I don't know if you're making this argument for outside the US, but renting a U-haul is pretty cheap if you stay within city limits. It really only gets expensive if you're actually moving. Occasional needs should have occasional solutions!

 

I have a 2.4 in progress right now and of course I still haven’t gotten a raspberry pi 4 yet. I know people have used raspberry pi zeros as a substitute, but I plan to use a webcam (I think I saw somewhere before that it might be too heavy). Does anyone have this setup?

I have a Le Potato and I’m very comfortable with linux, but I’d just rather not deal with the troubleshooting and work that might come with using a different platform.

As much as I feel that Reddit was pretty underhanded, I doubt that they're using AI to fake content to keep people on the site 'cause (a) people would catch on pretty fast by looking at the history of the account and (b) running LLMs probably cost more than the earned advertising revenue.

What's more likely is that people/bots have always been reposting for karma a while

That's pretty cool! I had no idea about those structural voids

lol this is allegedly "a low poly fox"

 

Here's a close up picture of the print itself: https://imgur.com/a/flJjhGs. It's printed in PETG with 40% infill. I printed it first in PLA, but then it snapped immediately (thankfully not on my face). The only reason why I didn't use PETG from the get go was that I actually didn't know you could print it without an enclosure.

One thing that I don't like about this setup is that I'm missing a degree of freedom. If I tilt the monitor upwards, it will also tilt a little bit to the right. It's good enough for now because I want it to face pretty much straight down anyways, but I would love suggestions and advice! I was thinking about maybe copying this ball and joint I saw on r/functionalprints, but I can't find that link right now (for obvious reasons).

The monitor is this small lightweight portable monitor (comparable weight to a tablet) (https://a.co/d/0qGzPyC). The boom mic stand is a "heavy duty" mic stand (https://a.co/d/7Cjg8fs).

I haven't really gotten the chance to give it ago, but openai has a point cloud generator, which can pretty easily be made into an STL. I might give this a go after work tomorrow and report my findings :D
