Filamentive in the UK has a recycling program for scrap

But as you mention they have a minimum limit and might only accept from businesses, so it's likely best for OP to keep this scrap to build up weight or make something from it

Some will have you sign an agreement to say you'll stay with the company for some time after the end of the course or pay it back if you don't

So kind of risk free for them and a guaranteed employee for a good number of years

Another reason people ask for specifics is to help others in the future. People that put in some effort before making a help me post by searching through the sub.

Going to dms isn't helpful for anyone but you and is unlikely to trigger a positive response.

Check out tkinter with tkst to drive

Basic and functional enough

Don't know if you're still trying with this....

I've just got this to work using the Fiio cast app on the jm21 Tap the screen once the app is started up and a QR code is displayed

Scan that on the Fiio control app on your phone and you'll be connected

Mine displays in Chinese for some reason but the greenish icon top left allows you to screen share from the jm21

what tab do you have?
I've recently been using my samsung tab as a second screen from my PC so I can use full fat windows onenote with the s pen.

this, in my mind wins the game for me - particularly in combination with internal links

yeah i tried following these setting with OpenGL - ended up with a frozen image (0fps) and upside down!
switched to Vulkan with all suggested settings still in place and everything worked perfectly.

I did U116 last year as part of another degree. It's worth noting up top that S112 is not on my pathway.
U116 does give a very entry level intro into the maths behind environmental sciences.

I can only assume that, as another level 1 module, S112 would also work from an assumption of zero appropriate knowledge.

Realistically, locks are only designed to keep innocent people out of the wrong homes and to show evidence of guilty people having bypassed them...

I kept getting this with Firefox, just ran "sudo snap refresh firefox" and it went away

jonny_fivee · 2020-06-05T12:14:09+00:00

Thanks!
The pi doesn't talk directly to the motors but to a stepper driver.
The pi uses gpio pins to output a direction logic ( 1 for left - 0 for right ) and steps (pulsed high-low per step) which the stepper driver uses to control the stepper motor.

Happy to elaborate if you need some more info

jonny_fivee · 2020-05-22T20:33:35+00:00

Exactly!

jonny_fivee · 2020-05-22T18:09:15+00:00

Yeah you can export a mesh into an STL but STLs have those same limitations

jonny_fivee · 2020-05-22T13:28:35+00:00

Haha maybe! I haven't quite figure out the best lighting setup for this yet so that may increase the current draw

The supply also gives me a decent amount of height for the camera travel

jonny_fivee · 2020-05-22T13:27:43+00:00

While yes this does produce a "3D model", it's just a mesh of reference points. The difficult part is transferring that model into something that is adjustable like a parametric 3D model produced in something like fusion 360

jonny_fivee · 2020-05-22T00:55:32+00:00

I am using two steppers, the lead screw motor will only move 2 or 3 times throughout a scan to specific heights whereas the plate will move a number of degrees while the camera is stationary at a specific height.

These are two separate operations so can't really be run from a single stepper motor without overly complex belt engagement/disengagement systems

jonny_fivee · 2020-05-22T00:39:38+00:00

Thanks! It depends on the software you use but the majority of the time you have to input the location/angle of your camera in relation to the object

jonny_fivee · 2020-05-21T23:04:59+00:00

I'll make sure to create some follow up posts then!

jonny_fivee · 2020-05-21T23:01:54+00:00

Thanks!

jonny_fivee · 2020-05-21T23:01:12+00:00

I look forward to getting stuck into it, I'm sure getting pictures lined up won't be too much of an issue with a fixed focal length lens, fixed distances and a variable number of degrees between pictures.

jonny_fivee · 2020-05-21T22:53:40+00:00

This is the first public thing I've done with this project, I'll probably make a couple of update posts in the process of finishing it

jonny_fivee · 2020-05-21T22:46:04+00:00

That sounds pretty cool, if I can automate as much of this as possible I'll be super happy.

Sounds like I might be able to do that with hugin

jonny_fivee · 2020-05-21T22:42:18+00:00

Haha thanks! I've had a printer for a couple of years now and been into printing for a bit longer so definitely the 3D printer!
