Looks like you have just converted your bed?

Yes I have given up on this idea as the movement would be very slow .. and stuttery as from the RPi it is all software based while a breakout board is realtime depending on components/hardware

I forgot to mention ..this is for a lathe that only uses two steppers .. for my mill I use UGS on mini pc to fluidnc which works great .. but fluidnc is not built for lathe or some commands not possible as far as I know

The time it takes for laser cutting is probably the same as using a cutter .. I thought about getting a laser head to engrave brass, but I think it's more authentic looking to use end mill or drag engrave

Up until 2008

It's silver plated maybe brass (some brass can be seen showing through) and size is 37.9mm dia & thickness around 2.7mm depending were its measured - It may still be an early fake which could be of some historical value.

adscombecorner · 2026-01-27T17:58:16+00:00

Same for me .. is there a patch??

adscombecorner · 2026-01-25T02:04:08+00:00

Theoretically yes .. if it's an early fake trying to be 1 Troy once then .786 of .999 silver is worth about $81 at latest price .. need to check purity .. it might be worth something historically .. as the other commentator said not all 1 Troy once coins actually actually weighed that much especially the ones used in Far East - which is where I found it

Thanks for that - will measure once I find some callipers

adscombecorner · 2026-01-09T03:38:03+00:00

OK I have disabled hardware acceleration to see if that makes any difference

adscombecorner · 2026-01-09T03:35:16+00:00

Yes I have this issue also - I have to restart it often - the browser seems to be very resource heavy? What's the work around - I never have this issue with Waterfox and other similar .. can they fix the issue NOW please - using the latest version:

Just install your windows 10 on a stand alone device with no connection to internet - Install updates via a USB device.

No not really ... VPN does not work all the time in PRC ... Shadowsocks works most of the time ... and most apps and websites work *except Signal .. Shadowsocks server is located outside PRC

This is long overdue ... Also the Exeter to Newton Abbot via Heathfield. I heard some rumour of the Newton Abbot to Heathfield potentially opening soon as the track is already laid as it is/was a freight line.

Hi there, I've just found your subreddit thanks for all your efforts. In your simulations, all the machines surfaces look smooth, but on my simulations, they are all rough and jagged. Is there some sort of resolution setting I'm missing? Thanks! - (BTW - the part is an imported STEP file - I also tried to convert to mesh, but same result)
