And just imagine, you can make a shitty gun for 20 bucks using parts from the local hardware store.

That’s hilarious, same hamper and the same broken handle!

There, I just have the one handle since most people probably won’t need multiple.

Here you go.

I’ll throw the stl up for you in a few hours.

I don’t own Facebook, so I doubt that.

I think the power was just out when you tried them.

The key to “AI” is having a human there to take algorithms and apply them to the right problems.

This is what most people don’t understand because many of the demos are quite impressive and narrowly tailored to prevent the fact from being obvious unless you know what you’re looking for.

COMPILE ERROR - LIBRARY CALCAREA.H DOES NOT EXIST

goddamnit you acid tripping LLM…

About 200 pounds.

Glad I could help! I know it’s really frustrating when you’re right at the 99% mark and it’s like “why isn’t this working?!”

I use a tevo tornado which is similar in many ways to an ender3 and added a direct drive extruder. I ended up needing to change the wiring for the stepper motor because it just sat there jerking around but not moving. I don’t recall if I used a meter to measure resistance or if I just swapped wires until I got it working but it prints perfectly today and has for years.

To do it I think I had to use a small screwdriver to push in the little barb that holds the pin in the connector (on some you can lift a little plastic tab on the connector to pull it out) then I could just push it back in place. Make sure you don’t disconnect your stepper while powered, it can toast your controller.

If you can get used to an open source tool like free cat, don’t let anyone here dissuade you from it. Something to be aware of with the closed source tools is that at any moment they can take them away. CAD tools like that are super expensive if there isn’t a free plan, and there’s every reason to believe that someday the free plan will go away.

I haven’t been able to wrap my head around freak out because just not that smart, but that doesn’t mean I don’t realize tinkercad can go away at any moment. It metaphorically keeps me up at night.

Really good point.

There’s always recalls going on, so it’s not indicative of anything when they happen.

I’ve had 3 newer cars from 3 brands in 3 countries, and all 3 had a recall of some kind. In each case they just bring it in and fix it…

Interesting thing about gasoline engines, they become more and less efficient when the temperature drops.

They become more efficient because the air being brought into the engine is denser and cooler which is better, but they become less efficient because rubber parts become stiffer, lubricant becomes harder to move, and overall everything is tougher to deal with.

One result is that if you drive long ranges in -40C, your fuel economy is relatively similar to what it would be in warmer weather. You can blast the heat and your vehicle is toasty warm since it’s just moving waste heat around. I’ve done such drives many times since resources are not where people tend to be.

As you approach -40 you’ll probably want to have your block heater plugged in overnight on a gasoline engine, but generally speaking you can get pretty cold and have the motor turn over just fine. I drove a diesel for a while in the far north and going back to a (really crappy) gas engine was surprising for how easy it was to just get up and go in really cold weather.

EV performance in -40C is something nobody talks about but I’m extremely interested in.

There have been lots of videos of Teslas leaving a heated garage then flying around a snowy track in Norway, but that’s much different than getting in a car that’s soaked in the cold all night, driving it to work, then driving home after it sits all day. Or even better, taking that same cold soaked car and driving to the next city 13 hours away with only one or two places to stop along the way.

Most people don’t know anything about Canada, even people who live there. Most Canadians live in one of two megacities. They’ve never been to lynn lake, meadow lake, fort McMurray, fort st. John, or pickle lake. The wealth is extracted from these places, but with 0 understanding of what the country is like, particularly in February.

It’s because the Liberals are about to lose badly because their policies are not sustainable.

People need home heating, transportation, food, and housing to not die. Those aren’t luxuries.
