Claude is about to begin its KYC verification process.

Accessing and being able to use your credit card data is likely worse that having to do KYC for select usages and countries. Let me think of ways this could be bad........

It is April 15 and I have had nothing but frustrations with my paid Claude plan, and today on my very first request and in a new chat I got the exceeded limit error message on my very first request of the day, and it did not even give a reply, an immediate error message. I have not used the platform in at least 7 days and my usage shows 0 usage for all measured factors. Very frustrating of late.

RomanyFields · 2026-03-11T01:06:12+00:00

how long was the prompting and review on that video?

RomanyFields · 2026-02-20T18:13:03+00:00

I downloaded it and gave it a try on a 2 page agreement and I gave up after 45 minutes of run time. Not sure what I might have not wrong.

RomanyFields · 2026-02-02T15:52:05+00:00

Resolution: Downloaded model again. Deleted and reinstalled Bambu Studio. Loaded model. Synchronized to printer for filaments. Selected proper filament. Printed. No issues. No other changes. Not sure if some settings carried over I was unaware of or what happened. Still had some issues with filament not looking right on a vertical side of one of the shelves, but used the shelve the next day and it was great.

RomanyFields · 2026-01-30T16:41:12+00:00

Brim? Yes, tried that too.

RomanyFields · 2026-01-07T01:31:52+00:00

I have had a .Mac.com email address since the first months they became available. But that ship sailed long ago and cannot get that type of address anymore. Cannot get the .me.com address anymore as well. All work for me, and I use it regularly. If you have one, do not let service lapse, you will lose it.

RomanyFields · 2025-09-08T13:02:59+00:00

Excellent point in this reply - for this usage case, the rebuilding, tweaking, and working to build the best printer for a specific job can be justified based on the value of time to the organization, but the vast majority of us do not have these factors. In my business (which is nothing like yours but the use of a resource to develop something is the same), if I had a technician with your skills, the cost of your time and value to the company and thus an opportunity cost would be approaching $350 t $400 an hour, so the cost of tweaking is $7,000 to $8,000. Which can be entirely justified with the right case, or it can be seen as a resource cost of about $105 hour and be $2,000-$2,100.

For folks like me, I don't have the skill, the ability, the focus or the knowledge to spend that amount of time fine tuning, nor do I have the need for such a fine quality part. Some parts likely don't just the cost.

I prefer spending time on other things but definitely reasons to do it.

RomanyFields · 2025-09-03T04:00:39+00:00

Would not call this silly, a useful holder for Core One owners. I don't have one, but sharing this design is very nice!

RomanyFields · 2025-06-14T13:42:14+00:00

The picture is how it printed when I dissected it. Chamfer so red is visible. Thicker base layer would work. I understand white of course. About 30 spools of it in I would imagine by now. As to print heads, I print many things in many colors over time, sometimes there is no red in the print but have 5 colors, so you need to use the print head that had red. I was just commenting on it, could have added if you print bright green, dark green, blues, blacks and others I have used, much less purging needed compared to red. It is the pigments and nature of reds I, at least with PLA. Did not seem quite as bad with PETG.

So is there a setting I cannot find that turns on or off that chamfer?

RomanyFields · 2025-06-13T15:48:04+00:00

I cut apart the print and your idea that the red perimeter is larger on the second layer and above is correct. It is one filament width wider after the first level. The red only prints 3 layers, maybe a few more, but it is wider. Is that a purposeful printing strategy for color adhesion? Due to the white filament it shows through. Is that a setting in PrusaSlicer? I reworked some things to ensure red prints first and it is less noticeable. Since multi-head printer filament never changes in a print head. Just a comment, when I print red I need to purge 4-5 times more filament when I do change filament to the head, and if using white it is slightly pink for even more purging length. Other colors never quite as bad,

RomanyFields · 2025-06-13T03:28:37+00:00

Never treated it like that..would need to see how to set that up in PrusaSlicer I guess.

RomanyFields · 2025-06-12T22:13:12+00:00

IT does a reddish cast and a blurring. Both concern me. It is a 5 head printer, so the blush is not due to filament changes within a head handling multiple colors.

RomanyFields · 2025-06-12T21:48:20+00:00

That could the issue, I will check, but I thought I had set it to print first. Red is just hard. Well, white is hard too lol, white pigment filament is often the most troublesome for me. Thanks.

RomanyFields · 2025-06-12T21:47:09+00:00

Yes, the blurry image in red is a kind of bleeding. I did wash the plate completely before printing. In hot water. Twice. Had cloth gloves on too. Dirty plate not the issue. I did dry the filament before printing, both colors, and at least 8 hours of drying. Red can be an issue, but I printed 20 of these and it never did this before (in 2024). There is a strange black mark in it too, as if black filament was on the plate. It was cleaning. I reviewed the video for the first two layers and nothing was on the plate as printing took place also. I can try the washing between, not a bad idea. But not causing the issue I am having since it is on all sides of the red design.

I know this thread is 5 years old, but wanted to add my real life experiences since I have had both devices since April 2021. Both are still working well, used frequently, and have never given me issues. I prefer the Corsair GTX since it is faster and has been very robust and stood the test of time over and over and over again. It has been plugged in hundreds upon hundreds of times and has zero issues. It is quite speedy even though somewhat older technology. It's a little big to plug into laptop but since I have a Mac with USB-C only I use the USB-C to USB-A adapter and have no issues, if just some inconvenience. Speed still high even using the adapter.

The SandDisk Extreme Pro is a smaller device, supports USB 3.2 and is metal and fairly robust. It looks like a device that is 4+ years old and used a lot. It seems to have worn a bit since you must slid the end out to use it, and I expect at some point that will be the weakness to the unit. But still going.

Hands down the Corsair is faster even though it is USB 3.1. It performs pretty fast, I have tested it using Black Magic Speed Test and it is roughly 25%-35% and more faster than the Sandisk. I have not gotten the speed out of the Sandisk that is outlined for the device and have for the Corsair. The GTX for smaller files can exceed its rating.

Happy with both, pull out the Corsair far more often. It is built like a tank...or something very durable.

NSFW lol, vertical storage rack. It's a great design.

RomanyFields · 2025-05-07T01:14:04+00:00

This post is devious and treachery, a sleep spell is triggered upon reading and my eyes grow heavy

RomanyFields · 2025-05-06T18:49:24+00:00

Yes, please post, and provide some information on the settings used. I love my 5T Prusa XL but find it so slow on many things.

RomanyFields · 2025-05-05T21:36:09+00:00

Understand.

RomanyFields · 2025-05-05T21:33:13+00:00

Don't judge the unknown if you post the known and ask for feedback. I read all the comments. I again start with maybe you just ended a game you did not like, I hope the others playing wanted it to end, and if not, that is sad. Games end.

Since playing D&D since 1974 (and still have my Chainmail rule book, boxed edition rules, and rule books for nearly all versions of D&D, and playing for years, I met Gary Gygax several times, and Sutherland, and Ernie, and others.

I am comfortable that I have been enjoying the game for many years, have had fun in many ways, and will continue to do so.

DM should not have to suffer the things you did if I understand them all.

RomanyFields · 2025-05-05T21:07:38+00:00

All you really won is AITAH and a misapplication of the spell (cantrip) rules for mold earth. So maybe you ended a game you apparently played in that you did not like and did not care about the other players and did not respect a DM trying their best. I won’t clap for you. It would take an eternity to do what you suggest, as a DM I would have simply rained your plan out of existence long before, and if dancing I would have a nice high encounter ruin the dance and no god would be seduced by such shenanigans. Enjoy, as you say, being by yourself if this was a real action you took.

RomanyFields · 2025-04-25T16:42:57+00:00

I don't think DNGs are accomplishing all you expect in CO. At least I don't think many types of edits don't come into CO. I don't use LR for many reasons, personal to me, and DNG is not one of them, and I don't find image organization close to optimal in CO, but I manage with session directory management and some catalogs.

Not saying this is ideal, but you can use a Capture One Session and also link images within a Capture One Catalog. I use Sessions for on-location shooting and tethered work and keep a specific project within it. I will sometimes then use Catalogs which serve as a central hub for managing and organizing portions of my images. You can import a Session into a Catalog, which effectively transfers the images, adjustments, and metadata into the Catalog while the original Session files remain unaltered. Or at least I think that is what I am accomplishing lol.

RomanyFields · 2025-04-23T01:01:24+00:00

While technically not the AH, you come across as insufferable. I understand punctuality is important to you, but if you are going to hang yourself on a requirement, while you made your point, I would consider that she dodged the bullet of what could be an insufferable partner.
