I appreciate the folks who are picking up patterns! We are still far short of the goal, so please keep sharing!

i'm working on a project for my high school physics class and this is probably the first time in my life I actually managed to successfully predict the behaviour of an analog circuit this may not be much, just a basic RL, but its still exciting

so what happened: the design is mostly complete, but I do need to redesign the mounting brackets for the XY gantry. I also bought a Kobra 3 print head and I'm trying to learn Klipper progress has been slow because of school and other stuff going on, but now I really am back new year, new me

between this being a part of the new ToS (x.com/en/tos) and simply having no traction, I think I'm free to give up on twitter altogether. Its been an AI infested hellhole of anger for years, you won't be missed

I guess its time to let y'all know about the 40$ printer saga A while back I found this thing at a thrift store, spent a week trying to restore it and promptly found out why it was only 40$. After that I gave up, disassembled it and I'm now making a better version #3Dprinter
The printer was a Monoprice MP Mini Delta V2 or a Malyan M300 Mini Delta. It was designed as a beginner printer, so even brand new it wasn't that goodThis image shows two Benchys, models used to quickly benchmark printers. The benchy on the right was made with my old Creality Ender 3 v1 immediately after I got it, so before any tuning and calibration. The one on the right is literally the worst benchy that most people have ever seen. The print didn't even finish and it's EXTREMELY jittery.Here, I've laid out the only parts worth reusing from this printer: the linear bearings, rods, belts, extruder and 4 stepper motors.This image shows a part from the new design. Since this design follows the CoreXY mechanism, I needed to add mounts for pulleys to reroute belts in a very specific way. These are the carriages that will be moving in the Y axis.

We were never expecting podium, the goal for this year was just to not get last place. However I was overworked due to school and having to manage the rest of the club and my budget was composed of the spare change in my couch, so I'm disappointed with my results so far good stuff comes tomorrow

I need to start interacting with hackaday more, it looks like such an awesome community and I definitely have something to contribute only two weeks until I'm free from the last competition of this school year, this time it's #micromouse

the urge to create doesnt mix well with being broke, why must motors be so expensive, why must ICs be so expensive...

damn it i also fixed my temporary openGL shaders (just rudimentary directional lighting, no shadows or anything) which means now I'm REALLY out of things to stall with #indiegame #indie #gamedev #indiedev

Oh God it works, this means i can't stall working on UI, enemy AI and actually implementing game mechanics anymore

starport UI prototype coming along nicely, had to add multiple modules and weapons so the shipyard would serve an actual purpose, demo soonTM

My son is not fine, a compression washer that I use to keep the axles in place is adding so much friction that one of the motors can't spin with it added

so i decided to ditch my fixed antenna and just grab a second one to track weather satellites by hand WHY IS THIS DATA SO GOOD I WAS USING A PLASTIC BAG TO INSULATE MYSELF FROM THE ANTENNA #radio #hamradio #NOAA19
Image of a folder on my desktop containing all of the images SatDump was able to decode from the data I had received over radio. This is about twice as many images as I usually getColor image of southern Europe showing rainclouds. The colored overlays indicate the amount of rain over a specific region. This image was taken as is from the satellite, but my software added the outline of every country on top for ease of useThermal image of southern Europe and northern Africa. You can see the heat of the Sahara desert marked by orange in the top half and the cold of Europe marked by teal in the bottom half

I'm thinking about having the player sit in the station owner's office, you can carry a conversation up front, you turn to the left to see the mission board and you flip to the right to see a shipyard Since this is an RPG, having a way to interact with people is important #gamedev #indiedev #game

Guys I need ideas, how do y'all think the UI of a space station should work and look like #gamedev #indiedev #game
