Just finished printing this AllSky Raspberry Pi mount in Inland natural color ASA filament. Smoothed it with acetone. The results are incredible, you can't even tell its 3D printed with how smooth the parts turned out.
Probably makes it more waterproof for outdoor use now that the layer lines...
I currently have Autodesk Inventor running on Win11 inside Parallels 17 on my M1 MBP. It works, but it isn’t fast.
So I’m curious about running a networked Windows machine instead of using Parallels.
What would be the best approach to putting a Windows machine hooked up to my gigabit home...

How would you go about connecting all of these devices...
I unplugged my AT&T FIOS router this morning to do some cleaning and rearranging. When it was unplugged, my entire home network went down. I couldn't access my Wifi from my laptop and I couldn't access my various Raspberry Pi devices running stuff like my 3D printers.
My WiFi access point is a...
Project long time in the making. I built a sideboard table to fit 2 standard size 3D printers (Prusa MK3S+ and Ender 3 Pro frame), plus drawers for tools and cabinets for filament, etc. There were no furniture pieces on the market that fit my wishes so I found some sideboard plans, drew it out...
Got my Ender 3 perfected, I think.
This is the direct drive printed kit I settled on, after trying 2 other ones that I didn't care for.

I use my MacBook Air for 95% of my work.
I use my Thinkpad mostly for astronomy related apps that aren’t available on the Mac.

Bought a new, fully loaded Dell Inspiron 7775 27" AIO.
Overall it has been badass with no issues. But when playing Starcraft 2, after awhile it gets these pretty bad graphical glitches.
Any idea what is causing it?

2 quick questions on some gear for my new full size SLR.
Last camera was m4/3, and one before that was Fuji X. I used a leather wrist strap for those cameras. The D7000 came with a Nikon branded (and uncomfortable) neck strap.
What strap do you guys use for your large DSLR?
And what bag? At...
Found this on Slickdeals today, picked it up on my way home from work.
BBuy price is $629, minus 10% with a USPS Best Buy movers coupon, paid $566 + tax. Good deal considering the lens alone sells for $495 on Amazon.

I currently have an OM-D EM-5 with some decent lenses. I also have a Canon T1i that I hang onto to use with my telescope.
Things I don't like about the Olympus:
1) deep software menus compared to Canon. Canon is easier to adjust with little brain effort while shooting.
2) to get decent lenses...
I'm looking to get a 27" IPS LED monitor for my birthday in December.
I looked at the Korean ones, and they all seemed to have their drawbacks. The Qnix multi-input 27" matte screen did look nice, but it was barely cheaper than a name brand model off Amazon.
The AOC 27" model looks nice...

Any thoughts on how to fix it? Google returned zero helpful results.
I built a new mini ITX rig based around my i7 3770k. I reused my old GTX 460 in it.
I'm looking at putting the smaller and cooler running (and quieter, much quiter) GTX 750 TI into it.
I realize it isn't actually an upgrade, more of a sideways move, from the GTX 460. Bonus to the 750 TI is that...

Asking $175 shipped. Have heat under my username.
I currently use a Nexus 7.
It can be a little sluggish. Especially when web browsing and typing into Chrome, the text can lag behind what I am typing, and it usually then screws up what I was trying to type as it falls too far behind.
Other niggles I don't like about it: harder to get stuff...
