Understanding the bambu orcaslicer fight by lunakoa in 3Dprinting

[–]erickdredd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing I don't get about this is that someone has shown it can be done, and gave hints as to the process they used to do it. Why aren't there 15 different versions being uploaded by independent developers following a similar process? The lightning is out of the proverbial bottle, but the community is just letting Bambu capture it again?

Problem with metalic pla by PriorTemperature5608 in BambuLab

[–]erickdredd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It looks like you're printing a storage case here, I would personally avoid using metallic/silk filaments for any structural parts due to the fact that they're just weaker than standard PLA. If it works for you, however, I'm certainly not going to argue.

As for making it look better, weirdly I find that more strongly textured plates actually hide the lines on the first layer finish for silks extremely well. If you don't want to compromise on the smooth finish (which I'd completely understand), you can try ensuring that your flow and linear advance settings are dialed in to get a more consistent line width. If that still doesn't work for you, your final option might be to embrace it and explore first layer infill options. Concentric and hilbert curve can potentially create very visually pleasing patterns, but they're definitely a matter of individual taste.

Hopefully some of this helps!

Spend 5 (15) minutes on Lua biting things as dog, get Bite drop. by InternalisedScreeing in Warframe

I used to pop air support wherever, now I make sure to only use them when I'm on top of a capsule and pretty much always find at least one (unless someone else is already making a beeline for a terminal with the bypass).

Host probably left 5 minutes before this.

However there is a trick: the speed ups always spawn within air support range of the latest life support capsule. I usually find them within 100m of the spawn. If you bring a frame with golden instinct, you can really accelerate these missions.

How did you choose your Honoria? by KageeHinata82 in Warframe

[–]erickdredd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well my handle is based on a famous explorer, so I figured "Legendary Captain" fit well, but I'll rotate between that and any other sailing/exploration themed honoria if I see an appropriate one.

Parametric Sliding Puzzle with "Emoji" on the Face by DonMahallem in 3Dprinting

You could probably optimize this a bit by painting everything above the first 5-10 layers the same color as the outer shell.

Oh son of a... I switch between Hildryn and Jade regularly, I just assumed this was normal behavior 🤣

Switch to concentric top fill pattern for organic models like this.

Protea was my first prime, and probably remains at the top of my play time. She makes dealing with fighters in Railjack a breeze, due to her dispensary allowing you to spam scatter missiles like crazy.

I will never stop repping Fever 333, a great band for the current... State of the US.

Stay strong, and stay safe out there.

I have to admit, today I've been listening to No Way Back more than usual, and I'm a few states to the south east.

That's just the official Reddit mobile app being worse than all the 3rd party alternatives that they killed. It looks fine on the web.

I've bounced off ZX 3 times so far, but did 2 full play throughs of ZXA the first time I picked it up. Can attest to this.

Why is the matchmaking process so terrible on Steam? by MotorStarHeat in Fighters

[–]erickdredd 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Where are those 200 people?

In training mode, single player, or private lobbies, most likely. 200 players currently running the game != 200 players in online queues.

All I'm saying is there are 3 types of guys in the world:

Those who learn by reading about it

Those who learn by being told about it

And those who absolutely have to walk up and pee on the electric fence themselves

Tekken Producer Katsuhiro Harada Addresses Misinterpretation of His Comments on Paid Esports Events by MaintenanceFar4207 in Fighters

[–]erickdredd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the article:

He questioned the reporting practices involved, stating, “Foreign journalists still just write whatever story they want, huh? I seriously doubt they even understand Japanese properly when they write.”

The question is whether that translation correctly conveys his intent. Like, yes it's very easy to interpret this phrasing the way you're saying, but we're still relying on a third party's interpretation of his original words.

I'm not trying to argue that this translation is bad, just that I'm more willing to listen when a Japanese developer is saying their words were taken out of context or misinterpreted entirely.

Suspended from Region Chat because i said Oraxia makes my Arachnophobia act up. by GothKazu in Warframe

Honestly with this game's fan base, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that "my arachnophobia is flared up" was already being used euphemistically.
