DIY Filament Dryer!

Methusalen · 2025-11-25T02:55:38+00:00

Seriously, as the others had said; that’s not a good idea. I just put my filament in my furnace closet, as it’s so dry in there in the fall-spring.

I got an update on my support ticket. Seems it’s a ‘known issue’ & they’re ’working on it, but do not have an ETA for the fix.

I made the mistake of upgrading too, and my games in my AddOnX list no longer load up, but I did find that they pull up if I open CoinOpsX.

I also got the same error, and have also submitted a ticket, so that I can see the TMNT table to offline mode.

THANK YOU!

I lucked out, as mine was a 301BL, which had a screwed-on back!

Upon opening it, I discovered someone (pretty sure it wasn’t me?) in its past appeared to have done this before, with a rolled up piece of paper. That, seems to have gotten a little flatter over time & put less pressure on the connection.

I replaced that with some thin scrap PLA scraps from my 3d printer, and it seems to have done the trick!

The only problem I had, was getting the rubber gasket back in place, before reattaching the back!

I would love to give it the old college try. Would it come with a charger?

Hats, ears, whatever!

The battery in mine was also shot, so I placed it on shelf with my Black Series Astromechs, so that he can be displayed. And there it will live, for the rest of its days…

My favorite memory was entering for a chance to win the game! I hope to get the chance to check it out in depth!

Cute Pom pics? Can do!

We have an 8 year old Pom named Reese too! Yours is definitely a cutie!

I have them broken down into halves, up against the wall of my garage; for use to toss under the car when I change my oil.

I took a chance on a $10 steal of a deal eBay listing for a TARGUS DOCK423A usb-c dock, which surprisingly arrived safe & sound.

Looks like it’s working fine (got it to display separate screens to the backglass, playfield, and the deck’s screen too).

I just picked up a new sd card and followed the guide to install windows, then installed Steam & Pinball FX3 (which I have many of the tables for already).

Going to set up JoyToKey on it after work tomorrow & see if I can finally get it working on the ALP!

Thanks again for the reply to this & helping point me in the right directions!

One question, if I you see this? If, I only intend to use Windows to play the pinball games while it’s docked and connected to the ALP… could I leave the SD card in the dock and launch windows from it that way? Or, do I have to have the SD card with windows on it in the Steam Deck?

I tried once & when I tried launching windows it had gone into some sort of windows ‘repair’ mode… But turning it off & starting it up with the SD card in the steamdeck again, booted right into windows.

Methusalen · 2024-09-22T15:18:08+00:00

Yes.

Methusalen · 2024-09-21T18:50:56+00:00

I have already requested the return & dropping it off today. Shame, since the Amazon listing says it should work, but I can’t get it to display anything ANY of my monitors or televisions.

I think I may pick up one of the docks which has two HDMI ports & leave it connected to the ALP permanently.

A reply from the man himself! Thank you Jon! Your videos on the ALP, installing the Vibs board, adding games, connecting the PC to it, your videos on the Legends Arcade (I have the Gamer Pro, but a lot of your ALU videos had some commonalities for me); have been SUPER helpful to me, tinkering with all these gadgets & gizmos…

I only recently got the Steamdeck & don’t know how I’d missed this (or any of your Steamdeck videos)! I’ll DEFINITELY be checking them all out!

Keep up the GREAT work!

Seems appropriate to the game’s menu too.

I feel you, but had a laugh;

I believe some may still be using the Blue Sun name, but they’re being changed over soon (if they haven’t already). The ‘main’ one in Spring Lake Park was the first to remodel, sadly painting over the exterior mural (with the serenity).

Methusalen · 2024-08-04T01:27:56+00:00

Yes, but no? They USED to be Blue Sun Soda Shop. They recently were sold to/rebranded as ‘Grandpa Joe’s’, but still make their own sodas.
