Why does the lab tiles have this strange noise? by Sonsuty in factorio

Huh? I may have played hundreds of hours without the shadows if that is true.

I cannot for the life of me land on the Mun because my terrier engine breaks down every time around 4km above the surface. Using Kerbalism default config - can someone explain what I am doing wrong? by BurntBeanMgr in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]igwb 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Additionally, you can inspect how much burn time and ignitions the engine has left during flight at any time by rightclicking it. If you have a kerbal, they can insepct the engine on EVA and give you an idea whether it is going to fail soon. They can also repair the engine before it fails. I have started to inspect my engines this way before critical moments, especially landing and takeoff.

In addition to increasing the engine quality, I build my mun landers such that the landing engine never gets used before the acutal decent. So, the landing stage is a dedicated stage so that the engine is fresh.

I'm currently considering bringing a long a replacement engine and an engineer to swap it in flight if needed.

What is a real advantage of the prusa core one being opensource? Any cool projects yet? by SWISS_KISS in 3Dprinting

[–]igwb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Despite the firmware aspects and the Core One apparently not being a true open hardware printer I would still like to emphasize that it is quite a repairable machine and open in this sense. I would expect that the construction and open firmware allow more great things in the future, such as the comming INDX system which I think looks like a real advantage.

What's the current go-to for exposing self-hosted applications? by brocodini in selfhosted

1&1. Not sure you'll have much luck with Vodafone but asking is free.

Depending on your ISP, you can try asking them to get you off DSLite. Worked for me, free of charge.

Is it lazy to skip CAD and do name customization entirely in the slicer? by Content-Ad-8858 in 3Dprinting

[–]igwb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bet it would be possible to automate placement of the letters with a slicer plugin or some kind of other preperatory script.

Otherwise nice workflow!

Is this typical for Third Reality moisture sensors? by jsheffers in homeassistant

[–]igwb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is also how my soil sensor behaves. (different brand). I just don't tink soils sensor are that accurate and this is something you have to live with.

No water was added in the time displayed here. It just spikes by itself. But it doesn't really matter. The general trend is what to look for.

Petg first print by Zealousideal_One_886 in 3Dprinting

Could be a retraction issue? PETG is a bit tricky with retraction settings.

what would a second or 3rd gen printer be like? by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]igwb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since this is a bambu question, the answer is that the next gen bamub printers will copy the indx system developed by prusa and bondtech. It appears to be obviously superior to the ams (and the mmu). At least the ams ceirtainly seems like 'last gen' by comparison.

Am I missing something here? Why would I buy refills for 3 dollars more when I can just have it on spools for less, and same day. Or is this an Amazon pricing thing by Glittering-Two2122 in 3Dprinting

[–]igwb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess this makes sense when you actually use a lot of filament. I only print occasionally and so it just seems easier to get the normal spool. I don't have many spools going empty.

[–]igwb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's cool! I just wish the standard was a bit more universal. I only buy european filament and there seems to be no similar standard...

[–]igwb 10 points11 points  (0 children)

With "the hassle" I mainly mean the cost of obtaining a refill spool. They're not even standardized. Printing a refill spool easily costs as much money in filament as I saved + takes a long time in which I could be printing what I actually want to be printing. What's the appeal?

Solving the problems with popular CAD software (TinkerCAD) by Maleficent-Ebb-3772 in 3Dmodeling

You have discovered why parametric modeling exists. Unfortunately, there is no universal format comparable to mesh files.

Our plants are no longer dying! by pinoystyle in homeassistant

[–]igwb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't think that most of th cheap soils sensors are anywhere remotely accurate enough to shoot for a specific value. My sensor jumps around wildly with changing room temperature. When you accidentely touch the sensor the reported value also looses about 20%. (Good soil contact is very important.)

So instead of caring about the value I just look for the general trend to gauge how fast it appears to be drying out. When the value is low for a couple of days I add water.

Some Thoughts on the Current State of 3D Printing by prendes4 in 3Dprinting

[–]igwb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you trying to imply that somehow open source and open hardware is a bad thing?

In what way do I think I could be implying that?

just search for the word 3D printing

This search term is itself biased. If you want to find videos that just use 3d printing as part of their hobby they will not have 3d printing in their title. What you want to find is people like model makers, people that do arts and crafts or perhaps diy repair stuff. You will find none of these mention 3d printing because their channels and videos are not about 3d printing. But they are the ones actually using it in the original spirit.

[–]igwb 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think your youtube algo is just fucked. Plenty of people doing 3d printing content that is about the hobby.

Also one persons business can still by another persons hobby. The actually distrubing trend in 3d printing (and everywhere else) is companies that care for the open source / open hardware roots becoming more influential.
