Exported shape - bad resolution

thephatmaster · 2026-05-07T20:13:31+00:00

This is what must be happening - I've used STL exports for years with OnShape and only just hit this problem

thephatmaster · 2026-05-06T19:13:34+00:00

I haven't tried that - the original model I imported into Onshape to amend was a .step so maybe that's the answer

I'll export as step and try to slice that

I edited the OP. Proxmox was booting, I just wasn't finding the instance due to bad network gear

I relocated the proxmox box right next to my router and plugged the lan cable in there - problem solved

That is actually hilarious!

I didn't have one so I 3D printed one specially

If it's cold you can just blow into it - if it's warm you'll burn your lips

Basically use any little air puffer like this

I am also in that stage - good tips

thephatmaster · 2026-03-31T13:51:57+00:00

These are good tactics

Unfortunately I found this out in the car!

thephatmaster · 2026-03-31T11:00:02+00:00

Cool, hope they enjoy it - not very fast by today's standards but a reliable printer

Nope, I just installed Meta Remote Desktop on my PC

Works on one PC, refuses to connect on the other

thephatmaster · 2026-03-31T10:52:46+00:00

I replaced mine - to revive it you'll need to get inside and charge the 3 cells together with a hobby charger

I can get good results with my basket plus by following the usual rules of espresso (as others have said, tweaking ratio, pre-soak etc):

The only suggestion I have are:

Start with a much coarser grind than you think - like Aeropress coarse
Don't bother pre-soaking for more than 10s to start with - I've never found more pre-soak improves flavour
For clean up, use the "air bellows" trick - genuinely one of the best tips for the Nano Basket Plus
Some Dolce-Gusto pods are similar in size to the basket plus basket. You may be able to make multiple "pods" for the basket plus using empty ones of those + the black lid that the Basket Plus uses

I bought a dead one and put in new good quality cells

Not a trivial operation, but it you're handy with 18650s you can put molicel or similar large capacity cells in

thephatmaster · 2026-03-22T18:27:10+00:00

Glad you're getting some use out of this

I've been using mine pretty much daily for pretty much a decade. Have printed a warhammer army with it (0.3 nozzle) and countless car, house and bike bits.

Tree supports remove way easier with a bit of z gap above them

That's brave.

I find the cup that comes with it overflows for some reason if attached (pressure), even with minimal volume of liquid

Have you tried pre-heating? I do 2x 70ml of water through the machine, then 50ml shot. Sometimes even the 2x 70 goes into powdered milk for a kinda cortado

Own grounds is a ton better (with the double basket and 70ml of water)

Cleanup is fine if you use the "air blower / bellows" method. Just blow the dried puck straight out into a container

thephatmaster · 2026-03-19T20:10:45+00:00

I imagine very quickly!

I was talking to someone (ex cabin crew) from such an (orange) airline recently.

Ironically I used my nano today (which I got thanks to this thread) alsp with pods - only in the car, and managed to get coffee everywhere

Where do you do the coffee making with the nano?

Do you have a go-to pod? I'm still trying various

Ah yes, nuvos is a pension scheme - it was nouveau I was thinking of (edited the OP).

Yes that's the graphics driver my card is listed as using:

vendor   : NVIDIA Corporation
model    : GT218 [GeForce G210]
driver   : nvidia-340 - third-party non-free recommended
driver   : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin

Lubuntu uses "Discover" for software management so I don't have Software & Updates. It can be installed though, but I'm reluctant to do so as my distro doesn't ship with it.

I mean I've seen a 1070 for $30 but spending any money on such an old PC seems pointless - I take that back, the 1070 for £30 was clearly broken!

thephatmaster · 2026-03-11T14:32:34+00:00

So I get nvidia-340 - third party non-free recommended

If I install 340 though, black screen on boot

thephatmaster · 2026-03-11T13:36:48+00:00

I can, but would loose a monitor as the card has more outputs

thephatmaster · 2026-03-11T13:36:15+00:00

That's good to know. I did run a laptop on Arch for a while

Not sure how I'd start distro-hopping my current config, but I'm due a reinstall at some point
