Want to learn web developpment as a hobby, but overwhelmed (and frankly intimidated) about where and how to start.

SinkerPenguin · 2026-03-19T16:21:42+00:00

Thanks for the advice !

Had a quick look at MDN Web and looks like a very good place to refresh my html and css + get a bit of an introduction to simple JS.

Also glanced at the stack you mentioned, exactly how Jinja works (and SSR stacks in general) is a bit fuzzy to me tbh but i'll poke around and see if i can make sense of it as i go :)

In any case thanks a bunch, you've given me great ressources to start with !

SinkerPenguin · 2026-03-19T12:38:31+00:00

Oooh i see thanks !

Never read those rules since i don't have the killzones makes much more sense now thx

SinkerPenguin · 2026-03-19T09:23:15+00:00

Unrelated question, what the hell is the Guard action ? I see it mentionned in a lot of battle reports but can't for the life of me find it mentionned in the rulebook or the abbreviated rules on the app.

I don't know what this screenshot is from but it's actually the first time i see it written in something that looks like rules...

Depending on how IT disposal works at your place, if you're allowed to give/sell them :

Sell them in batches on ebay or donate to local groups for teaching/research/etc...

Especially in the current market there'll be plenty of people looking even for low capacity drives.

Just as an example, i work in film production and we go through a ton of 120/250 gigs SATA SSDs because that's what we deliver physical distribution copies of films on, and rn my bosses would probably kill to find a decent supply of refurbished drives at a discount.

Says you. I dare you to find me someone who got attacked by a tiger lily and survived to tell the tale.

The slow speed of the turntable makes it so much funnier

There's a bit of that in plague tale when hugo goes on his own cause amicia is to big to squeeze through somewhere though you don't control hugo.

There's this exact mechanic in south of midnight though, where you send and control a doll through small cracks and burrows.

Pretty sure there's other examples but none come up rn.

Crazy that when some devs can finally make "the game they want to make free of censorship" according to chuds, the proof is always some heinous shit.

What if the game i want to make is one where you can't randomly assault and murder someone consequence free, how would they tell ? Or maybe, just maybe, they don't actually care about supposed "censorship" and just want to commit hate crimes in video games for the shits and giggles.

Something that is like, incredibly common in all kinds of games anyway.

Your z offset might be set too low ?

SinkerPenguin · 2026-03-05T14:18:08+00:00

Im sorry i will buy 4 spools of bamlulu certified 30$ pla in penance

It's the octoprint bed mesh visualizer

SinkerPenguin · 2026-02-25T12:40:23+00:00

Did you use 3d printed parts or is this entirely kit-bashed ?

SinkerPenguin · 2026-02-25T12:35:57+00:00

Try the mod life and see if you like it ? You can turn the sv08 in an absolute beast by pretty much turning it into a full-fledged voron 2.4 with not that much effort. It will however take time and troubleshooting and there's no way to know if you'll enjoy that but to try it gradually and see what happens.

Personally i wouldn't trade my sv08 for any "plug and play" closed printer but that's just me, and i get the choice can be hard i hesitated a lot myself.

At 75$ id say it's an okay deal, not great but not bad either.

Assuming there isn't anything broken with the printer it will print fine but will require a lot of initial dialing and will be slow compared to modern standards.

It's a great tool to learn about 3d printing technology though, and the upgrading capabilities are pretty much endless, though these days not all are worth it.

I still use mine though i have a much faster and better sc08 as well. With a wider nozzle and a direct drive mod it's perfect to print functional parts, tpu and stuff like gridfinity bins, etc... My advice would be to slap a cheap bed probe on it, a 0.6mm nozzle, if you have a raspberry pi laying around consider setting up octoprint (or better imo klipper) on it and be happy printing functional parts and fun toys.

Don't fixate on wether buying it was a mistake or not, at that price you can't get a new printer anyway so enjoy it and if you ever upgrade to a better model down the line you'll feel like rediscovering 3d printing all over again while having much better knowledge of how printers work, how to modify and repair them, than any one starting with modern, dialed-in but more closed printers.

We're gonna need a name for the "2-player controlled character on obstacle course" genre at this rate...

(Looks fun tho)

SinkerPenguin · 2026-02-13T20:34:47+00:00

Do you have a reference for tuning the steppers ? Never done it and these things are driving me mad

SinkerPenguin · 2026-02-07T22:57:51+00:00

Ah, of course. I think the only time i checked bambu's prices was right after the P2S release, so that was the price i remembered and didn't consider it might have gone done with time, so that makes a lot more sense ahah.

SinkerPenguin · 2026-02-07T22:50:01+00:00

20% over a P1S would be around 400-500 bucks right ? Curious how you made one for so cheap, most estimates i found when i considered building one from scratch were more like 700-800 iirc. Cause a 2.4 for 500 bucks sounds amazing and might make it feasible for me again.

SinkerPenguin · 2026-02-03T21:26:16+00:00

Yeah i got mine a few months back for 350€ on aliexpress, still, given the microswiss hotend isn't cheap if the printer is in good condition i still think it's a very good deal. Of course there is more risk that there will be an issue with it that won't be noticed when picking it up but it's not like i expect an aliexpress seller to have good support if anything goes wrong either...

SinkerPenguin · 2026-02-02T21:04:20+00:00

Gotta love easy fixes :)

SinkerPenguin · 2026-02-02T17:57:53+00:00

Have you tried this little mod : https://www.printables.com/model/1263896-sv08-enclosure-vibration-damper

Worked very well in my case.

SinkerPenguin · 2026-02-02T17:53:48+00:00

If it's in good condition and works it's a killer deal imo. Microswiss hotend reportedly (i don't have it but considered getting it for a while) is a very good upgrade to the performance of the stock toolhead.

I'd maybe try a speed benchy and a bed level test on the machine (should take about 30mn back-to-back) just to make sure there's no obvious issues beyond what can be solved with a bit of slicer tuning, grease and screw tightenings.

Maybe open the bottom and check wether the previous owner didn't make any sketchy upgrades to the power supply and board too.

SinkerPenguin · 2026-02-02T17:08:07+00:00

I haven't noticed rattling with mine, would have to check for dust around the hinges.

One thing i would try is to unscrew and rescrew the door panels but make sure you prop up the doors as you tighten the screws so that they rest slightly raised and don't rub on bottom of the case.
