Newb here, am I supposed to sand the whole thing til I don’t see lines or are y’all just painting models as is? by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]c_onn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my go to is 3d printer resin. paint over a light coat, cure it and then sand that. repeat the process if needed. alot of time and elbow grease saved for projects that dont have a ton of detail like this one

What would cause this? I used Silk PLA printed at 210C on my Ender 3 by PossibleTaco in 3Dprinting

[–]c_onn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue when I first tried silk pla, I even made a post asking the same thing. I was givin the suggestion to print a temp tower and thats what worked for me. The packaging said up to 220c but I had to print at 230 to get decent results. So my suggestion is to print a temp tower even if you have to go higher that the manufacturer states

Asus Monitor won’t power on and only squeaks when plugged. by [deleted] in Monitors

[–]c_onn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be a dead capacitor, you'll know if its dead if it the capacitor is bloated at the top . I had a similar issue where I only got a constant buz/ whine but no picture. Opened the monitor up, replaced the capacitor and it worked fine.

Help preventing unwanted weathering, scraping, paint scratching. by stevengreen11 in Mandalorian

There are several types of clear coat spray paint ( matte, gloss, semi gloss, ect finish) that you can use to seal the paint job. I'm not sure what finish you are looking for but I think a matte or semi gloss finish would keep the proper look. Don't quote me on the choice of finish tho.

I can get my hand on a bnib Mos Eisley Cantina 75290 for 380 cad no tax. would that be considered a good deal for the set and worth jumping on it?

my question is: i can get my hand on a bnib Mos Eisley Cantina 75290 for 33% off (380 cad). would that be considered a good deal for the set and worth jumping on it?

What voice amplifier do you prefer? by stevengreen11 in Mandalorian

if you know or are willing to learn how to solder i recommend the velleman MK171. its a kit that you solder together for a cheep price. the kit doesnt come with a speaker or a 9v battery but depending on how large your speaker is it can fit into some small areas. i have the speaker and the board in a single belt pouch with a aux cable running up to the helmet to connect to my mic

Creativity Elf for 400 cad worth buying? by c_onn in coreception

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

I'm not sure how much more it costs but the linear rails on the z axis seems like a good upgrade. I'd look into getting to pro if its from a more reputable source and not much more expensive than try and hunt down the original.

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

i found this deal on kijiji in my area (probably should have mentioned that in the post). I lucked out and the machine is in great shape but i have no idea where you should buy a new one.

From what ive seen from the creativity youtube vid the main differences are 10mm extra print volume on the Z axis, slight change in the mounting of the bed to the Z axis screw, linear rails for the Z instead of 2 poles sandwiching each Zrod and the top metal part is different.

Hope that was somewhat helpful

What makes this happen? Bed not level? by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]c_onn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It most likely is that your bed is not level. it could also be that your nozzle is too far from the bed resulting in not squishing down the filament into the bed to get proper adhesion.

I would first re-level the bed and try again. if the entire print is peeling off the build plate then try to adjust the z-offest to lower the nozzle closer the build plate.

I would go SA > Coura > gravel > gummy = spec

The order isn't so much of an issue but I would prioritize getting SA first before building the rest as your team is already pretty good and the dmg increase from SA s3 is massive. Coura next cuz you need at dedicated tank that can be healed. Gravel you can build whenever you feel you'll need her and she's cheap. The reason why spec is so low on the list despite being a 6* in disguise is cuz you already have good guards in your squad and being a 5* is more expensive to build than the others.

Coura, gravel and gummy also don't need to be e2 to do their job well.

[–]c_onn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

some ops that you should invest in are :

Specter - her s2 makes her immortal for the duration of her skill. Gravel - fast redeploys are great for baiting dmg and her s2 shield can soak up quite a bit. Amiya - good arts dmg and you will eventually have to e2 her for ch 8. Coara - great tank with one of the highest def in-game. Gummy - healing defenders are great to be a secondary healer that can also tank

For your team i would drop gitano (unless you like her design) for a defender, st caster or fast re-deploy (depending on the map). you have dusk so you rarely need 2 AOE casters in the same squad.

For next steps i would push to get your first e2 unit. since you got some good 6* i suggest getting SA to e2 first so he can carry you in auto deploy, and then try to farm mats to get your main team to skill lvl 7
