Gravis gamepad :-)

Rock solid!

Gravis Ultrasound with red pcb reporting…

That is not how it is supposed to look, the end result should be at least a couple of inches wide.

Maybe you don’t need to ‘fix’ your retraction settings?

If it looks good enough, why bother?

Wasn’t aware of the test (SuperSlicer user here), and found this.

The tower has multiple notches, each one corresponding to a different retraction length. By looking at the tower after printing, you can see how each retraction length affects the print quality.

So check your surface finish and select the retraction value with the best looks.

Blowtorch will heat this up way too hot.

Try to get it to a high enough temperature to insert filament to do a cold pull and repeat…

Electrical heat gun (paint stripper) is hot enough. Gas based torches will change the stiffness of your material and you will regret it.

Bluetooth or wifi, depending on the number of accesspoints…

Anyway, a really smart hack!

Sony SRS-RA8000 owner here. Can confirm it works with the plugin mentioned above.

Using Harman Kardon hardware yields in a way less happy experience.

NetApp makes storage devices, just like Dell’s DataDomain.

Looks like the ad is referring to a ST6000NM0034, a drive from Seagate. Personally, I like to stay away from that brand as far as possible.

Have had good experiences with WD.

Vlans firewall rules and something to route between the different networks.

This can all be achieved with pretty much every Linux installation.

Ok, this is really over the topz but I like it. Wouldn’t be too hard, to open the gate when the mower engages.

Clever and nice touch of adding the drain.

First check the dontvacuum.me site for compatibility.

Flash with modified firmware, run valetudo and disconnect from the Chinese cloud.

Valetudo integrates with HA.

The Husqvarna/Gardena etc. are pretty much all one design with different colors.

Checkout https://www.robonect-shop.de/ this is an add on for those devices and unlocks nice features.

Mqtt, pushover, weather etc.etc.

Definitely recommended.

Edit: the HA integration: https://github.com/geertmeersman/robonect

Easydns.ca, no privacy issues. Nothing about me personally in the who’s db (.net tld)

Depending on the size, but I’ve had success with super glue and baking soda.

Exactly this. Foolish ideas from someone behind a desk.

Nerds and hackers will win this easily.

You got me there… :-)

Openscad, just because…

Probably convenient to have access to an 3D printer

Ender 3v2 as starter here, doubled the price with a lot of upgrades/modifications. Got it running rock solid with Klipper and a microswiss direct drive.

Grabbed the piggy bank and am now really satisfied with my voron 2.4.

But very pleased with the fact I started with the Ender and got to learn then basics.

As far as I can suggest anything; start with something with a large installed base, so it will be easy to find answers or (hardware) solutions to your problems. I can tell you, the installed base for Ender is large, but the quality of the hardware, is what you pay. And they are cheap…

Thanks for the tip! Installed a Flukso meter several years ago, but it looks like the project is eol.

Always great to have an alternative option.
