    Re: New project - MSFS C++ USB interface

    Now this is a lot more reasonable than the Ender.

    Re: Creality, worst customer support

    The Ender is relegated to small jobs, if I fix it.

    Just got an Anycubic Kobra 2 Max, 420x420x500 and goes at ludicrous speed of 500.

    This was out the box with no tweaking, must have been around...

    Re: Looking for HDMI drawing

    Just a slight adjustment for the power jack and I'm done. It fits (super tight), but it's not as smooth as the 3 other connectors.

    Did I mention that I bricked BOTH the mainboard and display cause their firmware upgrade instructions were garbage? I just left the new ones I bought at whatever version they were at.

    Now why hasn't creality ever suggested that to me. Not a question really. :mad:

    Creality, worst customer support

    Ender 3 S1 Plus bought new March 2023, terrible service since. Started having trouble with abnormal temps within 6 months. I got fed up of useless customer support and bought a new hot-end,...

    Yup. I didn't even bother checking for quantities.

    Looking for HDMI drawing

    Any idea where I can find a drawing for a HDMI connector?

    I'd like to reproduce the curves as closely as possible in a panel. The general outline I can manage, it's that curvy part I'd like to...

    Re: New project - MSFS C++ USB interface

    The more I think about it, the more I'm leaning towards 3D printing to make the enclosures. There's a LOT of details in using liquid plastic, the one that scares the crap out of me is the vacuum...

    Re: New project - MSFS C++ USB interface

    Sometimes when you make support panels, they might not have a lot of detail and it's not always apparent which way is which.

    So I add little alignment markers to help me when I assemble it for a...

    Turn out I can print the main parts in one piece. I'm pushing the limits of my Ender 3 S1 Plus, but in theory "it should work". The parts should have enough rigidity to withstand the stresses of...

    It's not even worth making molds to pour plastic light pipes. Since this is so small, I can 3D print a whole batch in no time.

    I love FreeCad. I don't have to print the whole frame to do a test; I can just crop out the rest until I get the button section right.

    Re: New project - MSFS C++ USB interface

    So I did a full-frame test to see how cooling, warping and shrinkage would affect the end results. The frame shrank nearly 1mm at the widest part, and there's practically no warping (I left it cool...

    ABS is definitely superior. Check the plumbing section at the hardware store; look for the ABS glue close to the black pooptoobs (not to be mistaken with the PVC glue - those white tubes).

    I was thinking of using crazy glue (cyanoacrylate - CA). That's the one that I'm seeing used online. Unless that's not crazy glue, but a newer product.
