Nachdem ich für meine Freundin (Grundschullehrerin) bereits unzählige Stunden meines Lebens mit laminieren und ausschneiden verbracht habe, habe ich mir überlegt einen Plotter und evtl auch ein automatisches Laminiergerät zu kaufen.

Plotter gibt es einige zu kaufen, von günstig bis teuer. Welche lohnen sich hier und wie einfach sind sie in der Anwendung bei immer wieder wechselnden Schnittmustern?

Automatische Laminiergeräte gibts leider nur in teuer (>1000€), hat hier jemand evtl schon eine gute günstigere DIY Lösung gebaut? Selbst konstruieren und 3d Drucken wäre kein Problem.

What places are a good starting point to find more casual focused squadrons? Any good discord servers that act as a hub?

Im struggeling with finding a good keyboard and mice combination and mounting solution for my aluminium extrusion sim rig. How did you guys solve the issue?

I was having frequent black screen issues with my Dream Air, just like a lot of other people here. Pimax agreed to send me a replacement headset, and it finally arrived today.

After about two hours of testing, the new headset doesn't seem to suffer from the same black screen crashes.

My Studioform kit and Apple Solo Knit back strap also arrived, and the headset is very comfortable to wear now.

The only thing that's still terrible is the eye tracking. It still sucks balls.

Da der ReFü mal wieder im Homeoffice nicht erreichbar und ich die Anwesenheitszeit jeden dritten Dienstags von 1215 bis 1223 verpasst habe eine Frage an die Allgemeinheit.

​

Aktuell sind keine meiner 2 Wohnungen Trennungsgeldberechtigt. Nächstes Jahr werde ich versetzt.

Wenn ich mir jetzt vor Versetzung in der nähe der neuen Dienststelle (dann >30km, ~400km zur jetztigen Dienstelle) eine Wohnung hole, habe ich nach Versetzung dann einen Trennungsgeldanspruch mit dieser?

I have done some more testing on the Dream Air eyetracking with the Broken Eye software. It seems like my eyes are too close to the lenses to track. When I pull the headset ~1cm of my face, it starts working. Obviously the lens distortion and fov is way worse this way.

Anybody experiencing the same issue on stock face mask? Hows eyetracking working for you guys with custom face masks that get the eyes even closer to the lens?

I know studioform is recommended all the time but their shipping is pretty expensive and takes ages. Any good alternatives that ship directly from EU?

Had some time today to try out my new Dream Air SLAM that has arrived this week and want to give some quick impressions. This is not a full review.

Packaging/Unpacking experience

Plain and simple box. A bit more cushioning material on top of the headset would not have hurt.

The headset is pretty light, making it feel a tad cheap. I wish they hadn't gone with a glossy plastic. No instantly apparent production deficits though.

Setup/Software

Pimax Play doesn't have too many settings to play around with, good for a new user, not as good for experienced users. Some of the settings seem buggy, the set resolution for specific games eg doesn't seem to save and resets to 100% every time. The 3d home environment planet looks incredibly bad and cheap. Instantly disabled that one.

The software or maybe the headset itself seemed to crash a couple of times during assetto corsa and rebooted withing ~20 seconds. Not yet 100% sure, what caused this.

Eye Tracking

Eye Tracking doesn't seem to work as of now. 9/10 times the calibration crashes, and if it does calibrate successfully, it still doesn't work properly. Extremely inaccurate and delayed, completely unusable in games. This is my biggest gripe with the headset right now.

Head Tracking

Solid, no jittering. Placed my head on the ground and moved my playspace a couple of times though.

Controller Tracking

Not as bad as I expected. The controllers feel a little cheap. When in general view of the headset they work somewhat reliably. Im mostly a sim-player. If I wanted to only play roomscale games with the headset, Id be happier with Index controllers. For a game of Beatsaber or HLA once in a while they are alright.

Comfort

The facial interface has a lot of light leakage around the nose and presses hard against the forehead. Its good enough to tolerate for a week, but if they don't ship out the improved interface soon, ill definitely print an replacement.

Its a lot harder to tilt the headset correctly on the face due to the audio stems, compared to a Index. Not a big fan. Maybe this will be less of a problem with a better facial interface.

The current backstrap sucks. I have to open it every time I put on the headset. It has twisted or completely slipped out of the metal loop a couple of times, making it annoying to close again behind the head.

The cable is bad, especially the box. The splitter box catches my t-shirt collar whenever I move my head while standing, tugging on the headset. I have strapped the box up to the fabric backstrap which brings it out of the way while playing, but makes taking the headset on/off even more annoying. Its alright for a simpit, but I probably wouldn't go wired again for roomscale.

Visuals

Very high resolution, solid sweetspot, some brown tint and blur on the outer ~20% of the lens. Slight blurriness when moving the head but not very noticeable. The OLED colours weren't as impressive as I had hoped. The panels seems to handle low fps better than the Index did.

The dials in the cockpit are very crisp and easy to read. If eyetracking worked, im sure this would be awesome to fly in. As of now I have to turn down the settings quit a lot though to get 72 fps in dcs (rtx5080)

Audio

Good enough. Ill still probably go for a better audio solution at some point, but till then I won't be missing out on much. I turned down the speakers to 60%.

Conclusion

Not yet 100% sure if I am going to keep the headset. It mostly depends on whether I can get eyetracking to work and whether ill get more crashes while playing.

I'm currently designing a 3D printable Halo strap for the Dream Air since I don't want to wait years for the pimax version. Sadly I haven't received my goggles yet and therefor can't disassemble mine.

Is there any way to disassemble the audio stems to get to the cable? Id hate to have the stems need to stay plugged in with no function.

Auf Amazon und Co gibts eine Fülle von Geräten von 30 bis 3000€.

Welche nutzt ihr und was taugts?

According to the Community Shipping Tracker the first DA SLAM has been delivered this week. Has anybody here already received theirs and can comment on tracking quality?

Ich erinnere mich in meiner GA, mitte der 2010er, einen olivenen ABC-Poncho ausgegeben bekommen zu haben.

Der Poncho bestand aus schweren, robusten, gummiartigen Stoff. Ich denke es handelte sich um diesen "Regenponcho" (bin mir jedoch nichtmehr 100% sicher).

Gibts die Teile noch in der Bundeswehr?
