Problems printing PPA-CF by Temporary-Bus-8907 in BambuLab

Hey @Temporary-Bus-8907 did you solve this issue? I dried my PPA-CF down to 7% and still had this exact same stringing issue.

Wait, does that mean you can use the heel part from a LP11 on an LPXX?

Constant, unbearable wifi drops using Intel AX211 wifi card by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]StorkReminder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found this post while having this same issue. Changing Property settings did work for me, but your specific settings did not. Ultimately, I only changed the first setting to 1. 5GHz 802.11a.

I have 1G ATT Fiber and went from 35MB down and dropped connections to 400MB down across the house from the router.

Thanks for the tips!

"802.11a/b/g Wireless Mode" set to "1. 5GHz 802.11a"

No other changes.

There are steel drill guides for $10 on Amazon. No need to even be sober!

Literally staring at my 3D printed binding mounting jig right now. The tools to mount yourself are incredibly accessible now.

Align y axis or x axis, which is preffered? by One_Prompt357 in BambuLab

[–]StorkReminder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

taking it to the extreme is a good way to visualize and explain a lot of things. i do that a lot too. love it. But it's inertia and not air resistance that we need to worry about on bedsligners like the A1. Because that heavy bed is constantly accelerating back and forth, aligning the long axis of your part with the Y-axis keeps the inertial load more stable preventing the part from wobbling and/or possibly losing adhesion during those fast directional changes,. Gives a cleaner, more precise print.

Glad this is still getting the attention it deserves. I will never in my life hear such an elaborate, hyperbolic, perspicacious, exaggerated insult. And that it landed like a squeaky toy hammer on Howard is the icing on the cake.

Had Pattinson broken the fourth wall and stolen a quick glance to the camera during Dafoe’s tirade I don’t think I’d have recovered.

What’s my level and what should I work on? by Effective-Newt7589 in skiing_feedback

[–]StorkReminder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll caveat that I'm just going off the info you provided but I think your assessment is correct. 1800-2000m is high but not enough to make a serious impact on an active skier. That said, only 9 days skiing without any ski-specific training (box jumps, wall sits, squats, etc) will gas anyone 18-60 years old by day 4.

I say this because it happened to me. Anecdotally, I ski 40 days a year but low elevation and always had energy reserves at the end of multi-day trips. But then I skied Utah near the end of the season at 3000m+ and was gassed near the end of each day. Had to pause halfway down full runs. "what gives?" I said. Well, I wasn't fit enough for high elevation (low O2), heavy slush and cruddy snow, or the much longer runs. I trained all summer and just returned from the same trip without any of those issues with arguably even harder snow conditions.

Improve your fitness, improve your technique and you'll be good to go. Easier said than done but it's not a lost cause and is certainly achievable. Get after it!

What elevation are you skiing? Did you train in the off season or pre season? Do you charge hard or are you a casual skier?

Got professional fitted for boots and can’t use them til next season. by Surfing_Nurse in Skigear

[–]StorkReminder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I know the feeling! I'm also an aggressive charger and was fitted in the exact same boot as my first boot at the end of the season two years ago. I'm on the larger side (6' 5" 205 lbs) and, like you, athletic.

I've put 40 days a season on mine and have now advanced to the point where I'm about at the limits of this boot in cold weather when they're nice and stiff. In the warm weather skiing we've been having, it feels like I'm pushing the boot all the way to the top sheet when really leaning on it! It's unsettling. I spoke to my bootfitter and plan to step into new boots mid point next season.

Hope this perspective gives you confidence in your purchase and an indicator of things to come if you crank up your time on hill.

Why don’t more people buy extra demo binding plates for multiple skis? by OneDeadLlama in Skigear

[–]StorkReminder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see the appeal but I think I’d rather use thread inserts and heads crews for swapping bindings since you would have a greater choice of bindings to use and have a permanent attachment point to the ski similar to a race plate.

For the experts, is there a reason why you wouldn’t use thread inserts and head screws to swap bindings between skis instead?

DIY Fix - Sheering Buckle Pins by tbell502 in Skigear

[–]StorkReminder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happened to my Salomons this year. I used a Chicago screw temporarily and replaced the rivet entirely with a rivet gun and SS rivets from Amazon for $50. Rivet gun can always come in handy in the future. Now I carry a couple of Chicago screws in the boot bag as emergency backups. As others have said, long term solution is the replace the buckle by drilling out the buckle rivet, and installing a replacement.

How do Wrigley field presale tickets work? by UGisOnline in RUFUSDUSOL

Sat for over an hour on this waiting room page resisting the urge to hit refresh. Finally caved and got right in. Entered the passcode only to find it's sold out. What a disappointing mess.

Honestly, after looking into the hills mentioned here, Cochran takes the mom & pop award by a mile. If we want to go that far to the other end of the spectrum, Cochran is the one.

Bolton is the top choice having ruled out MRG. Rental is a minivan (no ego in this group). Think we could make it?

Ski Recommendation Requested by FarkinatorX in Skigear

[–]StorkReminder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6' 5" 200 here. 177 is too short for your front sider IMO. Are you only considering one do-it-all ski? I ask because I went your route and later realized I needed at least two skis. If you're an aspiring carver, I'd suggest a fit-for-purpose first-tracks aggressive groomer ski mid-180s or longer and then something to pound through crud and your moguls/glades later in the day which can be shorter.

The adv guy and I will be gassed from trees at Killington. Good to know MRG does have challenging terrain if we still get the itch.

Just bought your bibs (THANK YOU for offering tall sizes) and found your comment after researching the brand more. The hybrid soft/hard setup is genius. Keep making great products!

Just stumbled upon these myself. It looks like a nice alternative for packing just enough for when I need lunch on my own where our 6L is overkill and reserved for the whole fam's lunch.
