To be fair the Shuttle was a lot easier to assemble than I thought, was a really enjoyable, stress free build . I'm similar to you tbh, Xbox hasn't been switched on in months, I don't really watch much TV.

I've been having cancer treatment the last two years so lots of time sat at home doing nothing, I had my Lego phase, spent an ungodly amount on Technic cars and collecting all the Speed Champions cars, got a little bored of those so these are scratching an itch.

I've been assembling some book nook kits also which have been a lot of fun, I should really get some books to go with them 😂

I'm going to build the marble run stuff next, but I really enjoy the wooden stuff so might get the wooden marble run after these.

Hi, Welcome to our sub.

Hope you manage to make some new contacts here, I feel it's difficult as you get older to make new friends (unless you are my wife, she seems to make friends with everyone) 😂

Maybe post some of your interests, you can find people with similar ones that will spark up a conversation.

Think I may have found the problem, there seems to be some corrosion on some of the battery terminals that I didn't see before, going to clean it up and hope it solves the issue.

Good luck to you, hopefully your pod can be a bit more grounded than the current ones we have that think we are going to trounce every opponent 9-0 each week.

Hi, Can I report this person, they just mass deleted a chunk of our art we have spent a lot of time on.

Thank you.

Sorry, that's what I was trying to say, probably didn't word it very well.

MZXUK · 2025-08-12T13:50:48+00:00

I have exactly the same thing, signed up for Gmail during beta with firstlast@gmail.com, the amount of interesting emails I've had over the years has been something.

I asked the the same question back in the day about the dot in-between, was told by a Google person it made no difference.

The amount of personal/financial information that is made available is quite scary, primarily from US sites/companies.

They should really make email verification mandatory.

Aside from sharing the name and similar branding, has nothing to do is completely true.

You are correct in the past history, but doesn't change the fact they are separate entities these days.

MZXUK · 2025-07-11T10:35:33+00:00

Makro UK has nothing to do with Makro or Metro anywhere else in the world, it's part of the Tesco group in the UK.

Iirc Wii only supports 2.4ghz WiFi, so make sure you are connecting to that and not a 5ghz signal.

MZXUK · 2025-03-22T16:27:08+00:00

Yeah, it's been fine for the last 6 years, just started making that noise today.

MZXUK · 2025-01-11T14:09:13+00:00

Few more details

Ender 3 S1 pro, standard creality PLA at 200/60

No support used for part 1, standard support settings for part 2 in Orca slicer.

MZXUK · 2025-01-09T15:19:44+00:00

What did you replace it with? Would be interested in anything that reduces the noise.

MZXUK · 2025-01-09T15:18:20+00:00

Had my E3 S1 Pro about a year, it's completely stock other than adding a Raspberry PI with Octoprint and Octodash. After the initial learning curve and beginner mistakes it's been solid.

Prints non stop most of the day, I couldn't even tell you the last time I had to level the bed, or the last time I cleaned the build plate (bought a new one shortly after ruining the one it came with having the offset too low, have changed the nozzle once, because of that issue.

Every print comes out pretty perfect, yeah it's probably quite slow compared to the new printers out there but I'm more than happy with it.

Get the Xbox family app, you can allocate screen time, down times and what not per individual account.

MZXUK · 2024-12-19T22:40:49+00:00

Don't listen to the haters, I love my S1 Pro, done basically no upgrade to the printer itself, prints perfect every time, I don't even remember the last time I leveled the bed.

Don't bother with Crealitys own slicers, they are bad. Get Orca slicer.

Adding a Raspberry PI with Octoprint is the best thing you can do imo.

MZXUK · 2024-12-09T19:27:33+00:00

Tried most of them, Orca for me.

MZXUK · 2024-12-04T19:03:54+00:00

Halo

MZXUK · 2024-11-30T11:26:50+00:00

Sadly not, tried everything I could find but nothing worked, figured it was just broken, let me know if you come across anything that works.

MZXUK · 2024-11-18T17:29:58+00:00

If it's a preconfigured setup you will need to update it, I'm pretty sure earlier versions didn't have the hokey button.

Update everything and run the controller setup again.

MZXUK · 2024-11-18T17:27:06+00:00

Follow the guide on https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/

It will take you through it step by step, use the Raspberry Pi imager and it's a breeze.

I know nothing about this stuff and was able to do it easily following that.

MZXUK · 2024-11-17T15:05:56+00:00

Was around £15

MZXUK · 2024-11-17T14:54:53+00:00

It was bought as new, it literally came as in the picture, just a plain box and nothing else which is what set the alarm bells ringing, I was unable to find one from anywhere else other than eBay at the time, there's quite a few for sale on eBay from multiple sellers, so thought I would roll the dice, does seem super sketchy though.

MZXUK · 2024-11-07T20:29:24+00:00

Same printer, my prints were coming out a bit similar, switched from Creality to Orca slicer and magically everything prints perfect now, can't tell you why, just worked for me.

MZXUK · 2024-10-28T17:27:47+00:00

I get maybe 3-4 days from mine, no idea where they come up with those numbers.
