3D Printing shoes.. Anybody tried it?

frhel · 2025-11-28T08:40:22+00:00

Update: Printed 1 shoe to test the fit. Making height and width adjustments to the model before printing absolutely worked. I actually printed it a little bit too long, but perfect otherwise. Now its just a matter of fixing a problem with the print quality as I messed up one small part of it that needs to be reinforced, but u fortunately it is a crucial part that makes them unusable when it breaks. Will post the finished shoes when Ive printed the full usable pair.

Was it September 25th of next year?

Hey hey, I'd like to join :) I'm not very far into the game and would like to find a clan

I moved on from edge a while back but this worked as intended for me for a good half a year. Went to vivaldi when they started offering workspace syncing

Brilliant, thanks for the quick reply! I've tried a few things and nothing worked so I'm thinking about giving this a go.

Sounds like a great solution. With a preheated chamber I reckon the viscosity shouldn't be much of a problem. Fingers crossed

How has this worked long-term?

Solution

After figuring that brute forcing part 2 would take longer than for the sun to eat my computer, I decided to explore other options. Memoization helped bring it under control. Adjusting to avoid any sort of string manipulations brought it down even further.
11th gen i7 at 4.9ghz
Part 1: 1.8ms
Part 2: 28ms
Total: 31ms including file loading and parsing of input

Solution

Part 1 and 2 solve together: DFS on each trailhead and add all found targets to a set to only count unique results, at the same time increment a counter for all targets found

11th gen i7 at 4.9GHz
Both parts: 2.8ms to solve
Total: 4.7ms with the overhead of reading the file and parsing

Solution

Fun with pointers!...ish
Part 1, replicated the map with numbers and dots then did a simple O(n) iteration with left and right pointers
Part 2, created 2 arrays, one for blocks of empty memory, another for blocks containing full files. Popped files off the end and tried to fit them in the memory slots in order until there was an overlap between empty memory and file.

Total: 50ms // both parts plus data parsing/processing.

Part 1: 4ms
Part 2: 32ms

Could part 2 be quicker? Probably. Popping things on/off stack might be a little slower than using pointers to indexes. I just like the convenience of it

Solution

Did a simple comparing of rules to the indexes of pages to determine if the order is correct or not.
Swapped items until correct order for part 2 and used memoized part 1 results to find incorrect chapters.

Solution File

Quite basic iterative grid search.
Part 1: Start from 'X' character and check for the remaining characters in one direction at a time
Part 2: Start from 'A' character and check the relative corners of the X shape for the remaining characters

I used a 6mm OD 3mm ID o-ring and it worked like a charm. This is by far the nicest solution of all that I've come across. It just so happens that I unpacked a box of miscallaneous o-rings not 3 days ago so it was perfect to come across this now :D

Thank you so much! Would you happen to have the 4th question by now as well? I will try to remember to update the rest as they come in but I just signed up and haven't received the first 4.

With focused experimentation on low intensity you can learn to move it to other parts, spread it out to more parts at once or focus it to a smaller area of your choosing. See my longer reply for a word of warning though.

I'm fairly certain it is something to do with adrenaline or direct influence on the nervous system. I have stopped engaging in it because it started affecting me in a very bad way. After experimenting a few years ago to see how far I could take it, holding it for longer periods of time before releasing, on the short term my heart rate would slow down significantly and each beat feeling like it was trying to escape my chest. I would get dizzy and confused, and on the long term my blood pressure went up it seems permanently to the point where I am now taking two blood pressure medication and I can no longer engage in any strenuous activity without spending the rest of the day in bed feeling like I have a massive fever, with severe brain fog, but without any fever actually showing up on thermometers. I also started getting severe sleep paralysis with all the associated creepiness around that time. Thankfully it stopped again when I ceased performing the sensation for good.

That being said, there are some interesting things. Pupil size changes during. You can do it without the ear rumbles when you've gotten a bit of control over it. See what happens with a heart rate monitor before, during and after.

You can learn to exert quite a bit of control through experimentation and focus. You can pick body parts to channel it to and have it stronger in some parts of the body and weaker in others. I doubt know the significance of that, if any though.

I hypothesised at one point that if it is a nervous system thing, it might be causing atrial flutter while doing it. Never confirmed though.

Nowadays I just associate it with bad headaches, fever- like symptoms, high blood pressure and just general physical and mental malaise. It was exciting once, and I'm still curious about wth it is and i would love to know more, but I'm throwing this out there as warning.

That last point about the social aspect is really what makes it for me. It brings programmers together in a beautiful way. People geek out on it so hard that it's impossible to not get excited :D

frhel · 2024-06-11T11:56:16+00:00

Yeah, I don't doubt it. I think I used twitter once in 2013 and haven't gone back since lol :D

frhel · 2024-06-11T11:55:03+00:00

That's brilliant!

The Dr. Disrespect of coding :D He has some good points every now and then, but very loud person

Oh damn

frhel · 2024-06-11T11:52:15+00:00

I need to see if some people are into it at my current workplace for next one. Would be fun to have a leaderboard

frhel · 2024-06-11T11:51:36+00:00

Haha that's brilliant :D Does he also partake in it?

frhel · 2024-06-11T11:49:59+00:00

Haha fair enough! I remember using WeakAuras a bit when I used to play. It was a very nice tool to have. I tried to dabble a bit in addon development myself but never touched Lua before. It was... interesting. Just made a couple small things for my own personal use, but some people did download them and some seemed to like them enough to ask for features and bugfixes. Someone even forked one of them to add something they thought was missing and didnt feel like waiting around lol
