Ooohhhhh thanks for explaining, that makes perfect sense. I’ve always wondered why my filament is brittle in the extruder but not on the roll.

No, filament dries much faster than hot glue, it’s solid within a second after coming out of the nozzle.

Use tile adhesive, it’s the proper tool for the task.

It’s only fraud if you’re doing it to defraud somebody (like taking their money). OP is not.

Lollll dude what do you think OP is doing here exactly? “Hacking” the meter? He’s just trying to get an accurate reading remotely, don’t be so dramatic.

You can get some surprising detail out of an Ender 3, especially if you pop on a smaller nozzle.

Lots of routers on AliExpress that you can get for between $200-300 USD. If you want to run PFSense, then you need an option with an Intel NIC. Search for i226-v, that should narrow it down. Most routers that don’t specify their NIC use a cheaper one from Realtek or some other brand. Those also work fine, but they’re a little sketchy with PFSense so you should plan on installing OPNsense or OpenWRT if you get one of those instead. Topton is a popular brand with a decent reputation, look for those. They’re also on Amazon with a markup.

Another option would be a pre-built router from Firewalla, Protectli, or PFSense. Those cost more but they don’t require you to flash your own firmware, and they come with a warranty and customer service, etc.
