    Supporting your position through things created in your brain is called “explaining yourself”, or more specifically “explaining the rationale behind your position”.

    Did you think you were being clever?


  • To answer your question (and not just recommend another piece of software instead):

    Making a cylinder and deleting the cap faces makes what’s known as a non-manifold mesh. To my knowledge this means you can see the backfaces without travelling through any existing faces (in your case, you can see them by looking through the holes you made when you deleted the cap faces).
    That cylinder has walls that are theoretically infinitely thin, so you should thicken them up before attempting to print it. You can do this with a Solidify modifier. You can also extrude and scale them if you like, it achieves the same effect.

    Given a manifold mesh, your slicer will treat the inside (as in, the direction the backfaces are pointing) as solid, and you can change the density and infill pattern to whatever you like.

    Make a few of these shapes, both manifold and non-manifold, and see how your slicer reacts when you tell it to slice them.














  • Speaking of the Minecraft hotbar:

    1. Pickaxe
    2. Shovel
    3. Block
    4. Hoe
    5. Axe
    6. Block
    7. Bow
    8. Torch
    9. Sword

    (if anything isn’t present, it’s usually replaced with a block or other item)

    Does it make sense? Not really. Does it make building with more than a few blocks a pain? Yes. Will I still do it? Absolutely.
    Modded items can help. Like the paxel, which combines the pickaxe/axe/shovel into one tool. That frees up some space for extra modded tools like wrenches and the like.




  • For me, Scoop feels faster and I also don’t have to remember/find the package name of what I want to install.

    If I want to install Everything, I just type scoop install everything. I wanted Everything, it installs Everything. Easy. If I try winget install everything, no. I have to remember the author as well and type winget install voidtools.Everything. It’s just a bit annoying.

    Plus, I know where all my software is with Scoop. Windows installers love flinging files all over your system, but with Scoop they’re all in the apps folder. It’s not always the case, but I trust Scoop apps to stay where they are more than Windows installers.


  • I would say upvotes are thanks enough. But if you have something extra to say, then I’d say thanks in a comment and then give your extra information there.

    For example, just “Thanks! That was useful/entertaining/enlightening/etc.” as a comment is pretty pointless, as an upvote conveys that exact message. Nothing more and nothing less.
    If you have something more to say, then a comment would be appropriate. Perhaps something like: “Thanks! I did your X method with a bit of extra Y and now my car runs so much quieter!”.
    This is especially true if your extra information would be useful to others who may also be reading the thread.
