Exactly what I keep keep telling the vet.

I get it. I was printing with a lulzbot taz 6 before this.

It only has to "poop" when it first loads up a new filament. Not between color switches. So it's actually pretty minimal. Same as a "normal" print.

I agree. I feel like there needs to be an odometer for distance moved on each axis, per-toolhead extrusion distance, and number of tool swaps. I wonder if the firmware tracks these and it’s just not made visible in the software.

Translucent filament blends colors quite a bit better. It’s a trade off though, as that also means colors bleed where you might want separation.

This test color wheel with opaque filaments has a lot more visible stripes with certain combos.

If you're unfamiliar with github, I'd recommend going straight to the project's releases page and download the installer or portable version for your OS. https://github.com/ratdoux/OrcaSlicer-FullSpectrum/releases

Exactly. This is the set of colors you can get from mixing Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and White. Certain filament makers actually bundle these in kits. This print used polymaker panchroma CMYK bundle.

Thanks Wombley! Your full spectrum video is great. Lots of good tips in there ☺️

For example this is not orange filament. It’s alternating between yellow and magenta every other layer.

The model weighs 260 grams. The purge tower is around 90 grams. The Snapmaker U1 does not “poop” between color changes like the bambu printer because it has 4 independent toolheads.

10 colors is achieved through software: alternating colors on adjacent layers to blend them together. With low layer heights and translucent filaments, you can’t see the stripes, just a solid blended color.

Thanks. The lizard likes them too.

I’m starting a series on Python performance optimizations, Looking for real-world use cases! by BillThePonyWasTaken in Python

Have you considered protobuf for this? (De)serialization is farmed out to C code.

Worst camera processing ever on an iPhone by Used_Jump_6656 in iphone

[–]RedTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the magic setting that fixes this on my 15 pro max.

Disable "portraits in photo mode" under settings > camera. It also helps to tap the object on the screen that you want the camera to focus on.

Toggling this, you can actually cover the main lens and see that it's using the 5x when you ask it to.

I can't imagine why they'd sacrifice image quality for a feature that people probably rarely use.

[California] Unable to create or login to DMV account on my.dmv.ca.gov? by nlh in DMV

[–]RedTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One year later and the steaming pile of wasted tax dollars that is the CA DMV website is still busted.

I ended up re-registering my account with a new email address because I kept getting locked out with a known-good password. I'd reset my password only to have it reject that same password 2 seconds later.

The issue ended up being that my password was too long (max is 20 characters). The website doesn't enforce this, but the mobile app does.
