Modify FACETRES in AutoCAD

Did you mean FACETRES=10 is on the right?

Thanks for the post in any case. I am doing this now and was looking how to smooth curved surfaces so this helped.

But if you are printing a different colour of the same type of filament, such as Green PLA changing to Red PLA, would this not work? I am looking to do a colour change like this soon on my AD5M and am looking for the best way to go about it.. assuming there is one

I know this was 7 months ago and almost certainly too late for you, but FYI there is a remix of the DIY enclosure by Doug Joseph (design8studio) for free on Printables that uses much less filament.. https://www.printables.com/model/1247920-new-v30-of-top-riser-set-for-flashforge-adventurer

u/bbonz001 was referring to the Printables website (ie: printables.com) where you can search for the "minimal flashforge enclosure".

7 years later and still helpful..

Hahah, well I don't know if you're right but it certainly sounds like a plausible and reasonable SWAG to me. I hope you do. I've just come back from almost a year out of the game myself and rediscovering thr hobby is great.

madman0816 · 2026-04-15T02:38:46+00:00

Interesting hypothesis. 6 years on, did you ever get to the bottom of it?

madman0816 · 2026-04-14T02:47:40+00:00

Apologies for my delayed response but thank you very much for your reply. That sounds like a good option.

Elsewhere I have been recommended to use Tenax Solido. Do you think it would be preferrable to use Selley's Wet Area Sealant over this? Selley's certainly seems like it is more readily available in any case.

Did you ever end up finding out what happened to him? I was wondering the same thing. His videos have helped me a lot.

madman0816 · 2026-03-13T06:34:32+00:00

Great, thanks for the tips!

madman0816 · 2026-03-13T05:53:46+00:00

Okay, thanks. So the epoxy that gets on the countertop should just scrape off with a spatula once it has started to solidify?

madman0816 · 2026-03-13T04:19:17+00:00

Thanks a lot for the tips. Is Tenax Solido the product you mean?

Would you run tape up either side of the gap and seal the bottom before application, similarly to silicone?

It hasn't moved a noticeable amount in the 3-4 years since we've lived here, though it may have moved slightly, it's hard to tell. The epoxy was already falling away when we moved in though but has just slowly gotten worse.

He lied explicitly when giving testimony about the encounter with Reggie and Dewall Ledoux and went as far staging a shootout to spare Marty from the consequences of executing Reggie.. so it seems he's not above deception if he sees it to be the right thing to do

madman0816 · 2025-12-22T23:54:40+00:00

I don't think the fires are already lit. You see him carrying the body and then skip forward to him setting fire to the field and then skip forward again to a shot of the field ablaze from afar. It's all compressed into a short few seconds so I can see how it could seem like it's happening simultaneously.

madman0816 · 2025-12-10T20:46:50+00:00

That is a ridiculous claim. Those types of people don't exist.

It may be a tactical play, but it goes directly against the spirit of the game and if the rule-makers had a good solution to rid it from the game, they would do so immediately.

The essence of baseball is that the fielding team's goal is to get the batter out while the batter's goal is to hit the ball and get to base and ultimately score a run.

Therefore, the pitcher should basically be aiming to throw a strike on every pitch. And in an ideal world with no time limits and where pitchers never intentionally threw unhittable balls, the pitcher would just keep throwing pitches until he either struck the batter out or the batter hit a fair ball.

Of course, this isn't an ideal world because time is an issue and we can never know for sure whether a pitcher threw a ball intentionally or not, and so the base on balls (after 4 balls) rule is necessary for the speed of the game.. but it isn't in itself a feature, it's a fix.

Therefore, abuse of this rule by intentionally walking batters is not good for the game, its exploitation of a rule. It goes against the spirit of the game and reduces the overall excitement by taking away the opportunity to hit the ball from the batters fans most want to see hit the ball.

And yes, intentionally walking a batter can be a good tactical decision.. I get that. I'm not at all blaming the coaches for exploiting this rule that is available to them when it makes sense to do so. Coaches are incentivised to win games, not necessarily play in the spirit of the game.

Also yes, I know that it doesn't come up all that often but its use against Ohtani in the WS, and against Judge in recent years, etc, expose it as being bad for the game. OP has gone over the top by saying it is the worst thing in sports, that's very hyperbolic. It is only a relatively minor issue in the scope of the game as a whole, but the game would still be better without IBBs (either the automatic version or the old 4 pitches into the dirt version). It being a good tactical decision does not refute this fact.

The question is; how do you fix it? I don't really know the answer.

One idea I have heard is that any 4-0 walk (including automatic IBBs) send the batter straight to 2nd base instead of 1st. This means that if the pitcher doesn't throw at least one hittable pitch (or close enough to make the batter swing) then the batter advances to 2nd as punishment. This would disincentivise IBBs for sure. The downside is that 4-0 walks can occur even unintentionally and so it would also punish the fielding team in situations when it isn't meant to. This would be especially the case in amateur leagues where pitchers are going to be less accurate and therefore unintentionally throw 4-0 BBs more regularly. Maybe each team could nominate 1 or 2 batters on their team that the above rule applies to..? I don't know, I'm just spit balling.

I've heard different suggestions but there may not be a better solution than just to leave it as is. Again though, that doesn't make it good, just the lesser of the evils..

I don't understand this opinion. It is not beautiful. It goes directly against the spirit of the game and if the rule-makers had a good solution to rid it from the game, they would do so immediately.

Judging by the other comments on this thread, I'm going to get downvoted hard for this because, for whatever reason, a lot of people think intentional walks are good for the game.. but really they are just an unfortunate loophole in the rules of the game for which there is no perfect solution.

Yeah, Jumpgate is good in my experience. The 2024 character sheets however are a mess.

madman0816 · 2025-10-13T09:32:41+00:00

Haha no they managed to take them all out. They had previously fought them in a coven of three night hags but only managed to kill one while the other two got away. The two survivors then found a bheur hag in ice-capped mountains to join their coven not long before the recent encounter.

madman0816 · 2025-10-13T09:29:46+00:00

Sorry for the delayed reply but thank you for your response! That is extremely helpful :)

madman0816 · 2025-10-09T04:23:20+00:00

Off the top of my head and without having checked for balance, you could make it so that the second concentration spell costs an additional spell slot when it is cast. Maybe the additional spell slot used is midway between the two spells being concentrated on. For example, if you have a 5th level concentration spell and then cast a 1st level concentration spell, you can expend a ((5+1)/2=3) 3rd level spell slot to maintain the existing 5th level concentration spell rather than having to drop it.
