... only work if you were printing something with a small X dimension. I suppose you could try orienting a piece of track along the Y axis to see if that might work. I've considered using two printers with different nozzles. One to print the timbers and the other to print the chairs, but that would require some reliable indexing fixture. I think it might be possible to transfer the glass plate with the timbers still attached to the "fine" nozzle printer, but it would have to be done quickly before the glass cooled down too much.

... a nozzle at 0.4 mm. We are using a glass plate heated to 60 degrees. Adhesion is rarely a problem as long as the glass is squeaky clean; we use paper towel and meths for cleaning between prints. There have been adhesion problems with small diameter prints at around 6 mill diameter or less; a cure for this was to place the small cylinder on a sacrificial larger thin disc base and truncated cone. Another problem was found when printing a cylinder with 2mm dia spigot; the plastic became distorted due to insufficient cooling time between layers. This was completely resolved by printing six components at a time. It took about seven seconds to complete each layer in the set, by which time the previous layer had cooled sufficiently to be stable. regards Les G Last edited on 12 Aug 2015 21:59 by Les G posted: 13 Aug 2015 09:51 from: Howard Les G wrote: We are currently printing PLA at 210 initial then 200 for the main print.

... Restart. Thanks Paul. More information arising. I withdraw my suggestion that this is a hardware reset fault. But it still looks to me to be a hardware problem rather than software. I changed that setting, and then found that I could do quite a bit of close zooming around 1 pixel per full screen, zooming in and out and even closer, until eventually I saw this: 2_111515_480000000.png I then had a hunch that it might simply be the graphics chip overheating, so I waited a few minutes for it to cool, and then clicked OK. Sure enough it carried on working fine. I could zoom back out and the entire computer appeared normal. I was able to make the above screenshot in the usual way. I then did a restart as instructed above, but I saw no blue screens and no error messages. This was with an 8-bit (grey-scale) bitmap at 300dpi.

Long-range forecast says May will be above average temperatures, so I'm going to risk it. Well actually they are. cheers, Martin. posted: 2 May 2020 06:02 from: Andrew Barrowman Hi Martin, Similar temps here. We're a lot further South but we're over 2000 feet up. I think we're done with frost but it could cool down again. I have gone skiing on Memorial Day here and that's at the end of May. Last year my wife insisted we buy a vacant 1/3 acre across the road to protect our view of the lake. In hindsight it might have been a brilliant investment if we have to start growing our own food Cheers! Andy posted: 2 May 2020 23:44 from: Rob Manchester Hi Martin, Yes, I did spot the first angler.

... 2008 15:09 from: Paul Boyd Hi Stan The internal reference code is unique to the format of the hard drive, so if you reformat you lose the code, as you've found. I'm sure Martin will give you a new unlock code. As far as the overheating problem goes, if you have a "marginal" PC with regard to temperature, Templot can cause problems. The mouse actions can use as much CPU power as is available- in fact I used Templot as a test program when experimenting with CPU cooling. I don't know what brand computer you have, but most will be built with the absolute minimum cooling they can get away with which is fine for general office use, but not so fine with programs such as Templot that work the CPU hard. By the way, if you reinstalled and all is fine except for your lock code, the CPU isn't fried, but given what it's been through I would replace it and fit the biggest heatsink you can physically get in the case.

Proof sheet dimensions are 150.5mm& 250.8mm. Head Factor is 99.78%; Roller Factor is 100.08%. Am I doing anything wrong?

... heat from a gas flame, significantly anneals and softens rail, making it ideal for such jobs as forming rail-built buffer stops, but then it is dreadfully prone to kinks if used that way for track building. But low-temperature oven-tempering keeps cropping up, and again today, from a source I regard as authoritative: Oven tempering of nickel silver only requires about 250 degrees and you leave it in the oven long enough to get the rails to that temperature (30 minutes or so). Allow to cool slowly at room temperature- don't cool fast with water or you'll essentially anneal and soften the rails and when you solder to them it will then induce new stresses. This only has to be done anytime once, you are removing the production stresses of the drawing. As far as I know, oven tempering of nickel-silver rail is unknown here in the UK. Countless UK layouts have been built with untempered NS rail, without the sky falling in. Or any problems at all that I know of. So I ...
... trying to optimise that aspect, so if anyone else has any ideas, I'll be glad to hear them! Paul If you are soldering in situ on the layout then solder every third or fourth sleeper and work your way right along the length, then start again on each second sleeper etc. This way the rail never gets too hot. If you work your way along soldering each sleeper the rail does get quite hot and although it may not cause you any problems as you work it will have expanded slightly and as it cools all those joints will be under stress. If you are soldering single lengths on the bench it shouldn't make any difference. Geoff posted: 25 Jul 2013 15:08 from: Paul Boyd Charles asked: By the way, are we both in Leicestershire?

10. Go slow on a Mac
... . What other programs are running on the system at the same time, both in Crossover and natively on the Mac? The only work-around I can suggest is to close down as much as possible of everything else, so that only Templot is running. Is it on a laptop? If the Templot data-entry runs very slow or stops on a laptop the most likely reason is that the increased processor activity is overheating the CPU. Try raising the laptop to increase airflow underneath it, cleaning any fluff from the cooling-fan blades, and in extremis standing it on a pack of frozen peas. I will try to get this fixed, because it is obviously not a satisfactory situation. regards, Martin. posted: 28 Dec 2012 18:04 from: Simon Dunkley Hi Martin, It is a desktop iMac: not running anything other than finder and mail.

... Internet connection here is average. Matt M. posted: 17 Oct 2018 23:58 from: Rob Manchester John, As you may note the gradient is downhill to the left of the screen- hence the trucks moving left to right on the freeway are much slower paced. The trains moving downhill are using the dynamic brakes to keep the speed down to a safe level- those are heavy trains! Dynamic brakes use the axle traction motors to brake the train and dump the power into big resistor grids which are in turn cooled by roof mounted fans. If it were an electrified railroad the power generated could be fed back to power other trains. Rob posted: 18 Oct 2018 00:15 from: Rob Manchester Charles Orr wrote: I visit this site regularly.

... 2018 00:00 from: Rob Manchester Hi Martin, Thanks for the suggestions re the( plastic) chairs. I was thinking of doing each chair in situ but as you point out the chances of keeping the rail level would be slim. Have you ever made a souffle? Correct mixture+ correct time+ correct heat=bingo but get any one wrong and disaster- don't ask me how I know At least with a souffle you are cooking it all rather than trying to warm some of it and keep the rest cool.

I want to get as much done in the shortest time possible so I don't die with never having seeing all my On2.5 dream run though a convincing scenes.

At present Templot is defying all attempts by me to learn how to get a accurate template of Beech Forest station down so I can hand lay my tracks in the space (24 ft long) that I have set aside for that station. That is I haven't even worked out how to move a peice track so it's on top of where the background picture says were the track should be placed. It could be said that I'm not even passed square one.

As another aside there are always little issues wen running in bootcamp as the way Apple runs displays and issues with Retina type screens has alway given me some moments. I had a Windows compliant 2D CAD program that would lose completed circles behind the drawing surface. They were still there you just couldn't see them. 1. If you want a 16 inch Macbook Pro then yes it is Intel or nothing at the moment. That comes with it's own set of problems due to the diffident cooling design of the laptop and the over heating of both the CPU and the GPU. There are ways around this but you need an external GPU to run external screens with out the fans screaming and the heat issues shortening the life of your expensive purchase. 2. Most of your native Apple stuff that was running in Catalina should run in Big Sur. But as usual there are always surprises. See Apple's Bootcamp problems above. 6. Apple doesn't really encourage firing OS running on their machines. There are ways to build ...
... :36 from: Martin Wynne Thanks John. The quality seems to have got poorer than it was an hour ago. Perhaps the current load on the servers has an effect, at mid-evening in the UK. On the other hand, the presence of moving video in the image may affect the encoding for the whole image. It does seem quite a bit better on my small tablet computer (but also out of sync with the large screen). The CPU has not got any warmer, in fact may have cooled a little, so this is probably doable in that regard.

... at the construction stage, without needing any changes to the template. Given the way Templot works it would be a major programming task, and I'm not convinced it would be a good use of my time. If connection to 16.5mm flexi-track is required, it is easier to do it on the flexi-track rather than the pointwork. Connect it to a bit of 16.2mm track, warm up the rail ends with a soldering iron so that the chairs can soften and adjust, and hold it down flat while it cools. That way the 16.2mm pointwork is not compromised and could be lifted and re-used at a later date. regards, Martin. posted: 14 Sep 2015 11:35 from: madscientist Tks. Good idea re flexi. My comments relate to creating 00-SF gauge narrowing at the crossing area only and making the turnout 16.5 at the ends. I find it easiest to flare out the heel and toe of the turnout so that the turnout can be used anywhere there is standard 16.5 track. What the issue ...
