@npub1eee…e209 the recent beta reduced how often live activities updated due to NAND usage. Maybe Apple didn’t want to roll this change back to 17 as well, hence sports only working on 18?

The Dodgers / Yankees game is on Apple TV+ Friday Night Baseball. This means I have to watch it via the Apple TV app which does not have the awesome spatial features of the MLB app for the Vision Pro. Kind of embarrassing for Apple if you ask me.

@npub1p9k…865w i changed it to 50% infill and 5 walls it’s a baton but my printer is skipping walls on some layers for some reason. That’s a prusa issue I presume.
Thanks for all of the info! I ran my battery down to 10% on Vision Pro but I knew because I had a massive battery on the ceiling lol.

2024-02-24 21:17:13

@npub1p9k…865w ah ok so yours sits level and doesn’t slide I’d assume of course. The slightest touch and mine slides down the back and off

2024-02-24 03:52:23

@npub1p9k…865w the answer was no, of course Steve, 30% larger is a dumb idea hahaha. How do you keep yours from sliding off the back? I guess I need to go into fusion and just extend the wings width and make it deeper with a taller back lip?

2024-02-24 00:07:05

@npub1p9k…865w if I do who what? Haha I went with a dowel. And then someone rear ended me at Home Depot. Can I print a new bumper? Hahah (everyone is fine, just funny how much this Vision Pro has cost)

2024-02-23 23:42:30

@npub1p9k…865w does your Pringle set flat or at a tilt? Mine went on as a tile so the headset slides off the back heh maybe the dowel just sat wrong?

@npub1p9k…865w @npub13vm…vl97 I was going to print the dowel in this pretty galaxy black (what a contrast!) but my friend said that vertical dowels are less strong and horizontal dowels come out looking like junk. I just don’t want to paint or stain, that’s why I got this printer hahahaha

2024-02-23 18:24:55

- reply

@npub1p9k…865w @npub13vm…vl97 so when I *opened* the STL with fusion, it made the model 1400mm wide haha. I was so confused. My friend had me *import* the stl as a mesh into a new document and it came over fine. In the end, I didn’t need to adjust it, so I just used PrusaSlicer.

2024-02-23 18:23:08

- reply

@npub13vm…vl97 @npub1p9k…865w that’s super frustrating if they took Prusa’s stuff, changed it and kept the same file extension. This stuff should be standardized or just be real and make a bespoke format.

2024-02-23 05:15:52

@npub1p9k…865w As a brand new 3D printer person (two prints!) I was looking at your files. PrusaSlicer does not like the 3mf at all, so I opened the stl for the pringle. Is this how you meant to print it? If I have it flat, the supports underneath are a massive amount heh

@npub15ml…2w4s do you think that one reason the battery has no data is because every battery would require a more expensive thunderbolt port? Otherwise the signals would only be corrected at the headset, adding length. Either way it would I guess. The developer strap reduces that extra length of ootential signal interference

2024-02-20 20:13:23

@npub1p9k…865w You cost me $1300. Thanks, buddy. Your Vision Pro stand was the straw that pushed me to buy a Prusa Mk4 😂
