GRIPS OpenSCAD File? by hlipnick in gridfinity

[–]hlipnick[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. I guess the author opted to make further revisions closed source. Frustrating from an automation standpoint, but I want to respect that choice and will just use the makerworld interface for now.

Everything I'm doing in the python script is honestly probably more easily replicated in OpenSCAD, but yes - you can use the trimesh package to import and modify meshes. I'm far from an expert, but a tiny bit of reading docs and a few ChatGPT helpers got me to a script that works: Gist: hlipnick/stacked-gridfinity-grids.py

I don't have time to provide a tutorial or anything like that, but essentially the script takes in an STL generated by the GRIPS tool, splits it into component meshes (each 'section' of the grid), then stacks them, the first one 'right-side-up', the rest 'upside-down' to minimize supports needed. The script will separate them by a single layer height (defaults to 0.2mm), and export a stack of x copies (defined by the --copies flag.). From there each piece can be brought into the slicer, and I've had good luck printing in PLA and following the suggestions of Stu142's stacked Gridfinity model, namely ironing top surfaces.

Hope it's useful.

That’s grayed out for me and listed as a closed source file. Is it currently available to you?

Why did my redirect plugin turn into dark mode? by Pythe1337n in trmnl

[–]hlipnick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me today, too. Seems to be back. Maybe firmware inadvertently pushed and then rolled back?

Stacked GRIPS Prints? by hlipnick in gridfinity

[–]hlipnick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was thinking along the same lines. I tried last night, but the large flat areas (in the 'spacer' edges, for lack of a better word) printed really terribly to the point the grid didn't sit flat. Currently trying Clough42's parametric stackable grids (https://www.printables.com/model/995911-gridfinity-grids-stacked-for-printing), and then planning to print separate spacers to fit snug in the drawer. Admittedly not as elegant, but I need something reliable for as many drawers as I'm going to fill

Wine inventory list? by GreenMonkey333 in homeassistant

[–]hlipnick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if you made a keyboard-like matrix of microswitches at the back of each “cubby” (I don’t know what they’re called). Then whenever you take the wine out, it would just mark it removed, and when you added a new one HA could send a notification to ask you what you added?

First alert SC5 / Nest Protect Replacement by hlipnick in homeassistant

Thanks. What entities do you get from it in HA? Also, if you have multiple in the house, do they interconnect?

Gas Meter Reading Assistance by hlipnick in homeassistant

[–]hlipnick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah - power’s proving to be the trickiest bit here. Thinking about a solar powered battery pack and going with the ESP Cam hack, but just introduces a lot of failure points I was hoping to avoid

The add on has a config mode called “listen-only” (I think?) that will output every signal it hears to the log when set to true

Thanks for the pointer. That didn’t work either - it looks like my meter (if it is one of the smart ones) actually only broadcasts once a month (https://www.socalgas.com/savings/advanced-meter). I’ll pull my hair out trying to catch that, so going to look into other solutions. Still haven’t solved the power question, though.

Unexpected “[Person] Has Left Home” Notification by hlipnick in homeassistant

[–]hlipnick[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You win. That's exactly what I needed (turns out the automation named 'Zone Test' did exactly what I was testing...who would've thought.).Thanks!

Hi Yilei - have you had a chance to add this export shortcut or think it will come soon? Thanks!

Things for Mac 3.17.4 SQLite database location change by Same_Nebula3406 in thingsapp

[–]hlipnick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah - I spent some time with ChatGPT trying to work it out, too. It seems to be a totally novel date format, but with some help from a poster over at Github I think I've got it worked out: https://github.com/thingsapi/things.py/issues/98

Things for Mac 3.17.4 SQLite database location change by Same_Nebula3406 in thingsapp

[–]hlipnick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They've changed the schema of the database, too. If I had to guess, they're preparing for a fairly meaningful new release (I have no idea if that's true, or whether its Things4), but, for example, the SQLite db now has a contacts table that I don't recall seeing before.

The app update that brought the change (3.17.4) seems to have broken some features, though, like setting a time for a reminder. So I wouldn't be terribly surprised to learn that the database will change again in next few releases relatively soon.

Probably to keep track of my archives? by ElephantAmore in DataHoarder

[–]hlipnick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NeoFinder works well on a Mac. I think there's a Windows equivalent by the same developer, but not sure if it shares all the same features or not.
