  • Yes, given the comment about averaging with the neighbours green will be overrepresented in the average. An additional (smaller) factor is that the colour filters aren’t perfect, and green in particular often has some signficant sensitivity to wavelengths that the red and blue colour filters are meant to pick up.

    edit: One other factor I forgot, green photosites are often more sensitive than the red and blue photosites.



  • I’ve never really found anything unique enough that I’ve felt the need to purchase it over a free option that is available. Frankly, these days I tend to get frustrated by all the obviously bad models out there and just use my CAD skill to properly design exactly what I want.

    Also I’d never purchase just a STL file, I’m opposed to the format because it is so difficult to modify. I might consider buying a STEP file if it does something unique and useful to me while saving a bunch of modeling work.





  • The STL export will take your nice parametric model and turn it into triangles. The software defaults of most CAD systems are terrible for this. (I’ll die on the hill that STL needs to be phased out and STEP needs to become the default for precisely this reason). If you add a vector in the slicer then it has the context to be able to choose the right quality when slicing.







  • A cell’s voltage will change with how much energy it stores, but if you keep applying current to force more charge to move you can cause voltages to be quite far outside of the proper range. However you don’t want to do this as at minimum you are damaging the materials in the cell, or worse, cause a significant safety hazard where the cell could catch on fire.

    You can look at the Discharge Curve of a cell which compares voltage vs capacity, as a rule of thumb, essentially the steeper the curve changes, the more damage you are doing to the cell by operating in the range.
