wierd_w Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I hope it brings you many years of happiness--- Just be aware that filament based printers like this have severe problems with overhangs unless you generate supports. When designing things to produce, you DO need to keep that in mind. a good rule of thumb is anything "flatter" than a 45 degree overhang is too much side-travel on the pass, and it will just glob in the air unless there is a support.

xabin Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 http://themodzoo.com/forum/index.php?/topic/931-the-caffeine-machine/ Not a TI, but I thought you guys would find this interesting. It was featured in an issue of PC Gamer, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your statement about an autolevelling bed is certainly on the mark. Gonna have to get a new magnetic bed plate for it already. My biggest beef with it right now is that I will spend 15-30 mins leveling the bed and offsetting the home start position only to have it reset BEYOND the plate and say " Ok Boss I totally didn't Listen so lets just start anyway."

Not PC compatible but similar. Poor TI didn't get the direction that the world was moving. Compatibility was more important than 'special features". I read about it a magazine and it was deemed to be a good machine but not exactly like a PC. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I have a TI Professional with hard disk. It is an 8088 system with proprietary graphics card, running MS-DOS 2.x. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned a lot of application software on one of those - PeachTree Accounting, PeachText, Lotus 1-2-3, I forget what others. Like some other PC makers (Kaypro...) the DOS was licensed from MS, with other software houses hired to port their applications. I carried TIPC disks-at least the DOS- around for decades - dunno what finally happened to those. It wasn't TI's last DOS machine. The TI Travelmate series of fully-compatible PC laptops lasted into the 90s, when it sold to Toshiba. I played a lot of Ultima 5 on a TI Travelmate, and other DOS games. Also in the 90s, TI manufactured CPUS for Cyrix and branded them under the TI name as well.

+FarmerPotato Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Sharing this from Hackaday. I love this hand-drawn PCB trace style. I just assembled a kit that was made in Copper Connection, which generates curves. This is fascinating. https://hackaday.com/2020/07/13/1975-circuit-board-was-a-masterpiece-hidden-on-your-wrist/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 Not bad for an old abandoned classic computer! We currently have 95 followers for new postings in the main TI area. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 I saw something sadly telling of a (nameless) individual today. Taken in the context of where it appeared, it seemed rather snarky, demeaning, and displayed much ego. Maybe the individual who posted it thought so too because they removed it, or maybe figured it already hit it's target and was no longer necessary, but did not want others to see and judge? Who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xabin Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Gah! My package from Germany's been stuck in pre-customs for over a month, with no sign of moving, and the seller hasn't gotten word back from them about its status, so he's having to send me a full refund ($170+) to compensate. Ugh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
