SmoochyPit,

BeReal was cool, and the concept is still appealing to me and my circle.

The groups and the celebrity/brand accounts aren’t cool. And I can imagine them adding more garbage after this acquisition.

At the end of the day, capitalism gonna capitalize~

SmoochyPit,

Columbo says queer rights 💯‼️🚳❤️

SmoochyPit,

I don’t think there’s a separate build with Nvidia patches now (at least on the AUR), as they’re included/fixed upstream. Still plenty of config and environment variables to set on Nvidia. And the new Nvidia beta driver, 555, should fix flickering in xwayland windows that was caused by a lack of explicit sync support. It’s been working well for me so far!

My friend didn't have a great experience with Linux

I have been daily driving Linux for over two years now and I have switched distros many times. So, when my friend bought a new laptop, I convinced him to install Linux Mint on it. I asked him if he wanted to dual boot, he said no because it would fill up all his storage. We installed Linux Mint. The other day, he wanted to play...

SmoochyPit,

Right up front two major issues with Linux:

  1. No standard UI - it’s different on every system
  2. No standard tools - you can’t rely on the same tools being on every machine

These seem like pretty fundamental traits, since Linux is only the kernel. I think a better way to compare other OSs to Linux would be comparing them to specific Linux distros, since those often do have standardized installs.

But there’s not really a great answer for which distro or distros should be used to represent the whole linux ecosystem… and that fragmentation has both pros and cons.

Like, I really love my Arch desktop, but it took lots of time to learn and configure. And it often breaks with updates— it’s not something most users would want. However, I get cutting-edge updates and features, and I have specialized my entire OS to best work for my workflows.

SmoochyPit,

I currently use and love bluetuith! I hope you are able to secure funding and contributors, as this sounds like it could be a great development.

SmoochyPit,

YOOO!!

I can’t wait to get home for this! I’m going to try to use VRR again too, see how it plays with that.

SmoochyPit,

Got home, it’s working really well. Like, I’m super pleased!

VRR still needs testing on my system. I know that there’s yet to be a fix for multi-monitor VRR. I still need to test with a single monitor, though.

SmoochyPit,

I worked at a place with vending machines, and we completely lacked any ownership of them. Money stolen and need a refund? Call the number on the posted machine. If you paid in cash, no luck. This seems like that to me.

SmoochyPit,

Flashlight would like access to your contacts

SmoochyPit,

Same— my understanding is that there’s now no option to play without making one, which for some countries and territories is not even an option, making the game unplayable for them.

SmoochyPit,

Non-movie-related Sonic promo in 2024? I gotta get my ass to ihop 🏃💨

SmoochyPit,

I should buy it, I loved control and I love the recent resident evil games

SmoochyPit,

It just like me fr 🥺

SmoochyPit,

Here’s my results:

From top to bottom in pictures:

  • 45 degrees with organic supports on entire bottom shaft (not in second image)
  • Horizontal with organic supports on entire bottom shaft
  • Vertical with organic supports on bottom end bit and a few spots on the shaft near the bottom

Here’s my thoughts on them:

The 45 degree one was really poor quality on the bottom… and the back part snapped when I was trying to remove supports. It likely would’ve been a bit stronger printing with taller layers, but the bottom edge seems tricky to support regardless.

The horizontal one turned out well. The bottom side has a rough finish from where the supports connected, but I think being more picky about painting on supports and giving that side a quick shave after printing would fix. The tip is still pretty smooth, to my surprise! Also, this printed twice as quick as the vertical one, since I didn’t have to slow any movements. I can’t break this one even if I try— it’s super strong, the bridge included. Just bends. That said, the nub on this one is more of a nub than a bump, a bit sharper. Between that and the surface on the bottom, it doesn’t fit in my 3ds without doing any shaving or sanding. However, the “tail” part, which shows in the 3ds, is smoothest off-the-bed in this orientation.

Lastly, I printed another vertical one because I wanted to figure out why the bridge at the bottom wasn’t complete in the sliced model:

https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/0bd27334-becf-43e0-bb01-4818b66c31d5.png

My solution was reducing the “minimum perimeter width” for the Arachne generator down to 50% (of the nozzle diameter) from 85%. Anyways, this print has a smoother, shinier finish along the shaft and tip. On this print, the nub near the bottom is more of a gradual bump compared to the horizontal one. With this print, though, as the height increases, you can see a bit of wobble and there is a Z-seam running up the shaft. Also, I don’t trust bending this stylus very much, especially the bridge part, since that’s what broke first last time. Seems sturdier this time with the perimeter change, but only a bit. And finally, the “tail” is the roughest here, since it’s the part that was connected to the raft. It’s probably worth sanding it down to get a good finish there.

Here’s the model if you’d like to print one for yourself: printables.com/…/158481-new-nintendo-3ds-stylus

Anyways, I’ve learned a lot in this process. And now I can play Ace Attorney with a stylus again!!

SmoochyPit,

True, and that’s the most important part. I learned a lot today, too, like how you can’t use organic supports with variable layer height (which is a huge bummer!) and how to add connectors to a split part in prusa.

SmoochyPit,

Heheh, it kinda did 😅 I had to take off the back cover (which, luckily, is removable on this model) to get it out.

SmoochyPit,

What are your thoughts about the extending stylus for the original model 3ds? They weren’t particularly long, but it’s something up on the plain plastic ones.

SmoochyPit,

Huge inspiration for me!

SmoochyPit,

Super small youtuber, but I really look up to TyraLore. Her videos are all about the Minecraft Create mod, but her way of explaining everything, as well as her creativity in her survival series, have really inspired me to play Minecraft again.

SmoochyPit, (edited )

It’s finished!

The creator of the model replied below with links! I highly recommend this model if you need a stylus, it’s working great!

I should’ve been a bit more careful with where I put support material— one side of the bridge part is a bit bumpy. But it still works, so I can’t complain too much. Also, the bottom part where it connected to the raft is a bit rough. Might be worth lightly sanding it down so it’s a nicer finish when stashed.

SmoochyPit,

I hadn’t bitten mine, but I do think it had worn down a bit. Pretty mine fell out, too.

SmoochyPit,

It definitely does seem sketch, but the creator of the model recommended printing it vertically— it makes the gap, nub and tip a bit smoother.

I had to slow the layers a bit and play with the raft and supports (I originally did a 3ds xl stylus a few months ago, that’s where my trial-and-error was)

Here’s how it turned out: lemmy.ca/comment/8779564

SmoochyPit,

Yeah, the main shaft ( 😥🤤 ) would have gained stability from being horizontal, but the bottom has an awkward bridge with a nub on it that would possibly need supports. Also the tip is a bit smoother off-the-bed with concentric rings than with stacked layers on supports, so those things benefit.

lemmy.ca/comment/8779564

It feels pretty sturdy, but it probably wouldn’t be hard to snap if I wanted to. I saw some other designs that printed the stylus in separate pieces, which would probably give the best final quality.

SmoochyPit,

Agreed. My favorite print I’ve done is a super basic rectangle with a circular section cut out of it, I made it myself with openscad and it’s propping up a pipe in my basement. It’s so cool how flexible 3D printing is! I’ve still only scratched the surface…

SmoochyPit,

It’s handy for sure, but the effort that has gone into learning about and using it for me has been a lot more than I expected. It’s become a total hobby for me!

It could be worth checking if you have a local library or maker space with 3D printers available~

SmoochyPit,

Thank you for the design! It’s working great so far, but if it breaks I’ll give that a shot.

Also I agree, I should have linked it. Sorry about that. I posted it to 196 because it was the most recent picture in my camera roll, but it really would’ve made sense to link it in the follow up pictures. I’ll edit that comment to point to yours, just in case.

SmoochyPit,

Definitely would’ve been easier to print (less tinkering with slicer settings), too. But I think because the layer time was so quick, it’s surprisingly well-bonded.

https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/5aa9ddcb-2613-46cb-b409-8e6697478e8e.jpeg

That’s still the first direction it’s snap in, but I think it’s good enough for my use-case.

SmoochyPit,

Haha, welllllll fwiw I had to tinker with slicer settings for a few iterations before 😅 keeping the raft in place for the top layers was a bit tricky.
