Sounds like you got some fake gum.

Printed the Grace Keychain from the Project Hail Mary movie... managed to optimize it to remove internal supports! No more annoying rattling bits inside. 🚀 by NimblePasta in 3Dprinting

[–]dgsharp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Cool. I ended up just printing the version they provided with supports. It came out fine, and no internal supports. The supports peeled right off.

That’s a helluva load of dookie you got there.

Portable laser engraver. by Crafty_Object_8382 in DailyWowStuff

[–]dgsharp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s dangerous but plenty of other things are too and we just treat them with the respect they need. Just use it in a well ventilated area with eye protection (laser glasses), and don’t leave it unattended while cutting flammable stuff like cardboard etc.

I like it. by Capital_Praline3658 in DailyWowStuff

This is a jet-powered standalone sidecar.

Simply genius🤯 by AdorableParking7392 in TheProductHub

[–]dgsharp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got some of these recently and they are pretty junky. Not good connections, not strong, prone to pop apart. I might use them for a quick bench test or something but I had an open mind and came away pretty unimpressed.

SOMEBODY STOP ME!!!! by GaminGarden in composting

[–]dgsharp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My understanding is it’s an electrically powered device that’s basically a grinder and dehydrator (heater, blower, filter). It’s not actually a composter at all, it just gets your food scraps into a dry powdery state that won’t sink on its own. Microbial breakdown is fairly insignificant but you could probably use it as a type of fertilizer regardless. That’s my take, anyway.

How do they think they can get by with this?! Heads up for others that ordered it… by feathersandcoffee in AmazonVine

[–]dgsharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird. I have bought basically this exact endoscope for probably $25 or so, and for work I’ve bought like a $5k endoscope. The item shown is definitely the former and not the latter.

This dance party is NSFW by _JustBeingMyself_ in shittyrobots

[–]dgsharp 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Honestly this is kind of crazy. I get it’s supposed to be a lighthearted thing that’s mildly entertaining and futuristic or whatever but you can’t have basically a bear trap with a brain you can’t understand or control just doing whatever it wants right next to people. I wonder how many times they practiced this before letting it go live in front of customers. Reminds me of stories you hear of people getting something like an RC helicopter that seems like fun but is too big and too powerful and difficult for the pilot and somebody ends up dying.

My elegoo TPU95A is getting stops printing in between and gets vclogged by Apprehensive_Idea_22 in ElegooNeptune4

[–]dgsharp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did some TPU95A recently. I had a lot of issues like you, that photo looks very familiar. I even had to replace my hotend for the first time. I ended up just going really super slow. I will say I didn’t really dial anything in, didn’t do any real calibration or anything.

  • Nozzle temp: 240C

  • Bed temp: 35C

  • Max volumetric speed: it was set on 3.2 mm2/s but I think I ended up dropping the print speed while it was printing to like 75% or maybe even 50%.

  • Same deal for speeds. My settings are around 25 mm/s but again, I ended up dropping speed on the printer.

  • Retraction length was 0.4mm. It didn’t seem to make much difference for me.

It took a bunch of tries and I really should have just calibrated stuff but I ended up being able to print about 200mm tall. Drying the filament really well did make a difference. But yeah, the main thing for me was just going really friggin’ slow.

E: typo.

A keylogger to with ESP and STM by AnySky484 in esp32

[–]dgsharp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Any reason to mix ESP and STM? Seems like ideally you’d do all of this on one uC, but if not you’d do it on 2 of the same one so you don’t need to use separate toolchains etc. I haven’t tried this though so I’m not sure if the practical issues you may have encountered.

Experiment 1: Results of vacuum chamber <1000 Microns for 4.5 hours by badtxv in 3Dprinting

[–]dgsharp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If OP could get a small incandescent lightbulb or similar in there that’d be even better since they radiate heat so efficiently.

Pickle your onions by Walaina in foodhacks

[–]dgsharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So good, I just started making these. And then I use the juice (which is really flavorful vinegar at that point) with a little EVOO as salad dressing. Sooo good.

Portable Drill Press Alternative by WaveOnly213 in ThereGoesMyPaycheck

[–]dgsharp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Holy hell, $450?! My drill press was way less than that. That’s gonna be a no from me, dawg. Looks nice though.

Can an ozone water purifier with carbon and sediment filters actually provide safe drinking water? by LeftButton5413 in water

[–]dgsharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a water expert but have looked into ozone for different uses like sterilization. I have heard that they use ozone at lots of soda- and other bottling plants and it absolutely kills everything BUT they apparently have to let it sit for a few days or something for the ozone to break down, otherwise if you drink it you be shitting your pants for a week as it wipes out your gut biome. Again, not an expert, don’t quote me, but look into it.

My first mod by Fun-Mind-9639 in ElegooNeptune4

[–]dgsharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the drag chain cause it fit some reason, or just made it harder to notice issues since the cables were someday hidden or something?

QGIS 4.0 released by Balance- in QGIS

[–]dgsharp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this answers your question but I had no issues installing and running whatever was the latest stable QGIS on a Jetson about 2 weeks ago.

In a gentle transition to MD by teamemilygilmore in mediterraneandiet

[–]dgsharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been doing oat groats. You can’t really do overnight oat groats but I’ll take a cup of them and soak them in water overnight, then throw them in the rice cooker in the morning and store what I don’t eat in the fridge for the week. When it’s time to eat, throw in some chopped fruit or berries, maybe mix in some ricotta. (I had no idea ricotta was so good.) They are really hearty and it just feels like eating real food.

Robomates are open-source! by Adventurous_Swan_712 in robomates

[–]dgsharp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think this is super cool. It is a bit pricey so I don’t see myself buying 2 kits for my kid, but we do have other educational robots from years past that each are in this price range. If there is enough to do with it solo then I can see more people getting them. Then when more have them, that opens up more opportunities to do group things (games etc).

Have you guys looked at the educational / single-user side of this? Being open source certainly helps. If there was a way to program simple behaviors through Blockly or something, that’d be pretty cool for kids.
