A quick search turned up an “official” CNC mount for cartographer and stealth burner. There are also instructions covering another mount, but I didn’t spend much time looking at them.
If you’re comfortable with CAD it shouldn’t be hard to model a mount that uses the klicky attachment points on the stock SB carriage. I found an existing model that looks like it does exactly this.
I didn’t spend a ton of time digging in, but I think the thing that gets the mainstream handhelds with AMD integrated graphics are the custom drivers. Maybe if a less mainstream device uses less custom components it’ll have better compatibility?
Not to ask the dumb question, but if your main pain point is tap why not just swap tap for cartographer or even klicky? Klicky, combined with Klipper Z Calibration has been pretty reliable on my build and gives me a very consistent first layer.
Thanks for the follow up. The A9II is a 24 megapixel full frame camera. It’s probably best described as a sports camera since it’s fairly fast at 20 FPS and has a fast reading sensor that lets you shoot electronic shutter in the majority of situations.
A smaller APS-C sensor gives you a 1.5 crop, which turns the 150-500 into a 225-750 on a crop sensor body. I started out on a D40 (Nikon APS-C) 15 years ago and ever since moving to full frame I’ve missed the crop factor.
Since the A9 series isn’t particularly high resolution you can’t leave that much on the floor. Cropping to 750mm equivalent would result in a 12 MP image. I’ve been teasing the idea of picking up a used APS-C body to use in situations where I want more reach and have been on the lookout for some good examples. This is a perfect comparison, thanks!
Cats like to climb things and something with lots of low branches sure is inviting. Results can include a knocked over tree, bent branches if you have a fake tree, and knocked off ornaments.
Nice shot! I’ve been very pleased with my copy of that lens on an A9ii. Is this cropped at all? I’ve been missing the crop factor of my old aps-c body from time to time, especially for things like birds.
After the Department of Justice released thousands of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in a tranche on Friday that included a number of decades-old photographs of former President Bill Clinton, a spokesperson for Clinton on Monday called on all of the files relating to Clinton to be released.
“Accordingly, we call on President Trump to direct Attorney General Bondi to immediately release any remaining materials referring to, mentioning, or containing a photograph of Bill Clinton,” Ureña added.
Haha, that’s one approach. Be sure to pour the hot water all around the door frame itself is often frozen shut too.
Corvettes, going back to at least the C6 generation (2005ish) have electronic handles, but they have mechanical emergency pulls on the floor next to the door sill. Yes, messing with them will set off the car alarm if the doors are locked. Ask me how I know.
I have no idea why anyone where it freezes would want electronic handles, especially ones that electronically self-present. I’ve had to yeet my frozen shit door open on more than occasion.
No judgement meant, but without understanding your use case it’s hard to make a good recommendation.
What you asked first: I have an Asus Ally X. I’m truly just like @strayce@[email protected] in that my purchase choice was influenced by the ability to use it with an eGPU. From what I’ve read, using an AMD eGPU with an Ally X is a recipe for frustration, but Nvidia eGPUs are fine. I never actually pulled the plug as my use case for the device changed after I started using it. It can absolutely be used as a full fledged PC, since it actually is one, and I’ve taken advantage of that a few times.
Musings on my pursuit of a convenient single device solution follow. You’re welcome to stop here. I’m not here to try to convince you of anything, only to share my own struggles. Maybe you’ll even be able to help me with them.
I’ve been chasing the promise of a convenient all-in-one device for a while now. Tablet form factor devices (surface pro, iPad, etc) are good as tablets, but propping them up on your lap with a keyboard is awkward. I’ve found that this limits where you can realistically use them. Sure, you can use a tray/lap table setup, but if you need to haul it around with you it starts to lose convenience. I’ve always fallen back to using these devices as tablets. It seems like using a handheld as a computer replacement would face the same hurdles when you’re away from your desk and add another one: the need for an an external display.
As for why I didn’t buy an eGPU for the Ally X, the most frequent time and place I use the Ally X is on the couch, next to my spouse as they watch TV, after my kids are asleep. I quickly realized I was self-selecting which games I play on it. I’m actively avoiding entire genres like real time strategy, which I personally enjoy a lot, because those games greatly benefit from a mouse/keyboard setup. I want a fast/convenient setup and break down. I don’t want to have to worry about gathering and stashing accessories. There’s also the reality of running on battery and heat dissipation. Keeping the Ally X in 13 watt “silent” mode results in 20 watts of actual power draw, very low fan noise, and ~4 hours of battery life. Its 17 watt “performance” mode is still fairly quiet and lowers battery life to ~3 hours. My spouse finds turbo mode too loud and you’re looking at 1.5 hours of battery life. Noise aside, playing while plugged in diminishes the convenience for me.
Despite a few false starts, I’ve still found myself stuck in the camp of portable device + laptop + desktop - although my desktop sees pretty infrequent use these days.
Like @[email protected] my handheld supports an eGPU and can run bazzite. However it’s another mainstream unit. Personally, I got my handheld to be a hand held to play around the house using its built in screen. The onboard graphics have been more than capable, although I’ll admit that I play slightly older games.
If you’re looking for a less mobile setup and/or are more budget conscious, a used PC is probably going to be way better bang for your buck than a hand held with an eGPU. My gaming PC still packs a (used) 1070ti and shrugs off most games at 1440. Sure, I can’t max graphics in everything but with moderate settings I can still have very solid and stable FPS.
Nope! That’s part of the fun sadly. At least if you’re technical you’ll know that not all type-c cables are the same.
Display port over USB-C is totally a thing. With things like USB-PD USB seem to be getting dangerously close to becoming the standard for everything. The cables are a wreck though and are way too hard for a layperson to tell apart.
I’ve seen that a ton with injection molded plastic, but I don’t know if I’ve ever seen that happen on a printed part before. My prints usually break before deforming enough to get discolored.
10 hours worth of hangout time with friends sounds nice. Our kids are 5 and 8, which means they’re vaguely more self-sufficient and also means we can go on more adventurous trips, but they still require quite a bit of looking after due to bickering and what not.
I also have kids. IMO, the way you’re accounting for hours doesn’t reflect the boom/bust cycle of the 5 day work and school week.
A day in my work week is:
Things will probably calm down some when our kids are a touch older, but right now the week days are very hectic.
Good to hear! The only PETG problem I ever had problems with was an opaque white. Evidently it takes a decent amount of additives to get it to be both opaque and white, which can impact printability.
Still, a ton of drivers will absolutely drive like you are invisible and just plow into you.
I’ve had this experience in a miata and Fiero. Low roofline + small car = invisibility cloke :(
Sorry to hear that. The only thing that comes to mind is potentially print speed. Your first layer is probably pretty slow. Are your subsequent layers much faster?
That read like a mix of “enough with pixel density”, smaller sensors are actually really small and don’t expect a ton out of them, and a clear the need for better marketing units. Unfortunately, consumers gonna consumer.
