So, fun issue those things can have: my Sovol SV07 Plus has one and it works great… or it did until the filament chewed through the plastic and made very awkward channels in and out of it. In itself no big deal, still goes through the sensor, but the issue is that it can be a bit too tight of a fit and get jammed. Like, HARD so you have to try pulling it both ways before it dislodges. It’s not a fun way for a print to fail. My workaround is to use a tiny bit of ptfe tube at the entrance, hot glued there so the filament will go straight. So far it’s been working.

Happy cake day!

I mean, the question was about importing settings, PEEK or PLA wouldn’t make a substantial difference in “there’s a menu a little out of sight this way, you also need to do this and that in Cura” and, given how Cura was the top dog for the last few years, one would think that the new hotness would have a way to easily get people to switch. I don’t know how challenging that is from a technical perspective, but evidently it’s enough to not make it worth it to the developers… anyway I copied the speed settings, saved the profile as “0.18 decent” and since I was there, connected Klipper too. Ready for testing.

That aside, wanting to find the simple way is different from lack of experience. I think I got that between putting together the aforementioned Ender 3, replacing the board with a SKR 3, and contextually adding a BLTouch, something that required editing and recompiling Marlin ;)

There IS a profile for my specific printer, it just feels made by a competing company as (not hyperbole) whatever they did make it slower than a first gen Ender 3. Tuning materials I don’t mind, but at least a working starting point?

Basically I would like to give Orca a fair try, and import my stuff because while Cura gives me quick, accurate print times… Orca gives me far slower and despairing optimistic times, so it really takes several times longer than it says. I have a Sovol SV07 Plus, and technically it looks like there are profiles but if the results are agonizingly slow…

I tried to import a 3mf and it happily ignored everything aside from the models.

What can I do?

Edit: I looked into this more, and the printer’s profile seems fine, it’s the presets that need all the speed values increased by nearly 10 times lol. Still confused about that, but hey. I found what’s wrong.

Some sweet 3D printing in action there. As far as I can tell, anything other than the action figures is 3D printed… I lack the patience (and potentially skill) to go through that lol, kudos!

Yeah, mine (that I didn’t scientifically measure but….) requires a hell of an effort to pull open using only my pinky. Obviously I don’t expect that mine is the only model on the market XD but that’s what I know

Not sure what kind of dishwasher we’re talking about, but I have a SwitchBot and it’s made to push buttons: it wouldn’t be anywhere near powerful enough to open a dishwasher (as I know them)

Sweet! I’m using ALVR, but options are more than welcome.

Look, I have a Mac, I like the ecosystem but have a handful of Linux machines (including my laptop) so I’m, ahem, not the average Mac user. You go in the App Store and enjoy whatever games are there. Or hear that on Steam they’re less expensive and go through that… then discover that there’s a boatload of Mac games that simply won’t work on your OS because they are 32 bit and Apple dropped support for that in 2019 (meaning that from 2019 no Mac, even Intel ones, can run those games). Then, there’s the Crossover option: a paid product that will allow you to install Steam for Windows and any game compatible with that platform. It’ll use GPTK for compatibility and it’s a big supporter of WINE, so a purchase helps open source…

But: how likely do you think that an Apple user will go that far off the beaten path?

Can we appreciate the beautiful 3D printed set? Lots of time must’ve gone into modeling and printing that!

 

I’ve been meaning to do this for a while now.

 

Because ohhhh, yeah, we’re finally getting the Star Trek event! https://modernarmor.worldoftanks.com/en/cms/news/star-trek-challenge/

 

I’ll start: a naked guy complaining to his host that there’s less light than advertised.

 

As per the title, you can just Side Quest the apk, open it, do the login, connect a Bluetooth controller and enjoy. It’s just a big screen, but it’s nice. Also very, very easy to do! I remember when doing this for Stadia it required fiddling a little and, crucially as it was before the support for Bluetooth controllers, Stadia was the only option because the controller was WiFi lol.

As a bonus you could install a browser (here’s my pick https://vivaldi.com/android/ ) and in the future just download apk with that.

 

You good folks produce so many memes that my phone now can recognize nearly the entire cast of all Star Trek…

 
 

I made the mistake of updating from 53 to 54 back when it dropped, and since then... let's say that if an activity involves the wifi, I am better off not doing it. Updating apps? lol no. Using the store? The video previews take over half a minute to start playing, and almost immediately stop to buffer again. AirLink / Virtual Desktop? Terrible, TERRIBLE idea. It's not my connection or the network hardware as I tested it on a different network and nothing changed. I've contacted support a few minutes ago, I doubt it will help.

 

As a noob this is likely me, but I tried to start a community on another server and I can't see the post (my other account used to make said community) made and set as english. Unless it's just me being a noob, that can't be good. A cursory look seems to confirm that I can't see anything aside from "Undetermined".
