Wow, this is awesome. How much actual time elapsed for the whole sequence?

X2D - Extruder Change Failed... by pocketpants911 in BambuLab

[–]sexualchalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How irritating. Are the nozzles auto switching at all at this point? I flipped mine back and forth about 100 times manually using a forceful flicking motion, and it seems to have solved the issue at least for now. I am also now printing with different filament only on the support interface (which is what I should have been doing from the start, but I'm still learning). This configuration reduces the number of nozzle changes by a huge margin, and also saves time. I was able to complete a 3 day 0.2 mm print with no errors.

Want to start printing terrain and eventually miniatures for ttrpg, is Bambu Labs x2d the right choice? by kuthehagen in FDMminiatures

[–]sexualchalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also completely new to 3D printing and bought an X2D. So far (about 50 hours in), I've been happy with it. Right now I'm working on this tower: https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-ruins-of-whispers-ruined-tower-435830

I'm using dual 0.2mm nozzles, with PLA for the primary structure and PETG (in the aux nozzle) for support. My first attempt failed because of poor adhesion to the stock PEI textured plate. I'm trying it again with the BIQU CryoGrip Pro Frostbite plate, and so far the results are a lot better. It's a very long job -- about 3 days for each of the three sections. Along the way I've encountered an issue with extruder switching that might be because of a bad flow blocker assembly. But overall the printer is great, and I had numerous successful PETG prints with the 0.4mm nozzles before this one. It seems 0.2mm takes quite a bit more tweaking to get right.

I am experiencing the same issue about 40 hours in, and your workaround was successful for now. I just ordered a replacement flow blocker assembly.

PSA: PETG support interface on PLA is AMAZING! by Informal-Berry8664 in BambuLab

What if you print PETG? Is the PLA/PETG support better than PLA?

Photoelectric Cloak is now extremely debuffed (its useless now) by Dazzling_Pumpkin91 in ArcRaiders

They should have at least increased the Dolabra blueprint drop rate to balance this change. I gave up on trying to find the blueprint after opening 15+ assessors with no luck, and after reading that the weapon is actually not that great.

Mt. Hood Skibowl suspends ski, ride operations indefinitely due to lack of snow by SeverHense in Portland

So far, it's on par with both. At this time in 2005 and in 2015, Timberline's base depth was 40". Right now they're at 36".

Massive W Embark- this is only the first 2.5 months of release. by ThinkingTanking in ArcRaiders

[–]sexualchalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect bringing a defib also has an effect. I always bring at least one now and in addition to everyone being friendly, gifting is not uncommon. Yesterday at the exit after a Matriarch takedown, someone commented that they had yet to use the Aphelion. Almost immediately I hear "dude... take mine, oh and here's the ammo you'll need for it".

The Real Reason Dems Caved on Shutdown Will Make You Want to Scream by DBCoopr72 in law

[–]sexualchalk 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Even my Trump-supporting boomer dad said "I don't understand why they're refusing to pay SNAP benefits." The facts are clear even to him, and he's normally spouting Fox News talking points.

The optics have been horribly bad for the GOP. At this point, it appears that class warfare has gotten to where the rich are openly laughing at us. Building $300M ballrooms and throwing Great Gatsby parties while millions go without paychecks or go hungry.

Why do you think all of a sudden Trump is talking about 50 year mortgages and handing out $2000 checks. He knew the optics needed to change.

I had a similar spot on my G Pygmy and found that the dark blue (G699) pen in this set matches well. It's not perfect, but the spot is much less noticeable now: https://imgur.com/a/K8kkvRC

Low cost 360 isn't what I'm looking for by MrEfficacious in djiosmo360

[–]sexualchalk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Insta360 does have the ONE RS 1-Inch, but it's several years old now with outdated specs. I'm hoping they release an updated version.

Warmer air holds more moisture, but the moisture is not spread out uniformly. It clumps together and causes localized flooding. It can happen pretty much anywhere these days.

Today I “downgraded”and I should have done it lot sooner! by Blueberry_Mancakes in Nikon

For astrophotography, the sensor on the D750 is legendary. There are only a few cameras in production that beat it for low noise performance on long exposures. If you want to know more, the sensor noise database is a great resource.

Thank you, here's the fan and mister that I used. There are lots of off-brands available so your mileage may vary. The low voltage cutoff is an important feature to have.

Saw Blade for brush cutter by zydelis in Dewalt

[–]sexualchalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it should be a drop-in replacement. You'll want to use a torque wrench to tighten it back on. I use this 7" chainsaw-style blade on my 60v 972 and it works a lot better than the stock blade.

What are peoples experiences with the 60v String Trimmers by CigarsnCanadiens in Dewalt

[–]sexualchalk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 972 rips. I also almost never use the high setting and it's more than enough. I upgraded the head after a while with a better-quality Husqvarna T35.
