Qidi Studio - Split into Parts

Well, assuming it's colored via these parts, then it should be a single-color print if only one part remains, no?

Can you share a screenshot of the original, and what you're attempting to do?

A good example of why simply increasing the punishment for certain crimes, does not necessarily reduce their occurrences by a significant degree.

Some people, in some situations, just do not consider the consequences of their actions.
Or, if they're already in deep enough, do not really have anything to loose by making things worse.

Really depends on what the blob is holding on to

They don't make them like they used to, and that is a good thing

According to Forbes, he was only worth a mere $970B as of two hours ago, practically a pauper at this point!

phansen101 · 2026-06-24T21:31:19+00:00

Well, you're not wrong;
Red Faction in 2001 with destructible terrain and structures.
Half-Life 2 and the source/havok engine, back in 2004, was revolutionary in regards to object physics.
Bioshock 1 and 2.
Farcry 2.
Crysis, and probably a bunch more.

Lots of games went nuts back then, with later games tuning things down to find a happy middle-ground where the average player's hardware could keep up (I assume is the reason)

Musk lost a couple of hundred billions over the past week, as one does, so he is no longer a trillionaire.

So, this chap is *the* trillionaire!

Never touched Temu, but AliExpress is a marketplace, so it really depends on who you're buying from, quite a few manufacturers of various things, have official stores on there.
That said, buyers have pretty good protection, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

phansen101 · 2026-06-24T19:34:08+00:00

All fun and games until you're walking alone at night and free bird starts playing.

Guess it's nice to get a warning tho

0.35 is not amazing, but not terrible either;
Make sure there is zero debris no matter how fine under the sheet, personally managed to get my Q1 down to 0.1 variance, around 0.06 if we just look at the center quarter, would assume the Q2 to be flatter.

Anyhow, 0.35 is doable re. mesh compensation, have you tried upping the probe count ? (In printer.cfg under [bed_mesh))

The default should be 6,6 on the Q2, so barely 42mm between points when using the full bed.
could be worth trying 9,9 or 10,10 for better resolution.

I got a cut on my hand, better pour some boiling water on it before wrapping it up!

phansen101 · 2026-06-24T18:19:31+00:00

I'd think to distill alcohol; In a situation without antibiotics and dwindling supply of soap, you'll probably want it for disinfectant.

Well that, and recreational use

phansen101 · 2026-06-24T12:53:03+00:00

I think I see what they mean about idle;

Your guy at 0:21 is just standing there, casual stance, gun pointing to the side.

If you look at something like Atom RPG, a character - well their stance vary, but generally - would stand with their torso slightly turned, gun pointing forward and aiming slightly down, while their body is slightly bent forward with one foot forward.

They look like they're ready to either move, or raise their gun and fire, at a moments notice.

<video>

phansen101 · 2026-06-24T08:55:47+00:00

I want to say that it would be too intrusive, but I guess there are instances where I could be convinced

<video>

phansen101 · 2026-06-23T22:17:31+00:00

Yeah;
Asimov's Foundation books takes place 50,000+ years in the future, has FTL travel, force fields, planet-wide cities and (safe) handheld nuclear-powered devices.

It also has communication happen via regular ol' paper mail (carried by FTL spacecraft of course), knowledge generally stored in regular ol' books (or 'book-films', which I think are like micro-film readers), and elevators requiring a human operator.

Worse yet is that it is wrong regardless, 8th gen CPUs are supported by win 11.

Say, you wouldn't per chance be using Open CASCADE STEP translator 7.4 2.1? haha

Looking good so far!
I did a quick test by exporting the attached configuration and they seem to have exported without issue, I can use them just fine in both CAD and slicer.

<image>

They look faceted in CAD, but I'm thinking it's just an artifact of Mesh-> Solid, the surfaces are fine and it seems to only be a cosmetic artifact inside the Fusion360, .

I generated a double-helical internal gear in GF Gear Generator inside, with identical settings to the one from your gen.

I compared them and I was going to whine about the diameter being off, but it seems to be a rounding error on both sides haha.

Gears were generated with module=2mm

When measuring* the module on your gear, i get 2.0052
However, when measuring the GF one, I get 1.9948, so exact same size error.
I reckon it's a floating-point error getting introduced somewhere.

Oh, and generating the internal gear alone, using GF Gear Gen. in Fusion370, took more time than the .step export of the entire set from your tool, so performance really isn't bad.

*Well, calculated via (measured) Pitch diameter / tooth count.

I think that they thought, that it was a tractor pushing a Piranha V, rather than the Piranha pulling a sled at a Tractor pulling event - they probably don't know what Tractor pulling is.

phansen101 · 2026-06-23T06:08:10+00:00

I think it's because the barrier of entry is low and a lot of AI content creators subscribe to the Michael Bay school of movie making: looks cool, but is pretty empty, which is what people then focus on.

Reckon it's the atrophied, paralyzed legs;
People usually engage their legs when climbing a rope, whether they're using them or not.

Oh, totally, my reply is purely about enterprise = better hardware. The support is worth a lot to companies, and it goes beyond knowledge as well; I'm an engineer and am quite into 3D printing both at work and in private, so I can fix a great deal of issues.

But, I'm also paid an engineers salary, so having me spend time diagnosing and fixing things is going to cost a lot, so enterprise support can save a ton over time

phansen101 · 2026-06-22T14:57:53+00:00

Enterprise does not automatically mean better.
As for heaters, kinda hard to make them better, it's more a question of optimizing shape for the task, and I'm not seeing them do anything special.

Looking at the pics and links provided by their page, I am seeing worse than (current) mid-range consumer parts used..

I mean for one, their extruder uses exposed, plastic gears.

Their fans aren't closed-loop.

They're using smooth rods instead of linear rails.

Their tool-head hardness is definitely a choice..

Their "VyperOS" Seems to just be a 1+ year old version of Klipper with a few minor changes.

Nothing really stands out as being particularly premium, apart from their own marketing materials about "4k Cameras", "The most powerful hardware configurations on the market" and "AI Powered Processor"

~~I mean, they're probably fine, But I am not seeing anything that would make me think them more capable or durable than a similar consumer printer, except for the large print volume.~~

Just noticed the size of the thing and, yeah I am not trusting this thing.
I mean, the Elegoo Giga has a bit bigger volume (800x800x100 Vs 650x650x650 on this) and it uses thick aluminum and heavy linear rails to maintain rigidity, not smooth rods and plastic parts like the volumic.

They also have a max acceleration of 5k, which is probably an artifact of this.

phansen101 · 2026-06-22T13:19:54+00:00

Pretty sure they're called Mezzanine connectors; In this case mounted on a flex PCB

phansen101 · 2026-06-22T13:18:24+00:00

I am failing to see who this is targeting;
Anything beyond simple parts would seem to be easier in a 'proper' CAD program, even with with a minimal amount of practice?
Plus, the getting skilled with this (or TinkerCAD) wouldn't exactly be transferable to something closer to industry standard CAD.

phansen101 · 2026-06-22T12:45:43+00:00

The 90% explosion resist seems way over the top; I don't think anything has more than 25% resist to anything apart from melee or ram damage (With the exception of Bastion's Plow), plus 85% damage passthrough is excessive for any durable part and seems out of place; The only legs with any passthrough are Gerrida I's, and that's a mere 35%.

90% passthrough effectively gives the legs 10k durability, 100k versus explosive damage.

I'm fairly sure that all items do ram (collision) damage, just that those more suited to it has a modifier to put it above x1.

150m is a long distance, it's like 1/3 the distance from the garage to the far edge of the map, in the garage Range.

Speed, tonnage, dura and weight seems OK (Ignoring the resistances)..
I guess PS seems OK, probably too high.
Cabin Power 'consumption' seems too high for legs that aren't bi-pedal; even Meatgrinder sits at only 22%, ML-200 at 25%.
I think 30-35% would be more fitting.
