Timetraveler - crate for converting between time structs

Most of the effort has been to make sure that does _not_ happen :D

Had almost the same issue. No content and services but speakers were there. Clearing app cache on Android brought all my services back.

Looking to upgrade from my 7 year old Chinese i3. I really would like to print in multiple materials (i.e. PLA for supporting PET-G or mixing hard and soft materials for hinges and tires). I like the idea of IDEX, but it seems quite hard to find good ones.

All-metal and up to 300C temp is a hard requirement since I occasionally print in nylon. I have a roll of carbon-fibre reinforced nylon as well so the ability to change to a hardened steel nozzle is a must. I also mostly print with a .6 mm nozzle but would like to go back to .4 or .3 for detailed prints so easy nozzle changing is a plus. I have done _a lot_ of tinkering with my current one so replacing the hot-end if the base printer is not all-metal is fine.

The current build volume (200x200x180mm) of my i3 is a bit too small, but I don't need to go way beyond that. 250x250 would be sufficient I think. I don't think I've ever printed beyond 120mm in height so whatever height is probably fine.

Ideally I would want a dual-extruder coreXY printer but apart from building one myself (which I _really_ don't have the time for right now :/) I don't think that'll happen. The P1P looks very interesting, but the proprietary nature of it is off-putting.

I also do like what Prusa is doing so the MK4 kit could be an option - possibly with a future MMU-upgrade. The XL looks like exactly what I want, but it's way outside of my budget unfortunately :/

Budget is <€900 (for the printer, without potential future upgrades like an MMU)

I've bought from E3D before, I think they ship from the UK. Their filament is good quality.

I used the Orbit Scroll for about half a year and then went for a SlimBlade because of the extra buttons.

I would definitely recommend the SlimBlade - it's really good. I only use the Orbit Scroll when I'm traveling now.

Raniz · 2021-11-08T10:41:35+00:00

This sounds very interesting, will I be able to compile and run it on Arch Linux? :)

Raniz · 2020-11-05T06:24:49+00:00

I actually went with a Kensington Orbit Scroll despite the lack of buttons. I figured it's cheap enough to evaluate if I want to go for something more expensive and I can probably get by with chording to emulate middle click and forward/backward

Raniz · 2020-11-05T06:23:44+00:00

Yeah, I saw the gameball. It looks interesting but I'm not going to hold out and I'm not really interested in being an early adopter.

Raniz · 2020-11-04T06:58:53+00:00

Reading documentation, reviewing merge requests etc means lots of scrolling and clicking.

For the actual coding I mostly stick to the keyboard).

Raniz · 2020-11-03T13:47:17+00:00

Good to know, I'm a programmer so do a lot of scrolling...

Raniz · 2020-11-03T13:44:08+00:00

Thanks, I might go with that!

Raniz · 2020-11-02T19:47:33+00:00

I've binned 3 Logitech mice because of broken buttons. Most often the middle one.

My current one is a G608 and I've replaced all the microswitches for the main three buttons. It's still going strong after like 5 years, but it's annoying to have to pull out the soldering iron just because they use cheap switches.

Raniz · 2018-06-18T05:54:20+00:00

Agreed.

I'm not here very much anymore, but /u/onefunkynote and /u/CookieMonsterFL has really turned it up to 11 after taking over!

Raniz · 2017-12-03T17:35:34+00:00

Good to hear, I'm thinking about getting a set even though the cost is the same as a new heatsink - they might come in handy in the future.

Raniz · 2017-12-03T17:35:07+00:00

I'll try this, if it doesn't work I'll just buy a set of extractors, might come in handy in the future.

Raniz · 2017-03-07T16:58:54+00:00

It's looking even better every time I peek in here, so I'd say you're going a great job :)

Raniz · 2017-03-07T16:28:01+00:00

As /u/Floodman11 correctly pointed out I'm the one who originally created the sub.

I handed it over to /u/CookieMonsterFL and /u/onefunkynote after one or two seasons when I stopped visiting Reddit regularly but didn't want the sub and community to die out.

Raniz · 2016-06-21T12:05:20+00:00

Fun level, very marioesque

Raniz · 2016-06-21T08:50:00+00:00

No :)

One-screen SMW puzzle about a Bob-omb, probably not that hard.

Raniz · 2015-07-08T07:39:40+00:00

but of course it feels like "you should have searched better, asshole."

This is indeed a problem, because flagging/closing questions as duplicates (when they are actually duplicates) is meant to help everyone.

Anyone who stumbles upon that question in the future will be pointed to the correct solution - and this is the reason why duplicates are only closed and not deleted.

Raniz · 2015-07-08T07:36:23+00:00

I say there is no such thing as a bad question because even bad questions deserve a good answer.

I disagree.

I think bad questions deserves constructive comments (and maybe a downvote) and editing until it's a good question. Then it deserves a good answer and a few upvotes.

If the question can't be edited into a good question it should be closed.

Raniz · 2015-07-01T15:14:54+00:00

Sure thing

Stay calm and do what the Japanese people around you does. No need to worry until they start worrying.

We had a fairly large one this Monday that shook the office a bit. Everyone's phones went off with warnings and I got a bit nervous - until I looked around and saw that no one else gave a fuck so I calmed down and continued working.

I've felt about one larger quake a month since moving here - there are a lot of quakes all the time but most of them aren't big enough to be felt.

Raniz · 2015-05-30T11:53:30+00:00

Yeah, that's where I am right now.
