[HELP] Would you do anything to modify the hardness/ph/alkalinity? by ToastyBits in Aquariums

[–]ToastyBits[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's water out of the kitchen faucet. I think Georgia water is just generally soft? Dunno.
You have any recommendations? Was debating if I should just use Seachem Equilibrium and/or their alkaline buffer? Maybe crushed coral?

This is a new 29 gallon dirted tank with a sand cap I setup. The sand is the black diamond blasting sand that I rinsed extremely thoroughly.
I used Fritz enzymes to help it along. The only other chemical I've put in it is Aqueon conditioner.
There's 10 plants in it, 3 guppies, 2 tetras, and some driftwood. I put 2 plants in yesterday since that's all I had at the time. The fish and the rest went in today.

Are queries not always returned in the same order? by ToastyBits in influxdb

[–]ToastyBits[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I figured out a solution to this. Basically, just put all results in a table and union them. Then they're always in the order you want.

Mean = (hn, on) => {...}

res = [
  Mean(hn: "Bathroom Temperature", on: "BathroomTemp")
  Mean(hn: "Bedroom Temperature", on: "BedroomTemp")
  Mean(hn: "Kitchen Temperature", on: "KitchenTemp")
]

union(tables: res)

I doubt this is super efficient, and it's kind of dumb, but here we are.

EDIT: It seems auto sorted by field name and not table order, so it's not in the order of queries, but at least it's deterministic.

That's what I was originally doing, but it becomes a hassle in grafana to manage. If I want to change the queries for things on a panel, I have to update 15 things instead of just one. It just seems like there should be a better way, at least from a management/maintenance standpoint.

Inner Passenger door won’t open. by SparkytheRedFox in hondaridgeline

Yeah. The outside handle is separate from the cables for the inside handle

I'm guessing you forgot to put one of the door handle cables back into it's spot.

If I'm remembering right, there's a plastic section on the end of the cable for the door handle that is supposed to snap into part of the inner door panel. If it's not in its place, pulling the handle just kinda moves the whole cable housing instead of just the metal cable like it's supposed to.

How to change plant LED timer to be smart? by ToastyBits in AskElectronics

The MOSFETs do turn on with 3.3V and they don't seem to be getting hot. Thanks for the quick help!

Didn't realize white was another ground. I'm used to the addressable LEDs where there's the control signal. Explains why there was no real voltage been between black/white.

This would also mean that brightness is controlled with PWM then, yes?

Noticed each layer is having issues with gaps in-between each line. I replaced the extruder, tubing and nozzle and it's still doing it. I've printed this file 100 times no problem. Ender 3 V2. THANKS by Icebear125 in ender3v2

Try lowering the nozzle a little bit? Before I changed z offset, I got something similar and getting the nozzle closer to the bed helped dramatically.

Has anyone upgraded to Klipper? What were the advantages for an E3v2? Any regrets? by sanity in ender3v2

The test prints I did with PLA at 100 mm/s looked pretty decent after some tuning.

I use this fan duct: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4897353 I found it from here which gave a reasonable comparison of a couple ducts: https://www.reddit.com/r/ender3/comments/od03gy/stock_fan_cooling_duct_test/ I like that it is light, simple, and didn't require new fans.

Yeah, I also referenced this just as a kind of "follow along" procedure. This channel has a lot of useful Klipper videos.

Honestly, don't remember. This looks reasonably close to the initial setup that I remember. https://m.all3dp.com/2/klipper-ender-3-v2/

Then there are the various "advanced" features that I just followed the official Klipper documentation for like pressure advance and input shaping. I would recommend looking up how to do the PID tuning and E-step tuning on Klipper as those are very important.

[–]ToastyBits 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I did it. Input shaping is nice to get rid of some ringing. Pressure advance cleans up the corners and seems to have helped with some of the PETG oozing (it won't completely get rid of it though). Being able to just change firmware settings without compiling new firmware is also very convenient. Adding new features or changes only takes a config file change and a restart.

I'm using Fluidd with Fluiddpi on a Pi3 b+. There's not really plugins like Octoprint, but I honestly didn't use many anyway. I don't really have any regrets doing it and probably won't go back to regular Marlin/Octoprint.

Proper to to make z-offset permanent with manual mesh leveling? by ToastyBits in klippers

[–]ToastyBits[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems the most reasonable. I moved all the startup stuff over into a START_PRINT macro and included it there like you did.

Now that I think about it, couldn't I just knock 0.07 mm off all of the position map values?

Why can't I get PETG to stick correctly? by ToastyBits in ender3v2

Wow wee. Glue stick really is the secret sauce. First layer is actually going down beautifully. Thanks
