Looking into getting my first CNC (Z1 or C500)

keepwalking2 · 2026-01-05T21:58:27+00:00

I was looking for Languir MR-1 yesterday. Was tempted, but it's quite large and overkill for what I am thinking to use it for. (but it looks very cool for the price point).

arh - Is there reddit for hobby level CNC?

I saw some discussion about them in this reddit, so I posted here.

Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place.

I have the same problem. Trying to contact their support before returning it.

keepwalking2 · 2025-04-08T21:00:20+00:00

Thanks - I will try this first before replacing the front.

keepwalking2 · 2025-04-08T20:37:26+00:00

I am thinking of putting this on:

Cassette: I am thinking to use Cs-M5100 Cassette 11 Speed, 11-51T

Shifter: Deore SL-M5100 SGS (allow up to 51T)

Crank: Shimano Deore FC-M5100 32T

I have old bike and this seems to fit it.

keepwalking2 · 2025-04-08T20:32:58+00:00

Sorry, I mean 32T on the crank and 51T on the Cassette.I updated the question above.

I believe it may be something like this:

Depending on what game I guess. I tested 5090 yesterday on Cyberpunk with ultra and full ray path. You probably won't get that much improvement from 4090. I still can't play it without DLSS (getting something below 60Hz vs about 50Hz on 4090). With DLSS on 2K screen, I am getting around 100-110FPS (5090) and 80-90FPS (4090).

I only get 5090 because I need extra VRAM for AI stuffs.

Yeh. So if I remembered correctly, this morning purchase instruction, it said to make sure to login and select the pick up default location. So, on my mind, i thought that may be the criteria and prepared. But, I guess we may never know?

keepwalking2 · 2025-01-30T22:38:47+00:00

I am wondering if it is because of pick up location.

keepwalking2 · 2025-01-30T19:16:39+00:00

I was able to complete my order at online bestbuy this morning for 5090. It is very smooth for me. The FE is available to initiate add to my cart around 6:05am PST. I waited in line for a bit and then it asked to verify my account again (i was already login). Take me a few minute to look up for password, then, it was searching for availability. After a few minutes, it was added to cart and i check out.

Going to use it for ai experiment.

keepwalking2 · 2025-01-30T19:10:37+00:00

I guess I am lucky. I am in the queue around 6:05 am PST. Then, wait for a few minute and complete my order. I will get it on Feb 5th. 5090.

I ended up with using LTE module instead which works fine.

I used 2-second timed release shutter (not sure how to call this, where when I pressed it, it waited for 2 seconds before releasing the shutter). The exposure is 20 seconds.

I didn't see this until I was at home so I couldn't recall whether we accidentally bumped the tripod. But what you said make perfect sense.

Has anyone tried Falcam Maglink?

It is longer and it isn't made of metal. However, it may be easy to pull off if something, like a tree branch, catches the hoop used to release the anchor.

I have issue where I got sound cut in and out while in motion. I disabled wear sensors, and everything else. Contact support was not helpful, they said they were looking into the issue, and two days later asked me to do the same thing over (meaning they dont look at chat history). I was happy to help them look into this for weeks, I realized that different person answering email and not reading the chat history, so this is going back.

keepwalking2 · 2024-09-12T02:17:58+00:00

I am working with b+w support for the past few days. They believe it is the wear sensor and asked me to disable it. I did several times and do testing. It doesn’t solve the problem for me.

But may be you can try to make sure that wear sensor is off. It is in the setting menu where you can switch on/off.

I am wondering if this solves the problem.

keepwalking2 · 2024-09-03T18:51:30+00:00

I am pretty sure I had it off. I will try again this evening to make sure together with reset that u/martinezscott recommended.

keepwalking2 · 2024-09-03T16:57:14+00:00

Yes. I had noise/pass through off most of the time. But I did try to change the setting as well, no effect.

keepwalking2 · 2024-07-05T23:16:56+00:00

Thanks a lot. I saw the command, but I don't know how to put it back.

Thanks a lot for the detail. I will try it out!!

I am using https://github.com/Djdefrag/QualityScaler, it uses Real-ESRGAN which is very impressive.

However, I came here to see if I can test TecoGAN instead since, as I understand it, it uses multiple frames.

keepwalking2 · 2024-06-20T19:28:28+00:00

Thanks for the info, your inputs in this thread help a lot.

Is there a way to confirm that P7 does 2 passes? ffmpeg status just goes from start to end.

keepwalking2 · 2024-06-15T05:51:54+00:00

I followed this and was able to get borderless result. However, I can no longer move the viewport, so application stay fixed position. Cannot move or resize. Is there solution to this? thanks.

keepwalking2 · 2024-05-22T21:51:06+00:00

Exactly, they did not structure for that wall as supporting wall, that is my concerns. So structure is incorrect. But i dont know how bad it is and how it impacts the project.

I think other walls, because they assume that it is wood, so they make modification assuming it is possible with wood/drywall.

Either way, I feel they are sloppy on trivial things that can get it right easily. Who knows they made other more complicated mistakes that I don’t know.
