  • Does this let me limit what each family member can see to only what is theirs or I can trust them with? Currently I don’t have anyone else set up at all because I couldn’t prevent them from turning off the power strip for my 3d printers, or opening the garage without realizing it and getting my previous bike stolen.

    My current setup is massively out of date too since the update failed one day and I haven’t been able to complete the requirements for it to work, and I’m planning to move it to a different computer anyway, but I’ve been putting it off while also hoping for this functionality to show up.


  • I haven’t done it yet, but custom case for repurposed hardware. Mine is a mini PC I acquired free after the m2 drive died. I got an m2 to 6 sata adapter board and it already had an unused SATA port so I’m planning on doing SATA SSD boot with 6x nas drives and print an alternate case for it. Actually powering the drives is the part I’m least sure about.





  • Hah I was literally just thinking of this. My thought was an extruder based on the papilio extruder but obviously larger diameter, and some sort of stick loader with optical sensor to ensure there are always a couple stacked leading into the extruder. Some sort of gap detector code could potentially retract and deretract to drop the upper stick into contact with the currently melting one.





  • Dunno what is different on ender 3’s after v2, but on my bed slingers I used a klicky probe to get the measurement for each screw position, and just hard mount something like ~10mm or whatever it took to clear the motor mount stainless cylinder spacer and nylock nut to mount the bed. Then 0.1mm stainless shims added to the spacer stack as needed until the probe numbers are as close to the same as possible. IIRC each screw is torqued to 8nm or so using a small torque wrench. I think I did 6 or for things threaded into the aluminum but the bed should be fine higher if they are all the same. This should make the bed mesh stay mostly the same for longer so I run a really ridiculous subdivision on the mesh since it doesn’t seem to need updating.
