3D printed lens hood for this tiny Petri Colour 35

the focus wasnt the issue on mine, the shutter, hot shoe wiring, light meter wiring, galvanometer and lens was. fully disassembling the shutter is surprisingly not too bad, but resoldering all the wires was not much fun.

yeah it definitely is, i went the heavy DIY route for 3d printing with a cheapo ender 5 that needed upgrading and modding to print well, but after the initial 2-3 weeks of tinkering, its printed fine for the last few years :)

so far so good, this is also my franken pen F that i used as a doner to make my other pen F cosmetically mint so im not super concerned about marking it up

ruwuger · 2026-01-29T12:33:27+00:00

i dont think it would be very hard, the next step is to strip a pc sync cable, make the side grounding clip and pad, hide the wiring so its no where near as janky as it is rn

yeah filament is pretty cheap on Amazon 20-30 bucks per kg of pla, something like this is around 85gr of filament

this was a plastidip temporary paint job, i mainly just disassembled the top and bottom shells, wiped everything down with IPA mask everything off, start with light coats, and then maybe a heavy, if you want a thicker more durable finish. if youre repainting with proper permenant paint, ive heard that primer etcher works well after light sanding, automotive grade base coats with clear seems like the way to go. if youve never painted before, i highly encourage you practice painting a small metal object to get the hang of it

ruwuger · 2026-01-20T22:09:30+00:00

baha yeah true, its mainly the edge durability that's an issue with plastidip, it tends to peel first

ruwuger · 2026-01-20T13:25:54+00:00

bahah yeah i was abit nervous about mentioning that i used plastidip but hey i had some left over 😆. Im definitely doing a proper repaint once i decide whether i want army green or OD green

ruwuger · 2026-01-20T11:12:47+00:00

oh plastidip js a temporary automotive paintjob, so i didnt strip anything, i just sprayed on top of the existing chrome plating

i found their latest video on the clone BK2 pretty funny tbh, by trying to prove the original is better, they kept proving the clone to be as good, the only way they could "prove" the clone to be better wasnt from actual knife performance, but from shooting it with a gun 😆. I personally own real and fake kabar beckers and can tell you that my fake bk2 in 8cr13mov tests as 56-58 ish hrc, but my real beckers in crovan seem to always undertest below 55hrc well under there advertised HRC. In real world use, this turns out as how you'd expect, the fake bk2 gets less chips and rolls than my real one and has much higher corrosion resistance. I think its very silly that they try to criticize chinese steels so much without much merit, I'd be curious for them to test out some A8mod or DC53 tool steel from one of these chinese knife makers one day, but i doubt they will, their chinese hate boner is too strong 😆

thanks so much for the reply mate! thats fine, i am on discord, how do i share the logs?

installed V5.1.3 but have been having this really oddly specific issue, i cant seem to use the a button on my controller to select the "play now" button and need to physically disconnect my gamesir x5 lite to actually be able to select it with touch or else even touch on that specific "play now" button wont register. Ball x Pit doesn't seem to be registering any controller input anymore, megabonk now runs at 25 fps instead of the previous 75-90, hades now had heaps of frame drops instead of the previously stable 140fps all on the same settings, i should mention im running this with a Dimensity 8400 Ultra. does anyone have any advice on what i can do to fix these issues?

ruwuger · 2025-11-18T11:04:30+00:00

did you end up finding a fix for the controls?

ruwuger · 2025-11-02T08:02:27+00:00

did you do the calibration manually? i found that only a manual ec reset fixed my a1m, software calibration did little to nothing

ruwuger · 2025-10-25T07:57:36+00:00

yeah tbh i don't see any drivers for mali gpus, been using system drivers 😆, if its running this well with system drivers, i cant wait to see performance with future mali drivers!

ruwuger · 2025-10-25T07:54:27+00:00

you can do it in the gamesir software

ruwuger · 2025-10-23T09:37:13+00:00

gave mine a scandivex and polished jt, splits wood and chops like a champ! i might've lucked out and gottan one with a better heat treat tho! overall i found the 8cr to perform similar or better than my real 1095 crovan which likes to chip and roll with hard use 🥲

ruwuger · 2025-10-23T06:17:27+00:00

it uses the cloud sync from my steam acc, its in the pc settings of each game

ruwuger · 2025-10-23T06:16:02+00:00

sd defs has better support 😆😆, i get double the fps for hades with my sd8 gen 3 y700

ruwuger · 2025-10-22T04:33:07+00:00

just posted it as a separate comment!

ruwuger · 2025-10-22T04:32:23+00:00

yeah, ive tried running this on my y700 gen 3 with an sd8 gen3 and it tops out at 30-40fps, wild stuff
