I have pretty much given up on doing timelapses since I never did anything with them anyway. That said here are a couple I did when it was set up to do it automatically - obviously I didn't optimize anything to make them look good. There are a ton of choices to make it look different, you can freeze the extruder so it looks like it's just moving straight up, or move it off to the side entirely, or let it move around, or a bunch of other crap. Some of them have an effect on the quality of the print so my default is now "off". Also the webcam I use sucks (doesn't handle anything less than ideal lighting very well, doesn't auto focus, etc) and the position of the camera isn't great for this sort of thing. I guess the second one is recent, I updated some software and reset some defaults, but it's been turned off again already. http://teamyikes.com/Hardtail/06_Phil_A_Ment_20210115052430.mp4 http://teamyikes.com/Hardtail/Tail Light Housing v4.aw_20230107011406.mp4 Anywhos... last week I was working on tail lights. The light I wanted to use was made for a larger fender, it didn't fit the radii of the smaller fender very well so I printed an adapter to make it fit. I thought I liked it but every time I left it a while and came back I decided I didn't like it after all and tried to change it. I've printed so many of them in so many materials and designs it's embarrassing. I finally accepted it wasn't going to work and I may as well do the entire light. It will require sanding and painting but should work. I started out thinking I'd use an incandescent bulb because an LED would look out of place on the bike it's going on, then decided to use an LED panel I had for another light/bike. With an LED I can go smaller and won't have to deal with heat. Here's a family shot of the changes that were made long the way. I forgot, this place doesn't let me hotlink photos from my website cuz it's not https... so the first pic is the family of tail lights. Second is the stl file (digital model basically) for the "final" version. Last pic is the earliest version sitting on the fender. This week's project is a chain guard. It's too long to fit the printer bed so it needs to be done in pieces. I'm on the third iteration now and as per usual, as soon as I start printing it I think of something I want to change. It's now 3;20 am here and the shim I printed to mimic the latest change I want to make just finished printing so the last piece that took two hours to print isn't for naught... no pictures of any of that stuff. It's still ugly. It will be a while before that one's done, each change so far has involved starting over from the beginning, not minor tweaks. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Gonna get up to 18 degrees in Salobrena … which is brill when you’re a thousand miles away, it’s four degrees and you’re going to have to spend all day proof reading your stressy son’s uni work because he got massively distracted by some skirt and the deadlines are today and tomorrow Somehow (I don’t know exactly how) at some point this will all be my fault which of course I will do my best to weather but I guarantee there will be proper FaceTime rowing at some point.

XTreme Posted January 16, 2023 Author Share Posted January 16, 2023 Just ordered this which will hopefully help with the cough.

The purifiers we use at home do an incredible job bringing down the pollen count for my hayfever suffering son but they are a physical filter not an ioniser, ionisers I believe do small particles like tobacco smoke.

You could do part of it the old fashioned way til then and stick a saucer of warm water on top of a heat source (radiator, boiler etc) and depending on what type of cough you have a drop or two of Oilbus Oil or other decongestant in the water can be pleasant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to hang plastic things on the radiators that held water. Always forgetting to top them up though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
