Take-Two CEO: The idea that AI will make everyone unemployed is 'the stupidest thing I've ever heard'

Reply in thread

This is the exact opposite of my experience. We've been using codium in my org and 9/10 times it's garbage and they will not allow anything that is not on prem. I'm pretty consistently getting recommendations for methods that don't exist, invalid class names, things that look like the wrong language, etc. To get the recommendations I have to cancel out of auto complete, which is often times much better. It seems like it can make up for someone who doesn't have good workflows, shortcuts and a premium ide, but otherwise it's been a waste of time and money.

Do I *need* to learn a 3D modeling software?

I was in a simiar boat, but once I started learning it really took off and I couldn't find enough things to model/fix! I started with meshmixer, it's pretty simplified but still somewhat powerful and I think Windows only. Once I found stuff I couldn't do with it I switched to blender and now I'm much faster with it. I found there are some things each implements better so if having an issue I'll switch and try something else. I highly recommend picking one and watching youtube videos specific to what you want to change in a model

Edit: you may be able to get by on some of the connectors by lowering flow too, depends on how dialed in your printer is, everyone needs different tolerances

Developing a self-hosted alternative to Google Keep

I would love a replacement for keep. I'm currently running nextcloud and the UI differences or lack of android widgets are keeping my wife from switching. Most of of your list already has great replacements that exist but for some reason a keep competitor that is current just doesn't exist

Carnet is a nextcloud app that comes pretty close and but it needs a TON of TLC on the server side. I keep telling myself I'll work on it but life gets in the way. If you have time and know node/php I would suggest looking there instead of making yet another note app. Nextcloud can handle sharing and has some encryption stuff as other plugins etc. Otherwise keep posting here, I would love to follow your progress.

Spool Management for Klipper!

Oh hey I kinda helped get this started in a very round about way! Nice to see the fluid integration, maybe if I do the mainsail one, someone else will do it a better way lol. I've not been printing much lately but set spoolman up a while ago on the pi running my voron and it's been great.

Can I plug Nevermore filter where I circled?

Per https://help.prusa3d.com/article/xbuddy-and-loveboard-electronics-wiring-mk4_413095 it looks like you dont have any fan headers, you might be able to repurpose the unused ambient sensor header but no clue sorry. You might try splicing off the part or hotend fan? If you really wanted to use the dc input you might need a voltage step down buck converter or something depending on what your PSU is putting out

Why am I having to level my Ender 3 s1 after every print?

It could be a lot of things. Temperature is a big one, are you letting the bed heat up completely for a consistent amount of time before each print, could heat be impacting your measurements, some things measure different when heated a bit? You probably aren't printing enclosed, but my voron for example expands upwards almost an entire layer over the first hour of printing. Is there an intermittent air flow that could be impacting how hot your bed really is? Have you verified there is no slop or backlash in your z lead screws and connections? I had decent results on my sidewinder using POM anti backlash nuts. Same for the stability of your measuring tool. Have you checked that it's not z tilt from turning off the motors between prints?

Core One vs. Voron 2.4.

I went from a sidewinder x1 to a 300 2.4 and I love it. The built was a lot of work but it was extremely rewarding. Once you get it full set up it's consistent just load and print, but if you are not confident in your ability to tinker don't do it. I set up a custom webcam mount, a custom nozzle wiper modled after bambos, a nevermore filter and frame thermal expansion then invested a ton of time in start up scrips and now it's no work to print anything but it was a lot to get there. If you go this route skip the drag chains and go umbilical, that's my one regret.

Edit: also consider going 350, you lose a lot of z with mods etc, I would also have gone 350 instead sorry.

DuckDNS URL no longer working on home network?

Are you using your router as DNS and DHCP? With Verizon I had a security setting that was blocking public DNS entries to resolving to local addresses. I can't remember what it's called, but it's to prevent a certain type of attack. For a while I disabled it but switching to pihole as DNS, DHCP and using unbound solves it without the security implications

I can't compare it to the cad examples but meshmixer is definitely easier to use for small stl edits than blender, especially for things like cutting and keying parts. If you are just trying to make a pin smaller or hole larger, editing the xyz of specific points in blender may be easier depending on shape. Good luck!

FOSS alternative to Google Keep

Carnet on Nextcloud is currently the "closest" I've found but it needs a ton of TLC. Sharing notes currently only works on the dev build. I keep telling myself I'll fix it but can't find the time. If anyone wants some open source contributions the maintainer has asked for help
