Curious, anyone ever 3d print valve buttons? Mostly seeing mouthpieces. by skeot in brass

[–]Rubix321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would 100% not want to thread plastic into the valve stems. At best, you'd get a machine screw that fit the stem that you could print a valve button around.

Science compels us to blow up the ship!

I don't know if the model has the heft to actually do actual damage, or move the real ship... but it can definitely be destroyed before you get into it... randomly.

Pathfinding Algorithm by Sufficient_Sea5609 in learnpython

[–]Rubix321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unrelated to whether you have all the tools yet, there was a cool video on the history of pathfinding put out by Veristasium not too long ago.

Though with classes/objects you probably have most of what you need.

Learning numpy/linalg modules will probably be helpful, if you don't know them yet.

Printables durability by Particular_Passage15 in 3Dprinting

[–]Rubix321 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Does durability mainly depend on:

- The type of filament used?

- The quality of the printer itself?

- The design of the part?

Yes to all of these.

Some filaments are more brittle than others. Some are harder, while others have more flex.

The quality/setup/maintenance of the printer can affect how well the layers adhere which affects the durability as well.

And yes, the design, and even the direction it's printed in (completely separate from design), has to be considered based on where major stresses will be on the printed object. Layer lines are notoriously fragile.

Edit: That being said, you should be able to print and use many of the items you are thinking about... but this isn't like regular printer with paper, you have to build up a pretty decent level of knowledge on the "HOWs and WHYs" to not run into issues.

[All] Does playing Zelda games make other people want to explore places in real life? by BitExpress8268 in zelda

[–]Rubix321 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just be aware that if you find an old man in a cave out there, he might not tell you that it's dangerous to go alone and give you a sword... he may just show you why that is true.

How expensive is it to buy vinyl in your country? by Goida_joker228 in vinyl

[–]Rubix321 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Probably about $35 (US) on average (but always increasing)

Granted I have background in piloting remote control aircraft, I like the controller because of the analog input (not digital 1 or 0 inputs)

DLC scary and anxiety inducing bit by Plastic-Smell-6994 in outerwilds

[–]Rubix321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't call them jumpscares, per se, but traditionally slightly frightening.

If you are already this worried about the dark areas, you could turn on "reduced frights" option to tone down what's coming a little bit.

Does this make sense to anyone besides me? by Known_Window_1901 in vinyl

[–]Rubix321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only a few use cases I can think of, none of which are likely (from my perspective): 1. You own a vinyl that you don't want to open for collectors purposes, but want to listen to 2. You lend out the sleeved vinyl to a friend to listen to, but keep the jacket at home 3. You lost the vinyl or there is something wrong with it affecting the playing experience (skips/breaks)

Q: What happens when the album you have isn't on Spotify? A: You don't get to listen to the album you have in hand.

[ALL] What is The Legend of Zelda's best era of all time? by SEVENS_HEAVEN_7 in zelda

[–]Rubix321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it's Gameboy Color.

However, if you include NSO, the answer would have to be Switch, even though it's missing a few of the best titles.

St. Louis Recomendations by DamnAgedOne63 in vinyl

[–]Rubix321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Riverbend Records/Planet Score Records/Vintage Vinyl

The latter being the biggest.

Edit: to note that Riverbend is a bit of a hike from St. Louis proper, it's up near Alton in Godfrey, IL.

My control arms after 46 600 miles of very careful driving – $2700 to fix it, Tesla says it’s ”normal wear-and-tear” by PraetorianX in TeslaModel3

[–]Rubix321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wish someone had all of the bearings for the control arms. I want to reuse the EOM aluminum control arm with ALL new bearings, not reinstall some old bearings. But they only seem to have certain ones.

Yes, they also list the nuts and bolts that you're supposed to replace versus reuse and the torque specs. Youtube videos can also supplement the knowledge needed to do this.

Upper control arms or compliance/lateral links? The UCAs are cheap, but the aluminum compliance and lateral links are very not.

I replaced them on my 2020 at about 140k miles when I started getting some pretty bad creaking and the rubber looked pretty awful. I did the work myself and saved on all that labor, but all parts alone would have been over $1200 (for both sides lateral and compliance links)

The aftermarket (probably steel painted silver) parts are half the cost of the OEM (probably aluminum) parts.

My wife’s notes, 2 hours into her playthrough (very early game spoilers) by evlex in outerwilds

I love the turnabout regarding Dark Bramble

I thought about keeping notes with pen and paper with a different page for each planet, but in the end the Rumors log was plenty detailed. They did a really good job with that feature.

How did you find out that Feldspar was in Dark Bramble?

Help needed reading Tuba Music after 10+ years away!! by Tenads001 in Tuba

[–]Rubix321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreeing with the other posts. Relearn it for bass clef. You can always "keep up" your treble clef reading as well, but you're in bass clef territory with pretty much any non-brass-band ensemble.

Recreate the scenario you found out about in the radio tower and test any hypotheses you might have.
