I'm a freedom loving, gun-toting, pro free speech Canadian transwoman. And shitduchess. I'm a Voluntaryist, :ablobminarchist: as well as an ethical and political philosopher. I'm transsex, but I'm really not part of the LGBT community as they hate libertarians. I love technology, and am a unrepentant geek. This account focuses mostly on politics, philosophy and shitposting. LGBT stuff goes on my account on freethinkers.lgbt, linked below. Both my accounts talk about Linux and Tech! Militant Archlinux Zealot :blobinlove: :archlinux: VR Gaming Nerd :blobvr: I own a Pimax 8k X, Index and a Quest 2. If you block me or my instance you are a transphobe. :blobwink: #nobot
OK. Earlier when I was trying to figure out how I renamed this one network device, I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out how I did it. Well I figured it out. The option ONLY appears on mobile. No wonder I couldn't find it. :blobwaitwhat:
The Creality V3 SE built, and on its maiden print. I liked my V2 Neo but this little guy is so much nicer to work on so far. And uh, like way faster. And I can make it go double pretty easily from what I've heard. I'll see how the first print goes. image
My new printer is in Canada and I think it cleared customs? The shipper is weird and oddly Chinese-y for a last-mile courier, so its hard to make sense of their tracking page. But it should arrive next week, I think, since its just one province over. Looking forward to checking this thing out. I'm thinking I might convert my existing Ender 3 v2 Neo to focus on obnoxious materials with a hardened steel nozzle and a glass bed.
My smartplug arrived. Works like a charm, integrates perfectly into Octoprint. Very cool. Yup, that's it. Everything I need all done and ready. Until the new printer arrives.
Now that I've bought a 3D printer, the new model has come out. Right on schedule. Oh and its cheaper, lovely.
Speaking of 3d printing. I've got a few stl files that I need to find a way to modify, but I have a problem with any kind of 3d modelling type stuff, and this is compounded greatly by my requirement to fit a real world measurement quite precisely. Specifically, I've got a set of panels that are held in place by magnets, but the shape of the magnets is an unusual pill shape that's hard (impossible) to get. I'd like to convert them to the easily and cheaply available round magnets. I haven't even the faintest idea how this could be done.
The hell weekend is over. I'm so fucking exhausted. At least I can take comfort in the fact that my hard work covering for my recently quit coworker will be unappreciated and unrewarded. Today, a few minor missing bits for my 3d printer setup should arrive, and tomorrow, my rather nice enclosure will show up. I've been waiting on these heat sinks for what feels like forever, but today is the day!
3D / mesh / cad software is the bane of my existence, something about it confounds me terribly, and I can never even begin to understand what the interfaces could possibly want from me. Even something incredibly simple absolutely confuses me, why does literally nothing behave in a way that makes sense? It's all so alien and bizarre, with zero logic or order or reason to any of it that I can detect at all. There are so many buttons, yet, not a single one of them ever does anything I could imagine anyone could ever want to do. This is the part of 3d printing that rapidly stops being fun.
