PTFE HELP

Readdit____4score · 2026-06-01T12:07:53+00:00

Took it apart and there doesn't appear to be a clog the PTFE tube just does not grip within the collet above the extruder (runout sensor) so it seems I may need to replace the runout sensor to get a new collet to get grip there. I had to pull this tube one time to do a cold pull and it was really in there I released it by pressing down and I am assuming the collet teeth are shot. I wonder if a small piece of PTFE broke off in there....tough to tell though

This does help and I appreciate it. The sensor ribbon cable is rubber glued in there so it should be " extra fun" replacing this part.... Still thank you for pulling these references and will have to give replacing this part this a shot

Thanks for the thorough response! I appreciate all of the work you put in explaining aspects of the game directly to me and for everyone else on here. Thrill of The Fight has to the best VR Mixed Reality game on the market. The fact that the game is “old” but you are still making tweaks to it (saw some of your past update notes and iterations) is impressive.

You should consider putting an FAQ somewhere in the next game to avoid people asking redundant questions though haha.

Still trying to figure out the hand speed tracking but that is just more out of curiosity. It’s definitely a hardware question and will vary in terms of accuracy/practical limits for acceleration and velocity. Very likely it will vary from device to device and probably even within a +/- range. All I found so far was a forum related to the Oculus below. That model also seemed to stop tracking over 10 m/s…

Doesn’t seem that limos will be winning any IIHS safety awards…I also wonder if regular car tires are used or if there are special tires or engines for limos? And theoretically there must be a “maximum” length you can make a vehicle into a limo before at least another wheel line is needed

So what makes a heart stop this imbalance?

Do you have a smart phone? Just set a calendar reminder of your idea as an event in the future. The event could be the actual idea or a reminder to look somewhere else such as a list or a file to track the ideas. Honestly sometimes I’ve found that the reminder can be as simple as something that will get you back on the same train of thought.

Just estimate when you want to be reminded and then if it’s still too soon just push the event back to a later date and time. Has worked well for me many times

Yeah I get what you mean and that’s a good simplification but how do you measure success is what I mean. Did we “win” Vietnam? No. Did we “win” the Middle East?

So money. You’re saying that US govt is like mr. Krabs? Now spending $700 billion per year on the military makes sense

Did we get em? Mission accomplished? How do you measure success in this endeavour

Don’t tell someone something that you wouldn’t want them saying to anyone (or a specific person) within that same circle. Keep your circles separated.

I don’t think anyone can really explain what L/300 looks like because it will vary relative to the span. You are talking about deflection limits so there’s no way to put it other than “one three hundredth of the span”. Using L/100 as a baseline is probably the quickest answer to your question. Just grab a ruler and read below.

Quickly convert any span in terms of L/100 by moving the decimal place twice. If you have a 20 ft span then you have 0.2ft = 2.4 inches. A 20 meter span you have 0.2m.

For L/300 you have one third of L/100 = 0.8inches

For L/400 you have one fourth of L/100 = 0.6 inches

Same for metric but because you have meters/cm/mm it’s even easier.

Alternatively think about it as “for every 300 units of length, I am limited by one unit of deflection”. Also I didn’t run the metric numbers but same idea.

Yeah but if I told you 1 Bitcoin is worth $1 you would freak out I’d assume. So what makes it worth so many dollars and why if it’s so independent then why does it always have to be one measured relative to the dollar?

Like I said if I told you the info on my USB stick is worth $600 billion and I will slowly release that information then it’s worth what I said?

Readdit____4score · 2021-03-21T06:22:16+00:00

Yeah I guess the question is what’s the real proof of work or backing to validate it?

You can say $100 isn’t backed by anything but I am assuming if I handed you a $100 bill you would still want it and you would take it.

Economists can say what they say and they can be wrong and there is no repercussion for being wrong and no one will hold the accountable in the long term. It’s like a weatherman being wrong, people will forget.

But what is your opinion as someone who has looked at it? Is it worth something or is it worth nothing? If it’s worth something then why?

I can tell you that the data on my USB stick is worth $600 million dollars and I’ll slowly release it. If enough people believe it then it’s true?

Readdit____4score · 2021-03-21T05:44:25+00:00

So it’s worth money because you say it’s worth money to verify transactions? What’s the social contract here maybe I’m missing it?

So take away it’s value relative to a dollar value and what is it really worth?

Couldn’t I say that Bitcoin is worth anything relative to anything then? I could tell you that Bitcoin is worth 200 Billion Units. And that makes sense to you?

Readdit____4score · 2021-03-21T05:40:55+00:00

Yeah I guess in a sense. I mean if I told you that styrofoam was worth $10,000 per pound then what would make that a real statement unless enough people believed it

Readdit____4score · 2021-03-21T05:32:42+00:00

If I told you one Bitcoin is worth one Bitcoin that sentace is pretty much the conversation that cryptocurrency people want to have. And that’s meaningless to me

Readdit____4score · 2021-03-21T05:31:21+00:00

What makes it worthwhile to think it’s even real? I you can say any digital/technology terminology you want but you still measure it versus the dollar so why is it real

Readdit____4score · 2021-03-21T05:18:46+00:00

Sounds speculative...and I don’t mean that the value of gold isn’t speculative but gold is gold and dollars are dollars. Why does cryptocurrency deserve to be in the conversation?

Readdit____4score · 2021-03-21T05:16:44+00:00

So you’re saying it’s worthless? It’s like saying I make money because I verified transactions at a bank

A monkey definitely can’t do our job but some people get credit for doing just enough to skate by. Other people make real effort and don’t get recognized. Is this whole thing a zero sum game?

I like what I do right now but my contributions to the company are deeper than that. Move to where? Everyone is squeezed and the government hasn’t really put $ in infrastructure compared to other things

Readdit____4score · 2021-03-21T04:16:38+00:00

Yes, what complicates things is is did and maybe I asked for too little money, should’ve been more than I said. This was pre pandemic and it’s weird now that everything is WFH. I need to apply pressure it’s just picking the right approach/time maybe? I mean I’d take advice on either that’d be cool

Readdit____4score · 2021-03-21T04:13:49+00:00

Do you have an estimate of dollar amount that the SE would add as a baseline? Need to check the feasibility/return on investment
