- Comment on Scientists caution against charging electric vehicles at home overnight 16 hours ago:
You just need to avoid peak evening hours to avoid overloading the grid, and a timer set to start at 1am solves this perfectly fine.
- Comment on Scientists caution against charging electric vehicles at home overnight 17 hours ago:
Most drivers prefer plugging in at home or nearby, especially overnight. While this offers convenience, it creates problems for the power grid, which is already under stress during peak evening hours.
Wildly misleading title. Overnight charging doesn’t pose a problem, charging in the evening may pose a problem. All EVs today have scheduled charging so you can plug it in when you get home but it won’t charge until nighttime where load and price are low. This is a non-issue, it has already been solved for everyone but the most dense idiot consumers.

In what world is a pair of scissors even remotely comparable to a razor!?
Have you ever tried trimming a beard with a pair of scissors? It’s ridiculously hard to do well yourself (I’ve tried). It’ll look like shit and take ten times as long as a good electric trimmer (which will also last you many years)
- Comment on Philips debuts 3D printable components to repair products 1 day ago:
They’re less than useless for anyone that doesn’t do a full clean shave. These guards are for trimming the length of tbe beard, not remove all of it.
- Comment on Tesla confirms it has given up on its Cybertruck range extender to achieve promised range 6 days ago:
two motors (why even)
To have mechanically independent FWD and RWD, this is actually pretty standard for all AWD BEVs and not just Tesla.
- Comment on Civil disobedience earring/keychain set (requires bread tie) 1 week ago:
The people throwing these things tend to hit random things on the street they happen to be in rather than the actual fascists or their property more often than not. Protest, get rowdy and loud, try to change things…but fucking concentrate that shit on the people that deserve it and not just the random shit you see in front of you.

How fast are you printing? I’m very close to finally pulling the trigger on a 2.4, and would love a bump in speed. my current printer (Anycubic bedslinger with klipper) is printing PLA/ASA at 200mm/s with 6000mm/s2 accelerations and 300mm/s travel while retaining pretty good quality.
My biggest annoyances with my current printer is that despite the probed bedmesh (inductive probe) it doesn’t compensate properly on the first layer across the entire bed. There’s a 0.1mm difference between highest and lowest probed points, i would think this could easily be compensated for since it’s decently flat. But it always ends up with bad sections where it’s clearly not compensating correctly while others are perfect. I also always need to tweak Z-offset between powerdowns, which is a bit annoying since i usually need to restart the first print of the day at least once.

Then why ask which one if you haven’t watched it and think it’s trash? Just to publicly state that you hate it? Seems a bit weird…

- Comment on Any resources on using a 3D printer as a plotter cutter 2 weeks ago:
IME these multipurpose machines (especially the DIY ones) just end up causing frustration because they end up doing none of their tasks well.

All are tall models with shit efficiency.
- Comment on Slate, a no-nonsense EV pickup for $20k 2 weeks ago:
Yes, and yet it is still so very far from reality when it comes to BEVs. It’s fine when comparing cars because it’s a well defined standard, but it’s terrible at indicating actual range especially if you don’t live in dry warm climate.
- Comment on Slate, a no-nonsense EV pickup for $20k 2 weeks ago:
Yes exactly
- Comment on Slate, a no-nonsense EV pickup for $20k 2 weeks ago:
This truck is also a BEV, didn’t say it wasn’t. I’m saying go buy a BEV that’s not a truck and just has a tow hitch instead of this if you’re just commuting.
- Comment on Slate, a no-nonsense EV pickup for $20k 2 weeks ago:
Battery Electric Vehicle
- Comment on Slate, a no-nonsense EV pickup for $20k 2 weeks ago:
Don’t buy a truck if you’re just a daily commuter, that’s just plain dumb. Get a BEV with much better efficiency and a tow hitch for the occasional needs.
- Comment on Slate, a no-nonsense EV pickup for $20k 2 weeks ago:
That’s not 150 miles of actual driving range, it’s more like 75-100miles of actual range.

- Comment on China’s CATL claims to have overtaken BYD on 5-minute EV battery charging time 3 weeks ago:
There are charging stations with 40 chargers delivering +200kW each, they’re powered by HV lines directly to transformers located at the charging stations. But most (all?) BEVs are only near max charging power for a fairly short period of time, and full occupation is also not seen very often. These large stations (and smaller too) are managed by load sharing, so in the theoretical case that 40 cars arrive exactly at the same time with perfectly prepared battery temperature and SoC and all connect at exactly the same time, they will just be capped by the chargers so the station doesn’t exceed available power spec.
- Comment on The Most Printable 3D Printer Yet 3 weeks ago:
A 3D-printed data strip encodes instructions for the printer as holes in a plastic sheet, which open and close simple switches in the motor controller. These switches control the speed, direction, and duration of the motors’ movement, letting the data strip encode motion vectors.
LOL, he made a punch card controlled printer…that’s really awesome and fun use of old tech.

The EU also tariffs them heavily
Yes, to tip the scales back towards fair competition pricing by offsetting the subsidies the Chinese brands are getting from their government. It doesn’t fully offset it though, they’re still quite a lot cheaper than e.g. VW BEVs
- Comment on The magnetic printing plate shifted early in the print - or something else happened? 3 weeks ago:
Then they must have use some impossibly shitty magnets to be able to drag the plate sideways like that. I can literally drag my printer across the table only by the plate if I try to pull it off lengthwise instead of upwards.
- Comment on The magnetic printing plate shifted early in the print - or something else happened? 3 weeks ago:
It coupe also be the nozzle getting caught on something so the motor skipped a few steps, I’ve had that happen once before and it produces this exact outcome.
