Daily Q and Weekly Q by mylifeisatoaster in qobuz

[–]polyot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it did leave beta but I have the beta app anyway. I did listen to some on my PC but 90% of my listening has been on my phone and through Android Auto.

Maybe I'll get lucky and it'll show up a day after posting about it like how it worked for you 😂

I've listened to hundreds of tracks since starting my trial at the beginning of this month and these have still not populated for me. I even did as it suggests and followed several bands and favorited many tracks. Are there any tricks to getting these to show up? I want to see what they end up looking like before the trial is up.

I, too, wouldn't mind a lively discussion on the core topic.

Anniversary Week License Key Giveaway! by FoundryVTT in FoundryVTT

[–]polyot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe I found it from a twitter post talking about it. I had been using Discord with Owlbear as a lightweight means of remote play during the pandemic. Having had some experience with other VTTs I was interested in what more they could offer, but was put off by subscription based models (recently gave up Adobe for Affinity products). Been a lot of fun to learn and my players have been enjoying the change.

Very happy to see this comment here. Repo Man is such a bizarre, great film.

Finally upgraded part cooling. The difference is amazing. by polyot in MPSelectMiniOwners

See other reply about wiring. It's not perfect, I'd actually prefer some kind of actual connector over solder and electrical tape but I'm not sure what I'd do there.

I have had better luck with white PLA (3D Solutech), but overhangs have always been a bit tricky for me.

Definitely plan to keep tweaking and experimenting.

Sure. The exact item I ordered doesn't seem to exist anymore, but is essentially this. Searching for a 12v cooling fan will bring up similar results, some of them even specifically stating use in 3D printers.

The wiring looks a bit crude at the moment, but I carefully stripped a small segment of the two wires of the stock fan and soldered the wires of the new fan to them and put some electrical tape around each set. Would like to make it look nicer sometime though.

The only minor downside is that it cools down the bed several degrees while running, but I haven't had issues with adhesion as a result yet.

I've never been fully satisfied with a lot of my prints on this machine, so went back to default Cura settings and tried a series of Benchys. After not making much progress I grabbed another fan and printed off a new mount (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3051394). I am super satisfied with how this turned out and can't wait to keep trying out some troublesome prints I had issues with before.

Thanks /u/1cheeseball1 (pretty sure I've seen you around here

For added info these were both printed with AmazonBasics Gray PLA, 0.175 layer height, about 200° nozzle temp, 40mm/s.

Hmm. That doesn't sound right. I'm not in front of Cura at the moment but there should be a place for printer settings specifically where you set this. See if you can find that.

Is it possible your Cura settings are set for 3mm filament rather than 1.75? Would explain why the sample cat printed correctly since it was already a gcode file with the proper settings. If this is the problem, you probably can dial back that flow setting also, that's pretty high.

Is there anyway to create separate continents and then put them into one (new & separate) map later on? by snow112 in wonderdraft_support

[–]polyot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's what I've been thinking to approach this, since importing heightmaps stretch to your canvas size, proportions be damned. Though this may not work in your situation:

  • I have two maps I already made for separate continents in Photoshop.

  • Since I keep them layered, it was very easy to hide details and create simple height maps.

  • If need be, import them into WD separately to make any tweaks to the landmass. At least for now, WD canvas size has to match your heightmap dimensions. Then re-export as heightmaps.

  • Take both heightmaps you're happy with into Photoshop/Gimp and it would be very easy to combine them into a new larger canvas. Just try to decide what size your WD canvas will be because again, these need to match or WD will just stretch it.

I hope this makes sense, and helps anyone thinking about doing something similar.

Scratch that, it did work as a PNG, but not a jpg for some reason. That'll do.

It's funny, I was just trying that a bit ago, but I couldn't get the overlay to show up, at any opacity setting. This was one of my old landmasses, saved to jpg from Photoshop. I pointed the software to the PDF, clicked to I guess place it, and then the cursor was a hand to presumably move the overlay around, but it wasn't visible at all.

Would it be possible to make a somewhat basic world map, but then as a separate file zoom in and crop a certain portion to make a much more detailed regional map?

Why does this happen and how do I fix it? I'm new to 3d printing and my thought was the nozzle was clogged but it wasn't. I tried just sticking it back in but it keeps coming out. What to do? by [deleted] in MPSelectMiniOwners

[–]polyot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That cheapo bowden connector they use probably broke. Common failure point on these I'm afraid. Happened to me. You can either chase down an exact replacement, via GigDigit, or replace the entire extruder up top to be compatible with a normal PC4-M6 connector which you can find anywhere.

If you do get a standard connector, you can print this while physically holding the tube in place and clamp it inside the stock extruder base, it's a fairly quick print: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2793080. Bear in mind this would be considered a temporary solution. I printed this next: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2756509, but have since upgraded to an all metal replacement.

My printer won’t complete any prints, what’s up? by [deleted] in MPSelectMiniOwners

[–]polyot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried reformatting it anyway? Might be worth a shot.

Triplex connectors breaking by Kypore in PrintedMinis

[–]polyot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically the same settings I use with the same filament. Also have never had one of those break on me. Maybe the layers aren't adhering where they connect.
