  • STL vs Modifier quality

    Jump

  • The problem I've had with 3mfs is that if you don't select "import geometry only", you can get changes to a bunch of print settings that you don't want changed. And if you import geometry only then the Orca modifiers aren't imported.

    I want to make the file as easy to use for others. I've seen other kit card models with decals in the STL so I know it's possible.

    I've used some of the tips in this thread and it's helped my decals tremendously.

  • The Xeon 2224G workstation with 32GB of ECC ram I got on eBay pulls 15 watts from the wall streaming 4k video on Plex.

    It didn't have 6 bays but if I needed it I could move the guts to a bigger case

  • I bought a used Coffee Lake era Xeon 2224G workstation with 32GB of ECC RAM to use as a NAS. It uses 15 Watts at the wall measured with a killawatt while streaming 4K with Plex.

  • Oh cool! You've done decals? Have you ever seen the same issue where Orca's SVG modifiers create perfect filament paths compared to the gcode it creates for STL/Step file geometry?

  • STL vs Modifier quality

    Jump

  • Yeah the decal is cut out from the model and then the intersection part becomes the decal. I also tried raising it .2 from the surface because I'm using a .2 layer height. I'll try raising it higher.

    I just learned there's a 3d print option in fusion so I can keep the objects set when saving as stl. I'll try that too.

  • It's weird that Orca can create high quality filament paths using modifiers but I can't achieve the same thing with model geometry.

    I could try to delete some polygons in the middle so it's flatter. Thanks for the idea.

  • Is there is any web comic artists which publish their comics as SVG or as transparent PNG?

  • How is the JavaScript in a svg different than the JavaScript in every web page on the Internet that makes it a security risk?

  • Nice read but he answers the question himself at the end:

    "Nvidia these days feels like Sun did then, and so I bet over the next few years there will be a lot of chatbot startups based on cheap PCs with open source models running on CPUs. "

    In 1998 Linux was already available and able to be deployed. His company isn't getting attention because he's selling a promise that if he's given $100m, he might be able to pull a rabbit out of the hat and deliver improved efficiency.

    If you had $100m and could buy servers that would give you revenue tomorrow or spend $100m on R&D that might not ever pay off, which would you do?

  • Yeah I tried Step and it's a tiny bit better but still not anywhere the quality of using a SVG modifier in Orca.\

  • You want a 3mf or just more pngs?

  • STL vs Modifier quality

  • It's the side of a plane so there's no way to make that side flat. I already have the model split down the middle, so it prints without supports. I want it to be in a Kit Card format for ease of printing and assembly.

  • STL vs Modifier quality

    Jump

  • I planned to upload the 3mf too for anyone to use. I assumed that stl was the more standard file format that everyone used because it didn't contain any printer specific data. That's the only reason why I want the stl to work without anyone needing to do anything.

  • Classicists vs medievalists

  • It's both. Western Medieval was stagnant. Eastern Medieval wasn't.

  • Didn't work for me with Verizon. They do not care. They want you to quit. Comcast wants you to quit too. By switching between providers every year, the Sales Executives of competing companies get to show big numbers of new customers and get a bigger bonus.

  • My explanation for this is the sales department only gets bonuses for new customers. So they have an incentive to get you to quit because the Sales Department at other companies also get bonuses on new sales.

    It's game theory. The opponent sales departments get the biggest reward by being the worst business as long as their competitors are also bad. If you don't switch back and forth every other year, they don't get a bonus.
