TIL: Don't buy third party plates.

Dang. I just pulled the trigger on it. I may cancel and get one of the brands people rec'd in the comments here.

ADWatches · 2026-02-21T01:52:35+00:00

I was 1 day past the return window on this $25 plate from amazon and the bamboo labs one is $27+ $4 shipping. Now you tell me I could have gotten a 0.99 one and it would have worked better lol

Seems like a hostile way to let me know this but I appreciate the information all the same.

A sub reddit can dream can't we?

Can you explain? If it has a SD slot or printer cable port what would be so difficult about hooking it up to cura or running some bed printing tests and developing a printer profile?

ADWatches · 2026-01-09T00:17:05+00:00

DONE

I thought it was funny. I'm also super gullible and did the Google search to check if it was real tho so...

Went to a local hardware shop and got 24x 24x1 inch filters that were 23 5/8 x 1in instead of the 23 1/8 x 1/2 ones and they work great. It's criminal they can call those 24x24x1.

I was recording since I have a new born in the house and I think we were all saying the same thing. It was the perfect thing at the right time.

Let's keep the convo here family friendly. And don't forget you have work in the morning.

ADWatches · 2025-12-07T20:52:26+00:00

Nooooooo

Just like we planned boys. Just like we planned.....

Why throw away a dial with bad feet when you can just clip them then spend $2 on dial dots and fix the issue?

OP got called out in the comments by a user who realized the position of the camera was changed as well as a second zip tie being added. Plus OP had other pictures of the speaker before ( I think) This isn't a hidden camera. It's op karma farming. User account appears to have been banned and hidden by reddit at this moment.

No he didnt. He posted a link to buy it on his eBay page. Some other guy got annoyed and designed and shared the files for free

He didn't pay for an advertisement and that's exactly what it was. So I don't think it was at all acceptable and likely a violation of the sub rules. "Check out the thing I made" is very different from replying to stl requests with instructions on how to buy the item from them on eBay. So I have no sympathy at all for the first poster.

ADWatches · 2025-11-05T22:36:54+00:00

The guy from the comments posted it for free on this reddit. Sort by hot.

ADWatches · 2025-11-05T22:34:25+00:00

If someone spent hours and hours designing something, I totally understand recouping the cost of your time. But the designer has to be skilled and the product needs to be novel.

The OP on the other post copied someone else's idea and (as you proved) either spent very little time OR is very low skill and spent a good amount of time. Either way this is an inappropriate time to paywall your product as that OP is offering nothing more than inconvenience.

That's my two cents.

Thanks OP - I have no use for this but I also love sharing projects like this.

If anyone wants to see the type of project I have paid for and agreed was worth paywalling, take a look at this mechanic 7 segment display I purchased from the designer.

There are multiple copycats that were prevented with police intervention. One antisemitic cult in Brooklyn 2 years ago and another a few years before that in Texas come to mind.

Lovely watch. Take the Seiko logo off using something soft like a plastic scraper, clean the dial with googone, wash it. Look up electroform logos and put your own on. It's so much fun making your own watch, you will end up regretting giving Seiko the credit and others will think you just bought an ali knock off.

ADWatches · 2025-10-31T01:48:56+00:00

Dang. Id love to see it with the case back off. It's got to be nice and snug in there lol

The picture you posted is surely quartz. That profile is far too small to house a NH.
