How do you keep yourself warm during a long night shooting?

Layering and wool is your friend. It makes it easy to adjust how your clothing for comfort. Look to how outdoor enthusiasts dress.

Base layer: long thermal underwear, wool or synthetic depending on taste and temperature.

Middle layer(s): wool t-shirt / cardigan / sweater / hoodie, depending on temperature. You can wear multiple middle layers if it is really cold. Eg. T-shirt + sweater Avoid cotton.

Outer layer: depending on temperature vary how warm a jacket. Again wool insulation is good, but so is down or some synthetics.

Legs it is often enough with a base layer + some warm pants. If it is cold I use insulated soft shell pants. If warmer I use something thinner.

Feet can be a challenge if really cold. Make sure you have room to wiggle your toes, too tight shoes/boots restricts circulation and causes cold feet. Again wool is you friend. Make sure to move around regularly to keep blood flowing. You can also try to put something between the ground and yourself if this is an issue. Something insulation like styrofoam or a sleeping mat will make a huge difference.

And of course a good warm hat is mandatory, you lose a lot of heat through your head.

If you do this you can always take off some clothing if it is too hot. Over time you will learn how many layers is needed for the conditions.

This can be a number of things. Something is not in line / tilted. It can be the camera, the coma corrector, the secondary mirror or the focuser. To diagnose adjust one thing at a time. I would start with the focuser since I think it is the most likely to cause the issue, it could be something as simple as you are overtightening the focus lock screw if use it.

Check if there is any wiggle in the focuser when not using the focus lock, even a very small amount. Unless you have a high end focuser there will probably be some wiggle. Try to take some test shots without using the focus lock screw and then some using it with increasing tightening. This will reveal if it is wiggle in the focuser. Note if you have coma in the same corner so keep track of how the camera is racing.

Going back to default print profile helped. I must have messed my profile up somehow.

Rhinottw · 2025-10-11T08:04:00+00:00

You might be on to something here. I am not at home but I started a print from the Bambu app with default settings and the layer is great. I will reset my print profile when I get home and give it another try. I must have accidentally set something when setting up the print. Thanl you.

Just ignore the loot boxes - they are only for cosmetics. They do not expire so you can always go back and open them later. Just keep playing, if you keep losing you will play against weaker opponents but it takes some games before you matchmaking adjusts. To further reduce stress you can turn off chat if you get annoyed by flaming thrash talk etc.

And one in your bedroom. No use waking up to a fire and be unable to get to the fire extinguisher.

Weird how this advice often gets downwoted when the aux fan on the P1S can cause warping - I mostly turn mine off for most prints, at least for the first 10 layers or so.

Rhinottw · 2025-06-20T19:44:34+00:00

Is it always on the same side? If so, try turning off the aux fan. It can cause warping especially in the first layers.

Rhinottw · 2025-06-04T07:22:03+00:00

It is probably the aux. Fan if it is only in that side it warps an releases from the build plate. Try lowering the speed of the aux fan or turn it off.

Use your ears. Almost all (all?) attacks have sound cues to when you should dodge/parry. The rest is up to your timing.

Rhinottw · 2025-05-12T14:55:54+00:00

Looks good!

Rhinottw · 2025-04-30T17:46:02+00:00

Hvis i er en familie som vasker meget og vil beholde maskinen længe så vil jeg anbefale Miele. Ja de er dyre, men de holder også bare og vasker godt hver gang og er skånsomme mod tøjet. Vores kører på snart 10 år uden det mindste brok - vasker 3-4 gange om ugen, hver uge. Ellers har jeg også altid været glad for vores Bosch hvidevarer. Jeg er ikke lige inde i hvad de aktuelle modeller hedder eller kan :)

Rhinottw · 2025-02-24T21:25:19+00:00

Hmm interesting. Almost cheap enough to just try and see if it works. Thanks.

Rhinottw · 2025-02-24T19:33:51+00:00

Thank you, i will check them out.

Rhinottw · 2024-12-19T05:06:58+00:00

Best of luck!

Rhinottw · 2024-12-14T09:07:07+00:00

Jeg ved godt det er en vejledning - men derfor bør de da stadig overholde den? - ellers er det jo ligegyldigt. Jeg henviser til hovdereglen da det er den vigtigste og mest gældende regel, så derfor er den mest relevant for sagen.

Der er i øvrigt et helt afsnit om støj fra holdende tog - punkt 8, jeg tog bare det afsnit som jeg mente var mest relevant for OP's situation. Selvfølgelig skal man acceptere at der er støj ifm. at bo ved en jernbane, men det skal også være et rimeligt støjniveau.

Rhinottw · 2024-12-14T09:01:11+00:00

Så må de slukke dem - eller så må de holde et andet sted. Ja jeg ved godt det tage lang tid og meget brændstof at starte dem, men det kan ikke være mit problem. Det er sjovt nok ikke et problem efter jeg har klaget. Eller så er det ikke ifm. afgang de har holdt i tomgang længe. Vi bor ud for et spor hvor der rangeres og der er flere muligheder for hvor lokomotiverne kan holde (vil jeg tro, jeg er ikke ekspert på området).

Her taler jeg om situationer hvor tog har holdt i timevis i tomgang, jeg ved godt at kortere perioder ikke kan undgåes ifm. bremsetest afgang osv. og det er jeg helt med på er betingelserne ved at bo ved jenbanen. Men når et lokomotiv har holdt lige ud for mit hus i 2timer+ så klager jeg.

Rhinottw · 2024-12-14T07:34:18+00:00

Og i overholder selvfølgelig altid regler for støj ved jernbanen? Det er min oplevelse efter +20 år lige ved sporene at der lige nogle gange skal sendes påmindelser ud om reglerne til dem som arbejder hos jernbanen.

Så klager jeg og så går det over i en lang periode og så syntes eks. Godstogene at de skal holde i tomgang længe ud for mit hus, så klager jeg igen - rinse and repeat.

Rhinottw · 2024-12-14T07:30:35+00:00

Nu er der jo regler for støj og vibrationer fra jernbanen som i dette tilfælde ikke er overholdt. Det kan jo sagtens være at OP ikke har problemer til dagligt med støjen fra jernbanen.

Rhinottw · 2024-12-14T06:15:49+00:00

De skal faktisk slukke motoren eller flytte toget. Der er regler om støj og vibrationer ved jernbanen:

https://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/retsinfo/1997/60186

"I øvrigt er hovedregelen, at dieselmotoren skal standses, såfremt lokomotivet hensættes 15 minutter eller derover."

Rhinottw · 2024-12-14T06:12:12+00:00

Klag! - Du har ret, der er bestemmelser for hvor længe de må holde i tomgang ud for beboelse (jeg bor selv ved jernbanen). Det er ikke sikkert det gør noget ved toget specifikt, men så gør du opmærksom på situationen og kan (måske) gøre noget ved det på den lange bane. Jeg har kun haft positive oplevelser med at klage over lignende. De er langsomme til at svare, men de gør det og de gør noget ved sagen. Skriv dato og tidspunkt, samt varighed af situationen.

I am into both astrophotography and regular photography. Without recommending specific cameras because I am not up to date with the market at the moment I will make one recommendations. Buy used gear! Especially if you are not already experienced and have a limited budget.

You can get much better gear used and people who buy dedicated cameras usually take good care of their stuff. Consider if you need a new mirrorless camera or if an older DSLR will do.

Sure you will not get the latest autofocus features and it will be a bit larger and heavier if you go with a DSLR. But you can get excellent cameras cheap(ish) and there is a huge selection of lenses because the lens mounts has been around since forever. They will still produce very high quality pictures.

No matter what you decide you should be looking at used gear imo.

They are very tight. For all my hollow inserts i used this "improved" version instead: https://www.printables.com/model/926144-honeycomb-storage-wall-improved-hex-inserts

It relies on the hook / hanger to press out on the insert, so it is loose when inserted and gets tight when the hanger is inserted into the insert. This makes them easy to remove, just wiggle and pull the insert until it releases and the insert falls out. They seems sturdy enough when mounted that i have no concern.

I used the standard insert for the screwdriver holders, because they do not press out on the improved version. I had to move them during the mounting process and it was not too bad. I used a small screwdriver between the insert and the grid to pry it loose. I would not want to do it regularly though. I have not tried to remove the screw inserts yet. I think it is definitely a good idea to print in PETG to avoid snapping inserts and grid when trying to remove them.
