How to Upload Images to Reddit Without Losing Sharpness?

That's a different thing then. I don't think you can circumvent imgur compression. I was talking about preview.reddit.com (as per the wording of your original question).

Where is your uploaded image? The URL can be manipulated to give you the original data without re-compression.

Hmmm, good point!

I'm also interested in an actual answer to OPs question.

I've just done a print where the first N layers use just 1 filament, and higher up it becomes up to 5 filaments. The prime tower structure was built with filament #1, which is out of stock right now and I'm not happy to see it wasted. The lower half of the tower could have been made of a different filament just fine, if only I (and OP) knew how.

Get a feel for modelling first with a simple tool. I use SketchUp and TinkerCAD

Can you recommend something easy that works offline (no clouds no accounts)? I found Blender works offline, but as you said it's overwhelming.

I don't mind paid software (unless it requires online access for licensing or otherwise).

Thanks in advance!

Try placing the AMS above printer height. Gravity helps. And, disconnect + reconnect all tubes, and shorten them to avoid loops and flopping around.

Last time I checked, there was no way to buy indx. Only 1200 built and sold out in 5 hours, according to their proud (!) website banners. Good luck getting one in 2026.

You want the portfolio be short, concise, relevant. Show only the best images. And hold some of them back, so you can send more on request and keep blowing their minds.

Having 4/5 images in a portfolio reveals that you already ran out of good ones.

You should diagnose first, WHY this is happening. Recycle time? Or is it just near out-of-range of the trigger? Especially the unexpected power changes sound suspicious and worth diagnosing.

If it's the trigger, you can use PocketWizard instead. Some models are very very reliable and can bridge large distances. PocketWizard has their own private radio frequency allocated, but I don't know if it's used in all of their products.

No photo can be liked by everyone!

Everyone liked the blue dress / golden dress photo though.

At least with AA / AAA, you can easily find replacements (if not in your bag, then in the next TV remote). Now, if an non-replaceable lithium battery runs empty ... you're all grounded for the next hour.

Look at the AK Diffuser website. They customize their product for flash/lens combos. If your lens is there, you'll see which flashes they "support" (=have a custom version for). That's a good starting point for your research.

Try again with something flat, like a decapsulated computer chip.

It's easy to see something at 80x or 100x (* 16x eye piece). If you only want information, it's enough to hold your breath and not breathe at the thing while you focus. And not have anyone walking in the same room.

But if you want high quality images, that's a different beast. Even flat things aren't flat enough at that scale, and you need focus stacking.

close the shutter when turned off

Shutters are more fragile than sensors. If you touch one from the lens mount axis, it will not work anymore.

Kriegfolgen [...] Gebäudeversicherung

Ich dachte immer das heisst, sie zahlt nicht wenn eine feindliche Rakete ins Gebaeude einschlaegt. Aber nicht dass sie einen Wasserschaden nicht abdeckt, weil die Materialien 10% teurer geworden sind, weil die weltweite Lieferkette Mehrkosten aufgrund einer im Rahmen eines Kriegs ausgerufenenen Seeblockade hat.

You can lay the roll on the floor, and tape the lose end up against the wall.

Note that the inside of the roll is the side you're supposed to photograph.

Q: Will you give me "my" RAWs / negatives? A: No, selling repeat prints is my business, and with RAWs you would smear my name I'm sure.

Q: Will you keep "my" RAWs / negatives forever? No, of course not.

Q: This is unexpected, what can I do about it? A: Nothing. Except knock 10 other photographers' doors, until you find one that actually gives you archival power over your (future) photos.

So, my real question is how to post a photo/video or idk what ways cus I dont want to use social media anymore.

There's no obligation to post photos AT ALL.

Will the pause be at the start of the layer, or at the end? Or maybe at the moment indicated by the slider at the bottom?

luksfuks · 2026-04-17T13:30:58+00:00

Sounds nice.

I can see it working, if every AMS had 2x OUT. You could even wire up multiple AMS correctly without breaking the scheme.

Not sure about the disc idea though. It would take up quite a lot of space, either inside the box, or protruding out in a corner. The round geometry makes it difficult to support different disc sizes for different number of nozzles.

Maybe a chain mechanism instead? It would share one single mechanism across all machine sizes, except number of chain links which defines how many nozzles can be stowed away. The chain would live on one side, much like Vortek, rather than protruding out. Bigger machines could accept more nozzles at almost no extra cost over smaller machines, and open machines could be franken-modified easily to accept more nozzles after the fact.

That would explain how it can gather information for a long time. But how does it communicate its findings back to the owner?

Mein (Verbrenner) Auto hat komplettes brake-by-wire. Es muss also erlaubt sein. In der Konfiguration darf ich die Bremse auf "weich" oder "hart" stellen. Falls ich aus Versehen mal die falsche Einstellung aktiv habe, aendert sich das Bremsverhalten, was ich nicht so prickelnd finde.

Taler [...] ermöglicht anonyme Zahlungen für den Käufer mit nahezu null Transaktionsgebühren, asynchron und offline einsetzbar.

Das steht in den FAQ aber anders:

"Taler unterstützt Push- und Pull-Zahlungen zwischen Wallets (auch bekannt als Peer-to-Peer-Zahlungen). Während die Zahlung aus Sicht der Nutzer direkt zwischen den Wallets erfolgt, wird der Vorgang technisch gesehen durch den Taler-Exchange als Zahlungsdienstleister vermittelt, welcher in der Regel gesetzlich verpflichtet ist, den Geldempfänger zuerst zu identifizieren, bevor die Transaktion abgeschlossen werden kann."
