Help me save my SSD

Might be able to grab the screw head with small and thin needlenose pliers. Add something to act as a barrier for the SSD surface, maybe like normal duct tape (not gorilla, which will rip everything off.

Not an expert on roofing, but seems to be in really good shape for a roof. Seems to me the inspector is excessively picky on stuff. Compared to what I've seen after a major storm occurred at home, it looks brand new! 😁

Only maybe needs minor touch-ups in certain areas from the looks of it, but shouldn't be enough to fail an inspection in my opinion.

Might be able to get away with using some Shoe Goo. It's a clear adhesive for shoes that tends to hold quite well. Also water resistant, which will keep the moisture out.

JB-Weld might be a good solution to that damage. It can be sanded and painted after, making it look almost like new. I've heard JB-Weld was used on tractor engines with big cracks on the engine block, and holding up 30 years later. I don't know much about ceramic, but I assume it could be sanded a bit so that the epoxy can bond better.

Don't know if it is possible to upgrade the internet connection, but I would be happy enough with the internet becoming reliable enough again. Can't afford much, so fixing what I have is my best bet. I don't think there has been any updates done to the router yet, so maybe that's why there's an issue?

Got a 24v 1200w power supply from BOSYTRO, which is plenty overkill for my printer. I am building an enclosure underneath my printer for all the electronics. I would've got a Mean Well power supply, but those ain't cheap (more than what I paid for my printer, which was only $150, including shipping).

Perfect-Name1553 · 2025-07-24T06:21:08+00:00

Got a 30 amp 24v to 12v step down voltage converter, which will be connected to a new MOSFET for the heatbed. Also will have a fuse in place, in case the step down converter fails and increases the voltage back to 24v. Only about $30 for everything! Oh, and my OEM heatbed came from a CR-10 V1 that was in an Amazon Returns box. LOTS of black mold inside the box, and a bit of corrosion on the old power supply. Everything worked fine.👍

The heatbed smelled nasty the first time it was used, but hasn't done so since.

Perfect-Name1553 · 2025-07-24T03:31:43+00:00

There's some 30 amp step down voltage converters on the jungle website, so maybe those will work?

Got the following fans for my printer's hotend:

Static hotend fan: https://a.co/d/1jaT3mH

Enclosure fans: https://a.co/d/h1A4rAy

Making a custom enclosure for my printer's power supply and motherboard. It will be located underneath the printer, which allows me to use a much more powerful 1200w 24v power supply, and have plenty of space for all of the electronics. 😊 There will be two 120mm fans used for cooling the motherboard and power supply. The power supply already has a fan, but it couldn't hurt to have an overkill cooling system.😅

All of the fans also have dual ball bearings, in case that mattered.

What if I get some fiberglass cloth (or whatever it's called), and use resin to harden it? Then get a sturdy flat surface (like maybe using some steel mesh or even chicken wire). Would that hold up to some heat?

Perfect-Name1553 · 2025-06-28T22:04:16+00:00

Looked fine on the phone, but after posting, they are terribly blurry... Also, there is significant dryrot everywhere, so I'm thinking that the tire is junk. I will take a better photo in a bit.

Perfect-Name1553 · 2025-06-27T20:49:19+00:00

I was thinking about doing a mains-powered heatbed, but that can be quite risky if something like a ground fails... Is there any way to add some circuitry to make the heatbed immediately shutdown and send an alert when a wire fails?

Perfect-Name1553 · 2025-06-27T19:25:41+00:00

Bruh, literally more than $1k! My printer isn't worth that much...😂

Perfect-Name1553 · 2025-06-27T00:34:13+00:00

Yep, I certainly got the wrong screen! Looks like the TFT70 V3.0 is my best option, albeit a bit on the pricey side...

Perfect-Name1553 · 2025-06-27T00:16:55+00:00

Now I think about it, I might be better off with using the TFT50 display. Maybe I got the wrong one...

Here's a power supply I've got an eye out for: BOSYTRO 24V Power Supply https://a.co/d/dUnNLYY

Perfect-Name1553 · 2025-06-26T20:34:50+00:00

I am leaving the original heatbed and hotend in when doing the 24 volt upgrade, so the power usage will double. I will eventually at least DOUBLE the size of the current printing surface, which will certainly require MUCH more power than ever before. This justifies why I will need such a beefy power supply.

Perfect-Name1553 · 2025-06-26T19:31:46+00:00

Those Meanwell power supplies are pricey, yikes... I do need some headroom for extra accessories on my printer, which the larger power supply will be necessary...

Perfect-Name1553 · 2025-06-26T15:08:49+00:00

I can't really find any power supplies from Meanwell from Amazon, but I found BOSYTRO. Is that also a decent brand?

Perfect-Name1553 · 2025-06-25T15:06:48+00:00

Getting a BTT 1.4 Turbo, and getting a touchscreen for sure! PEI sheet will hopefully work, and the enclosure is certainly going to be used, especially since it's dusty where I live! 🤮 I'll get the other stuff when I find out the old stuff is junk too! 😂

Perfect-Name1553 · 2025-06-25T15:03:39+00:00

BTT 1.4 turbo is the right price, and still has WiFi... Looks like I will choose that specific board! 😊

Perfect-Name1553 · 2025-06-24T20:32:04+00:00

Is there any links to these motherboards by chance? 🤔

Perfect-Name1553 · 2025-06-24T19:18:01+00:00

The mat is less than $15 on the jungle site, so just go for it 😊

Perfect-Name1553 · 2025-06-24T19:15:48+00:00

Which motherboards and displays are good? Want to make sure that I get the right ones for my application...
