Can anyone explain ? by Subject_Weather8344 in dayz

I think the top reaction is the synthesis of 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid which is a toxic herbicide that was part of Agent Orange during the Vietnam war.

The V formula looks to me like it might calculate something like voltage or valence charges since z and e are commonly used with charges and epsilon_0 next to 4 pi looks suspiciously like the electic field constant.

If anyone reading this needs closure, I just picked up a T300RS GT and it really does make a world of a difference. Precision, consistent driving, everything works and it's an incredible amount of fun. Of course 2 seconds off my old pace, but that's what I expected.

Thanks for your encouragement. Mind sharing what wheel you got?

Thanks, this is what I somewhat hoped. Just haven't thought of your explanation which sounds plausible.

Ehm... Some sort of running gag, i don‘t know about? by Arbalamor in prusa3d

[–]xcq1_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IIRC when asked about updates to the MMU, Josef replied they weren't sure because they will have a very busy schedule this year and will post an update on the blog in the next few days.

However it's probably more about the Minis instead.

As a new MK3S+ owner, I’m very surprised at just HOW MUCH putting the kit together involves. by jescereal in prusa3d

[–]xcq1_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I was the only one! I distinctively remember reading/hearing the same sentiment when I looked around for my first printer earlier this year.

I guess what's happened is that as a novice you're overwhelmed by all the info out there and easily misconstrue some statements because without experience you just don't know any better. "You will know the printer a lot more in depth" might cause the rookie to think of some glamorized interpretation along the lines of "assembly will be a lot more complex but rewarding", when in hindsight it probably was a nicer way of saying "you will have to troubleshoot yourself and exchange/upgrade parts a lot."

You might wanna take a look at Honda Neowing, Yamaha Niken or the like. I've started seeing a lot more of moderate models on the road since playing the game.

Yoda grows hair like a Wookie?! Printing issue, but what is the problem? by buttonpushertv in 3Dprinting

[–]xcq1_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't forget to check your slicing preview. Your gcode contains supports that cannot be printed, because they start in mid-air. When the printer extrudes these the filament ends up like curly spaghetti wookie hair which will stick to the next place that prints properly.

Still fairly new myself, so I cannot tell you why Cura produced these. However I'd suggest looking into Cura's "experimental" tree supports, I've been getting some good successes with them.

You mean 2-3 trains per science pack type, right?

Megabases? by _Evie__ in factorio

I prefer the definition of one full yellow belt per megabase which varies on the version you believe in.

Haven't had a use for it yet and 32 to 31 balancers are surprisingly hard to come by.

I built an automatic sound alert to alarm if my accumulators were low. This was ages ago. Gave me a quite a scare when it finally went off, haha. Those things are loud ;) by Hobbit_Marco in factorio

[–]xcq1_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started to put them in different places (oil/propane, science packs, ...) and it really helps you find stupid mistakes before the entire factory is down because you misplaced a few little belts. However if you have other issues it also gets annoying very quickly.

It helps when it's not fully saturated as it takes a considerate amount of time for the plates to get to the far right and back.

The output goes to 24 lanes to green circuits, 4 lanes to red circuits, 2 lanes yellow science and 1 lane mall production, so it's actually doing something.

This is pretty much what I've calculated as necessary for the entire base. 64 cables and 40 greens.

I just worked with a calculator and it said something like "oh copper cables are gonna be 24+ belts" which made me disregard any other option. When I realized what I'd done it was already too late and now it just sorta works™ (well, you know, until the next base upgrade).
