ad5m pro, any way to add an ams?

I'm wondering if there is any way to get an ams working with it either legitimate in ecosystem or custom firmware, mostly just want to know what my options are because being able to print a buffer layer between pla supports and print with a different filament seems great and did not know it was as easy as it is at the time I got it,

for purely dust collection with the cheapest filters money can barely buy, are you able to vacuum or blow the dust off to reuse them?

I can't find great info about this because these filters are made to be single use disposable for homes, however I want to build a box with these

https://www.amazon.com/20x30x1-Fiberglass-Self-Retaining-Pressure-Efficiency/dp/B0H49782HS

for as cheap as humanly possible, and try to blow and filter dust in a room for a while. given how much dust there is you need to do a several hour long dusting of the room every few day otherwise it's everywhere, this room has been cleaned craptastic for the better part of 20 years, and there is no realistic way to clean it to the level it needs to be cleaned. to make the dust a small issue.

given how bad the room is in places and on things, I am wondering if I can vacuum the dust off and keep using it. if you can't tell most of the reasons you shouldn't I am completely not caring about before this even starts, I am just trying to capture dust, not filter microscopic particles. if I can get this room to the point that after dusting a black mousepad on a desk, and coming back the next day to it being a greyish color because of dust, I can remake the filter to be more around microscopic particles, till then I effectively need a shop vac style saw dust collection system but for dust.

3d printed 'circuit board' for frets question, if you have a lot of guitar hero guitars I could use the help.

I'm trying to make a small project for just getting all the guitars I have to have mechanical frets, im converting all the really old ones to a pico pi brain, the gibson less paul wii I am just going to leave as is with its assembly but I could replace its frets,

flat board that is more or less rigid/rigid enough for the use, remove the supports on the inside of the neck to accommodate the 3d print and mechanical frets, some plastic posts I can file/sand down till they fit, and likely glue it in place, this should more or less function just like the rubber dome except mechanical and reliable opposed to the... well the ones I have not holding up well rubber

from what I can tell, the top of the green fret to the bottom of the orange is about 4 1/2 inches, the other ones I have are more or less the same.

if they are all around the same, I could design effectively a universal mounting method for at least guitar hero controllers but I don't have enough to confirm. I could probably add a bit of a wider area for the switches to rest so they could be moved to be center of the keys but the amount of slop between 4 1/2 and more or less 4 1/2 doesn't really justify/require it.

Titan points are in the deck...

Do with this what you will, I was waiting to see if I go for 3 or 5 star, given I will have to 100% a deck or come damn close, the decision... while not great... for me is just go for the 5* now.

Why does it come up in my task bar?

every now and then the damn thing opens itself and runs in the taskbar, how do I get this to no longer do that.

I have this installed for when I need a clean browser to run something, so just uninstalling is not something I want to do.

Is there a way to see what spraypaint looks like on a gun...

in or out of game, I just want to see what it looks like, what I can get in game and what requires dlc to have access to.

I can kinda see what it looks like from the spray-paint cans but that's really small and how well it applies to a gun is not really readable from the cans.

Got some questions for anyone who does tree support.

So I have been trying to dial in settings for tree supports, someone told me .25 layer difference and it was great, I think they were assuming I was doing a far larger layer Hight,

so I have a .06 layer difference, I can't for the life of me get the plastic off, I tried .26, that for the most part worked but had severe problems with the trees not supporting, it looks like the nozzle crashed into the tree... no idea how that happened when there should have been a .26mm gap between them, I ran a different .26, that had the one tree fail to support, but where the trees were there as 'supports' it seems to be the best, I then I had a .12 after that that just completely failed to support anything on 2 of the axises

I went back into the slicer and made some changed I seen on talking about 3d printers failing supports or knocking things over, input the settings, did a 12 that printed mostly flawless it had one tree kinda go off access, I then tried a .18 (this should be 3 layers) its not horrible but not perfect either, the same tree messed up and then another tree section got knocked out of the way,

I decided 2 layers of raft so everything was brimmed together so any potential issue of adhesion should have been more or less dealt with.

I took pics of each of the prints as they came out, and here is the gcode if anyone is able to see if anything is obviously going wrong.

I also took pics of the last 2 of these I printed 12 and 18 with ex on them, im not exactly sure what could be going wrong at the moment.

https://files.catbox.moe/q49974.zip

now with that out of the way, what are the settings you use for your tree supports that you found work for you, I know its a per filament and it's not all the same, but trying to understand the process that goes into figuring it out rather than kinda blindly trying to guess.

[TOMT][Short Film] Really good radiation effects, maybe fallout related

a while back I remember a short film on youtube where I think a cowboy like person was shooting a green plasma/gamma gun or something at an enemy, how much detail I am providing here probably tells you how memorable that was to me, however the thing that stuck with me is they had VERY realistic effects for what radiation does to film as an effect and tried to make everything as 'realistic' as possible with the most science fantacy kind of weapon that exists.

it was I believe primarily green, anyone know what it was?

I can't remember if it was fallout related or not but it probably grew in popularity because of it, I think it came out around the time frame of fallout 4, its possible it was on a vfx analisis video, and I'm almost positive it was on youtube.

There any software that makes splitting models and adding pins easy?

i'm not really seeing any info about this online from recent times, just near 10 year old articles and given this is something I am sure a program has to do near automatically at this point, i'm wondering if anyone knows what it would be before I need to get a good system for boolean in blender or something.

reason im looking at this is I printed a 10 hour print with tree supports I have no ability to remove without model destruction, and I tried a resin2fdm print that was 20 hours that failed at hour 4 because the printer just stopped, no idea why. if I can split a model I can orientate it so I get the best print per part, and in the event the printer fails for whatever reason, i'm not out a lot of filament.

Anyone have a go too small fast model useable for calibration and learning?

more or less want to try and learn how much support I can get away with with resin style supports, what settings I need to put into programs and addons to dial in support vs stability, along with trying to get tree supports to not... effectively become part of the model.

I just had a failed large print put something along the lines of about 1 support per mm of model and the scarring from that... god It's kinda hard to say if tree and its affinity for breaking things off would have been better, I need to find my wax picks to start in on the tree supported version.

adventure 5 pro, what is the clear plastic?

ok, first time I cleaned it I thought I had a smuge of something, I wiped more, and no, small particles were in it and just scratched the hell out of the top, then family put stuff on top that just added to it. everything is very VERY fine scratches, I am 100% sure I can polish it out, but I am looking at getting a ceramic coating I can apply to the top just so it has a protective layer far harder than whatever soft plastic is used.

Effectively I have next to no care about dealing with dust in my room for the better part of my entire life. when I need to vacuum the floor I bring in a normal size vacuum, but that's overkill for the desk along with my desk having little things that would be a pain to fish out of the full size one.

I am considering a wet/dry 1 gallon 1.5hp vacuum for my room, but that's also quite overkill, but I know what that costs and about how powerful 1.5hp is, but am just wondering about options, and yea, I could always bring the vacuum in to get dust, but part of the problem is its not in the room ready to use.
