Twitter just locked down, need an account to even view now. Reddit is filled with bots spamming posts from 5 years ago. People are flocking to wall-gardens like discord.

Might be the decline of the internet 🤷

Hard Drivin'?

I want one of the stick shift arcade machines so bad.

I'd like to help increase engagement here. I can tell we have tons of smart people subscribed to help the community with technical issues and the likes. So I'm thinking maybe we should have a game or computer of the month. Talk about what you have, what you're playing or maybe programming on.

What is everyone's thoughts?

Cheers Henry

Well, duh. That just means that 93-84% of Redditors are bots. Bots didn't know there was a shutdown, so those bots kept slamming reddit. So with that data I now can assume Reddit was only 7-16% human.

Hey everyone,

I just grabbed an AnyCubic 4Max Pro for insanely cheap. I had to swap out the hot end, it was bent. It seems the last owner had the Z limit switch incorrectly set so it was crashing.

So far it's printing fairly well. I need to do all the calibration and such, but for 'out of the box' it seems to be alright.

I've been reading up on the hardware itself and it seems to be fairly crippled due to the board AnyCubic used. An 8 bit board based on the Arduino Mega. I've see lots of pre-conpiled firmware for Marlin 2.0.x but they're usually filled with even more bugs than they solved. The board is called TriGorilla? Honestly I'm use to BTT and Crealitys boards.

Has anyone done a board swap on this? I saw the LCD is a hack job by AnyCubic since Marlin, maybe at the time?, Didn't support DWIN touch screens. I'd like to keep the stepper drivers, so maybe a board that has removable?

Thanks Henry

As long as you follow the community rules and abide by the licenses that the creators selected. Time and time again I see in local groups people selling others works. It's not cool to steal an STL and sell it if the creators license forbids it.

With that said, if you created and designed all your own, go for it!

I get it, it sucks. Saving sucks too.

Keep an eye out for deals and freebies, especially locally. I've seen Ender 3s go for $50 and sometimes free when the user gets frustrated.

Don't give up, save those pennies and keep hunting for deals.

Hey everyone,

I hope everyone is doing well and keeping safe.

I'm hoping I can rally some help with this Retro Computers Lemmy. Maybe 2 more mods to help?

Message me or leave a reply!

Cheers Henry

Both for sure. Maybe if the community grows beyond one Lemmy, then sure we can. But any 3d printing is welcome here!

Pretty nice.

Was using the bottle that came with my Creality Halot One, it was flesh colored. Tried a test with the basic AnyCubic. Came out better than the Creality by far.

Going to start bringing in these settings.

Hey,

So I want to use my Plus/4 but I don't want to kill it. I've read/heard that the Plus/4 will eventually off itself, the TED will die(?) So I'm scared to use the damn thing.

I got a bunch of tapes I want to play, but I don't want to damage the thing. What's the approach to ensure I don't cook the TED from just using it?

PS: Not power supply related. I have a Ray Carlsen multi PSU.

Its just helping you update.

Cheers

I just assumed that AAA are going to be online-only and jammed with macro-transactions.

COUGH Fallout76 COUGH GTA-Online

Yeah new cars usually have the ability to do that themselves and also usually do it when safe.

They auto start when power is needed or if the situation changes. Eg: touch the steering or gas pedal. Another example is my car will auto start it too many cars are around me.

Shutting your non-auto starting car off and then having an emergency happen could land your ass in trouble with insurance and the law. If you're on the road, your car should be running (unless it was designed this way). Of course people mentioned wear and tear, so that too.

Cheers -Henry

You're right it's tedious. Lots of precautions with handling and spills happen. The results are great, but failures suck.

Still going through my included bottle of resin, they sent me flesh color. This is my first venture into resin printing. Ive been FDM printing for years now, have a few Ender 3s.

Waiting on a new bottle of AnyCubic's HD grey :)

My bones hurt.

Honestly it was easier than I expected. I have a fairly new home and it has an HRV. I replaced it's paper filters with MERV 8. I also picked up an Air Gradient, slick little project.

I change my filters about everything 3 months, they get pretty gnarly. I filter the air on the way out with a basic screen because it passes over the blower and...by design it would get absolutely filthy in short order.

I made a bunch of "sensors" in HA to calculate the indoor AQI, and average.

Cheers.

Hi everyone,

I created Retro Computers to help grow a community here on Lemmy. I am excited to be part of a new growth and also a bit sad to see Reddit fall. I hope everyone enjoys their stay!

My Air Quality monitoring. I monitoring CO2, VOCs, PM and such. I then have automations run the air exchanger. They say air inside is 5X more polluted then outside I have the opposite.
