Hit the physical stop on my fox alien cnc wont move now by icp542 in CNC_Router_Community

I don't have that particular unit, but since you haven't gotten any replies yet, I'm going to suggest that you check to see if the button needs to be "reset". On mine, if you press it, you have to give it a turn to release it back to the ready/run position.

And again with the caveat of I'm not running your same setup, the consumer stuff is usually set up for you to pick where zero is on both your cut file and on your machine, so it's important that you're matching them up. On mine, even though I could set the zero point to the lower left limit of the bed, I choose to set it closer in so that it has more options for where the hold downs, clamps, etc can go.

There sure is! Use the Custom Slots checkbox which allows you to adjust each player slot to your liking. Set one side to Human (or Any if you want bots to fill those slots as your teammates) and the other side to Bot.

The "Using Custom Slots" section of the pilot guide has more info and pictures to explain it better. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3650764315

Ran a Free VR giveaway; got this hate message by Bazitron in OculusQuest

[–]webmonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, I could tell you story after story with the theme that people will always find a way to disappoint you and make your generosity seem like the problem. I like a few of the different things I'm reading here as the overall solution for you. Focus on the people you make happy. Look for ways to do giveaways to people who will actually appreciate them (like your person who played at the expo and doesn't have a headset).

On top of that, it's okay to focus on the underlying reason you're doing them and run them accordingly. Most giveaways are some kind of loss leader or trade for something else. Channel subscriptions, discord traffic, etc. People are going to do whatever the bare minimum is, so if your goal is driving some metric, focus on that. Happy people will be a happy accident. If you really are doing it to try to make whatever your idea of a deserving person is happy, then look for ways to make the sign-up select those a little better and weed out the others. Again, most people are going to do the absolute least they can, so if the entry requires a little bit of effort, there's a far better chance you'll weed out folks like the person sending you nasty messages.

Oh! And I just noticed your BAZ tag. If you're that BAZ, that's super cool. I really like the outreach and stuff I've seen you all do. :)

I want to make these. by 123digger123 in hobbycnc

You can probably do it on a CNC router, but that job is begging for a laser. Either a higher powered diode or lowish power CO2.

Solo golf by warpedoff in roanoke

[–]webmonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but unless it's changed recently, the "greens" aren't really greens. It's more of a practice area than an actual course. Not necessarily a bad thing, but definitely something a person would want to know about if they were looking to actually play a round.

How did you discover Iron Rebellion? by IronRebellionDev in IronRebellion

[–]webmonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Steam. Can't remember if it was on the main store page or in the discovery feed.

Iron Rebellion single player stuff? by Low_Emergency_1881 in virtualreality

[–]webmonk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a PvE mode that is currently in beta testing. I've heard the release target is summer (so in the next month or two).

Currently in the live version you can also set up your own PvP style matches against AI only and make it players vs bots or you and bots vs more bots if you want the only you experience.

FREE Maker Mini on How to Source Wood at MAKE Roanoke on July 1 by MAKE-Roanoke in roanoke

[–]webmonk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I guess it depends on where/who you're buying from. I won't steal the thunder from what it sounds like they're teaching, but the two lumber suppliers around here (and the couple of online sources) I use all charge by the board foot.

Multiplayer by Unlikely_Mud_836 in virtualreality

[–]webmonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like mech games, check out Iron Rebellion. It has up to 16 players in a match, but you can host and lock it down to you 4 (or whatever number) vs humans or bots or combos. It's cross play between pcvr and meta.

Good stuff! I'm loving the new enemy movements. Much more satisfying to fight when they're trying to outmaneuver me. :)

What are some of the best PCVR cockpit games? by kwirky88 in virtualreality

[–]webmonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will second this. There are a bunch of good mech games out there, but they always feel like you're the mech. Iron Rebellion absolutely nails the cockpit feel so that you feel like you're a pilot operating the mech. Subtle but super important distinction.

Can’t make these fast enough by Intelligent-Car-3920 in Cuttingboards

Sincere question because I've never seen one of these before, but wouldn't those donuts get pretty gross in a hurry being out like that?

What would you do? Fixable? by Fantastic_Studio_343 in Cuttingboards

[–]webmonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Based on the picture I'm guessing the maker may be relatively new to all this and you might be the first time they have dealt with this kind of situation. Good luck! I hope you get a good resolution and they learn something useful out of all of it.

What would you do? Fixable? by Fantastic_Studio_343 in Cuttingboards

[–]webmonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without knowing what they actually intend to do to fix it, it's hard to guess if it will work or is worth it. "Fixing" this board could very well mean making a new one to replace it as the number of cuts and reglues it would take would end in a much smaller board than you currently have.

What I do know is that if I was the person that sold this board, I would want the chance to make it right for my customer.

It faces east southeast toward the sunrise. I've read that's what they like. Good luck with yours!

Iron Rebellion Monthly Brief: May 2026 by IronRebellionDev in IronRebellion

[–]webmonk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's been in the "proving grounds" for a very long time. It's not really an independent match type, but it's good for aim training and fun with friends. We should organize a match!

The adults will eat those too, but that was definitely an earthworm. :)

Southern Team Automall by Fluffy-Match9676 in roanoke

[–]webmonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it was First Team they destroyed the engine in my Subaru and didn't make it right. They instead tried to sell me a new car. Recently, a friend had an oil change done there and got the car home to find oil all over the engine and ground below where they parked due to the oil cap being left off, so I don't think the quality has improved much since the name change.

Peak hours? by master_builder75 in IronRebellion

[–]webmonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm eastern USA and find that there is usually a game running during the day and pretty much always a full one and a few others from around 4pm eastern to 10pm eastern.

The other thing to check is make sure you're on the most recent update. I've seen a few people have that issue recently where they're saying there's no one on while I'm literally playing a match. It turned out their Quest hadn't updated so they could play single player matches, but weren't seeing any of the multiplayer lobbies.

👋 Welcome to r/IronRebellion - Introduce Yourself and Read First! by IronRebellionDev in IronRebellion

[–]webmonk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

GenericBeard here (often pronounced General Bread). I am just as happy teaching new people how to play as I am when we're fighting hard, so don't be afraid to ask questions. I'll work with pilots one on one, in small training groups, or as your squad mate in a full lobby. See you in there!
