There's definitely middle ground there, if you rock up to a tyre place near me they'll generally ask if you want a cheapo, mid range or premium tyre, you're welcome to preorder off the website or they'll get something for you if you have something in mind. Mom pootling around town in her 3 door euro hatch doesn't need a set of Toyos.

I will say, it never ceases to amaze me the sheer number of no-name Chinese tyre brands that exist. I must've put 30 different brands of cheap tyres on cars over the years.

I see the issue, it just isn't with me.

This seems utterly detached from reality. From experience the theory behind times tables are taught at length then the tables are memorised for quick recall during utilisation.

This is already my life.

Inconsistency kills me. I've a colleague at work who insists on putting every doc through an llm to make it look nice then dumps it on the wiki. Now the wiki is a clusterfuck of assumptions and inconsistent styling.

Our documentation on some tedious process does not need to look like a magazine article nor does it help me find the salient code snippets that will help me understand why this awkward bit of code is the way it is.

Meanwhile he thinks he's achieved something.

To add an additional exception here, police in Northern Ireland are routinely armed, but obviously enough there's reasons there.

Depending on the sq footage I'd love to live in that KFC look at all the balcony space.

Facial recognition (or loyalty card scan I guess), price just propagates from database.

I'm genuinely curious what you feel isn't nice about my comment?

For painting bananas. I spend 3-5 hours most days actively interacting and bonding with my children across a variety of subjects - homework, music, their hobbies. An uninterrupted hour of personal time to spend as I wish outside of work, children, keeping house, eating and sleeping is frankly a luxury I rarely get.

My "internet time" tends to coincide with my toiletry habits, I'm not sure this is an ideal time to prepare bananas.

The insinuation here being if I don't paint bananas I don't have my priorities straight?

I'm busy spending my time doing stuff with my kids, working, fighting a losing battle to keep the house in any kind of respectable state, eating, sleeping and trying to squeeze in some time with my partner. Regular dedicated time for hobbies is something I'd like, you sound pretty lucky in that regard.

Who has time for this?

 

More me being nosy than anything, I was thinking I've not seen much from GreatAlbatross or Emperor in a while and noticed Emperor hasn't posted in 6 months or so and Albatross is no longer listed as an admin. (If you've departed folks, thank you for everything - you resurrected feddit.uk when all hope was lost!)

Does that mean flamingos is the only active admin? Is there a backup plan if (heavens forbid) flamingos gets hit by a bus?

Also just generally curious if there's any instance news or plans going forward.

 

First one done, everything seemed to work, assembly was relatively straightforward and the instructions were great.

Changes - buffer tubes were printed separately with variable layer height in Orca, I've read this helps feeding filament, settings:

Adaptive height 0.08, radius 4.

Triangle Lab kit only seems to come with long springs for the buffer tube, so you'll be building the long stroke version. I wasn't aware there were multiple versions so no loss. They are on the BoM though, so hopefully it saves someone else having to scour the instructions to see if the "missing springs" are needed.

I think I'll try printing the housings for the next one with support, some of the overhangs are a bit misshapen and had to be cleared out with a drill bit. This may still bite me further down the line when I need to fit the module to the base.

It seems like it shouldn't be too difficult to take apart if necessary.

I'd think about bending the solder tabs on the motors before soldering as well, it's a bit of a squeeze inside the housing and it's harder to bend them after.

Hopefully I'll get a second housing printed this week and at least another module assembled at the weekend.

 

I've just taken a quick look, I've not checked off the BOM yet, but motors, boards, PTFE tube and a collection of parts have arrived. There's a bit of a description/warning sheet and a link to a Google drive with it too. Will check out some more over the next couple of days.

 

I've seen the BMCU mentioned a few times as an alternative for the Bambu Lab AMS, given the price I'd like to give it a go with my P1S but, I've seen comments elsewhere that it should work, but YouTube is surprisingly light on BMCU content and I was wondering if anyone in the community has one before I take the plunge?
