t4nk_fn linked to "Radius Gauge by grantstevens" on thingiverse => 1 IRC mentions
<t4nk_fn>
I guess those are better suited for bigger objects
<mmu_man>
nice one
<t4nk_fn>
mmm, I'm seeing more of them, 2811444 for instance also seems nice, to put on a caliper, also seems nice
<InPhase>
t4nk_fn: Low granularity there on those measurements, to the point where the numbers are almost meaningless, but an interesting structure for such a tool.
<t4nk_fn>
there are some gauges on amazon for quite cheap and ali for even cheaper.. would maybe save the hassle of printing and they're made of metal too mmmm
<InPhase>
It looks like that gauge only works for 5cm to 20cm, which is a size range that is typically pretty easy to measure accurately in other ranges.
<InPhase>
And from 10cm to 20cm you could only get it to within about 1cm, whereas getting it to within a few mm wouldn't even be challenging with a ruler method.
<InPhase>
The one mmu_man linked earlier therefore has more utility I think, since that range of measuring an arc on the scale of 1-15mm is the range that is tricky to do accurately.
<t4nk_fn>
and they also have inside and outside shapes
<InPhase>
99 cents with free shipping for an object made of metal?? How could that be profitable.
<t4nk_fn>
lol, I hadn't seen one for 99cts, hehe, but they are prettypretty cheap ;) ... most sites will try to 'mess you up' with hidden schemes though, but you can find some good ones
<InPhase>
It sure sends my scam alert instincts flaring. But I don't shop at aliexpress due to a lack of trust in the site, so I don't know what the scams look like there.
<t4nk_fn>
honestly, I've never been scammed
<t4nk_fn>
well, what I call a scam is for example.. showing a picture of a microscope with a 15$ pricetag, and when you click it.. the 15$ were for a little cable, and the actual thing costs 335$
<InPhase>
An aliexpress guide says that most things that look too cheap on aliexpress are scams. So I guess back to ignoring the site. :) I know of no service that will ship a metal product like that to my doorstep for under a dollar.
<t4nk_fn>
shall I tell you a secret? almost all of the things on amazon.. are exactly the same as ali, only 14x as expensive
<t4nk_fn>
euh, it's a bit off topic though, but.. I just had a look
<t4nk_fn>
but shipping on that item is... 3.17euros, lol
<t4nk_fn>
that's what I meant
<t4nk_fn>
also, if you buy something without track&trace, you're asking for trouble. if you pay a little more for shipping it'll be just fine.
<t4nk_fn>
so most of the time I buy a whole bunch of things at once and have it sent in one package
<t4nk_fn>
(one more thing about the 92cts though.. shipping is 3.17eur, but that's without tracking, that's gonna take literally months if it arrives at all; if you want this one guaranteed, the costs are 6.90euros for shipping alone. those prices are up to the store.. that one is a 'scam'. with a little practice you learn to avoid them, it's not hard )
<InPhase>
I guess we're getting different search results. That was at the top of the link you sent.
<InPhase>
So I thought it was what you were referring to. 99 cents with free shipping and free returns, and a $1 coupon for late arrival...
<t4nk_fn>
Sorry, this item's currently unavailable in your location.
<t4nk_fn>
Sorry, the page you requested can not be found:(
<InPhase>
Maybe it doesn't say the same thing where you are.
<InPhase>
It's marked as a "Welcome deal", but I don't know what that is.
<t4nk_fn>
heh, I think that one might even be 'legit' for you. I think it's a welcome to aliexpress deal for being a new customer, they want to lure you in..

right, so dependency wise things are now totally broken, I have no idea how Clipper2 is supposed to work
<t4nk_fn>
HAH!
<t4nk_fn>
:b
<t4nk_fn>
no, seriously.. does it still compile?
<t4nk_fn>
OpenSCAD version 2024.03.10 (git f96ef9b83 - Sun Mar 10 01:01:51 2024 +0100)
<teepee>
no, not really
<teepee>
we really need to reduce that git submodule crazyness at some point
<teepee>
plus it does not help that debian has a libclipper-dev in version 2 which is NOT "Clipper2"
<t4nk_fn>
I think the gentoo build has been broken for a decent while now
<teepee>
and there is no actual Clipper2 package
<t4nk_fn>
so I made my own
<t4nk_fn>
and I packaged Clipper2, and some others.. what were they.. thrust, and manifold
<t4nk_fn>
I also don't understand much of this cmake rubbish, but I guess that the build picks up the installed packages now
<teepee>
only if you are on cmake >= 3.24 which seems to be even later than ubuntu 22.04, but I suppose gentoo has a pretty recent version
<t4nk_fn>
cmake version 3.27.9
<teepee>
then installed GLM is probably fine
<teepee>
on earlier cmake it's not :(
<teepee>
well, time to drive home now... maybe I'll try some more later
<t4nk_fn>
we can choose our own.. 3.27.9 is stable, then there's 3.28.3 and we can always switch to master
<t4nk_fn>
well, youknow.. I think one of the submodule advantages is the fact that you'll always get the latest versions
<t4nk_fn>
I've added the dependencies to my ebuild, so it only looks for the installed packages.. but if I update openscad, it will only update openscad
<t4nk_fn>
if one of the dependencies becomes outdated then my build would fail I guess
<t4nk_fn>
but the packages are for live builds too, so that should resolve after updating them

t4nk_fn: no, with submodules you get always the one tagged by the owning repo, I have not seen that you can dynamically track branches
<teepee>
the huge drawback is you have to understand and handle all the build wishes of all the projects dragged in that way
<teepee>
great, clipper2 packaged, now it does not find thrust, that did work before at some point :(
