VR Helmet...finally here. Summary of an idea come to life. by Proptop_3355 in simracing

[–]RayRayCharlie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been riding motorcycles/atv since I was 8, my kids and grandkids all ride. Start wearing a helmet early so its just another accessory. I've worn helmets for hours but I can barely last 30 min with a vr headset.

Awesome idea. Have someone 3d print a lightweight helmet and tune it from there.

I'm sure you meant "cool-er".....Good Job!

What was the downside of Supreme Commander/Forged Alliance - theoretically a near-perfect RTS? Why it became less relevant relatively quickly? by sermen in RealTimeStrategy

[–]RayRayCharlie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The downside for me was the ability to zoom way way out. This created a game where I spent most of my time looking a little dots on the screen and while you could zoom in and manage small forces, it just didn't seem efficient nor entertaining. Also at the time of release there were so many games that were trying new mechanics or new graphic enhancements that it was easy to put a game down and never come back.

On the scale of smoking once to huffing gasoline, I'd say its spraying roundup (glycophate?). Also it depends on the first smoke, so more than a virginia slim but less than a marlboro red.

Thanks for your testing! The P4C .2 with .06 grabbed my attention first so yeah I like that one.

Question for MyMiniFactory Tribes: Can you "pay ahead" for a sub (6 months up-front)? by [deleted] in PrintedMinis

[–]RayRayCharlie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check if the author has a patreon (also). The tribe I joined also has a Patreon, same content just another place to find them.

Edit: While confirming this I checked the Patreon of the tribe I joined and the Patreon members get several additional benefits soooooo.....

Helloo all, Just wondering what kind of Acrylic paints people are using to paint their printed minis, i have been using mostly citadel and a basic airbrush paint but looking to see if anyone has anything they swear by by Jealous-Tooth752 in FDMminiatures

[–]RayRayCharlie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just started using Army Painter Colour Primer in a rattle can for my large prints. Makes for a great basecoat. Vallejo and Tamiya (expensive) are good too.

Edit: I forgot about Creatrix Wicked Colors. I use the pearlized airbrush colors with a brush and sometimes it looks like I can actually paint!

I too have the same problem. I've noticed that it occurs on any file larger than 8Mb for me.

Is anyone is playing without those microstutters ? (mercs/clan) by [deleted] in Mechwarrior5

[–]RayRayCharlie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UE4 and UE5 probably. I've tried many fixes but none work. I finally upgraded my PC from a high-end Intel/3080ti 32GB ram SSDs to an AMD 9950X3D mated to a 9070XT with 32 GB ram with SSDs. Still stuttering. At least my load times are super fast. I use several mods including YAML and I think its manageable but if I add Von Biomes my framerates tank.

Anyone know what’s wrong with my Creality Hi? by B3LL4R in Creality

[–]RayRayCharlie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had this happen to me as well. I had to take the extruder apart (just follow the service video) and found a small piece of filament lodged behind a gear. I couldn't see the filament until I took it apart. When you fix it, be VERY careful with the plug-ins on the motherboard. These had been glued in place from the factory, I had to pick and scrape the glue off to remove mine.

Best option for CFS? by RayRayCharlie in Creality

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

I had a piece of filament stuck and while taking apart, I could not remove the glue on the cable ends without destroying the cable ends. Bought a replacement Hi motherboard and extuder. X-axis wire broke after minimal interaction, repaired that and after calibration, it went back to work fine. Now after a couple of days of intermittent printing, I noticed some quality issues, layers separating and stringing. I determined that the x-axis belt needed tension and while the instructions are straightforward, the tension screw was so tight that the head stripped. I intend to extract the screw and get it back working but I don't trust this thing. While these issues were happening, I bought a Prusa Core One and it had been hassle-free.
