8.5 GWh / 85 MW = 100 hours, or around 4 days. If they can build it cheap enough, this is the kind of battery we would need to replace nuclear for dealing with the day-to-day variability of renewables.
Will the Mediatek modules also support VESA Adaptive Sync, or will they have fixed frame rate on AMD cards?
STEP is at least marginally better than STL, because it can represent stuff like circles, instead of just a mesh.
It exports as F3D (probably readable by future versions of Fusion) and STEP (standard but with less fidelity) by default.
https://github.com/aconz2/Fusion360Exporter lets you bulk export all of your projects to local storage.
I wonder why the tester claims the cable supports 5V but not 9-20V. What property of the cable could possibly determine that?
There are panel/bracket mounted Type-E to USB-C connectors, so it shouldn't be hard to attach some to a 3D printed 3.5" panel. The hard part is getting enough internal Type-E ports, ideally with USB-PD.
FYI: These messages were "deleted by creator" so I attempted to clean them up, but that just changed the text to "Removed by mod". Guess I won't try that again.
There is some good stuff in this release. Go to Preferences > GUI and check "Show sidebar collapse/expand button" + "Settings in non-modal window". Now you can put the Preview and Print Settings windows side-by-side, and see the result of every change immediately. This also requires "Background processing", but that's been available for ages.
all the features you know and love from things up the tree
Did OrcaSlicer ever bring back the option to slice automatically when changing settings? It's called "Background processing" in PrusaSlicer.
Beginning with Firefox 127, users will be prompted to grant MV3 host permissions as part of the install flow (similar to MV2 extensions).
Hooray! Previously Firefox MV3 extensions had to include a custom button in the UI to prompt the user for host permissions at runtime. It generally made more sense to stay on MV2 than switch from a 2-click to a 6-click install procedure.
I have one of these J3400 to J1772 adapters so I can connect my Hyundai to a Tesla destination charger. They'll probably get more popular as J3400 becomes the primary standard:
I'm curious what would actually happen if someone were to use such an adapter with a J3400 DC fast charger. I know it can't possibly work because the DC charging pins are connected to the vehicle's AC pins, but is there something in the J3400 standard to notice and reject such an adapter before DC voltage is applied?
I'm not sure if J1772 vs. CCS1 adapters contain anything that the signalling protocol could use to identify which is which. If the DC charger were required to passively measure the battery voltage before sending any power, that would probably avoid the "magic smoke" problem, but does the standard guarantee that this will happen?
I designed this wonky-looking funnel to fit my Squirrel Buster Legacy (and probably similar models), with hooks and posts that make it possible to refill the feeder without setting any parts on the ground.
This design of feeder needs to be located away from surfaces that a squirrel could stand on, so I assume a lot of people run into this problem. I don't really blame the company for making it so cumbersome to operate, because there's overlap between the smartest squirrels and the dumbest humans.
I think I found a counterexample to the common wisdom that more walls always create a stronger part.
The pictured S shape is 1.5mm thick, so printing with 2 walls leaves no room for infill. My testing wasn't very rigorous, but it seems that the hybrid structure of walls + rectilinear infill is 10-20% more rigid than walls alone. The infill adds strength by cris-crossing between adjacent layers.
I think it's fine to include a concentric top/bottom layer, but multiple identical layers weaken the part. I also tried 0 walls (infill only) and that was garbage.

I'm waiting for the 2025 model (with a rear wiper) to hit the used market, in case my 2019 Kona needs to be replaced at some point. Though I will miss the turning lights.
