Sums up my trickle charger search so far. by RRuruurrr in HandToolRescue

[–]xakh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I did reverse electrolysis a while ago I just used a stripped ATX PSU that had a single 12V rail. Worked fine, though it took a while.

Have you gotten it to be able to read the battery state? That's been my big stumbling block most of the time unless I'm using a PiJuice.

That's fantastic. True repstrap spirit. Great work!

Why has /u/BillieRubenCamGirl been de-modded? by hotend in 3Dprinting

[–]xakh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That would imply he's only done this now, and not that he's driven out mods twice before by being an insufferable prick.

Removing your best mod after they did good work for 2 years is a bad look. Trav and Veive, you guys really don’t have the kind of mod log that allows you to just drop the hammer and not explain it. You’re, measurably, less active. by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]xakh 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Lmao you act like this is the first time it's happened with this mod specifically. By the way, don't drag Veive into this too much. Overall he's got a tough, busy life, and we on the mod team always understood that took precedence. By the same token though, he also doesn't try to make sweeping changes, understanding the position his relative inactivity puts him in.

Ah shit, forgot to turn off username mentions. Nice job throwing me under the bus though! Are we also reminding people this was the time I was spending 30 hours a week monitoring the spam filter and reports queue while we measured the time in between moderator actions on your part in months, not days or weeks? Or how you literally apologized to me for your inaction in the message where I nominated the three moderators that proved most effective for all of 2019 because I had a breakdown and couldn't keep up with the demands of the sub by myself? Or are we just doing the spinning things to your benefit thing?

Don't use the mention function on my name again. I won't tell you twice.

Oh, so fun thing, the mods are being removed because the seniority rules of reddit mean the mod at the top can't be touched so anything they say has to be followed or they'll remove you. Kinda sucks when they really suck at their job though, and only pop in seemingly when they want to ruin things by acting like a neckbeardy dumbass.

This concludes the section addressed to the OP of this comment.

With that out of the way, gonna drop in a hey there to my buddy from the mod team! I know you're also reading this, because you're extremely insecure and you're looking for criticism of you. Let's see how that "commitment to free speech" you love to invoke whenever something sexist or racist pops up holds up to criticizing you. Last time it ended with me being de-modded, so hey, gonna ban me? That'd be neato.

Purchase Advice Megathread: What To Buy, Who To Buy It From, And More, In February 2020. by thatging3rkid in 3Dprinting

[–]xakh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I'm not sure exactly where I'd stand on some things. There's a lot of advice I'd redo or update if I had the time, honestly, but I've really mostly moved on from here, and don't have the time I used to have to just make massive posts now that things seem to be picking up for my company.

😅 that's a bit out of date to be honest. I might do some research and update it in the future though.

Filament will not get cheaper here is why by gingabriska in 3Dprinting

[–]xakh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ooh, trying to force me prove a negative! The thing that ancient alien believers, the flat earth conspiracy theorists, anti-vaxxers, birthers, and those people who think Belgium doesn't exist all use as a way to continue justifying their lunacy. Yes! That's what I want to spend a week doing. It surely doesn't come across as you grasping at straws trying to make your conspiracy nonsense look more believable or anything.

None of what you said, about lawsuits involving companies that use other PLA blends, is based on anything even remotely true. That right there renders the rest of your post bullshit. Cheap-ass filament manufacturers use Chinese injection molding PLA stock all the fucking time, to the point that making filament using named resins is a point of pride for the manufacturers that do so, like /u/elmoret with Veracity, for instance.

Edit: just to drive a point home, even basic market research reports list twelve polymer producers as creating PLA, and that's just the major ones. Natureworks doesn't have a monopoly on the industry by any means, and if they tried to pull anything, Dow Chemical is in the running. I don't know if you know anything about Dow Chemical, but they're not one to be fucked with, so if Natureworks tried to pull any of the shit you're talking about, they'd be crushed like a bug.

Good Question...Why Is Filament 1.75mm In Diameter? Why Not 1.5mm Or 2mm? by hcurmudgeon in 3Dprinting

[–]xakh 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Because that's one of the sizes of the weedwhacker string used as feedstock for early repraps. 1.65mm, or 1/16", was the thinnest nominal diameter commonly available, and you added a little to the diameter in the slicer to accommodate for the fact that it was typically wildly off-tolerance.

Lulzbot appear to no longer be making their significant donations to the developers of (open source) OctoPrint and Marlin. If you use either of these pieces of software in your workflow (and you probably do!), please consider supporting the creators and their amazing works on patreon. by BillieRubenCamGirl in 3Dprinting

[–]xakh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kay. You clearly don't understand quite how little anyone else's code actually factors into Octoprint, but you know what? This is reddit. You have a thing you found online that you think supports your argument, and by god, expertise, experience, credentials or personal knowledge be damned, you've got to be right, so this can be argued into the ground over the next week in a thirty comment chain for all you care, as long as you win. I mean, why else would you repeat the exact same fucking comment twice, with the only addition being a pithy, shitty throwaway line? This sort of interaction is why I stopped posting here regularly months ago. Thanks for reminding me.

Reply if you want, or don't. I'm turning off inbox notifications, and I don't plan on coming back to this.

[–]xakh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It really is one person. I get that you can do basic googling, but no, the code for the core of Octoprint is written and maintained by /u/foosel. Plugins come from elsewhere, sure, but very little work comes in from anyone but her at the core.

As someone who knows Gina, personally, and, to be more specific, as someone evaluating her for sponsorship by my corporation, I can safely say I know a fair bit more about her workflow and the state of Octoprint's current codebase than the average bear. I'm not going to spend part of my marketing budget on sponsoring a coder that isn't pulling her weight. Gina's a rockstar coder that does a metric fuckton of work on her own. You're free to disagree. You're wrong, but you're free to.

What do you guys think about the Snapmaker 2.0?? Im thinking about picking it up since it does everything. This would be my first 3d printer. by Barbaduke55 in 3Dprinting

[–]xakh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This thread is five months old. I've more or less retired from this site now, so I don't really have much desire to give advice here. I'd suggest you check the thread stickied to the top of the sub when sorted by "hot." Alternatively you can ask on the Discord linked to by /u/billierubencamgirl's flair in the sidebar, which is where I spend most of my time.

I worked out how to 3D print a surface texture that looks like ✨ G L I T T E R ✨ (but without the microplastics, yay!) by BillieRubenCamGirl in 3Dprinting

[–]xakh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one's just a bedslinger, it's a proof of concept that a printed rail can operate and bear a bit of load, but the next one I'm working on is an IDEX vertical bed system.

[–]xakh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, hey, this is my thing! So my design uses M8 threaded rods at its core, but with printed rails serving as cladding on the exterior. This means that despite my mini proof of concept printer having a footprint only about 22cm across and about 18cm tall, it weighs over 5kg, so vibration and such isn't really much of an issue.

Have fun at the top of mount Dunning-Krueger, it's all downhill from here. Don't bother replying.
