So this is just for the “looks” or am I missing something here?
Doesn’t seem to do anything for adhesion which I wouldn’t consider to be a replacement as the title implies it is…
Unless, of course, you are looking for a different bottom surface finish.
Yes, something like this I was thinking about. A boom arm or pole or something like that would then reach over the printer and the retractable badge holders could hold the cables and feed tube up without interfering with them that much.
I specifically moved the filament feed tube to the front so that the whole thing is more accessible and easier to handle, by default the whole stuff is at the end but I found it too annoying to always have to grab/reach through my printer under the bed to do anything with the filament.
I did try using a spare PTFE tube for the cables but this didn’t really help that much. But I must say, I have fewer issues with the cables, the filament feed tube is more of an issue I want to address.
Thanks, I added an image link to the original post.
There is a very helpful link that I will link below that shows stats of what some Nvidia Cards are capable of.
Though, as with everything “transcoding 4K related” would be, WHY? Why would you go through the trouble to store 4K content and then be okay with letting that high quality be transcoded to either a lower bitrate, resolution or even different codecs? All you do in those cases is affect the quality which you specifically want with 4K content. An alternative, 1080p version would not even take that much storage space from you and eliminate the transcoding requirements.
Transcoding should be the backup that should be used to make a video playable if any other attempt or way failed, it should NOT be the standard.
Depends. I recently was in that situation and it was easier and more cost-effective to just print them.
I recently bought some Lego Star Wars sets and printed out some Display stands for them but the connection between the stands and the model was expected to be a 2x4 Lego plate. I didn’t have those plates at hand so I looked online and found it from the official Lego site.
The individual “Plate 2x4” would cost 0.14EUR each. Since I needed 3 this would be 0.42EUR. But the mailing costs would be over 9EUR.
So ordering 3 of those Lego pieces would cost me almost 10 bucks. I just printed them out which worked well, they were a bit tight fit but are still holding.
But I wouldn’t necessarily say that this is a replacement for actual Lego pieces. As a quick alternative that you can’t see or that has less interaction with other pieces (doesn’t need to fit correctly on all sides) then I think this can work.
