  • Anyone having connectivity issues today?

    I'm getting random disconnects where i can't log in again today. Happened 3 times so far, and eventually it lets me login - I tried different gateways but they all seem to be having some issues. It cost me some good loot on the ground.

    Also, when i log back in, it has rolled back some things - like I was in my hideout and identified some things, crafted for a bit, then sold and stashed what i needed to. After i disconnected and was able to log in about 20 minutes later, My stuff was back to un-identified and i still had the stuff i put away back in my inventory. I'm wondering if there isn't some database stability issues or work being done. Either way, I'm not doing anything super risky right now.

    Possible bug, either way be careful!

    I was in the next to last room in trial 3 at the Trial of Sekhemas and i had exactly 91 honour left (lol). I decided to switch my weapon set to my stronger/more offense set, since 91 honour would one shot me at the boss regardless, and when i switched i dropped to 0 honour, but could still move. I went to the shrine to restore 500 honor, and instead, it killed me. Mo idea if that's a bug or what, but i was not happy. I expected it to restore honour, but apparently if you do what i did, it just kills you instead.

    Pretty sure I just bricked my Mk4 during the mk4s upgrade

    Long story short, I am not mechanically inclined. I want my shit to just work. Somehow I decided I would order the MK4S upgrade kit for the prusa MK4 that I have. It took me about 12 hours but I did the upgrade and turned it on only to find it wouldn't boot with a power panic error message.

    I tracked it down to a cable that got disconnected during all the upgrading, and when I went to push it back onto the board it bent the pins. When I tried to straighten them out the pens broke off and now I have a $2,000 paperweight on my desk.

    EDIT: Ok, i am now rested and calmed down, and no i will not be buying an X1C from the CCP Bambu. Support was indeed super cool, and i'd need to spend another 120 for a new xbuddy since mistakes like this are not under warranty. However, my dad is a lifelong hardware electronics pro, and he seemed to indicate this should be no sweat to fix, so we shall commit mad science before i just buy another one.

    Is there an official color palette with hex codes for the cosmic desktop?

    I ask because I maintain a VS code theme based on Pop OS and I'd like to support the new cosmic theme in addition to the older ones.

    I wrote a web front end for downloading Youtube videos, and i'd love some feedback

    Hi everyone, I decided there simply were not enough docker apps for downloading Youtube videos, and so I made the situation worse :p

    In all seriousness, I couldn't find one that fulfilled all my desires in a YT downloader, so I wrote my own in python using pytubefix and streamlit. It's still fairly rough, but it works, and i'd love to get your feedback. Installation is just a simple docker compose.

    yaml services: pytube-gui: container_name: pytube-gui image: artisanbytecrafter/pytube-gui:develop ports: - 8501:8501 volumes: - /path/to/downloads:/app/downloads # set to where you want downloads to go

    Please let me know if you run into any issues, or have any feedback. I do still have a long list :)

    Cosmic apps all freeze after latest update

    Hi all, I've been running the latest Pop_OS 22.04 LTS, and recently discovered all the new cosmic apps from the upcoming Cosmic DE. They are seriously impressive in both UI/UX and performance, but I got updates to all of the cosmic apps yesterday, and now when i try and launch any of them, they simply hard lock my computer, forcing a hard reboot to recover.

    I noticed a few recent reports of similar behavior over on Reddit, but Reddit 'tis a silly place, so I'm posting to Lemmy instead.

    Since I cannot copy/paste any errors, i took a picture and hand typed out what happens when i launch cosmic-store from a terminal. It appears to be a json-ish error.

    ERROR winit::platform_impl::platform] X11 error: XError { description: "BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)", error_code: 8, request_code: 149, minor_code: 4 ) os info: ```sh kernel: 6.9.3-76060903-generic

    distro: DISTRIB_ID=Pop DISTRIB_RELEASE=22.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=jammy DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS" ```

    There are no updates available via sudo apt update && apt upgrade as of time of this post, and this is from an xorg session. ```sh ~$ ps -e | grep -E '(Xorg|wayland)'

    Automatically launch f launcher after sleep

    Does anyone know if there's a way to launch f launcher instead of the shitty Google home screen when the unit resumes from sleep? I essentially want to make it where I never ever see the Google home screen ever

    I thought I would buy a 3 kg spool because lazy, don't be me.

    Just thought I would quickly share what can happen if you're not paying attention with a heavy mass spool if you're not careful. I have all my spools on a dowel rod attached to the top of my printer enclosure and fed through an opening in the top. Never had the slightest issue with 1 kg spools, and I thought I would save a little bit of money and time changing filament by trying a 3 kg spool. It spins perfectly fine without friction, but the much heavier mass is enough to cause it to have significant strain on the extruder pulling it in to the hot end. You can see in the result where I provided strain relief by hand while watching it print. !

    I think the universe is trying to tell me something about my e string bends

    In the span of 2 days, I've managed to break the E string on two of main jam guitars. Bad luck, or bad technique? I'm betting on the latter lol

    Sigh.

    Spotted this in a store today and promptly put my shit that I didn't need back on the shelf and walked out.

    Edit: it has been pointed out this sign is most likely ironic, in line with the companies schtick. I would counter that while that may be true, behind every good joke is a little bit of the truth. They mean this unironically also.

    PrusaSlicer - Need some quick help with prototype printing

    Hi everyone - I'm doing some prototyping on a part I'm designing. The final part will take up nearly the entire build plate, but for a test print, I'm using a negative modifier to remove 80% of the part, leaving only a sliver to print. The problem is that once sliced, the part left to be printed is way over on the edge of the build plate, and I'd rather it be in the center if possible. If I position it where the edge i want printed is in the middle, it of course complains that part of the file is off the build plate and won't let me slice, even though it's all being removed with the negative modifier. Any ideas on how to get it to cut the piece and still center it?

    Functional 3D Printing @kbin.social ArtVandelay @lemmy.world
    I made a simple sanding block for my own use.

    All the sanding blocks I have seen are the nut and bolt type, but i found myself wanting something more of just a ... block. No adjusting, loosening, tightening, moving, just wrap your sandpaper around an edge and go. So I spent 15 minutes in FreeCAD and made one. So far it's working great.

    In case anyone else wants it, or has feedback. https://www.printables.com/model/762884-simple-sanding-block

    For funsies, i designed and 3D printed a TS9 style light switch cover.

    I won't profess to be a design mastermind, but it was a fun process. I learned a lot and it was a lot of fun.

    Prusa MK4 with enclosure filament feeding

    I'm contemplating a Prusa MK4 + official enclosure and I'm looking at the way the enclosure handles filament feeding into the (N)extruder. Normally, filament is loaded directly from the spool into the extruder, but with the official enclosure, I see it's fed through a PTFE tube and coupler. It seems to me this would make changing filaments mid print quite a pain. Would I be ok simply feeding the filament into a PTFE tube, but cutting it way short of the extruder and simply feeding it in from there into the extruder without the tube?

    Question about Z screw coupler

    Hi all, I have a quick question about my z screw coupler (as i understand it, the metal cylinder at the bottom you can manually move your z axis up and down with).

    When I manually raise the z axis (with steppers disabled) by rotating the coupler clockwise, after I let it go, it reverses it's rotation on it's own and sinks back down. This is frustrating because it takes forever to actually move it any distance. Am i doing anything wrong? Should you only ever move the z axis with software, and if so, is there a way to fix the issue of it going back down? I don't know how to adjust the tightness of this part, I'm still pretty new.

    One month ago, I didn't really know what 3D printing was. Yesterday, I designed in FreeCAD my first model and printed it. What an amazing experience.

    I still have no idea what I'm doing really. Just too determined to give up I guess, and it's been such fun. Anyway I made a guitar pedal light switch cover. Still a lot of work to do, and every time I look at FreeCAD the wrong way, the model breaks, but it's been a fun experience nonetheless.

    On a side note, anybody have any idea why the face of the model is rough textured, while the foot switch on the lower half is flawless?

    An "almost" perfect first layer help

    Good morning friends! I'm still fairly new to 3D printing, although I'm learning a lot more to be dangerous now. I'm printing this part, and I have cleaned and leveled the bed, as I do before every print, and usually have very few issues. This time, my first layer went down almost perfect, with the exception of the bottom right corner being a little bit tight, but as you can see in the picture, every once in a while, I get exactly one line of it not adhering on the first layer. Subsequent layers all seem to lay down perfectly fine, so I'm suspecting bed adhesion, it's just weird that it's only in one single line. Anyone ever experienced issues like this, and seen a remedy?

    Issues with layer adhesion (i think)

    I'm a beginner 3D printing novice. I have done about 5-6 successful prints so far, and my last two have technically come out fine, but they seem very brittle. By brittle, i mean that both prints have snapped cleanly into several pieces, not by design. My extremely novice research has led me to think it's a layer adhesion issue - it is very cold here where I am right now, and I print in a non-climate controlled shed because of reasons. I do have an enclosure though, so i tried printing my PLA at 205 instead of 200, but same result. Is there a better way to correct prints snapping apart like that? I don't feel like i used any excessive force.
