Very interesting. Thanks! I wonder if it could be used as an axis in a 3d printer

Not a big fan of Bezos though.

What brand do you use? Where do you buy? On what continent are you sitting?

I might, but first I would need to clean up the file a bit and make things a bit more parametric. The problem is that darts are all differently sized, it's difficult to make a case that fits all.

[–] callcc 2 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

It's a good idea but I'm sceptical about anything friction to hold the darts. The problem is that they have very sharp machined rings that make them very non-slippery to the fingers. I'm pretty sure those rings would file off anything they slide against very quickly.

The steel tip does not have this problem though, so adding some part that pushes against the tip might be the solution. Alternatively, i could also make the part that houses the flights be somehow spring loaded and squeeze them.

Man, I love PHA, at least the idea of it. I have an unopened roll of it lying around because I'm afraid to waste it. I'll give it a go on my next print. It's unfortunate that it's still hard to find and a bit expensive. All hail PHA!

Mostly me going fast and not doing things parametrically. Also incompatibility between different object types where I needed to create a Body from a Part to use it in a PartDesign Boolean.

It's great!!!!!

Yeah, I think I see what you mean. I'm very plastic conservative so I hope I can go without printing a second one, therefore the clip idea. Also the clip is a bit more practical better looking.

[–] callcc 5 points 4 weeks ago (7 children)

They fall out. For now I use a rubber band around the case but I don't like that solution too much. The initial idea was to put a rubber band around the "waist" so that they would be held there. Unfortunately the rubber then doesn't touch the dart. My current idea for a fix is to make a clip that pushes against that darts sideways through the holes.

This is fantastic! I have half assed plans of a similar design in FreeCAD lying around. I haven't come around building it yet. I'll surely take some inspiration here.

Thanks for the tip. The BME280 are also not too bad.

I'm writing a little plotting library for LCDs. I'll try to publish it once it's more polished. What do you think?

For now it supports reading data from a Vector, arbitrary scaling on both axes, linear interpolation, different point styles (square, circle), arbitrary many graphs.

The beans, salads, tomatoes and others are finally growing a bit quicker. With the fourth or fifth start of spring, I hope this time the temperatures keep staying up.

Tomatoes are still small but growing nicely.

The new raspberry bushes produce first red fruits.

Bonus: Happy chicken sharing some leftover melon.

I've used django CMS for a few projects and I'm quite happy with it. I've been wondering what wagtail has to offer that sets it apart from django CMS. I installed it some time ago but didn't dive very deep.

So what are the strengths and weaknesses of both systems?

Beans are coming! (lemmy.world)

After a cold and rainy start of spring, finally the beans are sprouting. We also have a bunch of tomatoes and brassicae.

Let's hope the abundant snails don't take too much.

First egg! (lemmy.world)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by callcc to c/[email protected]
 

We got a Tetra hen from a friend who can't keep it anymore yesterday. Fortunately we were looking to get a couple of chickens anyways, so we had purchased a used coop some weeks ago.

To our surprise, our cute new chicken, Clémentine gave us an egg already on the first morning. What a nice surprise.

Don't worry, we won't keep it alone for too long, we're looking to get one or two more friends.

The goblin and the shepherd (spritely.institute)

From the article

The great promise of Spritely Goblins is to make networking easier and safer. For the past few years, we've focused on developing a toolkit to facilitate this goal. Today, we're proud to announce an incredibly exciting project that will put this toolkit to the test in the largest real-world deployment of Spritely technology so far: a port of the GNU Shepherd system layer to Guile Goblins — the first step in making Guix the object-capability operating system!

 

Tomatoes, cucumbers, paprika, cannabis, brassicas, etc.

Stepper not moving (self.3dprinting)
submitted 1 year ago by callcc to c/3dprinting
 

I just got an old Ender 3 for cheap and wanted to replace the crappy extruder with a nicer bowden extruder of my (now) direct drive Kobra Max. When I connect the new stepper, nothing moves. It's a longer stepper and a different manufacturer. Is the wiring different or VREF wrong or are there other reasons why it wouldn't move? The driver is good, since the old stepper is still working.

Thanks for any help!

Daily cycling underwear (self.bikecommuting)
 

Hello fellow bike commuters,

I have the impression that my underwear doesn't last as long as it would without me cycling to and from work five times a week. My boxer briefs get holes too quickly between the legs. Since I can't remember a time where I didn't cycle, it's difficult for me to know if this is due to cycling or the normal way for them to die.

Can anyone here tell me about their experience? Is this related to cycling frequently? More importantly, do you know of special cyclist underwear which is not the sporty padded type but something you could wear all day and which would't rip so easily.

Has anyone thought about printing narrower lines in order to get sharper corners? Once Linear advance or Pressure advance is activated, you don't get bulging corners anymore... but can we do better?

Has this been implemented anywhere yet? Does it have a name?

Hey, I've recently designed a Poster about the FHS since I often forget where I should place or find things. Do you have any feedback how to make it better?
