Dream Air LH Rant

I was heartbroken about the Dream Air LH. It was SO close to better than anything I thought possible....but it gave me wild eye strain. It did need a lot of comfort and software mods, but I was 90% of the way there. Troubleshooting with fellow uber nerds(anonymous)came back with some help, but not enough to enjoy the experience.

Returned with full refund, but I'm so wonky/uneasy that there are two in stock at a Microcenter nearby(2h drive). I could have just had bad optics...but it's just so much money to not be 100% good from start that I got depressed and just gave up.

Went back to my BSB2e and everything just working without hassle and eye comfort gave me so much relief. I am aware of the issues there, no worries, but I'll just have to wait for things to smooth out Pimax-wise, I guess. Pico Space Pro is on my radar, too.

Pimax needs to tighten up QC, and I've noticed that they ARE trying. Keep up the good work Pimax, and let me know when you have a Dream Air 2.

Classic Cinemas Interested in Movies 16!?

​

Going to the movie theaters in Janesville was a huge part of my childhood. Was hoping something magical like IMAX being interested or maybe AMC so rivalry brings up the quality in both places.....but at this point I'll take what I can get.

Beggers can't be choosers, and I personally think the Beloit theater is pretty great. Hope this materializes.

I'm not involved in the article, just found it.

Dream Air LH: SteamVR Error 303

Launching through Pimax Play is getting me Error 303. ChatGPT and I have been fighting this problem for nearing 4 hours now.

Issue is around driver_lighthouse.dll with Windows returning error 126 when attempting to load directly.

Brand new $2K device and I'm so so dissapointed.

Anyone have an idea?

Edit(9h mark):

System Info: 9800x3D/5090

Default Pimax Play Settings, Updated Firmware, Newest Version

Tentative SOLVED?: Steam MUST run in admin mode. SteamVR must launch from Steam itself.

Edit 2(13h mark):

Changed to Pimax Evo + Sboys3

Distortion in left eye, need to move left lense further but horizontal slider will not adjust.

Eye tracking isn't working. VRChat don't care.

I'm tired. Will continue with process tomorrow...

Ender v3 SE: Near the end of my wits...

Background: I'm a CAD/CAM professional with 9 years experience finally getting into the hobby. Love my Creality Otter scanner and found an external review for this printer. Primarily got it for structural items relating to VR modifications.

Day two of having the printer, and during the only third print (I did shovel ->6h part -> this 5h print) both y-axis linear bearings fell out of the housing ruining the print. I was unable to catch this in the act. Keep in mind that one felI out before when homing the machine before the first print but I WAS able to catch that before any damage to the machine.

I needed to disassemble, shove some electrical tape into those housings and wedge a zip-tie in a hole to cap them in, reassemble and test. The eccentric bearing for the head was crazy loose. Ok, I'll tighten that up I guess. Now the bed leveling is suuuper off so it's failing Z Axis auto-leveling. Gives me a QR code to a dead link for a "fix". Need to check what I may have bungled up under the hood.

This a regular thing?

Feels like they could have put a screw in that housing hole to lock the bearing into the housing and prevent ALL of this. Especially for what is to be an entirely-level product.

Anyone have tips to get back on my way? Should I just return this, I'm so distraught? Currently ripping it back to studs...
