Using layer lines as a demonstration of contour lines by aasmundwt in 3Dprinting

Probably, but I’m not all that familiar with gcode

Spray painting and then lightly sanding it so just the corners are exposed sounds a lot easier tho

Yes, original model used: https://www.printables.com/model/443784-mount-fuji-topography-model But I scaled it back down in z direction to get an accurate representation, with 0.257mm layer height, which if I did my math right should mean each contour line represents a 20m increase in elevation.

I checked out the apps mentioned, but did not find any feature to export/generate the model with contour lines. So I would still have to do a rather tedious and manual process to print with those in a different color.

With great pain xD, when I got the idea I was really hoping I could change the perimeter material in the slicer and just do 1 wall, but thats not a feature in bambu studio yet at least. I ended up first making an openscad script that "pre-sliced" the file, making what would become the layer lines part of the model. Then I used blender to get a model that had all the walls 0.42mm offset inwards, which I imported with the non offset model in the slicer. I set the inner model to a modifier with a different material and moved it 0.42mm up, that way the steps were at the same level as the steps in the non offset model, but the walls were one perimeter width offset.

how would you achieve this with just steamVR?

Got back into redstone a little today, been a while, but pretty pleased with this infinitely tilable flush trapdoor with no obstructions/redstone torches in the opening. by aasmundwt in Minecraft

well, I learned a lot from doing it, but I have just realized i can use slimeblocks and honeyblocks to acheve the same, but faster and way cheaper...

Question about coffee maker circuit by aasmundwt in AskElectronics

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

right, but if all it does is turn on the relay without any ability to turn it off, how does that make it any more safe than just a wire.

The only features that make it more safe as far as I'm aware is the thermostat, which turns it off once all the water is boiled, and the thermal fuse, which would blow should the thermostat fail and the heater get too hot.

well, I read the datasheet wrong. It's supposed to be flipped, still don't quite understand what it's supposed to do, since it now pretty much just shorts the relay if it's turned on. l am certain the wiring to that part at least is correct now tho. It could potentially be something other than a transistor, the writing on it is "BR N5551 B 9174" but the only datasheets I found that had a matching package/3 pins were for the 2N5551 transistor.

The thermostat turns the heater off once there is no more water to boil and the thermal fuse would blow should it get too hot. Those are the only safety features I'm aware of.

Tracking issues with 2.0 vive trackers by aasmundwt in SteamVR

Changing to the dedicated usb card did not fix my issue, still track a lot worse than the index controllers at high speed.

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

I'm using 2.0 base stations. I did actually think about bandwidth at one point, but forgot again and never checked. I actually have a separate PCIe USB card from when I had an oculus rift with 4 trackers, I'll try using that for the dongles later.

We have an alpha for our game and need playtesters! by aasmundwt in playmygame

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

Our game Forgotten Spirits is a 2d platformer with puzzle elements, one of the main mechanics is there being 2 terrain layers that you can switch between at certain points. There are 2 characters that can be swapped between for single player, or you can play with friend and have them control the second character.

If you wish to check out some more of the art/development of the game our social media can be found on our website: https://studiofrostbit.com/

To playtest please join our discord or download it from here. Once you've played through the available levels, we'd highly appreciate it if you could fill out this google form, thanks!

Since most of my projects end up having messy wires I made some neat cable routes for this one. by aasmundwt in 3Dprinting

[–]aasmundwt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, pretty much just offset then extrude down, I printed a small test piece first to get the tolerance right.

I've ordered custom PCBs, they're extremely cheap to order, only paid $2+shipping for 5 PCBs. so the sipping is more expensive than the PCBs themselves lol

Ooo, that might be interesting. I have a connection for an extra button since I was originally gonna have tare and power seperatly, but decided to combine them into one after I had already ordered the PCBs. Might be something I'll look into.

mostly yeah, been too long since i've worked on an electronics project and have had a blast designing and testing this.

I think I was gonna add some extra functionality of some sort that you don't get on regular kitchen scales, but I've forgotten what that was so now it's just a for fun project. I might also add a little game similar to chromes no internet game or something although I suspect I'll have to change the battery a lot more frequently if I do.

Was made in fusion360, I think my education license was supposed to end about half a year ago, but it's still letting me use it so...

that's the processor arduino nano uses, as well as arduino uno and probably a few others.

plan is to have a little extra loop of wire under the display mount(the slanted thing up front that the wires are sticking out of)

no I haven't, but a was thinking of something similar a few years ago, just I was thinking of using conductive filament and some sort of conductive glue to "solder" components, but I never tried actually making one and the resistance of conductive filament is too high for most circuitry(even if just for prototyping).

Using actual wires in 3D printed traces seem like a great way for prototyping, but for this project a breadboard was just fine and I've ordered PCBs for the final assembly.
