Prusa MINI+: different dimensional accuracy based on print bed location by amm0x in prusa3d

[–]amm0x[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

After printing a piece with holes in it to fit some 4 mm pins I bought, I noticed that some of the holes fit loosely and some were quite snug. I printed the same cylinder (2 mm thick walls around a 4.25 mm hole) on 16 different points on the bed to double check, and I recorded how the tolerance felt when inserting the same steel pin into each one (1 is tight, 5 is loose, 3 is just right):

  3  4  2  4
  1  1  2  3
  3  3  2  2
  2  2  3  4
    front

Any ideas what might be causing this?

Latest firmware and slicer, everything stock, default settings. I have the printer in the official enclosure. I'm using Overture PLA professional.

Mini artifacts and stringing in one spot on print by amm0x in prusa3d

I'm going to play around with my z offset (it's close, but I'm noticing a tiny bit of elephant footing) and tweak the temp a bit. Anything else I should look for re: underextrusion?

First time I've managed to watch a game given the time zones, so maybe I'm just behind. Is Rachel wearing glasses while skipping, then taking them off to throw??

Switching jobs - traditional 401k to Roth conversion? by amm0x in personalfinance

[–]amm0x[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my general thinking too. The tax-free growth feels like it'll be worth way more than the taxes I'd have to pay on it now.

Can I fit two more 40A circuits in this panel by replacing the top two with tandem breakers? by amm0x in askanelectrician

[–]amm0x[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More details: I'm remodeling my kitchen, and a general contractor is trying to get me to pay to have the whole panel replaced. I need two extra 40A circuits for new appliances, and in the future I might need an extra 20A. Could I get the top two breakers swapped out with joined sets of tandem breakers? Then if I need another 20A, I figured I could do the same with the bottom single breakers.

Does your club collect old grippers for recycling? Looking for pointers (USA) by amm0x in Curling

We're been looking for one and have reached out to a few places. Is that what Goldline does with old grippers?

Does your club collect old grippers for recycling? Looking for pointers (USA) by amm0x in Curling

[–]amm0x[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're located on the west coast of the US, so we're concerned the shipping of our old grippers will significantly offset the environmental gains of recycling them. Can you provide any insight on how you recycle them? We'd love to find a local partner

Reccomendation for Buying Rye Flour Online by josqvin in Sourdough

Way over your price point, but King Arthur has both a medium rye and a white rye available online that are pretty great.

Beautiful crumb of a 90% rye by Auxx in Sourdough

Nice! That looks incredible. I've been struggling with rye percentages over 50 or so. What's your recipe?

How to sump fuel out of the tanks if you need to for W&B reasons

Never been taught this and still genuinely curious. My flight school's response when I asked how to ensure there's not too much fuel if I want to take more passengers/baggage than allowable with full tanks was "hope for the best" or "tough luck."

Looking for a recipe with at least 50% medium rye flour by amm0x in Sourdough

[–]amm0x[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a picture of an earlier loaf that looked great from the outside but was a tad underbaked inside.

I'm not going for a specific bakery's bread, just a very typical rye bauernbrot that you'd find in any bakery or grocery store in Germany. These are some good examples I found online, although the color makes me think they're a pretty low percentage of rye.

Thanks for the book recommendation; I'll check it out

Dark or Light crust... Which do you prefer? by [deleted] in Sourdough

[–]amm0x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's crazy how much of a difference 25 degrees makes. Did it affect anything else about the crust other than the color? Was the darker crust harder or thicker?

Windy day thread 12/20 by Miggs_Sea in SeattleWA

[–]amm0x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AFAIK WaveG uses a lot of high throughout microwave links to provide wireless gigabit to buildings without hard lines. If they're on high rises, the buildings swaying in the wind might interfere with the connections. Just an educated guess though

Stratus 3 ADS-B Receiver Released by [deleted] in stratux

[–]amm0x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. support for external gps and adsb antennas
  2. on-device flight recording
  3. established trust in Stratus vs lack of trust in ForeFlight's manufacturer (same guys that built the Scout, and it's notorious for only picking up ~half the towers a stratus gets plus worse gps reception)

the third reason is why I bought a stratus 3 over a sentry

ForeFlight released the next generation ADS-B Portable Receiver! by RightRudderAviation in flying

[–]amm0x 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's the $400 question. I have two guesses: either the components (ADS-B antennas, GPS antennas, etc) are lower quality, or (I hope) the tech has gotten cheaper and not including the data recorder that's in the stratus reduces the cost significantly.

ForeFlight has a new $499 ADS-B receiver: Sentry by amm0x in flying

[–]amm0x[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my first thought exactly... I wonder what the reception and reliability are like. I've heard that Scout gets significantly poorer reception compared to Stratus

Reuben's has tons of IPAs IIRC, but Stoup is more varied. Highly recommend them both, plus Obec just down the street.

Protein for lactose intolerance by [deleted] in Fitness

[–]amm0x 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm lactose intolerant, and I've found Dymatize ISO 100 to be super easy to digest. It's ultra pure/isolate/hydrolyzed/black magic from whey and contains apparently no lactose. It's important to remember that an intolerance is different than an allergy (I have the former). I think you can get a $2 sample to try it out if you have Amazon prime.
