![]() There’s also a large disparity amongst customers that seem to either adore their unit or abhor it immensely. other items on offer are ‘Glue Packs’ which are simply regular clear glue bottles at the laughable price of 20 dollars for two small bottles. The first of which is a replacement build platform costing 150 dollars for a platform with no features and seems to be a regular acrylic panel. Costliness seems to be a trend with these printers supposed ‘accessories’ being horribly over priced and underwhelming at best. The few benefits they show over standard spools is the ability to display how much filament has been used, which could be argued that you can see the filament on standard reels and gauge the same information, though more importantly, they can tell the hot end of the printer what temperature they need to be for printing. This brings us to the most disappointing thing about this printer the proprietary filament cartridges which run you 99 USD each. Though it would be nice to see some optional features like a heated platform and an SD card reader at least it’s good that they didn’t skimp at all when it comes to print quality which should always take priority over flair and frills. ![]() Of all the things actually included in the documentation, the build size is especially promising as it’s fairly sizable compared to some printers currently available and it still maintains high detail. Notably left out were listings of, print speed and nozzle diameter which are rather important and a glaring error on their part. The spec sheet offered on the website leaves much to desired and is a bad sign for the customer service side of the company. The printer we’ll be focusing on is the Cube Pro Duo, which as the name states has the neat ability to extrude from multiple extruders using different materials limited only to the varieties offered in the Cubify store ABS, PLA and Nylon. ![]() Though have they grown complacent and stagnant over the years? The only way to tell is to scrutinize them as they should have had ample time to iron out the problems and hiccups we often expect from a startup or growing business. With this they bring a ton of experience to the table not only as a juggernaut of the industry when compared to the spunky young startups of recent years but also as a developer of 3D printers with decades to hone the art of 3D printing to a consistent and reliable process. The company was founded back in 1986 and is often credited with inventing 3D printing. For better or worse, they want to be your one stop shop for everything your printer requires or that you’d ever need to operate it. Their goals have been as a business solution, encompassing their product in every aspect from their own filament and software down to their own glue for applying to the print bed to help adherence. With the slim pickings that most indie companies have up for an offer that is open source hardware or software, there are few companies that offer everything you need. Though one group, 3D Systems, is drawing focus on the office space and how 3d printing is becoming more and more required for a twenty-first century business to function. More and more companies recently are focusing their efforts on making 3D printing available to everyone through seemingly stripped down printers that are difficult to get working consistently and even when you manage to do so they’re ‘ok’ in quality pretty much all the time.

People nowadays have forgotten that horror doesn't just mean blood and guts. This is possibly the best aspect because I am sick to death of cookie cutter horror movies. It's rare that you get a movie written and directed by the same person on their first attempt and they manage to hit it out of the park. And secondly this was the work of a first time director. But you can't quite figure out what it is. And it was delivered with such skill and care that It truly unfolded masterfully. There was just enough there to build atmosphere and tension without giving away the surprise. The first is it kept me wondering what exactly was going on. Get Out surprised me for a number of reasons. What I didn't know was that hiding underneath all that was a genuine fan of classic horror just waiting to get out. I knew he had a show with Keegan-Michael Key and was a comedian of sorts. It can also be used by dentists to help patients control their fears before procedures or to treat teeth grinding and other oral conditions.I'll say right off the bat, I didn't really know who Jordan Peele was coming into this movie. Research has found that surgical patients and burn victims can achieve reduced recovery time, anxiety, and pain through hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapy can aid in pain management and help to resolve medical concerns such as digestive disorders, skin conditions, symptoms of autoimmune disorders, and the gastrointestinal side effects of pregnancy or chemotherapy. It can be used to help improve sleep or to address learning disorders, communication issues, and relationship challenges. But hypnotherapy can have many applications as a part of treatment for anxiety, stress, panic attacks, post- traumatic stress disorder, phobias, substance abuse including tobacco, sexual dysfunction, undesirable compulsive behaviors, mood disorders, and bad habits. Hypnotherapy is an adjunct form of therapy, meaning it is typically used alongside other forms of psychological or medical treatment, such as traditional modes of talk therapy. The American Psychological Association and American Medical Association have recognized hypnotherapy as a valid procedure since 1958, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has recommended it as a treatment for chronic pain since 1995. ![]() Eventually, a client learns how to address their states of awareness on their own and in doing so, gain greater control of their physical and psychological responses. In it, a person is unusually responsive to an idea or image, but they are not under anyone’s “control.” Instead, a trained clinical hypnotherapist can help clients in this state relax and turn their attention inward to discover and utilize resources within themselves that can help them achieve desired behavioral changes or better manage pain or other physical concerns. This state is similar to being completely absorbed in a book, movie, music, or even one's own thoughts or meditations. ![]() Hypnotherapy (sometimes called hypnotic suggestion) is a therapeutic practice that uses guided hypnosis to help a client reach a trance-like state of focus, concentration, diminished peripheral awareness, and heightened suggestibility.

Name the action “3D Effect” and click “Record.” The Record button will activate. Click the Add Action button at the bottom of the window. There may be some default actions listed. Open the actions window by going to the Window drop-down menu. To make the process easier, create an “ action.” Do not worry if you have not worked with actions before. You need to repeat Steps 5 and 6 many times. Step 7: Make an Action to Repeat Steps 5 and 6 Changing text width and height-and white space you don’t want to see. The text should look just a little thicker. You have gone too far if you start to see white space between the letters (see example circled in red). Select Edit > Free Transform (Ctrl+T or Command+T). Change both the width (W) and the height (H) in the Options bar to 99.9%. Click the checkmark to accept the change.Ĭhoose the Move tool and drag or use the arrow keys to move the text slightly to the right. You can do this with the Free Transform tool. We will resize the 3D text and move it slightly off-center to add realistic depth. Rename the duplicate “3D Effect.” In the layers panel, drag the 3D Effect layer to the bottom. Select Layer > Duplicate Layer (Ctrl+J or Command+J). Step 5: Duplicate the Top Layerĭuplicate the top layer by going to the Layer drop-down menu. If you want to change the text or the font, make sure to do it before making it a smart object. ![]() An icon appears in the bottom right corner showing that this is now a smart object.Īlso, this is no longer a text layer. Select Layer > Smart Objects > Convert to Smart Object. When you are happy with your font, convert the layer to a “ smart object.” Making this a smart object lets you revisit the changes you make. Step 4: Convert the Layer to a Smart Object I selected Snell Roundhand bold and a dark purple color for this tutorial. Select a color and size your text to fit the canvas. In the Options bar, select the bold option if the font has this. Select the Type tool and add text to the “Top Layer.” You can type anything you want. Select “Layer 1” and rename it “Top Layer.” Renaming layer. It is important to keep track of which layer is the top layer. Changing document size and making a transparent background. But for now, make the “Background Contents” transparent.Ĭlick Create. Enter 1350 pixels for the width and 1080 pixels for the height. Let’s create a document that is a good size for social media. In the New Document dialog box, enter a size for the new document. Start by opening Photoshop and creating a new document. Buy from Unavailable Step 1: Make 3D Text in Photoshop by Creating a New Document If you're lost, think of a car's alternator and how the rotor halves appear to be interlocking fingers, which don't touch, but have their apexes running down the circumference, first one side, then the other, and so on. Now, actually "before" you load the magnets, "INDEX" each lid, such that looking from one side through both sides of the disks, there is a point on one disk neighbored by a point on either side from the other disk. Each lid has to be exactly cut the same as the other, such that there are an even number (I like 12) of pointed sections on each lid. See where this is going? Next, I cut the perimeter of each coffee can lid into little "picket-fence" points. Next, I fashion iron backing plates out of the ends of a coffee can, drilling each's center with a drill the same size as the bicycle hub bolt. I shove a magnet into each hole in each disk, such that one whole side of each disk is "N" (north) and the other whole side is "S" (south). These holes will house neodymium magnets and should be a snug fit. Then, I use a special bit called a "Forstner" bit, which drills a very precise hole and drill anywhere from 6 to 12 holes about the circle, having laid out there positions RATHER EXACTLY before hand. Just make a mandrel out of a bolt the same size for this. I take two sheets of HDPE (high density poly ethylene) plastic and turn two circles, with a hole in their center the same size as the axle on the bicycle front hub. Easy-peasy!īy the way, I have a lathe, which makes this WAY easier. At any rate, whenever ANY wind blows, no matter what direction, this thing spins. "I" personally use two sheets and two angle-aluminum bars, making 4 blades, one each 90 degrees, but that's 'me'. It doesn't need static balancing and all it does is spin. It is fastened to a bar of angle-aluminum, which is bolted to the bicycle hub axle and extends up inside the barrel. The "blade" is nothing more than a sheet of light plastic. I've been accused of thinking outside of the box, but frankly, I never knew there was a box. Instead of using a straight flow of wind to spin a blade (which must now be 'balanced', etc.) I choose to spin the wind into a vortex and immerse a flat blade in the flow. I'll take a shot at a description of the rotor here and if you want to take it to the next step, PM me and we'll go from there. I have designed a permanent-magnet-loaded 3-phase alternator, which is conceptually easy, but pretty intricate to build - not hard by any means, just a bit complicated. One side of the little hub is attached to my home-made alternator** and the other is attached to the blade*. This gives me a threaded shaft on both sides of a VERY ROBUST bearing, for a cost of nothing (if you are a good scrounger) to only a few $. Into the "V" I put the front hub of a bicycle, held there by a worm-strap, which threads through a slot ground in each side parallel to the direction the axle lays and tightened, holding it in place. Horizontal to the side of the barrel and across the open end (facing down) I weld a post with a "V" cut in its end. When bent out as such, this creates flaps, which catch in the wind and direct it inside to form a whirly vortex. I cut long "C"s down the sides with a high-speed grinder (you could also use a plasma cutter), such that they can be bent slightly outward. My design can be as large as you have room really! At any rate, what I usually use is a steel barrel with the open end down. Then, you have to get the electricity down off the tower without wires wrapping up all over the place - big headache I have designed a system, which circumvents ALL that and more.I designed, built and use a "horse-of-a-different-color" vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT). The problem facing most, who try to DIY a 'windmill' centers around a whirling mass, which must be aimed, controlled, BALANCED, ect. I will outline what I currently use, after having tried EVERY possible design over these many years. I'm new to this 4m, I have built 'windmills' for nearly 50 years ya, I'm old. ![]() Graphics and color choices are also poor and inferior tot he previous version. I have to go to a 2nd screen to see sector times (really annoying during qualy) and still can only see the top six, missing drivers who have just gone out on track and are setting competitive early sectors. With the previous app, I could see the entire field on my tablet. The new app shows lap time, gap to lead and interval between drivers on one screen but only six max drivers at a time. The previous version needed a little work, but generally gave you Key information on one screen during the race and qualifying: lap times, sector times, and during the race, gap to the lead, interval between drivers and the ability to turn on driver radio transmissions. As per our content schedule (found here > ), not every country is eligible for F1 TV, and then some cannot access F1 TV Pro, either. Is it possible for F1 to change their perception of a long time F1 fan to something less suspect? Whether I remain a committed fan of F1 is in doubt since F1 apparently views me with suspicion of abusing my subscription. Unfortunately F1 changed their policy for what I believe are unfounded reasons and I can no longer subscribe to F1 while residing and working in developing or war torn countries. I have done this for many years and have never misused your service in any way, shape or manner. My solution in those cases was to use F1 streaming to enjoy the race despite the 30 seconds difference between the tv and the audio streaming. In some cases they were shown but the announcers were speaking in Arabic, which I could not understand. I have long been subscribing to F1 and it was important to me as I traveled and worked abroad in many countries, to include locations and conflict countries where the races were not acceptable on tv. I am deeply disappointed with F1’s change in policy regarding subscriptions. Renewal fee is equivalent to the full fee for the subscription you purchased.
