Very interesting, thank you. I should give this a try when I get back to a dev machine. Sounds like it still downloads and uses the SDK which might be significant for licensing or other reasons, but I’m probably fine with that for personal use.

This is a thing I look for now and then, but it always seems to fall back to “install android studio” and I nope at that point. Maybe one of these days. Having the ability to make some simple app would be interesting.

It runs on one particularly horrible platform only. Jre.

I have actually done that once. Somehow managed to make install glibc over libc5 or something like that.

That was a while ago, though.

Not to mention every auxiliary anything. Another completely idiotic and unsearchable “name”.

A router is often just a switch with extra steps.

As an embedded systems programmer, I’m really delighted that rust might finally be an option for some projects. Soon. Ish. Maybe.

Maybe that counts technically, but it’s just not the same if the project doesn’t have a solid user base when it gets killed.

The soft bed on my old ender 5 had a noticeable wave to it. Levelling it was kind of a compromise. A few areas would end up with more squish than others.

Actually no bed can ever be absolutely ideally flat and level. As long as you get close enough, it’ll be fine. Print smaller parts on the best area if you can.

But, like others have said, matrix leveling helps a lot. Which pretty much means getting a levelling sensor.

Oh, I’m definitely stashing that. Thank you.

I’ve been thinking of doing just this as well. Though with ender parts or something else left over. Very cool to see someone’s actually made it happen.

I’m case a reader wants some extra fuel:

That is a pretty hard thing to do, to be fair. And the list of things that are easy sometimes makes big jumps forward and the effect of details on the final effort can be massive.

As long as it’s posts with content and not just link spam every week.

Technical info: Type annotations don’t do anything, but they help some people to feel more comfortable.

Balls. Of steel.

That’s one top reason some are doing this. Experiment and try to find or develop a profitable business segment. There’s very rarely a ready market for any new process.

99% of the time, it’s a clogged nozzle. Do a routine clean and check if you can extrude while in the air. Check e steps.

Noon or a little after. Works for me, though it does punch a hole in the day
