ashen parrot
=.= the smart radiator control I bought isn't in z2m yet
was thinking of TRVs lately, they basically vary the amount of thermal agent that gets let into your radiator. I mention it because we're used to thinking valve more open means more heat, but what they really affect is hysteresis of the heat transfer. The thermal agent stays the same temperature (controlled by whatever it is that controls its temperature, be it central heating or otherwise)
so then the hysteresis is ultimately affected by the insulation of the room
glacial knot
That's how heating works here in general, yes
but it still lets more heat into the radiator (and room) with a further open valve
not sure what you are trying to say tbh.

clear ferry
glacial knot

clear ferry

ashen parrot

yes, ofc, but my point is that this is true because it affects the time it takes for the heat transfer to occur. That was what I was trying to say, there are 3 hystereses involved: the one from the new thermal agent let in and the old one already inside the radiator, then the exchange between the radiator and the air around it, and ultimately the exchange between the room and the outside.
Point being, there is a moment whereby no matter how much heat you let into your unit, the overall heat of the room won't increase any further and in some rooms this will be way before you reach maximum valve intake, meaning most of us just waste money on heat. This is just based on my personal testing: not saying it is your situation, seeing as I have no clue about your room insulation. But unless you figure out at what temperature that occurs, the TRV will not be as effective if set above that temperature
it's kind of hard to test for this because the outside temp always varies, and there is a point where it affects that drop drastically (water freezing point usually)
glacial knot
it's less insulation and more radiator surface to room volume iirc.
But also doesn't result in any cost difference the way we are set up in Germany
ashen parrot
east or west?
glacial knot
These thingies work the same everywhere
They are based on temperature difference of the radiator to room
ashen parrot
oh yes I know, Im not contesting that
I am in bucharest so the building block design is soviet, as well as it is in most former eastern block (depending on the building ofc - there are some that aren't)
perhaps yours isn't which is why you don't factor in the room insulation
glacial knot
I'm used to properly insulated houses in the area of former East Germany as well

My system has a valve that varies based on the outside temp, and then I have TRVs, it all sorts itself out, but lower temp out to the radiators and more flow seems to be most effective at the moment

you can lower your heating bill, by adding fans to those radiators or by encasing the device with a bit of wool

but the relation to heating is also one step removed. Since it's more about efficiency for the whole system, and only about the radiator after an intermediate of the room temperature (or rather the delta to the heating agent)

I think the most efficient way is to have it like Michelle said, but also to use the least difference between the stages. Have the heating agent the equivalent of 1 * C differing from the outside and then have the amount of agent into the radiator also the equivalent of 1 * C differing from the room temperature
finite atlas
Yeah today is the first day i saw ice in germany

the number is off, sure but it's just a reference in order to convey my point. (the least amount of difference between the systems confers the least amount of effort and hence is the most efficient)

I would go futher and say that if there is no flow through the radiators, that also turning off the pump (if that didn't require cycling) would be best.
My ventiallation system uses water to pre-heat, and would cause cycling.
I need to install my new doors and insulate properly first, but I noticed now the heating curve is overkill

I mean that after a case of beer the durum tastes better, no taste drowned out ๐
Durum, that meat, dough, wrap and rolled, thingamajigg.
Yes, that's exactly the one.
Made by master chef Saddam himself.

they probably used it to refer to the wrap itself, and then the meaning got extended to the whole thing
no, a doner is basically the same but the wrap is different. it's more of a bun than a wrap

they said I probably just need to rebuy the yeast but I'm just going to do the whole kit
"Hello! Thanks for contacting us. I understand you want to know how long our kits are good for. We suggest using our recipe kits within 6 months of purchase for the ingredients to be at their freshest, however a lot of people will brew them within a year and have very good results. You may just want to check the kit. Taste the grains, if they taste like stale cereal or crackers you may want to replace the kit. Also, old hops kind of smell like Parmesan cheese and the malt syrup will get darker. Most likely the yeast is expired and this should be replaced with a fresh pack. Hope that helps! Please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with. Cheers!"

doesn't matter, stuff is in the air. Now, depending on your ferment, it might overcome it but it will still be dank
ashen parrot
could work
kombucha is another easy thing to make
but it does require a scoby though (the shit that ferments your brew)
something easy to ferment which doesn't require a culture is sourdough

Put a moist sensor there.
hey those moisture sensors basically use the liquid to complete the circuit. Could use the principle to have them set up in different ways
keeping with the door example, having two wires from each terminal touch every time the door closes
warm root
Yes, you can lick a lot of things and make them do things because of the lick
ashen parrot
(this is just for illustration purposes, would be pretty redundant not to use an actual door sensor in that case)
no, without the licking man
I was extrapolating the principle
the moisture is just what completes the circuit. Could complete the circuit in other ways, is what Im saying

Pet raccoons are not allowed in Sweden

I'll bet that raccoons rarely wander far from where they're born

If there is food they breed, so coming to Sweden would be pretty silly

Pet raccoons are not allowed in Sweden
where are they allowed in europe?
in germany, they are only allowed if you have a large outdoor cage for them and you'd need to be approved

Youโd be surprised. In Germany they are only allowed if you have a large cage.

We have 6 cats, I am guessing that 1 box wouldn't cope with 6 cats?
it can, I just wouldn't have that be their only litterbox. while the litter-robot does in fact handle many cats it's still safer to follow the 1 litterbox per cat rule for the sole reason that multiple cats occasionally need to do their business at the same time. wouldn't want cat #2 going on the floor next to the thing while cat #1 still inside using it etc

So, 3d printers, any hot leads on Black Friday specials, or good first printer? COntinuning from #general-archived ๐
hollow glacier
how big
tender jewel
No Idea. Will be my first 3d printer. Probably use it a lot for making jigs for woodworking, and for various HA/camera stuff.
Creality Ender 6 ?
tender jewel
All I was suggestd was "core xy"
hollow glacier
https://www.creality3dofficial.com/products/creality-ender-5-plus-3d-printer i have this and it's pretty painless to get started
top and bottom come pre assembled you just put the two halves together
only real downside is it comes with an 8bit board so it's loud. new 32bit boards come with silent stepper drivers which make it quieter
you can learn how to use it and then upgrade the board later
that size is nice cuz you can print really large things. if you dont need one that big you can save quite a bit
frosty gazelle
^^^all of this
as a carpenter I'm sure you can figure out squaring this shit as you assemble ๐

Trying to understand ender-5 vs ender-5-plus vs ender-5-pro...
hollow glacier
5 doesnt exist, pro is smaller and worse design, 5 plus is the one you want
you can try the ender 3 series and get a smaller cheaper printer
i have two ender3v2 and two ender3pro (3v2 is the pro with a couple upgrades)
the newer generation are called the ender 3v2 neo
tender jewel
Was thinking about that. Half the price, and can learn on that, then add a bigger one later.
tender jewel
Every time you say "or" my brain goes ๐คฏ
hollow glacier
there's no perfect right answer
ender 3v2 is down to $199 on sale which makes ender 3 pro basically no reason to buy
then from there you go to ender 3 s1 or s1 pro (only difference is the hot end assembly and cost here)
tender jewel
199 sale where?
hollow glacier
problem is
ender 3 s1 and s1 pro basically take a good design and make it better.. but they charge you so much for those upgrades that you are better off buying an ender 3 pro or 3v2 and then upgrading it yourself with even better upgrades for cheaper than the ender 3 s1 / s1 pro models
and frankly most of those upgrades arent even that useful for basic printing needs
tender jewel
Includes the silent board. I should just buy that?
hollow glacier
i have two and think they're great
tender jewel
Plus some filament.
hollow glacier
dont even use the filament it comes with
it's a tiny roll of shit
and it needs a couple mandatory upgrades out of the box
tender jewel
I see on that url it has $36 for 2kg PLA. Is that any good?
hollow glacier
before even printing
tender jewel
"upgrades"? ๐ฆ
hollow glacier
i dont buy creality filament.. mixed reviews online
$12 capricorn tube to replace the stock one it comes with (stock one offgasses at normal printing temps and it's made of teflon so not ideal to breathe in)
https://www.amazon.com/Capricorn-Bowden-Tubing-Pneumatic-PTFE/dp/B086MPP7CX this kit comes with both of the suggestions.
second upgrade is those yellow springs
hollow glacier
I see on that url it has $36 for 2kg PLA. Is that any good?
$15-$20 a spool for 1kg PLA is an average price across most brands including better brands
https://www.amazon.com/WINSINN-Extruder-Creality-Upgraded-Aluminum/dp/B07SY745CF third upgrade which isnt mandatory but will be necessary eventually ($15)
tender jewel
does this include all three upgrades?

Just prefer local shipping if possible.
