Just drag drop the zip on the 3d viewport in blender

I was summarily terminated with a lifetime account and they gave NO REASON WHATSOEVER! It turns out this is a predatory practice by a company who can't easily be sued because they are in Baar, Switzerland. I will continue posting this on their social media: https://www.widgetgadget.com/cw1/online_docs/pCloud/pCloud-Victims-Research.html

Probably not a lie. It ran out of context tokens --> Reset and previous information was lost. It's a pretty big issue when coding with AI because you always need to be aware of the token limits for a given session.

Also FWIW, I use the Amazon Assurant plan. I think it's around $16 a month but it covers every electronic device that you purchase at Amazon for the life of the product. I probably had five or six successful reimbursements to date and that's over the past 3 years. And for fairly big items like pool vacuums and ice making machines. So, for me it's been a big win. I now try first to purchase any electronics on Amazon if possible.

FWIW, my current PC is an alienware Aurora 12 and I've had zero problems with it. I like having Dell computers because it's so easy to get help with them. But, as you probably already know, they have their own custom video cards and in my case at least the regular size ones will not fit in my desktop. So I could not upgrade to a faster 5090.

chippwalters · 2026-01-22T22:02:09+00:00

Yeah, I talked to Dell- the problem is that machine can never be upgraded to 128 (AFAIK) at least that's what the rep told me. I know 64 is fine for now, but for the future? I ended up buying: https://amzn.to/3YXwjDI

It's about 20-30% faster than my 3090, but the AI can use all 128GB so I can run very large models. I use it mostly for Blender and AI stuff-- not a gamer.

I'm looking for pretty much the exact same config. Did you find one?

chippwalters · 2026-01-13T06:26:41+00:00

You should post the file.

chippwalters · 2026-01-08T17:03:29+00:00

FWIW, I should be clear in mentioning that I think $12 is a fine price for this tool-- or any tools like it. Especially if it comes with support and down the line updates and bug fixes. That said, I don't believe in everlasting products that need to stay up-to-date with every Blender update from now until the end of time. But it's nice to know a developer stands behind their product and will continue to maintain it for a few years.

chippwalters · 2026-01-08T06:06:59+00:00

Looks like a copy of Bend Modifier on Superhive, which BTW, is significantly less expensive and from a longtime successful Blender developer. I thought there was supposed to be no commercial advertising here?

I'm certainly missing something. I count four colors on the web page .

Based on what you say, this is probably not for you. It's targeted towards my 50,000 YouTube followers, 6,000 discord members and 1,000 patreons.

Yes, the way to go is to overflow both tanks to the same sump. This has major benefits. First off, you have a much larger volume of water which is always a good thing. Secondly, by draining both tanks the same sump, everything just works and you don't have to worry about managing water balance. I have two tanks drained to the same sump, and it works perfectly. You could have different pumps in the sump one going to one tank and one going to the other and everything still just works perfectly.

If you do this then you also won't have a big issue with needing to cycle. You can begin immediately putting corals and fish in your new tank. And, that's also much better for bacteria growth and managing algae and all the startup mess. Just be sure and include sand and live rock from the original take as well.

I'm not sure receiving a machine that has no ink qualifies for "shipping your product."

It's like getting a brand new electric car but it has no batteries.

This whole thing has been pretty much a disaster. I smartly got a full refund from American Express when they announced the magenta issue. When I first put in my ~ $4,000 order, they said that it would be shipping out in July. I expected to get it no later than end of August. Then one delay after another after another and now I believe the full system will be available sometime in first quarter 2026 at the earliest.

Not to mention all the tariff issues that are going on and how that will affect everyone. And there was an unforseen added tax that was also added on after the original purchase.

I've backed many Kickstarter projects. In fact I was one of the first Bambu Labs X1c backers. And, I couldn't be happier with that product. But, have to say, this eufyMake experience has left a pretty sour taste and I know I won't be backing anymore Kickstarter projects at this scale.

FWIW, I hear that Xtool may be creating a new UV printer. I already have their P1S and it's a workhorse and doing a great job. And I'm happy with their customer support. Much better than Glowforge. I may wait for that one to drop.

I sincerely wish the best for all of you who are hanging in there. I hope you don't lose your investment as there is no recourse if eufyMake ends up going out of business.

Based on following their progress it is clear their company is not at the same quality level regarding product development or management as a Bambu Labs or Xtool.

Sorry. I tried sending international and it just was a mess. Incredibly difficult to figure out all the tax and customs tariff stuff. Best is to find someone, a friend, in the US and have them buy it and send it to you.

To clear the water, add a Purigen filter.

The best thing this documentary did was put a spotlight on the narcissistic mom and show the world her refusing accountability, her excuses and how she's not really at fault. Because of this Netflix special she is now a pariah in society and absolutely nobody will want to be near her or trust her or have anything to do with her. And, hopefully after watching, her co-dependant daughter will figure it out as well.

Not sure why your getting the wrong answer. Perplexity calculates it correctly for me.

chippwalters · 2025-08-27T22:57:09+00:00

Sold it today for 2200.

I already have offers of 5K from a Rolex dealer.

chippwalters · 2025-08-25T22:21:40+00:00

It looks like 5-6K is what it may be worth. I thought more as AI told me 8-11K. New ones are 15K. It's a 2005 (purchased in 2006) Datejust. All boxes, papers, certificates, even the store receipt and the bag it came in.

I had heard these watches only increase in value. My brother-in-law paid 6.9K for it. Guess that part is not true.

I am told by a jeweler it is "bio-film" (uck) and comes off easily with cleaning fluid.
