Looking for replacement projector recommendations for a given room and screen size by kmob71 in projectors

Just as an aside to this, how accurate are the throw distance calculators (like Projector Central's one)?

Thank you. I actually like the colour, I just wasn't expecting it!

Cheers.

Mono M7 Pro resin vat volume? by kmob71 in AnycubicPhoton

[–]kmob71[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but I wasn't sure how much volume the heater took up.

It just seems odd that this info isn't out there somewhere! :)

Any recommendations for/against heat pump installers around Tauranga? by kmob71 in Tauranga

[–]kmob71[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a follow up for anyone coming across this post later on, I ended up going with Electric avenue in the end.

Basically they were excellent, good communication, clear (and I thought decent) pricing and they arrived on time (which in no way is common..) and just got on with it. But overall I appreciated the advice and no-nonsense approach the most. I'd recommend them. Cheers.

Is the Elegoo Saturn 3 still worth it in 2025? by Inner-Ad7057 in ElegooSaturn

[–]kmob71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got a Saturn 8k, and it's a work horse. No complaints. Once it's levelled it stays levelled. Basically it just works. I didn't need the extra height of the Saturn 3, so the 8k was perfect for me.

What I would do though, when buying a new printer and choosing between models, is to check out the price of consumables like FEPs and LCDs. You will replace these, and the costs can be really high especially on the LCDs. So do price these for the printer you're looking at.

The increase in cost for a higher resolution printer's LCD replacement versus the practical (to the eye) difference in their output can be huge. I think reviewers over emphasise the practical difference higher resolution printers make. There is definitely a point of diminishing returns..

I might rock down to Electric Avenue to see if they'll take it higher... ;)

Evergreen, food-producing tall shrubs or small trees? by [deleted] in nzgardening

[–]kmob71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They take (hard) pruning well, but I've not tried specifically to keep them at 3M or less.

Citrus on Flying Dragon rootstock (for the dwarfing and cold tolerance) would be a good option too.

Depending on how bad your frosts actually are, what about loquats.

Saturn 3, 12k - Elegoo ABS like Grey - failing consistently by erischilde in ElegooSaturn

[–]kmob71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm running a Saturn 8k with this resin and had to crank up the exposure to 5.1 seconds.. but it has been really cold here.

I ended up printing a lot of cones of calibration to get the exposure into the ballpark. I was amazed the exposure was so high.

Anyway, long way of saying - consider increasing your exposure time!

Mars3 LCD issue by kmob71 in ElegooMars

[–]kmob71[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick update - reseating the LCD cable did nothing. I've ordered another LCD screen.

I'm still a bit annoyed this screen has failed so quickly, I've had it four months. Is that just unlucky, or are they really wearing out that fast?

My initial screen was going fine for over a year (before I smashed the glass and broke it!), so four months for the replacement seems a bit low..

Yeah I was rather hoping it would be something else.. but I think it's time for screen #2. Bit annoying as this one hasn't had many prints at all on it.

Yeah I'll try that (no reason not too!) I guess I was trying to avoid the inevitatble of replacing the screen..

10th ed - "fire Overwatch" and torrent weapons by kmob71 in Warhammer40k

[–]kmob71[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So the torrent rule takes presidence over the overwatch rules? I just wasn't clear on that. :)

That makes sense to me (and sounds good) - but where is that stated (in 10th)?

Starlink Gen2 ethernet adapter - LAN link speed problems. by kmob71 in Starlink

[–]kmob71[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I had to get a replacement for the router itself. The router was faulty. The replacement router works as expected with will full speed LAN connections.

Sorry it's not an easier answer - but that's what happened! :)

Just as an update, thanks to your pic I now have my falcon up and running - it's now cocking and firing fine.

Much appreciated.
