I'm trying to get as much dimensional realism in my rig as I can so that my high-functional autistic son can get some practice with driving as he's working on getting his license.

I've got a Logitech G923 with shifter, parking brake. I've added an aftermarket control post with push-button start, blinkers, light controls, wipers, and cruise control. Right now what I'm looking for is a way to go from the 10.5" OEM wheel to a 14" wheel without losing the control buttons on that face panel (we use those for controlling the radio and view controls when not in VR).

Can anyone recommend a method of getting that larger wheel while maintaining the button panel? I don't mind if the extra weight de

So, I've been obese for about a decade now. I've been doing cico off and on for 7 years with some occasional, partial success. My highest weight was 367lb. I'm a 6'4" male, 41 yo.

Over the course of my efforts to lose weight, I was diagnosed with sleep apnea, hypothyroid, and hypogonadism (low testosterone); the last of these was in April of this year.

Since April, I've been on TRT, and feeling better than I have in 20 years, it's fixed the seizures that I used to have and several other things.

Also, since April, I've lost 52 lbs. No major changes to diet or activity. My body is just working right, finally. I've got another 65~ish to go to hit my goal weight of 250 lbs so that I can go zi

My wife is disabled and wants to use a Yeti Nano for streaming but needs to be able to have it reach her on the couch. I was looking for a boom on a tripod, but was coming up nil for something that won't tip once I get it into position.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi, I recently got my Valve Index after previously having a Samsung Odyssey and noticed immediately upon setup that the base stations have a distinct whine to them. Is that normal? I bought an extra, so I have three, two of them have a 1.8kHz frequency sound and the other has dual sounds at 1.9kHz and 7.2kHz. All sounds are at about -50dbFS according to the frequency analyzer I used.

My wife is very sensitive to sounds, so I haven't been able to even use it more than one song in Beat Saber since I got it three weeks ago, as it's like a dentist drill to her.

Is this noise normal/expected, and if so, what would be a good material to wrap them in to attenuate the sound?

Hi everyone, I started up my computer today to prep a model for printing and Cura greeted me with "Your config has become corrupted and will be backed up and reset" and now all of my settings are back to original (note to self: back all material profiles up more often). Since it says my config was backed up somewhere, is there any suggestions on where I would find that and figure out which menus I had enabled?

So, I updated my version of Cura (from 3.0 to 3.1) right before I went on vacation last month and just got back to my printer yesterday. Once I figured out that there was a filament width override that was causing dramatic underextrusion, I've been trying to figure out why my prints won't stick and the printer keeps driving the nozzle into the side of my print, knocking it off the bed when I eventually do get something to stick. I tried some of my old GCodes that I had generated before and they still work. Is there a "screw everything up" toggle that I need to turn off on version 3.1?

Thanks

So, I got a fancy new AnyCubic UltraBase for my Monoprice Maker Select v2.1 yesterday (only took 21 days to deliver!) and it went on without a hitch. After leveling, I printed a calibration cube with absolutely no issues (I love how it literally just pops off the plate at 35°C). However, I then went on to try and print a Nicolas Cage lithophane "for a friend" and after three tries so far, I cannot get the whole thing to stick (poor Mr Cage)

Bed Temp: 65°C for first layer, 60°C after that

Extruder Temp: 210°C (same temp I've used on this roll of filament so far on my old glass bed)

Material: Red Hatchbox PLA

Any suggestions on h

Hi, I've got my printer running on OctoPrint and I'm loving it. I just started taking timelapses of my prints and was trying to set up an auto-upload script to put it on Youtube so I can watch the timelapses from work when my print finishes while I'm out of the house (my wife is home all the time so it's not running unattended).

I've got this script working properly, but I'd like to automate the upload process so I don't need to SSH into my Pi from outside the network. I'm afraid I am fairly new to OctoPrint and am not remarkably proficient in Linux in general, so I am hoping someone here may have done something like this in the past?

My hope

I'm working on an enclosure for my Monoprice Maker Select v2 (the well-known rebranded Wanhao i3) using 3 stacked Lack tables from Ikea and some acrylic windows. My issue is that my wife is horribly allergic to corn, so when I want to print PLA, I have to close the printer and enclosure in another room until the air is clear enough that she won't get an allergic reaction.

So, I'm looking into making this and mounting it on a small thermal exhaust port in the bottom of the enclosure. After adjusting for tiny, one-man fighters potentially shooting torpedos into the exhaust port, I realized that having the enclosure entirely closed and sealed to kee

So, my wife has an incredible corn allergy, which includes pretty much everything derived from corn. As you can imagine, this makes getting her daily intake of food pretty difficult.

I was looking into Soylent to augment her diet, but as the nice people at Soylent told me via email, the maltodextrin in it is corn-derived.

So, my question is: does anyone here know of either a diy recipe or purchasable product that we can try for her? I saw the post on Liquid Hope earlier and will probably order some of that for her to try, but it would be great to have options.

Thanks
