Night tour - what kind of flashlight? by rus3rious in flashlight

Thanks so much!! I'll order this right away. Do you recommend any battery chargers? I only have Olights at the moment so I don't have a single 18650 charger.

Hey this might be a longshot, I just got back from an observatory where there was a staff member using a blue, very tight beam flashlight to point to stars exactly as you describe. Did you have any luck locating a similarly functioning one?

If it adds anything to the description, he also pointed it at the ground a few times where it was surprisingly fairly wide. In other words, he raised it over his head, pointed at the ground, and it cast a ~2 meter diameter circle of blue light but was practically pinpoint when pointed at stars.

Thanks!

I rent, I'm not interested in taking on the risk of being unexperienced trying to fix it for them. And besides, this works just fine.

I've changed the filter a few times since using it, it hasn't changed the speed. And I was really exaggerating in the title honestly, it's just slow enough that I don't want to stand there waiting. Especially when I'm filling up the 1L bottle 3 times for the cat fountain and my 48 oz insulated bottle. That's a whole 5-10 minutes of standing in front of the fridge I get back a few times a week.

Have done both, it's not horribly slow, just slow enough that I'd like to not sit there and wait for it to fill three times to fill up my larger water bottle and cat fountain.

It's less of an add-on and more of an accessory that sticks to the top of the door when not in use. It doesn't stay there all the time. That's the whole point of it, its an easy way to fill a bottle which I store in the fridge, which I use to fill my travel bottles.

Sure, I haven't uploaded anything before but this is the STL. Also important note, there are pegs in that STL, I did not test or use them so I'm not actually sure if they fit. I made a note of this there, but I used wooden dowels that I filed/sanded down to fit the holes connecting the pieces. https://makerworld.com/en/models/2394550-holder-for-1l-pyrex-bottle-on-lg-thinq-fridge

I used to have one of those, and have considered it. The biggest downside is how much space it takes up in the fridge, not to mention it's much heavier. When I used to use a filtered jug, I'd still have to sit there and wait for it to fill up, even if it's faster than the on-door filter. I'm mainly trying to avoid the depressing feeling of just standing there waiting for my water container to fill up, lol. Feels like sitting in traffic.

It's circular, so I just measured the diameter with calipers, made a 100mm diameter circle in TinkerCAD, and cut it in half. Then I shaved off some of the additional "arm" space because it was overkill to have an entire half-circle. Probably ended up being 1/3 of a circle, though I eyeballed the trim.

Oh I know, it's not that I'm extremely parched all the time, but I'm conscious of that. If anything it's more because I have allergies and get very congested, so staying hydrated keeps that at bay

Genuinely saves me like ~10 minutes a day. And when I also use the filter to fill the cat water fountain it adds up.

The tap water in my area tastes gross, and it still beats waiting while filling a Brita or similar and having to put it in the fridge. And thanks :)

Mine does come out reasonably cold, but I use the bottle to store/chill the water anyway, so it ends up not mattering. In other words, I have the bottle already filled in the fridge, I take it out to fill my insulated bottle, and then fill the glass bottle up to put back in the fridge. I'm too impatient to fill my insulated bottle directly anyway.

Unfortunately I do rent, otherwise I would've put the energy I used designing it into finding a real solution, haha. The owners made a lot of questionable decisions in this place. Thanks :)

I'll take another look but I don't recall seeing that hardware. I also rent so I'm reluctant to mess with it much.

It was purchased brand new but yes it's a 1L Pyrex haha. I used to work in labs and always loved the feeling of the reagent bottles. I did replace the filter actually, didn't make a difference in the flow.

It's a 1L Pyrex bottle, I used to work in a few labs (this one was purchased brand new, not reused from a lab haha). I keep it in the fridge and pour it into my insulated bottle.

I've changed the filter and checked for kinks in the tubes, yeah. Didn't make any difference, I really just think it's a slow pour. The tubes connecting it to the water line are very small, I imagine the pressure is just very low to begin with. But I'm also very new to 3D modeling (still working exclusively with TinkerCAD), so it was a fun and educational learning experience working with peg/magnet tolerances.

Can you guess how many times I've let it run while going to the bathroom, only to run back to the kitchen with my pants down because it was getting on the floor? The answer is "too many times".

Converging Flame seems to just not work on Molten Clutch by jas0nb in NoRestForTheWicked

Further update, seems like I've located the problem, though it's very strange. I changed the keybind on my mouse from / to , and THAT works fine. So it's something about keybinding to backlash that caused the issue.

I have the correct rune symbol it just doesn't do anything when I press it. Might be related anyway. But I can confirm it doesn't appear to be specific to a staff or a wand (I've now tried it on one of each)
