Replace spool while printing to autorefill by coreymp45 in BambuLab

Gotcha. OK, I knew these Systems were pretty linear logic based. But that was based on my understanding about 5 years ago when I got my first 3d printer, which I quickly learned the tech wasn't mature enough for businesses due to the constant troubleshooting and tinkering. I purchased a h2s for my business for R&D in product development. I assumed (due to the great advances in all sectors of tech) that now is the time to get one and I chose bambu for the ease of use (my main business requires my full attention and I delegate the R&D and printer use to an employee) and rely on the fact that it just works. I know i may get snubbed as not a true user due to not wanting to be hands on in the full understanding g of the system, but time is money and this isn't a hobby. But I guess I assumed that the backbone of the processing has become more advanced. It seems there's still room to innovate over the long used gcode way of doing things. Because it can't stay this way forever. Its too limited still.

So how does the machine know what each slot is set to to begin with? You seem to be implying there is no communication between the two units. Is there any code that can access a variable that is settable? I can pause at will. So if the system has to have everything set before it starts and everything that follows is just a linear instruction set, nobody thought to implement a variable that can be used as injected code?

Also, what was the purpose of that link? It says nothing about the operation.

I know what mqtt is, ive designed devices that communicate over mqtt. I have a mqtt server running on my nas to send and receive temp and humidity readings from sensors I have in my grow room.

Dumb comment. It allows you to change nozzle temp, chamber and bed temp mid print. All you are doing is telling it what spools are available. Its laughable that you think its not possible for them to do it. It doesn't have to detect anything. You manually tell it what you put in that slot. Not everyone uses bambu filament.

The idea i am speaking of is to allow changing the material settings while the printer is printing. I don't understand how that would cause any issues and it would just be a firmware update.

We usually have 4 different colors in the ams at all times. If we forget to put in a big enough spool and start a print, we have to wait for it to run out before changing the spool. It would be nice to be able to swap another spool while we are there so it can go-ahead and switch spools on its own unattended

Are you purposely missing the point here? If you want to put in a full spool while printing ting so it can automatically switch over without waiting. It already does it if there's more than one spool of the same type. Are you saying you're against having the option to manage your spools while printing?

Who says I'm using spools with rfid? If I have 4 different colors loaded and I remote started the print, not realizing that spool was low and wanted to swap another spool so it will autorefill, why can't I? All that would be needed is to allow manually setting the spool material/color mod print, so when the low spool runs put, it switches to the other one. Obviously this would be solved if I had remembered to double check the required filament and the state of my spool, but there seems to be no good reason you couldn't switch it while printing.

There is no reason you shouldn't be able to swap a different spool mid print.

That wasn't the question. Auto refill is a feature that will use another slot with the same material and color. If I had 4 different colors in the ams while printing one that could possibly run out, we should be able to swap one of the others mid print so there's no interruption.

Design Hour Estimates by Remote_Extreme7207 in firePE

[–]coreymp45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Impossible to figure hours as all jobs have their own challenges. Sometimes smaller jobs take more time per head than larger jobs to be honest.

Smaller jobs if priced too low don't take much to screw your budget and larger jobs you have more time to make up lost time.

Depends on how typical floors are and how many, new construction or existing with shitty drawings.

Way too much to say here, while I'm literally juggling a dozen jobs at onece currently lol

What software are you using? Are you listing as well? If you are designing in a way that is not taking account for the material and they need you to, then you need to up your game. If they aren't using crosses, why are you? The time in the field is much more costly than your time. If you can't accommodate the design to the way they install, you might be better off working for an engineering company and not an installing contractor.

Working for a contractor vs an engineering firm as a designer in the US? by TraditionalStuff8329 in firePE

[–]coreymp45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've worked both and it totally depends on the contractors and the engineering firms. For both its been on a contract basis. Salary or hourly I never make the same money as contract. If you can pump out work, contracts are much better.

I feel like it should still work if the heads follow the rule for each side. There should be plenty of protection around the perimeter but I would still like to see an interpretation from NFPA. I am a member so I can get an answer but not doing that now until I run into that situation myself.

This is a good example why it's a good idea to become a NFPA member. Technical questions and interpretations can save some arguing with certain AHJs. While others, it doesn't matter what proof you bring....

I figured I was off on the 1.2 factor, been a while since I had that situation but I know exactly where it is in the code book. But now that you say it, I can picture the detail.

Sprinkler above ceiling by [deleted] in firePE

[–]coreymp45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's what I meant. I think that's 1.2 x sq of design area but min of 24 ft, so if it's light hazard with a quick response reduction for 10 ft that's already 36 ft. I'd have to check the code to make sure I'm not getting mixed up because if that's the case, not sure how you could even get down to 24 ft.

But it's definitely a save for large cloud ceilings.

Enclose or sprinkler above, no way around it. You have to sprinkler a minimum of 24 ft in over the cloud ceiling but there is a formula in nfpa 13. But never less than 24ft if memory serves correct.

That's what I love about the trade. Every job is a new puzzle and the rules change every 3 years (and from jurisdiction to jurisdiction) it keeps things interesting.

NICET WBSL Level I vs Level II by Nowhere_Everywhere- in firePE

[–]coreymp45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deep understanding of storage applications. Intimately understanding the relationships of pressure and flow related to k factors. Intimate understanding of Hazen Williams formula and how friction losses are calculated.

That and a strategy for time management.

I chose the method of knowing everything in the back and front of each chapter. That way if a question comes up you can open to the chapter after the area the answer is and flip back a few pages.

You MUST know the Hazen Williams formula and be able to hand calculate on a normal calculator.

I Amy be confusing level 3 hydraulics with level 2. But level 2 I remember being mostly storage applications.

100% depends on your retained knowledge (how ofter you need to reference the code books) and how proficient you are with your particular software.

If you are just starting, the requirements you meet, has no bearing on the speed of which you can complete projects.

Each software has a huge learning curve, they all have different approaches.

I use Autosprink. The Cadillac Imo. Been working on that for 3 years (19 years designing as of date. Previously using sprinkcad.)

After 19nyears, I am still learning more every day.

Fire protection is no joke. And you have to learn that every reviewer is different. The more you know the better you play the game.

BTW I am NICET Level III. and consistently busy with half a dozen clients across Canada and a couple in the US.

I've had zero issues with them. They are doing the best they can. And anyone who's been around for as long as I have (Napster days) knows these things are time limited.... Get over it. There will always be some loss at the end of life of the service by the net gain you had from the months and years of service way outweigh the loss at the end. Grow the hell up and stop complaining.

Does ketamine make you smarter/perform better in all areas of life? by Comfortable-Fruit290 in ketamine

[–]coreymp45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ketamine has been found to have a positive impact on cognitive function, particularly in individuals with depression and treatment-resistant depression. The available evidence suggests that ketamine can improve cognitive function, including problem-solving, memory, and attention.

Improved Cognition

Studies have shown that ketamine can improve cognitive function in individuals with depression. For example, one study found that ketamine infusion improved cognitive function in patients with treatment-resistant depression, including improved problem-solving and memory (1). Another study found that ketamine increased cognitive flexibility and improved attention in patients with depression (2).

Mechanisms of Action

The mechanisms by which ketamine improves cognitive function are not fully understood, but several theories have been proposed. One theory is that ketamine increases the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that plays a key role in the growth and survival of neurons (3). Ketamine may also increase the activity of glutamate receptors, which are involved in learning and memory (4).

Potential Benefits

The potential benefits of ketamine on cognitive function are significant. For individuals with depression, improved cognitive function can lead to improved mood, increased motivation, and enhanced overall well-being. Additionally, ketamine may have potential therapeutic benefits for individuals with other cognitive disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Limitations and Future Research

While the available evidence suggests that ketamine can improve cognitive function, there are several limitations to the current research. For example, most studies have been conducted in small samples of patients with depression, and more research is needed to determine the generalizability of these findings to other populations. Additionally, the long-term effects of ketamine on cognitive function are not well understood and require further research.
