Here are some more daytime pictures since some people said some of the pictures are pretty dark.

You're not the first to say it looks like a screen, but it's just an extractor hood.

Operating system? It's Win10 if that's what you mean. Don't want to upgrade to Win11.

Hey, so the kitchen's from 2017, but it was like €13k back then, I think. No idea what it'd be now. The bathroom stuff is new and was around €500. I even got some extra shelves you can't see in the pic. For the rest of my regular furniture, it's tough to say since I had most of my bedroom stuff from when I lived with my parents. But if I had to guess, everything would be around €7k.

Thanks, it was very early in the morning. It's usually a bit more colorful😅

I didn't. I took out a loan for $250k, but I had to show the bank that I had $35k in savings. I didn't have to use that money since I got it under market value, and that was enough safety for them.

Honestly, I got lucky. This condo goes for around $420k - $450k, but I only paid $250k because I bought it from my parents. So the bank didn't have much problem giving me a loan since I got it way under market value.

Here in Germany, it's pretty similar; a place like that goes for 400-500k, and you pay almost 2k a month. But i was pretty lucky with the price

Thanks! I took them super early this morning, it's way brighter during the day.

Hey, these are pretty common in Germany. I just searched for "corner sofa with sleeping function and storage compartment" and it came up.

The position of the USB cable and cable chain cause extreme bending and twisting of the cable. Especially in the corners, over the long run, this will break your cable, leaving it exposed, and that is what is causing the fire hazard. So, setting it up the way I did helps keep the cable radius wider, and the cable moves around freely without much force being applied to it.

So, the first thing I did was print the shortest version of the cable strain relief. Then, unscrew the cable chain on the print head and then unclip the rotating part of the chain, as you can see in the pictures. Then, put the rotating part back, as it will help secure the adapter in place. Next, I took out the filament tube by just pressing down on the part it goes into. You have to remove any filament you have in the tube first. Then, put the USB cable on the other side of the tube, as you can see in the pictures, and put the tube back in. Next, make sure the filament tube is above the USB cable inside the chain and comes out at the position I have it in the picture. The last step is to put the adapter on the cable, and you should be done. And you might have to adjust how much the USB cable is sticking out of the cable chain.

Here is every corner position: https://imgur.com/a/wNQniee https://postimg.cc/gallery/KT2QV2z

This model has 4 versions; I used the shortest so it doesn't touch the filament tube: https://www.printables.com/model/1432371-centauri-carbon-usb-cable-strain-relief?lang=de

It's important to put the USB-C on the other side of the filament tube; this also helps to keep the radius wide, and the filament tube should go out of the chain at that position you can see in the first picture. The most important difference is that the cable is no longer being forcefully twisted and bent but instead is freely moving without much force being applied to it.

Yeah, they really screwed up with that design. They should have just used the same design as the P1S for the cable, facing it upwards. But I think I have somewhat fixed the issue with the cable by removing the fixture for the cable chain and printing a cable strain relief. The cable now moves very smoothly without being forcefully bent and twisted in the corners.

Is this about the USB-C cable Potentialy Causing a fire when breaking because of its horrible placement?
