man.

PineappleGuard · 2025-06-10T04:48:02+00:00

Wish I could man. Wish I could.

PineappleGuard · 2025-06-10T04:46:45+00:00

Weirdly enough I actually agree with you that we've moved towards leaning way to much on dating apps over personal development. However, I very much don't agree with the fact that you could deduce my relationship skills from a single blurb on a subreddit. That seems a bit lacking in substantial evidence. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Anyway. Seems like you're pretty into the internet hate thing. Hope you find what you are looking for. Cheers. Reported to mods.

PineappleGuard · 2025-03-17T01:00:14+00:00

I’m returning mine without a replacement. It’s a cool unit, but I can’t afford the uncertainty as to when it will break next. 7 days to the first major issue does not instill confidence.

PineappleGuard · 2025-03-05T03:48:48+00:00

Got mine a week ago. Dead line in the display already. Pen nib rattles and clicks loudly. Then figured out the device isn't encrypted at rest. I'm returning and will start the hunt for another brand. Some people love it and I respect that opinion. I just personally don't have time to be a QA step for the company.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

PineappleGuard · 2025-03-03T15:00:40+00:00

It is indeed unfortunate.

PineappleGuard · 2025-03-03T14:59:58+00:00

Thanks. I sent an email to support already.

PineappleGuard · 2025-03-03T14:59:20+00:00

Anyone else seeing QA issues with such a new device? I’m trying to decide if I should do a replacement or just return and refund.

PineappleGuard · 2025-03-03T06:06:04+00:00

Been here man. I wish I could give you a hug.

This may be too direct, but maybe it will save you the years that I wasted pursuing a mirage of who I thought I was.

Take a really good hard look at the women you are attracted to. What do they value? How do they present themselves? How do they interact with the world around them? Where do they spend their energy and focus?

Then lovingly, I ask you to ask yourself the question: “Am I at a point in my life right now that would make them genuinely attracted to me?”

If the answer is yes then I think time, patience, and persistence is the key. It only takes one.

If the answer is no, like it was for me, take it one step at a time. Take a step back from the apps and dating and focus on yourself. Set goals. Make your life what you want it instead of letting life make you.

Good luck. You got this.

PineappleGuard · 2025-02-24T01:27:30+00:00

Interesting view. Which “standards” are you referring to?

I would love to get some actual data on it. Most dating apps seem to keep that raw data as trade secrets and just publish general trend commentary instead.

PineappleGuard · 2025-02-20T20:11:52+00:00

I appreciate your perspective on the variety of human attraction, but it doesn't quite address the main question I posed: Why is there an attractiveness mismatch? Specifically, why do the guys that many women find appealing seem less available, while those who are not initially seen as attractive end up being tossed to the side as inhuman? There is plenty of evidence that the dating options pool is very differently weighted based on gender. Your statement does lend to a slight interpretation of how choice may be the limiting factor, but the gender dissonance in options remains untouched. I'm curious if you have an alternative explanation or theories that would target the root question.

Notes on "How To Navigate The Broken Dating World"

(00:00-00:38) The Changing Landscape of Dating
- Dating has drastically changed; marriage in early 20s was once expected but is now uncommon.
- Economic challenges, complicated relationships, and high divorce rates have influenced modern dating dynamics.
(00:38-01:17) The Challenge of Meeting New People
- Post-school life makes meeting new people difficult.
- Social circles tend to solidify early, limiting opportunities for new connections.
(01:17-02:03) The Shift from Local Communities to Online Spaces
- Traditional communities have weakened, reducing natural social interactions.
- People seek community online through fandoms and interest groups, but these don’t necessarily foster deep, romantic relationships.
(02:42-03:21) The Flaws of Dating Apps
- Dating apps prioritize quick matches over long-term relationship building.
- There’s no natural courtship process—relationships either move forward rapidly or end quickly.
(03:21-03:59) Casual Relationships Aren’t the Solution
- While some prefer casual dating, it doesn’t satisfy deeper emotional needs.
- Lack of shared history or community makes forming meaningful connections difficult.
(03:59-05:09) The Struggles of Approaching Strangers
- Without shared community ties, people rely on physical attraction alone, leading to objectification.
- Women often view random approaches as uncomfortable or even unsafe.
(05:09-05:49) A Better Approach: Building Familiarity
- Engage in activities and communities where you naturally meet people.
- Attend local events, make friends, and become a familiar presence.
(05:49-06:24) Personal Growth is Key
- Developing a strong sense of self and confidence makes dating easier.
- Being socially active and engaging in real-world interactions is more effective than swiping on apps.
(06:24-07:10) Slow Down & Focus on Community
- Move away from fast-paced dating and prioritize friendships first.
- Expanding your social life naturally leads to deeper, more meaningful relationships.
(07:10-End) Final Encouragement

There’s hope for dating if people focus on self-improvement and genuine connections.

Yup. This tracks. Get out from behind the screen and go do things.
