- Comment on Castlevania Anniversary Collection free on Epic Games through 2024-11-21 1 week ago:
There was something in the manual if I remember correctly. Which you wouldn’t necessarily have if you rented the game.

Wouldn’t this be equally offset by the increase in inertia from their masses?
- Comment on Westloki – 3D printed bicycle belt drive conversion (solid continuous loop belt on an unbroken bike frame) 3 weeks ago:
Sounds like the perfect thing to test and iterate and then use that to have something machined in metal.
Of course with some stronger materials it may be fine. But how resilient will the belts be from the tension/stress and is there any risk of injury when they snap?

Klipper is a different beast but once you get it going it’s leaps and bounds ahead.
No more compiling and editing firmware. Since the Klipper firmware itself is built and deployed to the board so the logic of what features, pins, etc can be controlled by your pi.
E.g. the board is no longer the “brains” of the printer but the brain stem. Where the brain (the pi) tells it on pin A “tell this stepper motor to turn this”, on pin J “tell the heater to cycle on” etc.
Basically you download Klipper, look at a printer.cfg for the board you have, and then just use that as a starting point.
The real power comes from having the option to use macros for things like START_PRINT and END_PRINT.
For example, when I added a Nevermore fan on an skr mini e3v3 board I just had to wire it, find the “pins for the plug” on the board and then add the necessary config change.
Didn’t work? Comment it out and restart firmware and you’re no worse than it not being there. Adjust, restart, and go.
So where I’d avoid a marlin update because of the hassle of building and updating I now just check for updates, ssh in and build it with a command and update the board over USB.
And that’s just to update the Klipper firmware on the board for whatever fixes/changes are needed for Klipper. For things like new macros or existing items changed around you just update the config and “restart” and it does the rest.

So… they agitate material using sound to increase the volume of chemicals to smell?

Right. It looks so smooth.
- Comment on Why won't this slice? 4 weeks ago:
Can even use cylinders to group some circular parts of the model together naturally so that the “glue” points are at the bottom inside the walls where they’re not obvious
- Comment on If a planet was completely covered in water, wouldn't it all be freshwater? 4 weeks ago:
I was thinking of the term salinity.
- Comment on If a planet was completely covered in water, wouldn't it all be freshwater? 4 weeks ago:
There’s also heat exchange so you’ll have deep sea vents where there could be all kinds of caustic stuff and/or minerals.
So it wouldn’t necessarily be fresh even if that stuff wasn’t saline

Here’s an even more magnified view of the perfectly smooth paper.
- Comment on Magic Mineral 5 weeks ago:
It’s supposed to be it tends to get brittle and fracture creating airborne shards that you can breath in but your body can’t break down and that continuously damages the cells leading to cancer.
- Comment on Magic Mineral 5 weeks ago:
Seriously, except for the horrific issues with the stuff, it would be an essential material for various applications.
Its resistance to fire, heat transfer, etc would do wonders for insulation and construction.

The Star Trek movie vibes are strong with this one.
- Comment on Added LED's to a clear bag 1 month ago:
What about facing the remote downwards so its profile doesn’t block as much light?
Or is that unpractical for some reason?
- Comment on Horse-flippers? Have any horses from history, ever been fitted with horseshoes that improve their ability to swim? 1 month ago:
And the movement they make doesn’t benefit from slippers.
Humans can shift their body forward and kick their legs which flippers can amplify.

That’s a great summary. I’ve really enjoyed all of his books.
I can’t wait for December 6th when Wind and Truth releases.
I’m finishing a reread of the Stormlight Archive now.

And the powers, as in all the cosmere series, has limits which balances it out.
No endless pushes, flying, etc. every world has some resources or constraint so you’re not left with a “Superman” kind of scenario.

As an example
The Mistborn era 1 (books 1-3) are fantasty magic Mistborn era 2 (books 4-7) occur hundreds of years later in that worlds “industrial/steam” age.
So, for example, some allomancers can push or pull on metals. In Era 1 that’s used for combat but also for rapid movement. An allomancer can fall from a wall, throw a coin and “push” off of it causing them to bounce forward and upwards. As they’re starting to reach the azimuth they “pull” the coin, catch it and repeat.
They also “throw” and then “push” coins or metal fragments like shrapnel.
In Era 2. A sheriff (who’s an allomancer) leaps across a gully, aims and shoots a bullet into a wooden crate and then “pushes” on it to cross it.
Another time during a shootout one “pushes” gunfire away so it deflects around him. Not guaranteed to get all of the bullets but useful in situations like that.
There are other uses and other allomantic abilities but the entire shift of the format was just done phenomenally.
Can’t recommend the Mistborn series enough
- Comment on Preparations for halloween with my biggest print yet 1 month ago:
I find skirts useful to make sure I’ve got consistent flow before it starts printing the object.
This way there isn’t oozing or a delay from a previous retraction. A good purge, as you say, to get primed and ready to go.

And as an extra aside be careful not to put pressure on the edge where it’s apt to fracture and break.

Looks kind of like this. They suggest replacing the uchannel with clamping braces instead

So… public shopping post Covid? So many people act “feral” now.
I wish this amalgamation of various shoppers was pure fiction and not almost the norm now.
What do you mean my snarling uncontrolled dog can’t urinate in the cart at the checkout line? And where’s that cashier? Why do I have to wait? Don’t they know I have to get back before Olsteen’s special service comes on? Their kind are so lazy… why doesn’t anybody do their jobs anymore!?!

- Comment on Could use some help. 1 month ago:
I thought I’d add that it looks like it’s overextruded. So much that the filament is being “pushed” out and curling back around the nozzle.
It could be the e steps, flow rate, etc but it could also be that your Z offset needs to be adjusted back away a smidge.
That could be part of the inconsistent print since the tool head movement over one section of the bed vs another may be affected by the layer below based on how the filament curled there.
- Comment on Why is space 2 dimensional? 1 month ago:
It’s like how the earth bulges out at the equator.
The momentum pulls them out, gravity pulls it back. Similar thing at the solar and galactic planes.
They “bulge” relatively to the spin of the material over time and the clumps of material then forms planets along that general plane.
