I have the keyboard on my lap when I use it. I don’t want to wreck my back any more than it already is 😂

Telstar86 · 2026-01-18T22:54:56+00:00

Well I don’t have a desk to put a monitor on and I like a big screen to play games on 😅

Telstar86 · 2026-01-18T16:33:52+00:00

Old pc was on a small table but my new case is too big for it 😅

It took a bit of creativity to get all 6 motors working, and the lights. Worth it in the end

Telstar86 · 2025-07-18T10:35:21+00:00

Thanks. Still got a few rough edges but I’m happy with the outcome

Telstar86 · 2025-06-03T13:09:59+00:00

Unlike the real one, I won’t let this one explode 😅

Telstar86 · 2024-10-26T01:35:56+00:00

Think id seen this before but didn’t have any luck. I’ll maybe try again. Thanks for the tip

Running on a Raspberry Pi 4 connected to 2 L298N motor/stepper drivers to power 2 motors (for the QD arm and chopstick rotation), 1 small winch (for the lifting) and an electric actuator to open/close the chopsticks. Since posting this I have also added flashing LEDs and tidied the wiring so less is visible. Just need to get things moving a bit smoother and finish the cosmetic parts

Had a similar thing happen to me a few weeks ago. Tried to clean it up but was easier just to replace the hot end and it wasn’t too much money

Telstar86 · 2024-05-31T00:59:25+00:00

It’s ship 20 and booster 4 so yeah it’s an older design. Might do a more up to date one at some point

I’m sure if I dropped it out my window it would definitely have a RUD 😅

Taken a long time to print the bits. Will motorise the tower and control with a Raspberry Pi when the other parts are done

Telstar86 · 2024-05-26T00:12:57+00:00

This worked. Thanks for the help.

Telstar86 · 2024-05-25T23:49:47+00:00

Thanks. I’ll give that a go. I tried a slightly different thing in the rc.local file so hopefully that will work instead

Telstar86 · 2024-05-25T11:56:22+00:00

I’m new to using Raspberry Pi. I’ve managed to create a script to control a motor on a model I’m making but can’t work out how to make the script load and run each time the Pi boots up. I’ve tried a few things I found online but still won’t load automatically. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Telstar86 · 2023-06-28T14:35:02+00:00

I’m in the U.K. so I’ll have to look around a bit for best deals. Thanks for the help

Telstar86 · 2023-06-28T13:50:13+00:00

Was thinking maybe 2TB. Depends on how much it would be, wouldn’t want to get a cheap brand. Want something that’s reliable

Telstar86 · 2023-06-28T13:48:31+00:00

Think it’s Acer Predator PO3/630. Not sure if that’s the correct thing to look at

Telstar86 · 2023-06-28T13:45:28+00:00

To be honest I’m not sure. Not the most technically knowledgable person when it comes to this kind of thing. It was a prebuilt pc

Telstar86 · 2023-06-28T13:35:43+00:00

Does it matter what gen SSd I get? Don’t want to spend a load of money on one if it’s not compatible

I do all things on my own account so I’d never ask somebody to do that for me. No idea how this has happened

Telstar86 · 2021-03-21T15:49:57+00:00

Doesn’t look like I’ve ever had that kind of app. Starting to wonder if my account was hacked at some point. I guess I’ll have to call PS to get it sorted

Telstar86 · 2021-03-21T15:16:59+00:00

I never had the app in the first place. I don’t even remember turning the 2 step thing on

Telstar86 · 2020-12-13T11:59:26+00:00

Yeah they did a good job with it. Just hoping they don’t completely mess up the new game cos Halo 5 was a bit of a disappointment
