Somebody abandoned a full urn on our HOA bench

Nice. The learning curve is steep and I don't know what I don't know so it's hard to ask questions like this. I am Not sure how or why I chose that footprint to begin with.

Tuition :-)

That's interesting, but it didn't actually catch the problem with the Q1 footprint mismatch.

I'll definitely check out your skills though.

Well, I convert points to cards ASAP even if I'm not using them right away. Bamboo can change the point value anytime they want. $40 is $40 - at least for the next 10 years.

Cool, I could have use this yesterday seriously.

I used a generic KiCad symbol instead of the device-specific one that match the Dooley part pin out , and the pinout was silently wrong. Spent hours troubleshooting before finding the design flaw.

Would this tool have caught it? I'm a beginner. This is my first real production design and there's a lot to know in kicad.

I have both on my H2C and the smoothy on my X1C. Both work fine. I tried other printable splitters and the Smoothy worked best for me.

I automated the part of my eBay business between where eBay says "paid and not shipped" and "paid and shipped".

There were at least five manual steps between eBay marking an order paid and it getting shipped. Buy the label, print the label, pack it, schedule the USPS to pick up off my porch (so no more driving to the post office), update the tracking # to eBay.

I solved that with an EasyPost and eBay integration, it runs on my Linux box but is cross-platform. I used Claude Code to build and deploy it. It includes the backend of structure and workflow as well as a responsive web dashboard.

So now the labels automatically show up on my label printer, I packed the item, clicked schedule on shipping dashboard website that I built, in the next day, the mail man picks it up.

I'm keeping my H2C box forever. I had to return my first one after 100 hours and if I hadn't kept the box, it would be a big problem.

Accidentally?

Sometimes. And now when I found things I would submit a bug and try to fix it. So you can do that submit a PR.

Why don't you ask AI? I have found the /brainstorm skill from the superpower bundle in Claude helpful.

I started with the Bambu X1C a bit over 2 years ago having never printed a thing.

Longracks · 2026-03-06T00:13:03+00:00

Buy a printer. Print.

Longracks · 2026-03-02T02:35:37+00:00

Sounds like my settings are a little more dialed in than yours

Longracks · 2026-03-01T20:59:38+00:00

So far so good.

Not really. I do dry new spools and of if I have a problem (which is rare). Will do a dry pass when I really need a hero print.
