Did you read the article on Ars about it? They do have some valid-ish reasons to say no
But we all know the real answer is 100% "money"
primal laurel
I read the conclusions somewhere. I find it weird how F1 can say they wouldn't be competitive. That depends entirely on the competence of your engineering department. They would probably be at the level of Haas
gleaming crater
Yeah that reason is complete BS looking at the back half of the grid
I think the fact that they don't have an engine just yet is the biggest valid reason, and renault almost being forced to supply them and give away stuff in the process
Seems like you'd get a hostile partnership that way
Let us borrow your engine for 2 years while we're figuring out how to build ours
it's all still very much a cutting off your nose to spite your face kinda decision by F1
primal laurel
I'm sure they could find an arrangement where the engine would be integrated with minimal access to company IP
it's not like RB where they develop it together
it's limited to integration into the car. Which is obviously also complex, but I'm sure they could figure it out
gleaming crater
Taking another vendors engine is super limiting anyways, you’re forced to contend with their suspension points and housing profile
primal laurel
also I don't see how that's F1's problem. It would be between andretti and renault
gleaming crater
Engine suppliers are compulsory in F1 tho
I'm sure so you can't decide to leave a competitor without in the middle of a season lol

Also the non-AMS spool holder on the Bambu is crap

Resin printers don't
They use UV reactive liquid resin that's hardened into a solid by UV light passing through an LCD. They expose a layer at a time and the gantry moves up a layer from the LCD for the next.

extrusion is kind of the whole schtick of FDM
solar zealot
i suppose it wouldnt be feasable to get the liquified plastic to extrude in different ways to forcing more material in
prisma briar
I think you'd have a hard time building up any real pressure with a standard fdm printer extruder
If you're talking about basically using it as an injector
I've seen large 3D printers that have extruders that force pellets through a hotend with an auger
With like 5mm nozzles
solar zealot
i saw a video about screw extruders which both liquify and transport the molten stuff around
would be interesting if such thing could be build at a much smaller scale with a larger reservoir for holding more material
i could see this allowing for much greater flowrates
prisma briar
solar zealot
yes!
prisma briar
I have a 4->1 mixing nozzle that has a heated chamber on it it mixes probably a hundred or so ml of filament in it, the main barrier I've had to regularly using it is that retracting filament from the chamber doesn't relieve pressure well enough so it constantly strings and leaves bits of filament everywhere when it should be retracting
https://www.phaetus.com/products/drangonfly-hotend-hic This is the hotend I normally use on my Ender 3
It can do like 2x the flow rate of the stock Ender hotend
Which is enough that my bottleneck becomes the rigidity of my frame
solar zealot
did you also change the firmware to match the higher temperatures / higher heater wattage?
prisma briar
Yea, I put Klipper on my Ender 3 and run it all from an RPi now
Marlin is nice but having to recompile firmware and flash the board every time you want to tweak a printer setting gets old fast
Klipper puts a basic firmware on the board that accepts instructions from the RPi on things like what pins to turn on and off instead of things like 'move the printer here' like Marlin does
So reconfiguring Klipper is as easy as editing a config and reloading a daemon on the RPi
solar zealot
i ended up just going the octoprint way
prisma briar
Also Klipper will let you use multiple controller boards as if they're one printer which I needed for the extra extruders for the mixing hotend

the choice of using microsd slots instead of plain ol usb a is pretty wild

Would've been more back when things like Marlin started development though
Marlin was made with really low-end 8 bit AVR's in mind

fair enough i guess
the whole kits never were really expensive
but today they could drop in a usb and lan port

Yea, you can often find an Ender 3 for $99
solar zealot
Do people buy used printers
Or would it be better to scrap them for parts
The ender ones have nice profiles which could be reused for different fun

If I ever get offered a used printer for cheap (like <$50) I'll probably take it and rebuild it
I definitely would reduce it to parts off the bat and probably throw at least some of them away
Any more than around $50 and I would just buy an Ender 3 kit
I wouldn't recommend doing that for your first printer, though. You'll just be inheriting somebody else's headache

proximity and time based heat. let the thing cool down to 5c if noone has been in there for 3 hours. (sometime noone goes in there to work for a week or more, no point heating it to human comfort)
upper nymph
So we're planning a house and are thinking about solar, storage, etc. and I'm trying to figure out how much electricity we will require. I have numbers for our current energy use at home, for EV charging, and for heating water. What I'm struggling to figure out is how much electricity we would require for heating.
We currently have district heating in our flat and I back-calculated that we've probably used about 3500 kWh of heat last season. Let's say that our house will be 2x the size of our flat - what kind of an electricity estimate can I use if I assume that our heating requirement for one season would be 7 MWh?
I know this will vary a lot by the precise type of heat pump (ground source, air source, etc) and the tonnage, but I'm trying to find some kind of a ball park figure. I'm not even sure what size of a heat pump we'd require.
This is all VERY early stages... Won't be building for at least another year or two.
solar zealot
7mwh may not be enough
over the last fourish months we used about 500m³ of gas for heating / hot water, which would roughly be 5Mwh
which is about 120m³ over two floors
last yearly bill was around 1100m³ for the whole year, with no heating during summer
not sure how exactly that translates to electricity fed into a heatpump
dire spear
my badly insulated 600ish sft house with resistive heat uses up to 2000kw/m in the winter
upper nymph
Our flat is 70m² and the plan is to build between 120m² and 160m² (at the very very most).
In the flat, we have district heating and I have no idea what the precise usage is. I back-calculated from the building's common bill + our share xD
dire spear
ah
upper nymph
It's possible that our actual heat use is lower, but I have no idea how to check
dire spear
with a heat pump in a mild climate ("flat" i assume uk?) you should probably be under 1000kwh a month in the coldest months
per 1000sft
its gets to -30c here, so i need... uh.. more
house sealing plays a huge factor. even mroe than insulation
solar zealot
with a flat the people below, above and next to you also kinda heat for you, which reduces your losses quite a bit

Slight disadvantage there for us - we're a corner flat. There's a passage below us, so we only share "two sides" with neighbours and three sides are exposed to the outside.
dire spear
its amazing just how much air escapes
upper nymph
I'm kind of at a loss for how much electricity I should estimate for heating our house.
dire spear
there actual math for this
upper nymph
It doesn't need to be precise obviously but I would like some kind of vague ballpark figure so I can at least start looking at PV and storage systems xD
I will eventually have to get a so called "Energieberater" who'll calculate all this for us, but having a ballpark figure would be nice.
dire spear
basically you need to get an approximate conductive heat loss. air exchanges per hour, and the differential with the outside temp
solar zealot
the best would be simply asking the architects to have this calculated for you in terms of how many energy it will need
dire spear

Will be a hot minute till architects are involved 😄
Like I said, very early days
solar zealot
if its just throwing a rough number together, it likely wont be more than 15MWh
dire spear
solar zealot
unless you leave the windows open
upper nymph
So that's the amount of heat I'd need, right?
dire spear
yes. add some % capacity for safety etc
upper nymph
There's no way to estimate how much electricity I'd require to generate that much heat with a heat pump? I'm guessing there are way too many variables?
dire spear
that literally is the amount of electricity
dire spear
but its instantaneous. so the worst case in your location for example. you then need to pick a more average usage. you can get that by entering your cities average temperatures for a given month.
you need to size the heater for the worst day you can imagine. but the average use will be 1/4 that or even less through the year.
so here, i need like 25000+ btus cause it could drop to -35c and bad insulation. but the more average use is probably 5000btu. cause MOST days in winter are above -10c (its actually plus right now).
upper nymph
So that would be approx 7.3 kW worst case and 1.5 kW average, right?
And then I need to calculate how many hours I'll be pulling those many kW to get my power consumption?
dire spear
on mine yeah
upper nymph
Okay.
dire spear
yeah. if its 1.5 average x 6 months (here) x 24 hours
upper nymph
Huh. Just found this
dire spear
ha
seems maybe a bit too basic a calculation
ive used a few of these and the math is sometimes waaaay off

usually makes less. humans are heaters
200w or so

i kinda wonder why more people relates to more heat energy needed
because more rooms need to be heated all the time
solar zealot
because more rooms need to be heated all the time
its still the same area
dire spear
yeah. this is fundamentally the same as a comuter monitor backlight
dire spear
its still the same area
more occupied room i think is what they mean
but even still. a human body should lower heat needed
solar zealot
can only imagine its more breathing = more venting through open windows
primal laurel
january was pretty cold, consumed about 500 kWh in heating
primal laurel
can only imagine its more breathing = more venting through open windows
more people = more rooms you need to keep at tempreature
primal laurel
that's a lot
upper nymph
ive used a few of these and the math is sometimes waaaay off
Good to know.
dire spear
thbats not all heat, but mostly heat
solar zealot
more people = more rooms you need to keep at tempreature
the amount of rooms doesnt matter for the heat being lost
its just a spacer
primal laurel
it's about how many rooms you want to keep warm
primal laurel
when I visit my parents its one extra room to keep warm
otherwise the heat would be off
same for my other family members
dire spear
its about the area
no. when you have smarter thermostats, they can lower the temp in rooms noone is in
solar zealot
we are talking about the calculator above which both lists persons and heated area
dire spear
but for sure most houses just keep the whole house constant
solar zealot
you can lower the temperature of individual rooms, but that would decrease the area you are heating
like thats the relationship, no matter the presence of humans or not
dire spear
i think you are reading too much into a simplistic calculator. all it is trying to do is create an average usage of the house
primal laurel
it's probably just taking a table
solar zealot
its just interesting to know what the human in this equation is
there must be a reason
dire spear
primal laurel
there must be a reason

more people in a house also means the house is bigger
on average
solar zealot
thats literally included in the "heated area"
dire spear
9 cold days in jan, 5 "very" cold of those. 2500kwh. about 2000 for heat.
important to note my house is under renovation and has some big holes leaking out heat. so its worse than normal
solar zealot
thats literally included in the "heated area"
ie you see where there was no occupation of our house represented by no electricity getting used by us
this does not relate at all to how much heat is getting put into the house
the heated area staed the same while the amount of people was 0
solar zealot
this wouldnt really safe anything, its in floor heating
primal laurel

a "tiny house" is over 188sft, under 799. and has to meet all the same code as a regular house
but the permits are streamlined, $1000 flat rate, no dev charges
tiny hosue im working on

yea your typical shed is no diffrent than ours. sure your "codes" might be a little diffrent but the structures are the same
you probably just have to pay more with more restrictions
dire spear
nah, cheaper here. we have all the treeees
😛
(it is actually though on average cheaper here)
depens on a lot of factors though

who the hell buys plans for a shed? I could maybe see a prebuilt kit but plans.....
Selling building plans is a huge business, lol
That shit takes a lot of time and having a vetted up to code design to start from can save many thousands of dollars
dire spear
yup
and while YOU (and i) may just know what we are doing and not need it, most people do not.
$100 or even $1000 on a good plan can save you huge money
(full regular house plans are often about $1000)
prisma briar
If I were to start designing one myself I'd start in CAD still
Can you even get a building permitted without drawings?
dire spear
no

prebuilt sheds are not that expensive to begin with and the kits are even cheaper

I think what he's talking about is a bit bigger than what you store your lawn mower in
forest edge
anyone willing to build thier own is likely going to plan thier own. but even at that. it's a shed.. an oversized bird house
there is no plan
prisma briar
Most people like to have a plan when they approach a problem like that
Just going at it with a nail gun and some 2x4's is not a good idea
forest edge

he said something along the line sof 40+ft but still the design is the same
dire spear
youre welcome to have a go at this without a plan though. film it. 😛
prisma briar
He'd probably just use 5x the materials needed for it
dire spear
ha

I might. That looks like I could put it together solo.

It's called a foundation
forest edge
no
dire spear
I might. That looks like I could put it together solo.
this. i could lift the whole roof up on top by myself
forest edge
that is not a foundation

Looks like a tiny foundation for a tiny building to me

it sits on rock

that yours?
forest edge
it sits on rock
it sits in a flood zone you say?
dire spear
that yours?
yes
prisma briar
"I could totally do this myself with no plans" "What's the purpose of that thing the house is sitting on?"
dire spear
it sits in a flood zone you say?
it has flooded. niagara falls is down the road
dire spear
nice, looks really good
thanks
forest edge
atleast you have an excuse i suppose
most don't build sheds in the middle of a river
dire spear
the floor sits on steel joists as well.
forest edge
younger generations, always over complicating the most simplest of things
dire spear
most don't build sheds in the middle of a river
do not confuse yourself with most people
prisma briar
It's hilarious that you can't imagine the reasoning behind something as simple as laying a solid foundation for a building
forest edge
do not confuse yourself with most people
you think most people build sheds in a flood zone?
prisma briar
There's entire cities in flood zones, man
dire spear
you think most people build sheds in a flood zone?
im not in a flood zone, im on the top of a fucking cliff

I wouldn't even call that a shed. looks like a small greenhouse

Also flooding isn't the only reason you lay a foundation for a building, lol.
dire spear
forest edge

there is a foundation then there is flood protection.. it's a shed not a home where a floor is half way inground lol

@shy comet how about that rain?
dire spear
a greenhouse with white oak floors?
prisma briar
I never said a foundation didn't help protect from a flood, I said that floods aren't the only reason to install a foundation
For one a foundation keeps the floor and wood off of the wet soil so it won't age nearly as fast

For another as long as it's going down to rock it won't move and shift from erosion

what does your vision of a typical not built to code shed have to do with mine?
forest edge
anything more complicated than that is either over engineered or for a specific purpose such as constant flooding lol
prisma briar
Not sure why you think that foundation is that far off of what he did in concept either
forest edge

not too bad here, the street isnt a river lol...how about you?
prisma briar
I have the same question
forest edge
Not sure why you think that foundation is that far off of what he did in concept...
not refering to his shed plans

If you can't see what's wrong with putting 4x4's in the wet dirt then I can't help you

are you kidding?

Nothing spectacular. lol 2 more days right?

Do you only expect sheds to last 15 years?
forest edge
you never heard of treated lumber?
dire spear
my shed will rule for a sousand years!
prisma briar
Treated lumber ages quickly compared to a proper stone foundation
dire spear
you never heard of treated lumber?
yeah its garbage, not rated to last more than 5 years with direct contact
forest edge
wow
prisma briar
In general, wooden ties may need to be replaced every 7 to 10 years, while concrete ties can last for up to 30 years. Factors such as weather, usage, and the type of train using the tracks can also affect how often you should go about replacing railroad ties.
dire spear
we do have a special wood here for making basements
(yes we have wood full basements)
dire spear
treated with WHAT?
forest edge
and lol @ railroad ties
dire spear
treated with kreosote which is banned for residential use
prisma briar
That shit is illegal and horrible to be near
dire spear
the stuff we use foir basements i think is also banned in the uSA
and probably will be banned here soon
leeches copper if i remember

i've dug up shed "railroad" ties that has been in the ground for longer than both of your ages combined that was still prestine

too lazy to go look it up right now

if you do something poorly, it won't last

Everything you've described is the poor/incorrect way to do something

if you do thijngs to the building code, yuo get approved and dont have to tear it down.

nah, pretty much everything you mention is either not allwoed by code or bad practice
prisma briar

Oh, you didn't link a video that described your idea of a foundation?
I must've hallucinated that
