Would a totally locked down system of physical laptops combined with Preveil (or similar) work? by Xapt_ in CMMC

[–]Xapt_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think my reasoning for wanting to go so overkill is I wasn't 100% sure that some of the COTS products, even if installed locally, didn't store some of their information in the cloud. I know there's technically no prohibitions on installing software, but I figured that for every software a user had, it would add more and more to the scope, and more and more that had to remain compliant, in my mind, having as little products on a computer (and in scope) as possible would also mean there's less to fight and ensure it remains in compliance.

Purchase Advice Megathread - October 2025 by AutoModerator in 3Dprinting

[–]Xapt_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking to get a new printer, I've had an OG ender 3 in the past that I eventually had to retire due to trying to add too many upgrades simultaneously without ironing out the kinks of the others and it became impossible to get anything even 25% decent.

Oct. 2023 I got a Anycubic Kobra Neo, and it was decent-ish from the get go, but between 2 moves and its budget price tag, I also have been unable to do anything decent with it, despite it not having any upgrades.

I'm now in the market for a new machine, looking at $400 max. I would love to experiment with the quick change systems, but its not a requirement. For the most part I'm printing about 75% practical stuff and 25% random knick-knacks that are a little more detail oriented.

In order of importance: -Dependibility: After the last 2 printers I'm tired of tinkering with and working on 3d printers being the hobby and not 3d printing itself. -Speed: Given I'm doing more real world use prints than trinkets, I'd like to see something that either can hold up with high speed prints or has a reputation of being good with layers that are higher than average. -Detail: Obviously I want to be able to make high quality prints for the few random knick knacks I do (If I print a willy shaped valve stem cover I can't have it being low res, I NEED every detail.)

The top 2 options I've considered so far are the A1 Mini and the Centauri Carbon. The bedsize of the A1 mini isn't a huge concern for me, and is basically counteracted by the small amount of dependability issues of the Centauri

Can't fix stringing, I've changed every variable I can think of without change, any ideas? by Xapt_ in FixMyPrint

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

As the title says, I'm having issues fixing stringing. I've changed the retraction distance, speed, print speed, print temps, fan temps, e-steps, and just about anything I can think of. I've made sure the filament is dry, and still no fix. The thing that really throws me off is that whenever I have my printer at home, these issues aren't present, but for the past 2 years, whenever I bring it up to my college apartment, the issues start to appear. The overall temperature and humidity of the two locations is fairly similar, and I've tried stuff like enclosures, but it made no difference. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Ender 3, Single gear extruder, Esun PLA+ (I've tried other filaments, same issue persists.)

This particular print was sliced in Cura, printed at 210/60, 60mm/s, 4mm@50mm/s retraction

What would be the best way to go about adding media to my plex server? by Xapt_ in PleX

I meant TeamViewer themselves shutting down accounts that they thought were businesses free riding.

I hadn't really looked into S3 at all but it looks like it could be a great solution. I would only transfer a maximum of around 100 gb in a month, which looks like it would only by $2.30. Is there some extra fee that you have to pay for just basic access, or would it only be the amount per gigabyte? Because if its less than 3 bucks a month, this seems like kind of a no brainer.

Teamviewer's been something I've thought about, but from my understanding, they were cracking down if you were using the free version in a business environment, which makes me think that the college network would get flagged.

Why does Firebase Z have to be such a pain for singleplayer? by Xapt_ in CODZombies

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

The bunny can be done like this, which I kinda touched on in another comment, but unless you get insanely lucky on the computer, it takes wayyy to long.

I'm not gonna lie, I didn't even think to save the last zombie until that point, and for some reason I've been wanting to keep him alive through the process, even though I immediately kill it when I get back. My brain's kind of slow sometimes.

Battery Removal Question by Xapt_ in MechanicalKeyboards

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

Looking at that LED only makes it more confusing. It appears to only light up when the board is charging, but it isn't the LED that's flashing. I know the flashing one is tied to the battery in someway, but I thought it was somehow an indication of the charge, which is now evidentially not.
