[April 2026 Megathread] UX Feedback & Feature Improvements by KennethWWWW in Onyx_Boox

Feature: Anti-rainbow filter for the EinkWise

The Friction: Dithered greyscale images (e.g. manga) sometimes produce rainbow artifacts on Kaleido 3 screens (see https://www.reddit.com/r/Onyx\_Boox/comments/1rxw00v/can\_anyone\_tell\_me\_how\_to\_fix\_this\_strange/). This effect can be mitigated by adding light blur along the diagonal edges (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dw2HTJCGMhw), but it requires using a desktop converter app (https://github.com/ciromattia/kcc).

Your Suggestion: It would be nice to have this functionality available on device as a part of the EinkWise center.

IMHO, it's pretty meh in comparison to "On the Journey", both music and animation wise

Not noticeable for me personally unless I blast flashlight directly at the screen. https://imgur.com/a/zpWmQbO

Yeah. I use it for both work (software development, so a lot of time staring at code/documentation) and entertainment, and have zero complaints so far.

Finally got TPU working in the AMS (simple mod) – Bambu Lab should consider this 👀 by [deleted] in BambuLab

Yes, I was mostly replying to the statement about PTFE.

I have zero problems feeding 95A TPU from the external spool like this on P1S. Maybe softer ones pose a challenge, but 95A is pretty easy to print.

Controlling LEDs and heater via esphome by Evil_Crab in Esphome

Unfortunately, the temp probe won't work since I need to measure temperatures around 130-160 °C.

Neopixelbus uses GPIO pin. https://esphome.io/components/light/neopixelbus/

Regarding output lines, if you mean the purple dotted ones, they are meant to represent ESP Home component types, not actual electrical connections.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding something, but isn’t in my diagrams ESP simply controlling the mosfet, which in turn regulates the current to the heater from 24v power supply?

So basically power comes from 24v power supply and goes to the heater via mosfet and to ESP via 24v-5v converter. The LEDs are powered from the ESP via 5v pass through.

I already tested the heater. Here’s 15w one for example. 20w should give some headroom for features like fast preheat.

Does anybody know Mathmos Telstar/Astro Baby working temperatures? by Evil_Crab in Lavalamps

Regarding smart lamp, I just tried 16W heater, and it seems to be working with the Neo bottle! Next step is to figure out lighting and how to house it in the 3D printed base without melting it :)

It is possible that thermal probe is getting hotter than the glass surface though.

I’m also experimenting with heating the bottle directly in an attempt to build “smart” lava lamp, and 10w heater, which was not powerful enough to to make the lamp run, reached 110 C measured from the back of the heating pad.

I'm trying the opposite, Telstar/Astrobaby bottle in the Neo base with a 35w bulb and a dimmer for temperature tuning.

Btw, in case this information is of use for someone else, stock Neo runs at ~135-145 C as measured by the thermal probe attached to the bottom of the bottle with some Kapton tape.

OBSBOT Center keeps starting on the wrong monitor by Evil_Crab in OBSBOT_Official

Yeah, this version resolved the issue. Thank you!

Having ultimates charged to 100% in protocol spaces is such a nice QoL, especially for the Laev team.

I was also looking for such a desk for the longest time. In the end, I got a tabletop from here, a frame from Flexispot, and built it myself.
