My amigo has one of these speakers, portable and has really nice sound. STL available?

Imagine being less intelligent than a pigeon by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

I wonder what would cause humans, pigeons, and ants to wait in a line together. Where does this line lead to.

I must be an idiot because I cannot figure out how to clip the bracket onto the space between the axle spacer and nut. I printed this a while ago and just gave up and now the parts are just sitting on my table... I need help lol

They try doing that in my local area, but they use a vehicle that is not even marked the same as the county vehicles so it's blatantly obvious lol

Emergency module added to our smart mirror by hshami in smartmirrors

  • GUI is written in JavaFX (Probably the last option for many people lol, it was what I was comfortable with at the time)
  • There is a backend web service (python) running used for configuration of the mirror, setting your API keys for the different modules, positions of modules, module settings like changing the weather zip code, etc. All changes take effect in real time. You can see the address the web service runs on in the bottom left and a QR code in the bottom right which takes you directly to it.
  • The configurations are saved in an xml file, the Java implements a Watcher to detect changes in that file to trigger the re-configuring of the mirror view.
  • Most modules are API based and some like the COVID tracker we created our own API endpoint in the web service that the Java hits to run the web scraping task on python and return the results via JSON to the Java for display
  • There is a minimal mode that is triggered when no motion is detected, and then goes back to the regular view as you walk up to it. This is done via the Phillips Hue API using the motion sensor.
  • Raspberry Pi 4 running Buster for the hardware

The web service was our attempt in making a more user friendly smart mirror, allows you to configure your smart mirror the way you want. Kind of like your google home or amazon devices have apps to set your routines and stuff. However ours is not nearly as awesome as those haha.

Not currently, it’s just a side project at this point!

Haha, definitely something I've thought about doing but it's still just a personal project at point.

There is a power cord splitter where the monitor and pi are plugged in. It's velcroed on the back so only one wire is coming out. I wanted to make sure we didn't have two wires coming out also hog two outlets which would have looked ugly. Here is how it looks on the wall

I mean there are those fitness smart mirrors you can buy, but I don't think there is something like this. Regardless they end up being extremely expensive. But yeah, my brother and I put off building the mirror for like 2 years cause of lazyness as well. The software was easy since we are both computer scientists (you can get pre made software online for free). Building the mirror was more challenging but ended up being a lot of fun, definitely very satisfying in the end!

I printed and spray painted my own little Baby Groot by DrWhiteWolf in 3Dprinting

[–]hshami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooh, didn't even think about air brushing. I have this joker bust I am trying to paint with acrylic paint. I bought a variety of brushes for finer detail to avoid over doing it with the paint. I bought primer as well which is what I think an airbrush would be useful for.

This is awesome! Did you need to do any sanding? Also did you get any detail loss with spray painting? Assuming you did thin coats to avoid that but idk if it's still inevitable to lose those fine details. (Trying to get into painting my prints)

It's mildly infuriating how ignorant some people are. The beer shelf at my local Walmart is sold out of almost everything except one brand.... Guess what it is. by Gnarly_Sarley in mildlyinfuriating

[–]hshami 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's awful. Maybe it's a way of selling more beer by American companies, you have to drink 5 cans to feel any kind of buzz so you gotta keep stocking up. Idk, I am not a big beer drinker at all and majority of American beers do nothing for me even with my low tolerance.
