I have been paid for and paid for CAD and other impacted engineering products including software. AI is unfair… How?
I can see some issues with copyright, and I acknowledge it will upset economies. But being able to ‘automate’ photo to 3d, and so many other tools that enable me so much to do things that wouldn’t have happened before, it’s unimaginable to many around me. Change is scary, strap in.
I tried Meshy and Trellis and Hitem. Next I’ll try printmon.
Hitem has the best free option and portrait mode. Made some great busts.
Meshy looked great if cartoony with its model 6, but only let me download from model 4, which was a surprise and made monsters.
Trellis was in between and I ran out of huggingface tokens quickly.
I’d use hitem all day but not interested in paid subscriptions for my passing hobby. Hoping Bambu is handy with printmon again, though I expect it may be proprietary.
Also, all needed some cleanup, Bambu could fix slice and print but not adjust details and cuts. Started with Blender but the interface is hard for a CAD person. Switched to using Meshmixer, which works great, and just using Bambu to do a final fix of the stl before slice. Make solid is a helpful tool in Meshmixer if you get a good looking but imperfect stl, but you have to be careful to avoid losing detail.
Thanks, I’ll try printmon next. Any hidden limits or fees?
Good point. Can only trust the device and service as far as the company. And nobody is giving good reason to trust Cape.
Thanks for the feedback. For clarity, Cape is offering a GrapheneOS installed out of box to the user for a surcharge. This is what connected the title: https://www.cape.co/blog/cape-supports-grapheneos
Dude, its Russia Times They dont get to say what the west thinks. They say what they want the west to think.
This is very true for me. Same for a lot of history museums, which are full of historic arts and crafts.
Like, some native art is just old craft, not actually good art to me, but some ancient cultures had a wild perspective and the art matches.
I thought like you once.
I agree this war, and many, are unjust.
Somewhere around 9/11 and Iraq I had to learn that the military is a necessity, and they can also be abused. I suppose my grand dad learned that when he was drafted for the big one, and we talked about it - in our way, after 9/11 when it all seemed to go sideways.
It’s a shame we send our volunteers on missions like this. It’s a shame we have to draft people to protect ourselves. It’s a shame we lay shame on our service members when they are misused and abused by our politicians.
The military is a tool. Soldiers are people.
I hope you can learn that too, some day.
