  • Open a new blender project. From the drop down menus along the top, Select open, import, import STL, then find your first stl in the file explorer. Repeat this to import the second stl. Drag and rotate both objects until they’re lined up how you want them. Select both stls at the same time. Right click and select “merge”. Then in the drop down menus, find export, export as STL. Save it as your new STL. Open this new stl in your preferred slicer program, and you’re good to go!

    Have you looked up settings for this new resin? Or run calibration test prints with it? If you’re using the settings for the old resin with a different kind of resin it won’t be right. It looks like your exposure time is too low, the resin isn’t being cured enough at each layer so it’s not adhering. Bump up the exposure time a lot and see if anything comes out. Also bump support thickness and connection thickness up. You can see the supports not even making full connection with that spear in the photo.





  • I think you’re answering your own question here.

    Your blunt coworker has to explain himself or risks being taken as rude by people who don’t know him. You yourself couldn’t determine if he was being rude to you without some additional context.

    Without further context, you don’t know how to interpret an email that says where is my spreadsheet motherfucker.

    In both cases, you’re saying further social cues are needed to determine if someone you don’t know very well is being rude or not. Hence, why people emailing people they don’t know very well in a professional capacity include niceties to convey context and tone.








  • You can build a gaming PC for almost any budget. Literally, choose an amount of money you want to spend, and you can build up to that number. If you are really serious about building a PC for yourself, I will send you my old graphics card free of charge. It is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB. So you can save a hundred dollars right there on your first build.

    Check out pcpartspicker.com and mess around there. Here is a build I have slapped together for you for $800, not including the graphics card which I will give you for free. You should do some more research and choose your components more carefully, but I just put this together as an example of what you could do with $800. A monitor is included here. Hopefully you can scrounge a mouse and keyboard from an old computer, school, a friend, etc. One of the great things about building your own PC is that you can upgrade components throughout life and come across good deals.

    Maybe some other kind people on this Lemmy sub or elsewhere would donate other components for you to get started.

    Here is a sub filled with people who would help you build your first PC: https://lemmy.world/c/buildapc

    I was merely responding to the accusation that I was making a disingenuous argument by including the price of a TV in my cost estimation by pointing out that OP straight up said they would have to buy a TV to use a console.

    I don’t think I ever stated that everyone has to have the latest tech, and I don’t think my argument relies on such a premise to be persuasive.

    If you had taken the money you spent on a PS4 and bought a budget gaming PC, then took the money you spent on the deck to buy a new graphics card for that same PC, you’d have a system more powerful than the PS4 (or PS5) or the deck for the same cost.

  • I’m using a custom controller setup. Search for “mitsein’s very good ftl control scheme” or something similar to find my setup. I use the right track pad as the mouse, left trigger is pause, right trigger is right click, d-pad is weapons 1-4, left stick controls hyperdrive and ship menu, and the right side buttons control going to assigned stations. Takes some getting used to but I spent a lot of time perfecting it and it works well now.

    I find the track pad is best used with the pointer finger instead of the thumb. I like to play games like this by laying the device flat on a desk or in front of me lying on the couch and using my pointer finger without having to hold the device up with my hand at the same time.
