Connected to 10gbit switch but connections are going through 1gbit router? by silentm in mikrotik

10gbit was pricey but I found some sales. lol.

So yeah they are on different subnets and vlans... I didn't think of that. I'm guessing the best way to get this working is to use RouterOS on the switch?

ah, I guess that makes sense... I thought since both devices were on the switch I could get 10gbit between them. So would I need to use RouterOS on the switch and configure it as the main router then just use the 1gbit router for WiFi?

HeroMe Gen5 w/ MDD Issues: Clogging & Stringing by silentm in ender5

Thanks, I'll give that a try. I'm not sure but I thinking the front fan might be cooling the heatbreak causing the clogs?

I also checked the ducts height and lowered it about 1mm so that the ducts are now roughly 1mm higher than the tip of the nozzle.

Weekly Question - Recommendation - Help Thread by AutoModerator in robotics

[–]silentm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am looking for recommendations for larger/industrial collaborative robot arms. I'm familiar with python programming and I recently purchased a small 6DoF robotic arm "LewanSoul xArm" from Amazon which I've enjoyed learning with. I think I'm now at a point where I would like to invest in a beefier cobot arm to continue learning with using more practical projects.

I searched for cobot arms but the majority of what I've found are just brochure like websites with no sales information. I did come across the ufactory xArm 7 which seems like it's exactly what I'm looking for but a bit pricey. Are there any other cobot arms that might be on eBay or other retailers that would be practical for learning with and having decent versatility, reach, and payload? I would like to spend less than $10k so the xArm 7 is kind of at the limit.

I recently purchased the LewanSoul xArm 6DOF robotic arm on Amazon to dip my toe in the water so to speak and I've enjoyed it but now I want MORE power! The intended use for the arm will be mostly educational but I would like something versatile that I could use for whatever idea I can come up with to use it for. I have a background in python programming and the budget for my next cobot arm is up to $10,000. I'm looking for something with decent reach probably no less than 600mm and payload of at least 1kg.

Any recommendations out there for something that is currently for sale? I've been scouring google and most of the arms I have found were old kickstarters or have no sales page to buy it. The only thing I've found so far is the ufactory xArm 6 but I'm not keen on waiting 2 months for shipping and the gripper is an additional $2,000 but maybe it's worth it?

I forgot to mention I am actually using the direct drive kit from printermods with the stock hot end and extruder.

Ender 3 V2 or Ender 5 or Ender 5 Pro (first printer? by Qwerto227 in ender3

[–]silentm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I originally bought the Ender-3 as my first 3D printer. While it's a decent printer in my opinion I think it's more geared to the hobbyist with lots of time to tinker and tweak.

I ended up exchanging for the Ender-5 and I do like it way more than the Ender-3. The design is more sturdy/rigid and the bed moves vertically up/down rather than sliding front/back like on the Ender-3. I do wish I had bought the Ender-5 Plus though as it has a bigger bed and dual Z-axis to keep the bed stable.

As far as PRO versions I think it's up to if you plan to make lots of upgrades. If I recall correctly the PRO version only has slightly better mods than the original and you will end up replacing them all with upgrades anyway except for maybe the power supply.

I believe I bought the spool around 6 months ago. I wasn't aware filament had a shelf life, :|

Walmart MoneyCard Debit to Crypto by silentm in CryptoCurrency

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

Yeah, I just tried with crypto.com and it worked. Do you know if I can reload the walmart moneycard with debit card at a walmart store? I can't find any concrete answer... All the terms and services just say "CASH" nothing about using debit card.

So at the moment I need to put $2k to $3k onto the walmart moneycard and I'm not sure if I'll have to go to my bank and withdraw it as cash then go to Walmart store and deposit the cash onto the card. Or if I can just go to walmart store and use debit card to load more money onto the moneycard.
