My Mini lives again! (programming.dev)

submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by the16bitgamer@programming.dev to c/3dprinting@lemmy.world

So I did many things since I last complained that my display assembly was broken.

I tried ABS, didn't fix it.
I contacted Prusa Support and did get a print friendly copy of the Mini Y Front Plate. Which was nice.
However I fell in love with this design. It snaps in place, covers the back (one of my biggest gripes about it) and the angle is fixed. The adjustable display was nice, but I always felt it was fragile. This if fixed and it works.

Worst part, this is the one component Prusa injection molded with no parts 3D Printable. I'll probably figure something out.

Didn't realize how hard MGS4's Disc Swap joke hit until I backed it up (programming.dev)

The Clip if you've never seen it before.

Recently I've been archive my PS3 library of games, and I just finished backing up MGS4. Normally a third party PS3 game is between 7-12GB, however MGS4 is 33GB. To play MGS4 on a 360 you'd need like 4-5 DVD's depending on how they compressed it.

Didn't realize how large games were back even a decade ago.

Just got my steam deck lcd and need help with wake on bluetooth (programming.dev)

submitted 2 months ago by the16bitgamer@programming.dev to c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

22 comments fedilink

Based on my research, the steam deck lcd should be able to wake when a controller connects with it. Yet when I paired and enabled wake on Bluetooth for any of my controller it doesn’t work or connect.

Am I doing something wrong?

The controller I’ve tested are

Xbox One

Xbox Series X

PS4

PS4 V2

All controller have been updated by their respective systems.

Building the PERFECT Linux PC with Linus Torvalds - LTT (www.youtube.com)

TL:DW It's a 54:20 video of Fake Linus interviewing with Linus Torvalds. It goes over Linus's views on hardware choice, questions about Linux and several community questions.

The video is long, but it's a good listen.

In wake of Windows 10 retirement, over 780,000 Windows users skip Win 11 for Linux, says Zorin OS developers — distro hits unprecedented 1 million downloads in five weeks by the16bitgamer in c/technology@lemmy.world

[-] the16bitgamer@programming.dev 35 points 2 months ago

Zorin pro was the main reason I never stuck with Zorin OS however while they heavily advertise that the price is for the software. I think the real cost comes with “installation support”.

For many first time users, having support help with an install is a necessity and they will pay for it. See Geek Squad as an excellent example.

Plus having a preconfigured Linux experience is good for these users.

I made a new backplate for my GameCube for my Flippy Drive (programming.dev)

submitted 2 months ago by the16bitgamer@programming.dev to c/3dprinting@lemmy.world

So I got a Flippy Drive a while ago, and grew tired of how the MicroSD Card is internal not external. I designed and made this Backplate so I can access to it.

It took way to much work but hey it looks pretty and it works.

You can download it from Thingiverse and Printables

Already opened a ticket with Anbernic support. Hoping to hear back from them.

Based on further reading and research this is 100% a know issue. https://droix.net/blogs/is-your-anbernic-device-safe-or-not/#reports-on-the-internet

Edit: Support got back. Sent them video of the system not working, and this image. They offered a free replacement. Seeing how this plays out.

Re-design my Virtual Boy Tripod Kit. Looks amazing (programming.dev)

submitted 5 months ago by the16bitgamer@programming.dev to c/3dprinting@lemmy.world

5 comments fedilink

When I originally designed my Virtual Boy Tripod Kit, it was the most complicated design I had done up to that point. However to make everything work I needed metal nuts and screw, plus an elastic band to hold everything together.

Since I started modeling my own screws, I wanted to go back to this kit and re-design it to be properly 100% 3D printed without loosing the functionality.

And this was my result. The body's shape is pretty much the same. However I am so please with how the mechanism works for the lock nut and thumb screw.

The screws are a bit tricky to print. But man this is so cool to slim this down.

Stop Killing Games has exceeded 1.4 Million Signatures! by the16bitgamer in c/games@sh.itjust.works

[-] the16bitgamer@programming.dev 39 points 6 months ago

While it's easy to be pessimistic about this. This is one of the few options to make actual change. Leaving thing as they are is a worse situation since it means that companies like Ubisoft can and will destroy the games which we own.

Will there be resistance? Yes Ubisoft is already stated their opposition to it.)

But it's not up to companies like Ubisoft for how the EU makes it's laws, it's up to the EU itself. When there is potentially 1.4 million people in Europe telling you to "stop killing games" it's going to be hard to tell them no.

Etsy cracks down on 3D printed products — new rules exclude many 3D printed items from listings by the16bitgamer in c/3dprinting@lemmy.world

[-] the16bitgamer@programming.dev 31 points 7 months ago

As someone who sell their 3D Prints on Etsy. This is fantastic. We had other shops try to sell older versions of my designs and even trying to use my photos in their listing. If this stops that I am all for it.

Autodesk Fusion 360 is moving it's cloud storage to Fusion Hub. Upgrading is Mandatory by the16bitgamer in c/3dprinting@lemmy.world

[-] the16bitgamer@programming.dev 44 points 11 months ago

My solution to this was to back up all my projects so I have a local copy, and move to FreeCAD. I'm tired of Autodesk changing the deal every year or so.

FreeCAD 1.0 finally dropped! by the16bitgamer in c/opensource@lemmy.ml

[-] the16bitgamer@programming.dev 31 points 1 year ago

Is it decent ? Yes

Should I look elsewhere? Also yes.

CAD is difficult to understand on a good day, and FreeCAD is a beginner unfriendly implementation of it.

I personally love it and it’s an excellent tool if you already know what you are doing. If you don’t, it’s a mess of screens and spaces with no rhyme or reason.

My two cents. Learn CAD first, Google Sketchup or Fusion 360 are good and beginner friendly with lots of tutorials. Then move to FreeCAD to learn the differences.

That said if you want to just try FreeCAD, this release is the best I’ve used from them.

Google won’t repair cracked Pixel Watch screens by the16bitgamer in c/android@lemmy.world

I miss Pebble. ePaper Display, week long battery life, and I can see all my phones notifications and reply to texts on the watch itself.

Made my old phone with bad battery life usable.

Garmin is the only "smart watch"/fitness tracker that does this and does it well. Wish it wasn't as pricy for the week long battery devices.
