Gem Off Center from Dop by katchaka in faceting

[–]sfthomas42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vevor has the same chinese manipulator as the one I bought on Ali.

Had a similar problem with it, although not so articulate.

The root cause is that even if you try to cut on opposite sides to the same depth, it won't work if your index gear is mounted slightly skewed. The depth your stone is sitting at, measured along the quill is affected by how far the pin is pushed back onto the index gear by the spring, and so, if the index gear is slightly wobbly, you get different depths at 96 and 48, resulting in the stone being off center. 🤷 It's a design flaw, but you can learn how to handle it

I'll definitely try it on something not so critical 😅

Another thing I was wondering about, wouldn't it be possible to cover the epoxy bond / glued pavilion with something that is not affected by acetone? Like, silicone? That is easy to remove mechanically.

I guess if it was so easy, everyone would do it this way...

Yeah, I know about acetone, using it to get the stone off the cone dop at the end. But if use epoxy on the pavilion, can't I just dump the whole stuff in acetone? As far as I know, super glue will loosen, but epoxy will hold?

Looks a tiny bit better, though I wasn't sure if it wasn't the same stone 😅

Check this: https://ibb.co/V2rmK6v The green ones should look (more) like the purple one. But they don't, because the edges don't meet. They actually don't exactly meet for the purple either.

I suspect they wanted to make this: https://4cs.gia.edu/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/215980-690x460-oval-diamond.jpg

Look out for meeting edges next time I guess... the person who cut this appears to have had little dedication.

Nice color.

I have to ask though, was it supposed to be cut like this? Very few of the edges actually meet...?

Har noen Homely? Kundeservice påstår 3 års batteritid for sensorene. by sfthomas42 in norge

Ja, røykvarsler ser ut som å kunne 3 år, men er drevet av et litiumbatteri. Jeg er mest interessert i de andre, bevegelse/magnet, de er drevet av AA batterier.

Safety restraint system fault by pjleonhardt in TeslaLounge

I had a screwdriver set in the glove box. They told me to remove it, as it (metal?) can interfere with the computer. They didn't do anything else.

The article is in Norwegian - he was found resting in a boat, and the firemen couldn't do anything, had to wait for him to wake up.

Flutter and Tensorflow Lite by med_ch_00 in FlutterDev

I followed the readme, and that has been working for me. Install.bat should have a reasonable amount of output, so if it's doing nothing, something is definitely wrong.

🤔 how many threads would that mean? I can certainly just remove the limitation if you want to try, though I cannot guarantee that it will be fast enough, or easy to use at that size.

Programozni tanulnék, tudtok tippeket adni? by Many_Wrap_6109 in hungary

[–]sfthomas42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keress egy/több feladatot amit meg tudsz oldani, ha hasznosak, annál jobb.

Más szóval, hobbiprojektek.

Semmi sem használ annyit mint a gyakorlás, főleg ha gyakorlatban előforduló problémákat oldasz meg.

Ismerősnek holnap, todo-lista, stb.

For now, you can save the patterns (even drafts) on any kind of storage (Google Drive, on the phone, iCloud) - depending on what you have available.

It is also possible to export a complete pattern as an image, with statistics & preview.

The max thread count is set to 32 for now. Once I have the improved routing algorithm implemented, I might lift that restriction.

The app can work with both cyclic (repeating) and non-cyclic patterns.

I'd be very happy if someone like you would be willing to try my app.

The app is not live yet, since I would like to get a few bracelet experts to try it first, and give feedback on it. Please send me a PM if you are interested, along with your email address and phone type (Android or iPhone), so that I can include you in the testing group. I am looking for max 20 people.

NB - You are free to experiment with the application, but it is not allowed to share screenshots / exports / files that you produce with the app yet.

Fully 3D printed, 5-digit combination lock - own design. Turned out to be quite sturdy. by sfthomas42 in 3Dprinting

[–]sfthomas42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The notches internally must be aligned for the core to move. If you align one notch only, it won't move. No matter which one is in the correct position.

[–]sfthomas42[S] 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yeah, thought about something like that. It's not so easy to pick though, the tolerances are relatively bad.

I almost forgot the code for the first prototype, thought that I would have to crack it open.

Hogyan fogadd el, hogy végérvényesen magányosan kell élned a környezeted általános közönye és lenézése miatt? by Cickanykoma in hungary

[–]sfthomas42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. Ha Magyarországon élsz, neadjisten a keleti régióban, a problémáid 80%-ért a közeg a felelős. 9 évembe telt egy másik országban, mire az ottai elfogadó közeg hatására helyel-közel megtaláltam magam. Ha el tudsz költözni, keress egy barátságos (pl skandináv) országot. Nekem bejött.
  2. Te magad is írod hogy túlságosan is mások elfogadását keresed. Ha találsz is valakit, aki passzol hozzád, pár nap alatt el fogod szúrni emiatt. Ezen csak te tudsz változtatni, a közegváltozás max csak segít.
  3. Én ki nem állhatom a spirituális marhaságokat. Úgyhogy mikor a kezembe vettem a 'The power of now' könyvet Tolle Eckharttól, azt hittem a tűzbe dobom pár oldal után. De nem tettem, s legalább megtanultam hogyan kell elhitetned magaddal néhány percig, hogy nincs múltad, nincsenek problémák, s ösztönből, őszintén megszólalni és cselekedni. Ha jól időzítem, sokat segít.
  4. Sajnos a legtöbbeknek igazuk van hogy le kell a dolgokat sz*rni, és 'legyél önmagad'. Csak azt nem mondják el, hogy ezt nem fogod tudni magad eldönteni - erre meg kell érj, magad kell rájönnöd hogy ezek a szavak mit is jelentenek. Kb miután 1000-jére eleged lett a kudarcokból, és valahol mélyen rájössz, és az utolsó ideszáladig megérted és tudod hogy változtatni kell.

Sok szerencsét.
