I like knitting, math, and uplifting the proletariat.

Old account: @MxRemy@lemmy.one (if lemmy.one hasn't died yet)

  • Our makerspace shreds it all (by type of course) into flakes, but doesn't have a use for those yet unfortunately... The handful of companies recycling it are too far away. However, at some point we want to pick up an injection molding machine for it, when we have the funds.

    That is, except for the PHA (Polyhydroxyalkanoates), I just take that home and compost it.

  • Update: Ordered/printed all the parts to make this conversion! I appreciate everybody's comments and suggestions on how to move away from TAP/towards eddy in a more economical fashion though. Ultimately you all will probably end up being right and we will regret it, but I think it's worth a shot at least. I'll let you know how it goes!

  • Ok now I've sunk an hour or so into learning about it, and I'm just about sold on trying it out lol

  • !shavian@lemmy.world

    Whoa that's a neat idea! I assume if it ever caught on, English would eventually drift away from this being phonetic over like a hundred years or whatever, right? But if English were at all reasonable we could also just occasionally hold conferences to update it too

  • That CNC option is looking very appealing. Particularly considering that the TAP carriage isn't all that different from the stock SB one and I hate it lol

  • Oh geez! That's definitely ominous... I woulda opted for the Beacon in the first place, but AFAIK it doesn't do CANbus, right? When did you get your carto? Really hope they ironed out the problems since then!

  • That would definitely be less work and money, true... Just reprint the normal StealthBurner carriage I guess? Does that have a mount for eddy probes?

  • 3DPrinting @lemmy.world

    Switching out most of the toolhead stack on a Voron 2.4, anybody know if these options work together?

  • Omg you're right!! I didn't think about that at all... It'd be difficult but certainly doable.

    You could reverse it so the socket is on the screw instead, but then it might be slightly more obvious that it is a screw. Also nobody makes those, to my knowledge.

  • Well I'm definitely sold, that sounds awesome!

  • Right?! And yet AFAIK there is exactly one (now defunct) company who ever used them. I guess it's time to be the change we want to see in the world 😈

  • No mention of Oval drive? As much as I normally hate security fasteners, I love those for being hilarious. At first glance it appears roughly circular, you'd be like "well this is a nail, or a rivet or something". But no, actually you can unscrew it!

  • I'm naively assuming that the most relevant features are surface area, corner angle, and taper, is that right? And what I want in a drive is obviously that it won't strip, but also that it won't cam out/slip. Supposedly camming out is a "feature" to prevent something or other, but I exclusively use hand tools so it's mostly just an annoyance really. What I don't know is, how do those 3 features affect strippage and slippage? What makes Robertson better at that?

  • Wow, I've never seen what it looks like this old! I almost woulda guessed it was some other mushroom entirely.

  • The antlers are looking particularly eldritch too

  • It's mindboggling how it got this way, the shoe makers seem like they make ballet shoes by coincidence! Nome of them have ever even been there lolll

  • I've been using a SearXNG randomizer, but most of the instances it passes to are kinda broken, sadly... It'd be really really cool if this thingy let you randomize across a selection of instances. It's already super cool, but that'd be like mindblowingly cool

  • Omg, this is extremely timely for me, thanks!

    The computers l let my patrons use at work are too old for windows 11. They'll riot if I keep trying to make them use Linux (I know, whhyyyy...), so my plan was to set up ephemeral windows qemu VMs with gpu pass through. But that's all over my head, so this'll help a lot.

  • I think the stuff i post is pretty neat... Ben Glish is on there now too, that's cool!

  • I love GIMP in general, and I usually don't mind learning new layouts and workflows and stuff. However, I am perplexed by GIMP's default keyboard shortcuts. Like, shift-B for bucket fill, because they needed B for... paths? Scale is shift-T because they needed shift-S for shear of all things? Is shear a way bigger part of your everyday workload than scale? Also 3 different keys is entirely too many for the "Fit image in window" and "select none" shortcuts, I use those all the time.

    I'm just picking for fun though, GIMP is awesome and nothing could make me go back to Adobe lol
