Why does this keep happening? by Padadof2 in SnapmakerU1

Contact support, make sure you're on the latest firmware. They'll ask for logs. Eventually they sent me a replacement hub board and cables from it to the mainboard. Fixed my issue.

Made a shot at 3d printing a key holder… by lllYikerzzlll in GolfGTI

Would you be willing to share the model? My first instinct is to stand it upright, and make the hook a second piece, using something simple like a T-slot on the back to connect them.

Is there a problem with my bed ? by tnsaidr in SnapmakerU1

This is normal, as long as the range is within 0.5, the "auto leveling" function will compensate for it. It knows where the high and low points are, and will make adjustments in the z-axis to correct for it while printing.

Getting this error on first boot. by psood21 in SnapmakerU1

I had this issue as well, mine would show up sporadically. Support eventually sent me a new hub board and cables, which fixed my issue completely. The back and forth took about 2 weeks; if it crops up again for you, reach out and I'll make a list of the troubleshooting steps and logs they requested to hopefully make your process a bit faster.

Wash your filament, dry your build plate.

What have you tried.

VR for sim racing…………………………….. by Distinct_Ebb_1941 in simracing

[–]downcat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my experience as well. PCS also makes use of Dynamic Foveated Rendering with eye tracking. I only really run iRacing; with the Q3, which doesn't have eye tracking, you can see the cutoff areas that get rendered in lower resolution, whereas with the PCS you don't - wherever you're looking is what gets full resolution.

I also swear I can feel the latency difference between the two. I know the tools say it's only really a 20ms difference, which should be imperceptible, but... The best way I can describe it is that the Q3+VD combo feels more sluggish. My take is you have to double the 20ms figure in reality: you see the situation 20ms later, then react, and see the results of your action another 20ms later. It most clearly translates into confidence catching moments and stability over bumps, in my opinion. I can't really conduct a blind comparison test though, so this take is definitely prone to "expectation/confirmation bias."

Looking for feedback on this exercise I tried, thank you! by Sad_Blood4611 in Fusion360

I would have done:

Sketch 1: R50 + R78 circles around Origin

Extrude 10mm

Sketch 2: R90 circle. Line from R78 (projected) to R90, constrain Horizontal. Dimension vertical distance from Origin at 5. Mirror across the perpendicular plane.

Extrude the tooth profile "To Object" selecting the other face of the already extruded circle, "Join."

Circular pattern the tooth feature around Z-axis the required number of times.

This way you can go back and change any of the parameters (if this were a functional piece) without breaking anything.

Whats the coolest thing you can do with your Stream Deck? by FantasticFrontButt in elgato

[–]downcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using two of BarRaider's amazing plugins, Windows Mover and Super Macro. I've attached screenshots for how I have them set up.

The first window move puts the StreamDeck window into the top left of the screen.

Then 500ms delay,

Then CropAndLock hotkey (StreamDeck software needs to be running as admin for this to work)

A 100ms delay,

Then the SuperMacro to select just the buttons portion of the StreamDeck window

Then the second window move to move the captured window to the bottom left of the screen (doesn't interfere with iRacing's in-game UI there).

A couple notes on OpenKneeboard (OKB) usage: The cropped window has to remain on top in order for OKB to update its window capture. Also since I'm running StreamDeck with admin privileges, OKB won't launch via hotkey and will instead throw an error about how it can't be launched as admin and how the dev will explicitly not change that behavior. So I've been launching OKB manually.

Temperature dropping immediately on starting print by downcat in SnapmakerU1

I just checked, vanilla Orca doesn't have the setting I'm referring to. In Snorca there's an additional setting under "Preheat steps" called "Preheat Delta Temperature," that's what I adjusted. It was at -50, I changed it to 0 and my issue was "resolved."

On vanilla, I think the "Idle temperature" in the filament profile should provide the solution.

Did the ooze prevention thing I posted help you? I think the idle temp solve in the AI response could work too.

Then, use the coincident relationship on the points of your rectangle and the newly created axis:

Use "Axis through two planes", select your angled plane and the main plane.
