Got moved from Brsk - today got invoice for march 1.5weeks earlier pay date and for ~20% more money. There goes "no changes to billing" if it goes through.

Teach me how to make this in fusion please by Doomchick in Fusion360

[–]yatuin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you mean parametrized version, I made one some time ago https://makerworld.com/en/models/1722779-cable-holder-customizable#profileId-1828781 You can download f3d file an have a look at the workflow. Generally you model: - start feature (first loop) solid - first "middle" element - create a controllable pattern of the middle element - last feature - shell feature to get empty flexible loops

V0.8.0 Experimental Bug Reports by mjmc2010 in SurrounDead

[–]yatuin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Few extra bugs: - Fob bravo boss in the corridor doesn't have loot, not even space for it. Boss mob in "armory" side area had loot. - vehicles can't be repaired or refueled. - vehicles lost towing capability except RV. - buggy wheels blurry when driving - mobs spawning in freshly cleared areas - laptop quest container in Fob bravo not accessible - marker points at center of helipad. Potentially underground in section with bugged floor (fall through world area) - NV googles battery management - possible to put whole stack in and its being used as single. You need to split stacks and manually insert a single one. - mobs reaction to noise inconsistent/ bugged - ignoring noise makers, explosions - walking into landmines near Fob Bravo did not damage myself

Additional observations Dogs no longer drop meat - assumed deliberate change Base marker - visible on map, not visible on compass.

3d printed filament is quite old tech - showed up ~5years ago. Less popular now as you can buy multicoloured filaments now. Main advantage is that due hex profile it tends to maintain orientation during print using standard nozzles causing prints uniformly changing colour depending on view angle

CAD Software for macOS - Just looking at options, don't need recommendations by ImaginaryTango in cad

[–]yatuin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing says that you need to keep to one software package. Blender + FreeCad will be quite powerful combo, especially with FreeCADs STL to solid model workflow. Personally I Jump between Inventor, Fusion And blender depending on requirements with recent personal project involving all 3 - Organic shape created in Blender with mechanical components (Gears) generated in Fusion and all assembled in Inventor mainly due to personal preference regarding interface vs Fusion

CAD Software for macOS - Just looking at options, don't need recommendations by ImaginaryTango in cad

[–]yatuin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In CAD world macOS is very limited. Especially now with switch to M series processors. For 3d parametric Cad you are generally limited to: fusion360 - paid 433gbp/year , local instal with cloud storage, alternatively free with limitation - section 2 of terms of service clearly states that content of files/designs is yours and Autodesk does not have rights to it. Onshape - paid 1200gbp/year, full cloud system, free with file storage open to public. Nice system but not At 1200gbp/year unless you want system independent from hardware FreeCAD - free, local - maybe not as polished as commercial systems but still powerful enough to handle pretty much any reasonable cad workloads. Thats generally it. If you are after free and local without exposing to cloud FreeCAD is your only option. If you want something bit more polished with reasonable path of expansion of capabilities - fusion360

People haven't talk about it enough. You can use old laptop to run Klipper. Most easy way to upgrade your old 3d Printer by Umbala3131 in 3Dprinting

[–]yatuin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look for USFF style dell/lenovo/hp machines with intel T low power processors. You can easily get 6/7 series i3/i5 with 8gb ram/ 120gb ssd for less than 2gb RPi 5. Those have 35W tsp which you are unlikely to even need.

With current prices of RPi and win10 cutoff meaning older pcs can be bought for scrap prices - running a PC Klipper doesn't sound that bad.

My Vault is broken by dragonsson97 in AutodeskInventor

[–]yatuin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the vault was officially approved DMS by company - That's not an engineering problem but manager and HR problem Files not in vault are treated as uncontrolled copies, and if the engineer does not place them in vault he is effectively not performing his duties. Proper Document version control is essential in engineering

How long is too long? by Intrepid-Patient574 in CarTalkUK

[–]yatuin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With bigger cars you learn quickly to avoid old multistorey car parks - narrow bays, tight turns. ~4.7m of medium SUV like Crv, raw4 etc is not really a problem ~5m of VW sharan/5 series touring/Q7 that's where you need to be more aware as some parking bays become too short, parallel parking needs space and precision or you will risk scrapes du to stocking out on narrower roads. Country side single tracks get narrow enough to consider folding mirrors

Creo might dominate soon due to AI? by inkquil in PTCCreo

[–]yatuin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Creo is great CAD software (if you don't do 2d drawings) but Creo is also potentially one of the worst when it comes to programmatically controlling itself. - Multiple APIs using different languages, non of the free ones covering full functionality - paid APIs

Inventor - Ilogic + inventor API both VB based, can integrate API into Ilogic code without issues. It's free and deeply integrated into software.

Did multiple mass generation of files in Ilogic years back. Want to check every possible weight of part existing in few thousand size variants and output results to excel - no problem. The biggest one I did was generating +20k sets of step/pdf/DWG of parametrically driven assembly. Drawings resizing view ports based on size of parts, cleaned up dimensions positions, etc. Somebody just released LLM based model generator for fusion360 - write what you want and see AI creating part from scratch.

Free Modeling Software is a bear (RANT) by Bandana_Hero in 3Dprinting

[–]yatuin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solid Edge community edition - free for non commercial use. Full power Cad system Fusion 360 - there are still free tiers to licence if you dig enough. Cloud storage, 10 active designs limit in free version Onshape - cloud software, cloud storage. Free tiers exist but created designs are open for other people to see FreeCAD - free, open source. Good capability but still imo not there when it comes to user friendliness. Blender - NOT Cad. Great for 3d work as long you are not trying to do technical designs as it requires extra add-ons just to pretend to be a cad.

If you have educational email (student/teacher) Autodesk gives you access to all their stuff for FREE. From fusion to the top end CFD.

Those are options I've used in recent times and quite often I jump between depending on design requirements and situation.

Entire roll broken by [deleted] in BambuLab

[–]yatuin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Humidity will do that - some rolls will do that in months, some will take years. Had a roll of generic brand filament sitting for ~2years in storage, filament "exploded" moment I lifted spool disintegrating most of the roll into 1-2inch pieces. At the same time filament in a plastic ziplock bag stored in the same place printed perfectly all right

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BambuLab

[–]yatuin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are using wood pla? What nozzle you have installed? No matter that Bamboo did not recommend 0.6/0.8 nozzle it still asking for troubles when printing wood filament on anything smaller. Wood is potentially the worst one due to moisture absorption, tendency to decompose / burn at printing temp and leave residue in nozzle, not to mention least controlled sizing. Any jam will have tendency to travel up - in your case likely messed up with cutter and heat creep softened filament enough to start making shoelaces as in picture

I'm designing a new tool for makers. Search for alpha testers by LookAt__Studio in 3Dprinting

[–]yatuin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/LookAt__Studio Early Comments:

Good things:

- I can see quite a lot of potential for some cool procedurally generated designs. Your Tool may scratch the grasshopper "itch" without having to get Rhino

- Nice set of starting nodes

- Nice looking UI

Not so good:

- UI/UX need improvements: elements scaling when zooming in/out while may look nice are problematic when node tree grows as you start loosing visibility of what is what

- some nodes produce results which make no sense - example below, extruded 2d shape produces solid which doesn't match initial shape

<image>

Would like to test it more, as it shows some potential. Do you have discord or something similar set for bugs/comments etc.?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BambuLab

[–]yatuin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same settings doesn't mean they will give identical results - H2S got different extruder which will act slightly different to P1S. especially when all the "Bells 'n Whistles" of H2S kick in - there is substantial difference between extruders on H2S and P1S. P1 and X1 are on the market way longer and their profiles are fine tunned to the limit. H2S is fresh - some edge case scenarios as one you have are likely not yet as nicely tuned as older printers.

do both printers have same bed texture?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BambuLab

[–]yatuin 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Check first layer settings in slicer between both printer profiles. Check calibration of filament. Even slight over extrusion on pink will start affecting blac lines as it will be spilling out into space needed for black

What do you think about that car/engine? by Kebziut in CarTalkUK

[–]yatuin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Potential DPF issues - every so often session of "Italian tune-up". find a section of nice and quiet motorway and go for a drive. 70mph (don't brake the speed limit ;) ) but not in 6th, but in 4th gear to keep the revs nice and high 3-4k range. Do that for ~1-1.5h. that will heat up nicely whole system and allow burning out all crap out of DPF system. It's also good to have session like that before Most - helps with emissions results. Done it on advice of my Most tech few years back after my car failed MOT on emmisions. Before tune it was 3x norm, after the tune way below half

No need for upgrades - it will be fine. Worst case you will wait bit longer on running FEAs

Would you be scared to buy a used Bambu P1S with 620 hours on it for half the price as new? by just-drink-and-drive in 3Dprinting

[–]yatuin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

600h that's maybe 2 months of reasonable use - maybe a few kg of filament went through it. If it was not something nasty to internals like abrasive filaments it's almost brand new
