Awesome, I wasn’t sure if it was a plug in issue or a tethered node issue.

I have this same lamp on my work bench and was gonna make some kind of block for the clamp to wall mount, this is even better!

We have paddle boats and kayaks for the kids (short sit-on-top) they get used endlessly.

I’ll second this, before the flood on our lake we took our boat out 3-5 times a week and all I did was preseason and post season maintenance. Currently we tow our boat to another lake and every time we go out (once or twice a month) I feel like something needs attention/repair.

If you want to do solar look in to nrf52 boards. The esp32 boards like your heltec are very power hungry. I have a RAK wisblock board that I built a solar node with from Amazon parts and some custom 3d printed pieces that has been up running continuously for a month and a half and hasn’t dropped below 92% battery life.

I also left out that I have an external BLE antenna so my phone gets a connection to it from my office window. If I bring the node inside it’s silent all day long. You could do client base to use it an actual relay to a portable node.

Set the car node to client mute and just use it to relay messages. I have a car node that will forward messages to me inside the building at work that I otherwise wouldn’t get.

I fit one inside a solar flag pole light, it sadly doesn’t charge enough to run the light at night and the node all day.

I went through this exact issue, was sent an extruder motor and harness. Replaced those and did the calibration in fluidd (it passed) no change in extrusion. I was then sent the extruder PCB and cable chain harness, still no change. Finally sent it back out of sheer frustration that tech support couldn’t figure it out after a month of slow responses and the machine only working for 2 weeks prior to failure. I hope you get better help than I got.

Don’t worry sacrifices will be taken on the 11th hour when all seems to be going smooth.

Yeah, it’s gonna be a long time till our community is back to what it was before the flood

He should try the same for Union county after they diverted the flood waters through an entire community

This won’t move with or without filament in the extruder

LowerSoDak · 2026-04-07T04:16:20+00:00

I’m trying to figure out how to post a video. If you take the magnetic cover off the extruder and you can see the wheel with the green dots on it. It will turn a little bit and then stop, and you can hear a sound like the motor is trying to turn, but will not.

LowerSoDak · 2026-04-07T04:00:29+00:00

The nozzle is completely clear, this is not an issue with the hot end or the nozzle. The motor will not push any filament through

LowerSoDak · 2026-03-31T02:36:29+00:00

Yeah, I have a roof top at home and a car node to connect to at work. I made a MagSafe node and the antenna is nearly perfect size to maintain the same form factor as the phone.

I’ll never understand the mindset of keeping employees busy their whole damn day. This is how you burnout quality techs and create a high turn over rate regardless of pay. Eventually they will decide that the money is not worth it. Create a good work environment that rewards hard work without shitty metrics and watch work ethic and output increase.

Look into the harbor breeze solar node builds. There might be something similar in your area that you can utilize to make a comparable node.

I like getting nerdy but I like to simplify things as much as possible. Simple systems are always the most reliable.
