nozzle condom

What the hell is that?

I think Orca bridges based on geometry, but I’ll have to check to be sure.

Otherwise I’d probably just rotate the part 45 degrees if you can fit it on the bed.

the primary limiter on my PLA speed is my cooling, I can’t cool well enough. I’ve managed to push it to 500mm/s with 10.000mm/s2 accelerations, but then my cooling is way too underpowered.

A lot less than in this application too. But I think that could actually be achievable, at least from some angles, in most printers. Biggest issue implementing it on a coreXY or coreXZ, as opposed to this one, is that you need 2 extra DOF on the extruder to utilise it properly and not just one.

Really cool, but this seems like it will be severely limited on printers that are not using a rotating bed and hinged only in one side. With that construction, speed and accuracy is definitely not going to be the best. Still, some amount of angling of the nozzle could provide some benefits to handling overhangs, even if its only 15-20 degrees.

I’ll give it 24h in the dryer before trying again then.

Yeah I’m having issues right now with material being super sticky and building up on the nozzle. after 30min of printing it has this blob of filament buildup on the nozzle which hits the print.

I do actually print from a dryer, but it has been stored in a non-sealing box for a while without silica, so maybe it’s just too wet. I’m just not hearing the usual crackling of wet filament at all.

The job post also notes that such a teleoperation center requires “building highly optimized low latency reliable data streaming over unreliable transports in the real world.” Tele-operators can be “transported” into the robotaxi via a “state-of-the-art VR rig,” it adds.

Oh man that’s pretty hilarious for “autonomous vehicles”

Tesla would not be the first robotaxi company to use this method. In fact, it’s an industry standard. It was previously reported that Cruise, the robotaxi company owned by General Motors, was employing remote human assistants to troubleshoot when its vehicles ran into trouble

Oh, so this is actually completely normal and should not be news worthy…

No? Mine defaults to “newest”

Depends on whether it’s first-on-top or last-on-top…hot/popular biases engagement in obscure ways we can’t see through, which often (always?) ends up favouring trolls and rage-bait.

Why do you think that sucks? Chronological order makes everything easier to use and navigate

The fact they make this the default is the issue… The first babysteps to enshitification has now begun.

Constantly turning it on/off will probably kill the disk faster than the power savings can make up for it, compared to just having it idle when not actively used.

Fair enough. But even if you don’t run on PV and actually do transcode 24/7/365, it’s still only 5€/month. They idle at around 1/3 to 1/2 that though, which is arguably better for the disk than being turned on/off all the time, so you still get the bulk of the savings while extending disk lifetime.

Sure it’s 100kWh in a year, so it’s a few bucks per month saved. But in reality it’s likely even less than half that saved, because the majority of the time it’s probably not under transcoding loads.

You’ve saved a whoopping 0.3kWh/day (assuming transcoding 24/7), that’s surprisingly little I would say.

We need more trees and green areas in cities to shade and cool them down, not more heat soaking open areas that heat them up!

What kind of printing (material, use-case etc.) do you think you’ll be doing, and what size do you want to be able to print?

Low-cost and no-hassle kind of work against each other here. Which is more important?

Not low-cost at all though
