  1. Im looking for a 19:20 inch monitor for a project and all of the ones im finding are 60 hertz with TN panels. I was wondering if anyone knew of anything that wasnt as bad? I was looking at portable monitors and I found some that were like 18.5" but they were 60hz obviously. Is there a way to overclock them to 75" reliably or will that only work with a nicer display.
  2. I have been trying to use onshape since it does have a free version however the lack of a way to force symmetry at all times has made design work really hard and In was wondering if there were any free alternatives. I dont have the money to spend a few thousand dollars on Cad software and dont love the idea of getting a subscription for something like fusion 360 since while I do do a lot of 3d modeling, Its mostly for fun. I have blender as well which I am very familiar with and use for 3d animation but the lack of a sketch mod and precise dimensions makes it a little more difficult to use for more engineering and design tasks. If anyone either knows of something to try or an addon for blender which adds the functionality let me know!
  3. Yeah my huion is a screen that I can draw on. I have a magnet on the back so I can put it on my boom arm for an extra screen on my big laptop and then slide the boom arm in front of me when I'm doing work to draw on it.
  4. I have the original gpd win max and I love it, but I want something in between my drawing tablet I connect to it and using it handheld. Is there like a 8+" touchscreen I can plug into it to use it as a tablet? I've been trying to find a screen I can plug it into and then 3d print a mount for the back to slide the win max into. If it had stylus support that would be amazing but mainly just a touch screen with ok response time, that I could use for videos, reading books, and do some sketching on/ blow up my cad models on a slightly larger screen if I'm doing cad on the go. Alternatively, if there's a touch later I can add to my 13" huion drawing tablet to just use that, that would be perfect, but I know that's a harder ask.
  5. Im starting to plan out a custom phone mod to add a slide out keyboard to either a hisense a7cc or a hisense a5 pro cc. I have lots of experience soldering and working with electronics and am trying to make a plan for this build. My initial plan was to try to adapt the slide out keyboard from another phone into this phone, originally using the unihertz titan keyboard, but I started to look more towards landscape slidephones and thought maybe trying to design a custom circuit board might be a better alternative. Im willing to spend a lot of time learning how to do that but I wanted to know if thats even feasible or if something like a custom keyboard pcb, finding switches for that board and everything related to that would be prohibitively expensive or impossible to access. Another idea I had was swapping screens with another design such as the cosmo communicator or unihertz titan, but finding e-ink panels by themselves is also difficult I know this build isn't cheap or practical, but I love color e-ink displays and physical keyboards, and have a 3d printer and cad software and wanted to give it a go!
  6. I have heard a lot of good things and a few bad things about creality and the ender 3. Tbh the 2 printers im mainly considering right now are the flsun q5 and the prusa mini+. The flsun seems like a better version of the monoprice delta printer and the kit is literally 5 parts that you bolt together which is appealing too. Ive had massive headaches with bed leveling and the fact that a delta bed is completely solid gives me a lot of hope for that, and I could get 1.5 flsun's for the price of the prusa. But then again prusa has an amazing reputation so im not sure. I know no printer in this price range is going to be perfect but im trying to use the printer as a tool for another hobby if that makes sense. Thank you so much for your help!
  7. The first one was used and was an xyz printing printer. Honestly can't remember the model name. It worked amazingly until the hot end broke and it was proprietary in every way and the company doesn't exist really anymore so I couldn't get another one. The second one was an anet A8 (I think) that I got for like 80% off during the holidays and the hot end never fit into the printer correctly, the directions talked about parts I didn't have and yeah. I'm not opposed to doing work on printers, I just want to be able to spend more time printing than fixing. I know it won't be perfect but it's my upmost priority, I'm willing to sacrifice almost every other feature for reliability essentially or ease of fixing anyway. I've had good experiences using someone else's prusa so I thought that one looked good too but it is much more expensive so I wanted to get other people's opinions. Thank you for the advice!
  8. Hello, I have had 2 3d printers in the past and both broke very quickly and everything I did to fix them would work for maybe 5 prints before they would break again so that is my bias currently with 3d printing. I have a lot of experience with cad and 3d modeling and have a few random parts for my car that I couldnt find online and had the thought of, "oh if I had a 3d printer This would be really easy" and now im here. What im looking for in a printer: I would like something more on the compact side with very good layer adhesion and print quality for mechanical components. I need to be able to print ABS and maybe nylon? I also would like auto bed leveling and the ability to be in the same room as the printer without it being very obnoxious or dangerous (so probably not resin printers). I am fine with assembly being required but I would like something with decent quality control so I dont get stuck with a dead printer. Build volume also isnt a high priority for me as well. My budget is 300-400 USD but I would love to stay below that obviously if something fits my needs! Printers I have heard about (excluding ender 3 because ive heard they have a lot of quality control issues) https://flsun3d.com/products/flsun-q5 https://www.prusa3d.com/product/original-prusa-mini-semi-assembled-3d-printer-4/ https://flashforge-usa.com/collections/flashforge-3d-printers/products/flashforge-adventurer-3-lite-3d-printer https://www.monoprice.com/Product?p_id=21711 https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=21666 Thank you!
  9. I havent tried that but i highly doubt I would have a stable enough connection for that not to be frustrating. I was mostly looking for a way for it to download the changes to a project whenever i open after effects on the other computer but idk if thats possible
  10. I didnt think about that. I was thinking about investing in a small SSD or maybe thunderbolt SSD but I just wanted to see if that was a thing. Thank you for the information
  11. Hello, I primarily do video work on my main computer but I live in a crowded living space and dont have a room to myself so I end up working a lot at the library and other public places and was hoping to find a way to work on projects without having to download the project to my laptop every time i go out. Is there a way to keep my current project in cloud storage and be able to just start working on it? I tried to look for after effects plugins that do this but wasnt able to find anything so I was hoping someone here might know of something that would work. Thanks!
  12. at the price where that would actually be a good performer something like a gpd win max makes a lot more sense though too, hmm
  13. yes ive seen that one too but it has an intel atom cpu which i was trying to avoid
  14. Ive been looking at mini windows tablets but a lot of them that I have seen have older celeron or atom cpu's and I was wondering if anyone was making smaller windows tablets (besides the gpd win max) that have more than a celeron. Thank you!
  15. Just ordered that pairing of stuff!!! Thank you all so much for your help!!!
