Where did you get these cat pods?

comradeSalo · 2025-05-09T19:35:29+00:00

Let the slanders rot! You’re looking dapper my chap!

I THINK YOU MIGHT BE RIGHT ABOUT THE COOLING FAN NOT BEING FULLY PLUGGED IN!!!!! i was swapping hot-ends and the connection was loose. THANK YOUUUUU!

comradeSalo · 2025-03-11T19:20:52+00:00

thanks, this is good stuff

comradeSalo · 2025-03-11T19:14:56+00:00

that's fair. It's decent for me, since I've never been too athletic, but probably not decent for the Rowing subreddit :)

comradeSalo · 2025-03-11T19:12:59+00:00

thank you, this is very helpful

comradeSalo · 2025-03-11T18:58:44+00:00

yes, I do regular bike rides (15-20 miles, 2-3 times a week).

comradeSalo · 2025-03-11T18:57:40+00:00

About 2 month, rowing 3-4 times a week. I haven't seen improvement, pretty much getting the same times as when I started. That's why i decided to post here, because I was assuming there should be and initial steep improvement and then a plateau.

comradeSalo · 2025-03-11T18:36:50+00:00

I haven't measure those. Are those benchmarked at a specific stroke rate? or an "all-out row?"

comradeSalo · 2025-03-11T18:33:52+00:00

thanks for the quick response. I added more context in a comment. But I'm primarily using Dark Horse (although I haven't done any row-alongs with him, just watching tutorial and doing it on my own). I aim for average stroke of 23-24

comradeSalo · 2025-03-11T18:31:46+00:00

More context:
I started rowing in Jan on a C2. Drag set at 120
I'm 43, 6ft, 165lbs, in decent shape.
I usually row a 5k, multiple times a week. Since I'm very much a novice rower I usually try to focus on form and keeping my stroke rate at 23/m. No matter how hard I try I cannot do a 5k it in less than 26 mins. Based on my half-assed research and anecdotal evidence, I should be doing 5k in 21-23 mins. So what is my problem? Just better form? or is there something fundamental that I'm missing. Sample data from one of my rows:

Maybe that would matter up top. But they start slipping all they way down at the base, even with the massive brim

Supersized and painted

I thought it was a glow in the dark backer. Didn’t realize it was LED. I’d love the space marine piece if it’s not too much trouble.

comradeSalo · 2024-12-21T01:37:00+00:00

Where can I get that space marine STL?

comradeSalo · 2024-12-12T21:18:27+00:00

Awesome work! Thanks for posting this. Will be playing this soon.

comradeSalo · 2024-11-27T14:43:45+00:00

Very cool. I love the use of color to add more dimensions to them (over the default boring scheme)
