[Movie] The Running Man
  • What I love about this movie is that despite the dystopian society, the writers still have an optimistic (naive?) take on things. IIRC once the news reporter gets the evidence and the truth comes out, the evil corporation is somehow thwarted.

  • There is an RGB led in the lower right, so yes if you program it to! I didn’t make provisions for battery power on this one though so it’s not meant to light up while worn. The unpopulated spot in the upper right is for the microcontroller. My wife preferred the look of the processor missing so I didn’t solder one down on hers.

  • Boards are fiberglass at their core so most cutting tools work just fine—hacksaw, jigsaw, dremel, bandsaw. It’s abrasive though so a note of caution that it will wear out cutters quicker

  • It’s kind of like a microprocessor development board—there are a few different circuits to play with that are connected to the processor. So ultimately it won’t do anything unless you stick some code inside

    Made these for my wife :) She drew the board shape and asked me to make it look like a circuit board. Everything on there is actually functional because I couldn’t bring myself to put down random components.

    Upgrading from Cura 4.12 to 5.6 no longer heats extruders or bed
  • The way that the heaters turn on and off is by using a gcode command. So my first thought is that somehow the new slicing profile is not spitting out those commands. Try comparing the generated gcode from slicing the same model in both versions and see what’s different. The temperature commands have to be at the start so should be easy to find. The gcode commands themselves are very googleable.

    INT. KLINGON QUARTERS - DAY

    Gowron, the fierce Klingon leader, stands before an easel with a paintbrush in hand. Worf, the stoic Klingon warrior, reluctantly joins him.

    GOWRON (roaring) Today, Worf! We paint the glory of battle, the splatter of blood on our blades!

    Worf scowls but follows Gowron's lead, dipping his brush into the vibrant red paint.

    GOWRON (CONT'D) (roaring) Now, Worf, let the brush roar like a disruptor, leaving chaos in its wake!

    Worf hesitates, then starts applying the paint with a fierce stroke.

    GOWRON (CONT'D) (roaring) Excellent! Let the canvas be a battleground, where each stroke is a strike against our enemies!

    Gowron continues with his Klingon interpretation of Bob Ross's techniques, creating a chaotic masterpiece. Worf struggles to keep up.

    WORF (grumbling) This is not the way of warriors, Gowron. We do not paint. We conquer!

    GOWRON (roaring with laughter) But, Worf! Conquer your canvas, let the colors scream like a victorious war cry!

    Worf grumbles, attempting to make his battlefield scene more ferocious.

    GOWRON (CONT'D) (roaring) Remember, Worf! Each brushstroke is like the roar of a targ, wild and untamed!

    Worf, frustrated, accidentally smears paint across his forehead while brushing his hair back. Gowron bursts into laughter.

    GOWRON (CONT'D) (roaring with laughter) See, Worf? Even the mishaps become battle scars on the canvas!

    Worf glares at Gowron, the painting resembling a chaotic battle scene mixed with unintentional comic elements.

    WORF (displeased) This is not the Klingon way, Gowron.

    GOWRON (grinning) (roaring) Ah, but Worf! Sometimes, the true warrior finds honor in unexpected places. Art knows no limits!

  • Absolute beginner with questions
  • Before you go the octoprint or other hosted app route, I humbly suggest printing from the SD card while you learn the process engineering to get prints to come out decent. This reduces the number of things you have to learn at once, and the points of failure. The workflow is then simply: (1) acquire or design the model (STL file). (2) slice it (generate .gcode file) and copy to sd card. (3) use the touchscreen to run the gcode file.

    You’ll spend most of your fiddling on step 2 since you need to learn what temperatures and speeds work well.

  • What resin printer should I get?

    I’ve been doing 3d printing with PLA/PETG/ABS for about 10 years and I’m looking to try resin. I’m not all that familiar with the workflow besides knowing it’s UV cured. Is all curing done in the same machine? What are the reputable brands? What kind of build volumes are available?
