They are a relic from the time when the only way to build a base was to find one of them and claim it. When they added the option to build a base where you want (not remember which update) they left them in the wild even if somewhat rarer.
If you find one you should still be able to claim it as your base.
I made 3 part because I need some details on what will be the top of the piece, little seams to show the separation of each hex, as well as the thinner walls on the bottom. I did try 2 part molds before, but getting it off the mold was near impossible most of the time. Like this, I can just push the piece off.
Got it. I did't consider the extraction.
Currently, only the presser has holes for the water, should I add it to the bottom piece, too?
Not if it work well.
The thick walls are to endure the pressure and reduce warping, though maybe they could be thinner? I tested adding some gypsum to the mixture, waiting for one piece to dry further and already figured that I have to remove from the mold before it hardens too much, otherwise it’ll end up stuck (that or I have to properly sand/fill the pieces like bluewing said above)
If they endure the pressure they are ok. I would have done them thicker but just to be sure.
For the gypsym it seems strange, every time that I did something with it I had no problem to remove from the mold, expecially if it was made with some sort of plastic. Probably more than the pieces you need to sand the mold to have smooth surfaces, so that the gypsum does not adhere to it.
Two options in my opinion.
First one is to redesign the mold to have only 2 parts that are 2 semi shells, the way you desing it currently need to have a very strict tolerance in the parts which I don't think are doable with a 3d printer (also, the wall seems too little thick). With a 2 part mold, you do some holes for the water on what will be the back side of your tile and you should be good.
Another option is to use something different, like white wall gypsum and maybe adding some acrylic color it needed, and somewhat copy the way the real tile are done.
If what you are doing is for model and/or some game, white gypsum is great, I did some nice diorama for aircraft with them. And it is more durable in my opinion.
No, we don't.
A robot can only do what it is programmed to and the current AIs are well beyond what we would need.
I still think that’s trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. For biological humans to be able to explore the solar system, we need to advance in space-based manufacturing and AI control of those systems. Then there’s no more need for cramped spaces, for one.
You are somewhat right but you forgot that we are already able to build and use cramped spaces for months, think about a military ships, submarines or the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station.
Having to launch every single piece of material from out of the gravity well of earth is just not scalable or realistic.
That's the real point, not the cramped space.
For us to be more than just tourists in our solar system, and especially before we get to other stars, I really think we need to sort out how to digitize human minds.
Nah, we just need to start to think to use the same approach of a naval fleet: send more then one big ship. This way also a generational ship could be easier to build and run.
If there was justice then Elon would get spacex yanked away from him or shutdown.
If there were justice, Boeing would be bankrupt.
The plan was always for spacex to rescue them, but for some reason it couldn’t be done until early this year. Something about the launch schedule.
Yep, because sending a ship to the ISS is like calling an Uber to get you home, right....
Of course the plan was always for SpaceX to rescue them, they are the only ones that have the capability and a working ship. But that does not means that they can cram another unscheduled launch with such short notice on top of the schedule they already have.
Now for him to claim that the astronauts were abandoned by the previous administration while saying they can’t be rescued yet says either maliciousness or incompetence.
To be honest, that is what I was reading from the start of this story basically everywere, it is not that Musk said something no one ever said.
So, I get the you dislike Musk, but accusing him for not readily solve a problem created by the incompetence of others (Boeing) does not seems that fair.
Yes, if the person do it in the wrong place.
See, the problem with people like you is that they think that every place is the right place to talk about everything. And then call bigots the ones that point out "look wrong place to discuss these topics".
But what you fail to explain is why it should be allowed. If there is a division into topics (be them subreddit, lemmy communities or whatever) it means something. It is not that on StackOverflow you can discuss about personal relationships, there are site of the network dedicated.
True, but this does not mean that everyplace is the right place to talk about everything.
The problem is: why do you need to talk about these arguments in a game subreddit ? Or in any other place not dedicated to these arguments ?
Yes, if you sign up to be a mod, you are signing up to moderate. That includes dealing with whatever hate falls into your community.
Just keep in mind that "dealing" can also mean "nuke everything off topic".
I get the hate for Musk, but honestly the SLS program should have been already terminated. It has not yet delivered anything, it is overbudget of orders of magnitude, and even if it will deliver something, it will be orders of magnitude more expensive.
The problem of kmail is the underlying subsystem that is evertything other than stable.
