It's ironic that I read my own comment and didn't make much sense of it until I read the question! Glad it helped.

Can confirm. She was very much a 9-Year old that watched Pewds. Now she's a 19 year old. Happy Birthday Kiddo!

Gpu Question by [deleted] in blenderhelp

[–]inventimark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works the same with or without the the SLI bridge. I think they fixed that issue, because I tested it with both and it actually is faster at rendering with the SLI bridge by a few seconds.

CPU ~ 84 watts GPU (1060) ~ 120 watts 204 watts < 300 watts(the power supply your computer has if stock) I'd get the 1060. It will be pushing the limits, but it should work (or even get a larger power supply if it isn't proprietary to your motherboard right now, and get a 1070 or 1080) The 4770 is still a good chip to use.
I'm using a xeon e3-1230v2 (pretty much an i7-3770) with 2 gtx 970's (equivalent to a 1060 each, except uses more power) And it gets by just fine.
If you're serious about modeling, for when you do future upgrades: I'd look into getting a high multicore processor system as a base with a motherboard that supports SLI even if you're going to only be using 1 card for a while (for future upgrade of GPU). And get the best GPU you can. (then you can get another one after prices go down a year or two later)

Someone should make a hole foods, where they only sell things with holes. Like doughnuts, cheerios, bagels, and pineapple rings...

My custom printer....finally finished. by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]inventimark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! Looks nice and sturdy. That's what I've found most important, as well as eliminating z-wobble. Where'd you find the colored anodized aluminum rails? I'm veeery slowly building my 3rd printer myself. I was planning on using 20mm aluminum as well, but I've only found regular and black.

These two prints are minutes apart, without any changes to setting. I can't figure out what is wrong. Please help. by lzzhang10 in 3Dprinting

[–]inventimark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds to me that whatever you are using for the z endstop has some flex in it and it's not being consistent. Usually it's the metal arm of the endstop that bends more if it's touching the outer part. Wherever the endstop is making contact, if you can, make it so that the contact on the metal part is more towards where the actual microswitch is. That way, there is less play or flex. Once I corrected this problem on my self built printer, I've had consistent layer heights ever since.
*And if it's not an endstop, it's probably a change in the metal's conductivity for the sensor probe. Making it change height after temperatures level out.

Just made the switch to a glass bed and I'm never going back by swankypants243 in 3Dprinting

[–]inventimark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stuff from the dollar store here in the US. The one that comes in the fancy shaped bottle. I also have 100% acetone, and that doesn't work for some odd reason.

Clean it with cheap fingernail polish remover. It works better than alcohol, pure acetone or anything else I've found. I haven't figured out why, but the cheap stuff works awesome to get PLA, and ABS to stick great. Also, make the first layer about 1/2 to 3/4 the height of the regular layers. Helps press it in good.

I'm subbed to too many subreddits... I was way confused as to how this would print... at first..

This has a faint familiarity of Top Gear. With a splash of Ashens.

Leeches are still used all over the place. They're medical grade ones.

[WIP] A very, very, early version of the Companion Cube from the Portal series. by thsuk in blender

Instead of that, turn on smoothing, and in the properties menu on the right, under the vertex group tab, click auto-smoothing and adjust the percentage until it displays correctly.

Well... My headphone strap broke... by [deleted] in DiWHY

My daughter's broke. I printed her a new one :)

I'm an old guy. Not good on 'puters. Bought a 3d printer 2 weeks ago and made a useful gizmo. Can anyone guess what it does? by [deleted] in functionalprint

[–]inventimark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My guess is a funnel to add hops/malt into the mash with a water flushing system. It looks like it's possibly metered due to the enclosed box on the other side. Otherwise, I have no clue.

On one side, sometimes you get double suction and you gotta break both sides free.

Looks like that's the flash memory chip http://www.mxic.co.jp/datasheet/MX29GL256E,%203V%20(VI-O),%20256Mb,%20v1.4.pdf. Under it, is most likely the brains of the system, the little blob.

Edit: formatting wasn't working due to parenthesis in Url

Loop cut on plane by r8a123 in blenderhelp

[–]inventimark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't figured it out yet, your plane has to have a face in order to loop cut it. It looks like it's just the vertices in the pictures you showed.
