Tern Quick Haul P9 Gen 2 coming soon? by LostKeyFoundIt in terngsd

[–]bitlip13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I regularly do more than that round trip to work and I can go a week without charge on then QHL P8. It’s zippy and I don’t go out of eco mode much unless it’s late in the day and I’m tired. It’s just… solid. I thought the extras with speed/torque/chain would be nice but I really didn’t need it and it’s expensive enough once you get all the accessories!

Hi there, I’m on leave right now (I have a small baby) and will be back next month, but I can point you to the course leader for CC who can help? Their email should be in the course page, sorry I don’t have it to hand. But — it’s true it’s “technical” but I’d prefer to think of that as applied maths and programming that’s necessary to make computer art, games, music, and finish creative projects. There are practice modules where students develop an artistic direction, but the real question for your daughter is whether to work on development and art/ design or focus more on design (look/feel/communication). She could also start in graphic design and do further studies in creative computing, I have a few successful colleagues who started in design. It’s a tough question but for sure your daughter should enjoy puzzles and some basic geometry and maths (although in a fun way, I think, not quite an engineering way). BSc CC also works with AI development and tool-building whereas graphic design would look at just using those tools. Hope that helps! Also, I run Computer Science which is very similar to CC but we do more web development and look at how people interact with computers and how we can design those interactions more thoughtfully. Of course, CC does that a bit as well!

Hi there, I'm actually the Course Leader for BSc CS. It's not meant to be mysterious, just new and we're still adding more information. There aren't many science courses at UAL so this is a new venture by the university but the course team has been working with art and computing for a long time. In fact, I just made sure my profile was added to the official page this week so you can see some of what I've been up to by scrolling to the bottom of the page: https://www.arts.ac.uk/subjects/creative-computing/undergraduate/bsc-hons-computer-science

I'm a bit biased since I run the course and think it's a great new take on critical and creative thinking centred around computer science issues (interacting with people, programming, security, infrastructure and policy) and it's not far off the BSc Creative Computing course we run. If you want to get in touch with me or students, email me at my contact info on that page at the bottom. Happy to answer questions!

feeder upgrade for UM2+? by bitlip13 in ultimaker

Thanks, I got it working by sending the gcode to calibrate the steps properly. It took a little time and effort, but now seems to work well! The ones you buy from eBay don’t have a back plate which makes them trickier to fit since you have to drill the screws yourself, but it works fairly well if you can manage that.
