didn't see a thread for this one yet, thought i'd make one.

anyone here used a 3D printer or 3D printing service before?

I did recently when my headphone's broke... they were $50 Logitech headphones but they cheeped out on the ear cover clips... luckily it was a very common problem with this particular model so I was actually able to order a pair of 3D printed replacements, so far so good they actually have superior structural integrity to when I bought them! 

I've seen some of the crazy stuff people can do with a 3D printer but I've never had the need to actually go buy one for myself... still for a first experience with them It wen't really well.

I've made a brush in GIMP, but I can't get it to change the color of the brush, it just stays in the color it was made in (black).

Anyone know if I missed a step or there's a trick to getting the brush to respond to colors changes?

Hey man, very small bug but it affects me, greatly i promise!

When either clicking the smiley or typing:

so this one took me like 10 min to make and was one of the first actual hardware mods I ever did.

what you will need.

• Wire Strippers.
  
• Xbox controller dongle (that bit that plugs into the console with the round piece that connects to your controller)
  
• soldering iron (better to use than just twisting wires together... trust me)
  
• Electrical tape/Heat shrink cable sheath/tubing
  
• any old USB cable
  
• 10 minutes of your time.
  

1. take your xbox controller dongle and cut off the end that plugs into the Xbox then use your wire stripper to expose the wires.
   
2. cut the end off your USB cable that doesn't plug into the computer, do the same as above.
   
3. Connect/solder the black, red, green, and white cables to their counterparts on your USB cable and ignore the yellow one (the original Xbox controller is literally USB 1.1 with a custom connector) make sure to slide the heat shrink tubing over your wires first!
   
4. slide the heat shrink tubing over the now soldered connections and use a lighter or heat gun to shrink them tight, do the same with the main cable.
   
5. if windows doesn't automatically detect the xbox controller (possibly as an xbox 360 one) install the XBox Controller Driver (XBCD) from Redcl0ud mod team
   

I'm going to keep this brief because while straight forward it's still fairly tedius.

you're going to need the following.

• A joystick/gamepad/controller port of the type the console uses (either from a for parts console or from your own)
  
• a wiring diagram/pin layout for the controller... or a multimeter and time to work it out for yourself.
  
• a parallel port with Enhanced Capability mode (either via an add on PCI/PCI-E card or on your motherboard if it's an old system)
  
• a parallel port cable or connector of the right type to connect to your computer.
  
• lots of spare wire.
  
• a soldering iron
  
• hot glue (optional)
  
• electrical tape and or heat shrink wire sheath.
  
• an electronics screwdriver kit (for removing connectors, opening cable covers, etc.)
  
• 7 1N4148 diodes (for genesis controller adapter, your parts type may vary depending on console and controller)

Love the plugin, absolute necessity for forums these days.

Would it be possible for you to swap the links around? Currently, when you click the Big bold link(title) it takes you to the first post of that thread, and if you click the tiny "last post" link(next to username) it will take you to the latest post on that thread.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have the main link, link you to the most recent content that the widget is actually notifying you about? You could then replace the small last post link with a "See Full Thread" link.

Each time I visit makestation I use that widget, and the new posts are in Bold and have a green arrow next to them - almost forcing me to click that link instead of the "last post" link, leaving me to then have to navigate to the last page of that thread. Shouldn't a link that is indicating new content, link me to new content?
Just a usability suggestion.

The last few Assassin's Creed games have lost my interest, but this one definitely gets the Assassin urges in me flaring back up again.
