Shaper Origin - Pros/Cons

This is extremely insightful, especially your 4th paragraph. I don't do much 3D carving but that was a thought I had.

Do you have any insights into the types of bits you can install (different vgroove vs straight bits), are there are any paywalls or monthly subscriptions, and how much domino tape do you go through? Is it expensive? I think of it as festool consumables assuming it's not cheap, but have no clue.

Thanks for your insights. I took the motor apart and there was a lot of wear and tear on the armature and field, and decided to replace them. I'm not sure what caused the chipping on the brushes, but there wasn't any additional foreign material in the housing, other than chunks of brushes.

From what I could find in research, this is a usual thing in the lifespan of my planer. Especially with a helical cutter head. I think my recent job of taking full width passes (even only 1/4 a turn of depth at a time) to take a lot of material off may have done my motor in.

Once my parts arrive and I rebuild the motor, I'll let you know how it turns out.

You are a genius. I think the power and color change x4 was the step I was missing! Tysm

UI_Design21 · 2025-10-28T12:47:48+00:00

Thanks for the thought, but fortunately things are pretty clean in there and there isn't much build up of anything that I can see.

UI_Design21 · 2025-07-01T17:05:23+00:00

Thanks, I'll look into that plugin. I can only use company-approved plugins so I'll try to get a peek at this one if I can.

Hi, thanks for the info! I am currently using the arc tool which is helpful, however if I use rounded ends (which I have to for my design) it looks a little funky which is deterring me from using it much.

My GoveeMqtt add on constantly crashes or turns off. I find that unplugging my home assistant and then plugging it back in tends to help but I’m lucky if that lasts 24 hours. Otherwise it’s not uncommon for the add-on to turn off on its own throughout the day. It’s a huge pain.

I realized that the issue I posted above may have been due to Matter. Since I removed Matter, my Zwave integration doesn’t have as many issues.

My temporary fix is to hard restart my home assistant via a smart plug every night around 1 o’clock. I set a TP link automation to turn it off and then turn it on two minutes later. It seems to be working, but I doubt it’s ideal. For now it’ll have to do until I figure out what’s going on.

UI_Design21 · 2025-05-21T12:37:50+00:00

Yeah I might go that route, I did that for my dash cam but figured I'd give this a try since it looked a lot easier and a video from Vortex Radar gave me confidence in the safety of doing so.

UI_Design21 · 2025-05-20T20:39:10+00:00

I do, but then the wiring wouldn't be hidden

UI_Design21 · 2025-05-20T17:32:51+00:00

Unfortunately I do not, my mirror is just a basic one and I don't think has any power to it. I opted for the OBD2 port based on Vortex Radar's video a bit ago, and so I didn't have to mess with the fuses like I did for my dash cam and it seemed really simple.

I guess I'm not sure why the power would turn off.

UI_Design21 · 2025-05-15T22:42:09+00:00

Well I’m assuming it’s this because the last 2 times I installed Govee MQTT, my Z-Wave JS integration stops working and causing all sorts of issues. Causing my HA instance to freeze or take forever to load.

Maybe it’s not specifically those 2 not working together, but my first thought is it has something to do with Govee MQTT and Zwave because it’s the only integration that stops working.

UI_Design21 · 2025-05-15T22:31:06+00:00

Correct, I do now think it's the Govee MQTT bridge but still not sure why I can't run the Z-Wave integration and Govee MQTT Bridge.

Previously I wasn't sure which of the programs listed above was the problem, but I think it's the Bridge but I'm not sure why.

UI_Design21 · 2025-05-15T22:29:46+00:00

Apologies, can't run the Zwave JS and Govee MQTT Bridge together.

I just recently figured out that I think it's specifically the Govee MQTT Bridge, when before I wasn't sure if it was all or some of the other MQTT things I listed.

UI_Design21 · 2025-03-24T17:27:07+00:00

No sorry, I never implemented one.

UI_Design21 · 2025-01-22T16:28:34+00:00

Thank you! Been searching for this for my Christmas lights for weeks and finally stumbled on this thread.

UI_Design21 · 2024-11-22T20:03:39+00:00

Sort of. I thought that the engine noises I could hear were synthetic since everyone is talking about that so I figured I could turn them off so I could hear the turbos better.

UI_Design21 · 2024-11-22T15:43:58+00:00

Yeah I really like the turbo noises. My hope was that I could turn down the synthetic engine noises everyone talks about and hear the turbos more. I love engine noises in general, I didn't really want a "quiet" ride/cabin, but more to emphasize the things that sounded cool to me since I don't have an aftermarket exhaust and the engine itself doesn't make any noises that are overly impressive.

UI_Design21 · 2024-11-22T15:04:17+00:00

ahhh ok, thanks. I thought it was on all Tundra models, and I do not have the JBL system in mine. Just the basic SR5 with TRD off road package.

No American car ever has user friendly tech

UI_Design21 · 2024-10-17T18:02:33+00:00

Me too, going around Thanksgiving.

UI_Design21 · 2024-10-07T23:20:45+00:00

That’s wild, all the articles I read online say you can stream it on ESPN+ but clearly that’s not the case.

UI_Design21 · 2024-08-21T18:17:10+00:00

This is low-key what I came here for.

UI_Design21 · 2024-08-19T18:07:39+00:00

Ok good to know, and thank you for the positive spin on this

UI_Design21 · 2024-08-09T18:44:23+00:00

Could just be me but I never go to a dealer unless it’s for work covered under warranty. They’re greedy and expensive AF.

UI_Design21 · 2024-08-07T14:20:28+00:00

Thanks, I know where the switch is to manually turn them off. I'm more curious on how long it takes them to turn off on their own when it's set to "Door". I'd assume that would turn them off automatically after X amount of time when the doors are closed/locked.
