That's really awesome. But your power setup is very unusual. Few have solar with full battery power storage.

You are throwing away 3 watts/hr because you can afford it while ignoring the tiny environmental damage it causes.

In physics, the word observation means an interaction. An observation in physics does not mean a human with an arbitrary level of intelligence.

I bet you throw your trash onto the street too. "It's just one plastic cup. One plastic cup doesn't matter."

Practically no power isn't 0. It's up to 3watts. For comparison a Pixel 10 at 100% CPU is 6.5 watts.

When the cat observes the experiment by not dying, it collapses from the cat's point of view.

If an interaction occurs it collapses for all points of view. The geiger counter is the observer.

So only scientists capable of observing create the entire universe from moment to moment? People who are extraordinarily stupid or just sleeping don't independently exist?

Telsa sales are up in Europe. People already forgot.

So at what point in human evolution was one human conscious enough to have the first observation and therefore spring quantum mechanics into existence in the universe?

I think we all understand the joke is that the eyes represent the endpoint of the observation apparatus. That is the first panel is isolated and the second panel has a detector measuring the path that the scientist then looks at.

So yeah, "eyes" don't cause a waveform collapse. But how does a two panel cartoon with no words represent no interaction? First panel is blank?

Neither the writer nor the director is a problem. The problem is studio interference. The Hobbit was written. Peter Jackson did a fantastic Lord of the Rings.

So we had a perfect story and the perfect director. But then the studio said, "We need The Hobbit to be two movies and it needs to be done in 6 months because we messed up the previous director and already planned on a specific release date."

Marjorie Taylor Greene is crazy to suggest Ivermectin because Pete Hegseth said germs aren't real.

 

I'd like to smooth some model prints and chemical is the only practical method (detail too small for sanding).

Are there any ABS or ASA filaments that look silverish like Pla silk? I do want to waste money on another grey spool.

 

I'm working on some models and have found that if I add an SVG modifier, Orca slices it beautifully. But I'd rather have the SVG's "baked" in the model so it's easier for others to download and freely share the STLs and print without a 3mf.

The problem is that if I put SVG image in Fusion and then export the model, when Orca renders the G-code, the quality is poor to bad. The same SVG added in Orca looks great.

STL with decal built into the STL geometry in Orca:

STL in Orca after "Preview" so you can see the layer lines:

The same file but applying the SVG as a modifier instead of it being part of the imported STL.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could get an STL to have the same quality as using a modifier? Or maybe a way to go backwards from gcode to STL so that I can share the higher quality version that Orca creates?

 

I've been pricing out components for my first new build in 20 years. (I've bought many ebay servers and a few mini PCs in between).

The parts are around $2k. But then I look at the amd ai max+ 395 PCs that are out or coming out shortly and I think I might be buying an already obsolete platform. For the same price I'd get 16 cores and over 2x the memory bandwidth.

 

I've made some prints fit in my printer by printing them at a diagonal. I work it out by spinning it until I don't get an error from the slicer.

I'd rather be able to calculate exactly what will fit beforehand instead of spinning the model around in CAD or the slicer.

Has anyone found/used a calculator that can do this?

 

"Emmitsburg Mayor Frank Davis voted for Donald Trump in hopes he would cut federal spending. Now Davis hopes those cuts don't include the permanent cancellation of classes at the National Fire Academy, which is part of the town's identity and helps drive its economy. Davis is also a chief at Emmitsburg's firehouse, known as the Vigilant Hose Company."

Trump killed the Fema training academy. It's not coming back.
