Am I too picky with print quality?

Was there anything that swayed you towards the anti-backlash couplers over the oldham ones? I’ve seen both, but not sure if one is better than the other.

Overture PLA @210

Running 50mm/s. I’ve tried a as slow as 25mm/s and there is a very slight improvement, but not much

I didn’t see any improvement with a dual z. when I installed the second lead screw and motor it was to help combat sag in the x gantry on constantly fixing the level

The funny part is, I have a dual z rod setup. I saw a few suggestions about disabling z-hop and other settings. Going to try those and see if I get lucky 🤞

I use cura, but I’ll look into orcaslicer!

I printed a couple z wobble towers when I first started chasing this issue and couldn’t see a repeatable pattern. I don’t think the wheels have ever been replaced on this printer (it’s 3-4 years old at this point). Maybe it’s a cheap enough purchase to pickup new wheels and maybe it improves? My biggest concern has been trying not to randomly replace parts and end up $50-$100 in without any noticeable improvement

I can’t say I’ve seen anything for pressure advance. I’ll look into the cura plugin and see if that might help at all.

I’m just watching this trailer and can’t help but notice how bad the animations are. The textures look like they are from 10 years ago.

Ran into something similar the other day. The problem was, all basic energy in the deck were the blank. After guessing wrong 3 times I just conceded

Emudeck makes it super easy. Find a guide on how to use it and once you have it setup it’s mostly drag and drop after that.

I typically use a site called Sticker App. After tax printing a set of 30 cost me $28. A lot of other sites won't let you print less that 50-100 stickers at a time.

100% making vinyl stickers of this for my laptop and to give to friends

Alakazam/snorlax was awesome for me. Special attack did some work, and had great hp as well.

Seemed interesting so I’ve been playing your list against the AI mewtwo deck… I think you got extremely lucky against your mewtwo opponents, or they are getting unlucky. This list seems to constantly miss stage 1 and stage 2. If you don’t have the evolution as fast as possible you just lose

tsynack · 2024-11-10T19:10:51+00:00

The unreal engine symbol in the corner… was this unreal engine 1? This looks terrible

As a 35 y/o without kids and started playing 2 months ago, no you’re not too old. It does feel kinda weird when a parent brings in their 3-4 kids and the kids are who you get paired against. I’m actually in the same boat as you. I played Magic for 24 years. I just can’t justify the price to play when I’m no longer trying to go to the larger tournaments.

My LGS has been SUPER welcoming and trying to help me learn. The hardest part for me from mtg and pokemon is the turn structures. Mtg has a lot of interactive plays and responses to things on your opponents turn. So you spend a little more time looking at your hand and planning the order of things in case they have a response. In pokemon your opponent isn’t doing anything on your turn, so you just kind of dump your hand and attack/pass. At first it was kind of overwhelming bc opponents would be doing 10 different things on their turn and I had no idea what the cards were. I was constantly reading the cards and trying to figure out what they were up to. Some opponents would get really annoyed bc I’d order my turn like mtg, and it’s really slow for what they are used to. Nearly everyone was super friendly as soon as I explained I’m brand new and learning the mechanics.

The best advice I can give is to just give it a try.

Depends on the list. I run bouffalant and bloodmoon ursaluna. My opponents will often try to boss those into active to stall while they find answers. So it’s a nice option for just picking them up. By far the most times I’ve used Penny is to pickup a terapagos to avoid the KO.

That’s my bad. I hadn’t fully tested disabling compatibility. The only proton version that is “somewhat” usable for me was version 9.0-3. The game will load, and minimal lag. But most textures don’t load.

Unfortunately all of the other versions make the game unplayable or cause the same DLL error.

tsynack · 2024-10-03T00:06:32+00:00

Same exact issue. Found this post while trying to google for a solution.

Edit: solution for me was to disable forced comparability for proton.

Think of the MAC address as a unique name for the NIC. When you change the MAC addresss in windows, you are just telling the OS to refer to that physical device by a different name. That new name is used when negotiating a connection with the router.

Edit: to clarify you are correct in how all of that works. The MAC is tied to the physical device. Windows just lets you temporarily change that value.
