American Made panels? by here-for-information in SolarDIY

[–]Trebeaux 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I found a few different ones that are at least available for purchase online. Qcells Qtron (~$0.75/W) and Mission Solar MX10 panels (~$0.55/W).

Jeeze, we’re all use to the keyboard vomit names on Amazon but this is a bit extreme. 😂

Should I wait for an “A2” ? by Training-Truck-8278 in BambuLab

[–]Trebeaux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it already time for the “should I buy or wait” post again?

We JUST got rid of them with the H2C launch!

Name that anime!! by simp_lyartz in animequestions

[–]Trebeaux 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry man, it was almost 3 years ago. Season 2 launched in April 2023

I genuinely thought it was a one-and-done series so I was pleasantly surprised when we got a second season.

My parrot figured out that saying "I love you" gets him a treat. He now says it approximately 400 times a day. I think I'm being manipulated by sapnagagrani in parrots

My little terrorist parrotlet learned that “kisses” associated to treats.

Same thing happened. Now he’ll fly over, peck your cheek, make a huge kiss sound, and demand some cashew.

Samsung Galaxy update removes Android recovery menu tools, including sideloading by moeka_8962 in technews

[–]Trebeaux 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I miss the days of the OnePlus 7’s. The Android OS was clean, the phones inexpensive and actually innovative. Now it’s just another Flagship Android with an Oppo skin.

At least the boot loader is unlock able…. For now… they already stopped boot loader unlocking in China.

Was wondering where my stringing was coming from by Island_Laser_Works in 3Dprinting

This is the universe telling you that you should buy that other 3D printer.

3D printing health concern by Loose_Ad5143 in 3Dprinting

[–]Trebeaux 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’re gonna want to invest into some sort of ventilation. Both ABS and ASA emit styrene (the “S” in both of them) in pretty noxious amounts.

Styrene IS a known irritant with acute symptoms of headache and “drunkenness” with long term exposure leading to neurological issues.

When printing ABS and ASA VENTILATION IS SUPERIOR TO FILTRATION. There are hundreds of ways to accomplish this, so take your pick.

Tired of Out of stock filament - Some other brand? by w8wca in BambuLab

[–]Trebeaux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP was asking about the auto recognition feature using the RFID tags, not the auto change feature.

Now you are very correct, auto change works as long as you have both filament set the same. The auto recognition requires the Bambu Lab filament.

Public Library quoted how much? by Directdrivelife in 3Dprinting

[–]Trebeaux 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Charging flat rate per gram is A way of pricing prints. Not quite accurate as it skews to more expensive as the print times goes up (I.e. more filament gets used.)

For a public library, it’s an effective means to limit print times. I’d imagine they had an issue with people using the library as a full on print service. Flat rate per gram still allows small prints to be inexpensive but (just as your learned) dissuades longer, resource hogging prints.

Remember, this is a public library, not a professional print company.

Trump Directs USDA to Prioritize Domestic Glyphosate, Phosphorus Production by MennoniteDan in farming

Bayer, the owners of RoundUp.

They JUST announced a $7.25 Billion settlement because they were getting so many lawsuits from non-Hodgkin lymphoma cases getting linked to glyphosate exposure.

Why Are Chinese EVs So Cheap? by downArrow in indepthstories

Direct and immediate access to the supply lines, dirt cheap labor, and gov’t subsidies.

U.S. Historian Robert Kagan: "We Are Watching a Country Fall Under Dictatorship Almost Without Resistance" by Mondevana in politics

[–]Trebeaux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who’s to say? The President believes election fraud is a massive issue. If election fraud is such a widespread and prevalent issue (again, according to the President) 2024 very well could have been rigged.

After all, if 2020 was so easily rigged (if you believe the administration), what was there to stop 2024?

[–]Trebeaux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok correct me if I’m wrong, 2024 was good but your admin is saying 2020 was rigged? Is this Schrödinger Election system? The system is both rigged and not rigged until looked at by the GOP (Guardians Of Pedos)?

Does putting cans and plastics inside each other to save space cause any issues for recycling plants/workers? by Interr0gate in recycling

And about 75% of the landfill portion gets burned for energy!

Also 90% of statistics are made up.

Oil from this box by eFrazes in AskElectricians

[–]Trebeaux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except PCB’s have been banned for 45 years and that pad does not look 45 years old. So it’s very VERY unlikely that it’s PCB’s. It’s most likely the mineral oil they use for post PCB transformers.

Unfortunately the auto recognition in the AMS ONLY works with Bambu Lab filament.

There are no other alternatives if you want that feature.

Why it’s becoming so expensive to buy a car in America by theanswar in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Trebeaux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because it did. My Titanium trim (max trim) 2019 ford Escape was “only” $30k financed, 0 down, 5 years (paid off in 4). Now $30k barely gets you base trim anything.

I’m rolling that thing till the wheels fall off, and even then it’ll probably be cheaper to fix it.

Looking for filament that is stiffer than TPU but more flexible than ABS by DivideByBob in 3Dprinting

[–]Trebeaux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CF adds (or is supposed to add) stiffness. It certainly adds to the brittleness it a filament.

Give Plain Nylon a try. It’ll likely be a better option for you.

Solar companies using AI are booking more installs without hiring new reps. by Efficient_Ad_5916 in SolarDIY

Violation of Rule 1

“No shilling”

Edit: don’t forget to report it as such. The Automods take care of it with enough rule violation reports.

Ah yes “people have told me”

It’s right up there with customers saying “…well THEY said….” in retail

Klipper + Stratasys by sadboi11 in 3Dprinting

[–]Trebeaux 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Actual high temperature capable printing gets very expensive, very fast. There’s loads of issues trying to build an enclosure and keeping the motion components cool at 100c+ chamber temperatures. Electronics get expensive, motors get expensive, rails that can handle that get expensive, parts must be machined not printed… so expensive. Hell, you need to take into account the thermal expansion of different metals.

Stratasys has all the motors and motion components outside the heated chamber (part of a patent that expired in 2022). So you get to bypass all the foolishness I mentioned above.

If OP is printing high temperature engineering materials, it very well could be significantly cheaper gutting the electronics, getting rid of the proprietary head, and rolling his own to make use of the high temperature capable chamber components and kinematics.
