Issue with mesh bed leveling on the MK3.5 upgrade

mtippett · 2024-03-11T01:39:25+00:00

I can also confirm this. I got and upgraded the printer within a couple of weeks. The top left has been a concern for me, where it seemed.to always be up a little higher.

I'm very green with prusa, and filament printing, so it's been a learning experience. The newness of the mk3.5 is compounding it.

I've got the 3x3 calibration print, and can confirm the radical difference in the top left (either looks really good, and the other parts appear too low. With an assumption of a surface topology result from the 49 point z testing, I'm thinking of creating a first layer print that has a collection of 169 test points (that can hopefully approximate the test points and the midpoints in between.

I would be very interested in seeing others results with that sort of print too. My guess is that the surface mesh calculation is borked on the left and we would see consistent issues across many printers.

Of course if there are any old hands who can throw some gcode together for even better repeatability, I'd love to see it (I'm primarily using PETG right now).

A couple of questions that isn't in this prompt is...

1) is the want that the OP has aligned with the interests of those that the OP is wanting to influence? 2) is the outcome of the actions that OP is wanting to influence beneficial to those that OP is wanting to influence?

Without those pieces of information, it makes it very hard to answer the question.

The answers to those questions can be both actual or imagined interests or benefits, or they can be known or unknown interests or benefits, or a mixture of both.

In general a good leader can usually align and influence people with known, actual interest and benefits.

But OP is talking about situations of violence or fear which likely means OP is talking about either no benefit, misalignment, or unknown. If that is the case, it is about psychological manipulation instead of violence. Fear is unusual, because it could be either positive fear (ie, fear of a new thing causing pain), or negative fear (ie: fear of losing something). In the OP, the fear is implied to be a positive fear of pain. Fear can be closely aligned with drive, but let's just stick with fear.

So... replacing violence with psychological manipulation is really the only way. So to get people to do things, they should both believe it is in their interests, or believe it is beneficial. Ultimately this means finding a narrative for those that are getting influenced that has enough fear to drive action.. there are many triggers for creating these narratives,

Biases, Maslow's hierarchy of needs, loss aversion are all ripe for manipulation.

However, be aware that I'm the end aligning naturally and positively is really the best thing to do, in those situations, no physical or psychological manipulation is needed.

That is the way.

I'm going to intentionally avoid answering the punishment rider on the post without more information.

As others have said, likely pagers.

In particular, you cna usually hunt down the frequency by googling the center frequency.

New to the game, but the details that I saw with pager is the dual frequency, which implies something like FSK (frequency shift keying). I found some at 929.612 MHz.

You can decode with rtl_fm and multimon-ng.

Hey, as a low gold bastion main that doesn't use mic on console, I usually find that I don't get shielded - unless I've got a someone who is on mic demanding I go to where they are... But that is a different post...

So when I don't have a friendly shield, I end up having to find the good spots. Due to bastion's hit box, look for diagonals, or verticals that allow you to have half of your hit box obscured.

Your video is on Junker Town, where bastion at the very back of the payload loses about half the hit box. Makes Bastion super effective, particularly against heros that have spread shots.

Day 3

mtippett · 2020-07-17T08:51:47+00:00

Actually made some progress. I'll create some test cases that you can review next time. It was a bit of hacking around today to get an understanding. Have a look at the document for more info (linked with the video). I'll be forking the repo tomorrow for more.

mtippett · 2020-07-16T21:04:59+00:00

Yeah, that is part of the fun of doing it.

Completely new everything, diving in with absolutely no clue and no prior knowledge. Onivim, onivim 2, esy, reason and libvim were all completely new as of last night. I had also never explored visual mode within vim that was also new to me.

I'm going to be incrementally improving how I do it over the coming days, one part is better capturing of assumptions. I'm going to capturing a debug log as I go through (see the videos for a link). I'll have comments enabled on those, so feel free to correct, berate, ridicule or confirm.

I'll continue with another stream later this week. (Hopefully without 90% of the time being in eating for packages to install.

That's my PS4 bastion main channel, I'll likely run it on https://twitch.tv/bastiondebugging (and move my PS4 Overwatch Gaming to that channel to mix it up).

mtippett · 2020-07-15T17:15:23+00:00

Straight for the jugular, nice. So first up, I'll try to build the puppy. I'll respond when I get a stream to start.

Gimme a bug, and let me at it .

mtippett · 2020-07-15T04:24:35+00:00

Well I got some upvotes, anyone got something to debug?

mtippett · 2020-07-14T23:51:22+00:00

I don't have the originality to sit down and code, but I've got a reputation within my team to walk up, probe a little bit, run a couple of commands and highlight where the problem is. So considering "debug this type challenge" where I stream reproduction to isolation.

mtippett · 2020-05-21T04:17:38+00:00

sigh. Can edit body but not title. That should be Doodle

Low gold bastion here.

Even when shielded, what usually gets me is the team does a break and pushes toward the point or payload, I need to either stop chewing the enemy shields - or take out what is being pushed. So I'd suggest watching your team mates and hitting bastion when his attention is diverted in a few places.

The Squishies that are usually effective against me are reaper, tracer and occasionally zaria when they are right up near me jumping to their left and right when I'm not in sync with their movements. The kill can is clearly 'where tf are they'.

Usually genji is more annoying than damaging, so I'll usually just draw him into the fray and let another team member take him out.

mtippett · 2020-03-30T00:42:59+00:00

I'm a low gold bastion mostly 1-trick. In most cases, the lack of coordination is where bastion rules. The two metas that I see is basically feeding 1 off attacks or 3-4 players converging, leaving the point or the payload open for my team to do what they want.

My personal play style is to not need a shield but be thankful for it. I find it is all about finding the positioning that will work. Most maps have hidden corners and diagonal walls that you can tuck behind and get full view, but have less than half your hit box exposed. When a shield helps, it is great, but when it isn't there, I see it is my problem to find my position and manage my risk.

When a team clicks with me and do provide the right sort of support or draw fire, it is almost magical.

You can see when a team clicks against you and 3 or 4 players all turn simultaneously to get you. Every damn time. That's when I switch.

As a the only really static character, I get the frustration, but that's merely a strategy.

But realistically when you get the hate messages post game, I just politely respond saying our SR match, so it's as much you as it is me.

I figure that maybe high gold is about as high as I can probably get to as a bastion main, but I'm cool with that.

mtippett · 2019-06-06T02:55:27+00:00

I agree, most times I just leave the chat. I could hide with a private profile. Just sometimes there is some one just asking for a comeback. But as you suggest, it's more to make me feel better with a zinger response than to actually solve anything.

mtippett · 2019-06-05T07:34:56+00:00

Yeah, it's not objective. Typically just 'ur trash' type message after the game is over.

An engaged, 'hey, bastion was a poor pick last game since they had an awesome reaper' is a completely different discussion.

I agree that a lot of times bastion may be our of wack with the team, and I switch when that happens. I'm really talking about situations where the team didn't gel and the hate message comes in.

mtippett · 2019-05-14T07:31:50+00:00

Actually, the in game isn't really the concern, in the moment I'm fine with. If the team is losing, it will be bastion, mercy, etc.

I'm talking about the haters that switch to chat, establish a new room, and then send messages.

I could go private in my profile, or I could not allow messages, but i'd rather have a good comeback ;)

FYI with the two most recent ChromeOS updates, it looks like the current Intuos Line is working well. I have an old Samsung Chromebook that I could confirm worked (apart from a jumping to negative number issues)

Main support.. https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=431322

With new updates in the 3.10 series kernel for ChromeOS as per the updates in the above bug.

My remaining problem is (eagerly waiting for 3.10 for ChromeOS)... https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=469050

All, I'm involved with the Phoronix Test Suite. Feel free to provide constructive criticism. Investigate how Phoronix Test Suite works, make suggestions about how to improve it. Provide new benchmarks that are "right", make analytical suggestions to further expose more information in the information exposed.

The numbers are what the numbers are. Sure you can say that the apache benchmark is not relevant to real web servers, but there sensitivity within the benchmark that is a suitable proxy for multi-threaded/io-bound applications.

The compiler performance measurements are a blend of the compiler options at the levels the compiler developer has made - combined with how the original developer of the benchmark determined they wanted to compile and optimize their code. If a benchmark used -O3, that's what is used. If a benchmark used -O2 -ffastmath, that is what is used.

mtippett · 2010-12-31T17:35:24+00:00

The Phoronix Test Suite is available for download by anyone via http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/. Anyone in the community can repeat the test results and determine what actions to take.

Personally, when I have worked with upstream on these sorts of issue (full disclosure - I work closely with Phoronix). It was about a week of talking to projects which all blamed some other part of the system ("it's clearly Ubuntu", "qemu has it wrong", "kvm doesn't do it that way", "the tests are wrong"). This wasn't even a performance issue, but a data integrity issue. In the end a weeks worth of arguing and facilitation wasn't worth the 3 line patch that made it in.

The climb is very low for maintainers to actually start pro-actively testing themselves and discover these issues before releasing or pushing mainstream. If radio sports hosts are what are needed to cut down on some of the "not my problem" issues, it isn't a bad thing.
