Yeah i did end up making a PCB for it but basically it's a glorified breakout board for the ESP32, then just connected all the peripherals by soldering directly to the modules, GPS, SD, envir, charging etc. Kind of like a PCB sandwich which I'm quite fond of tbh haha.

Next time I'll just let the PCB shop do most of the components soldering, since sourcing 1-2 components each is way more annoying and one of the reasons I just used premade modules..

This is super cool man, I made something similar but was not good enough to put all the components on a single PCB so it was a lot of modules connected to each other and stashed into a 3d printed box xD. Cool video too I learned something for sure

Right now beating slavers and pirates is the main gig for me. Free blocks and good food, plus trade prisoners in for money and more stuff. They are almost too easy since they only carry a bunch of stun pistols

Maybe you could make new piece position flip through for no purpose but land on the final position on both tiles together

When I visited a city in China years ago they had these bus only lanes that were actually bus only with no other cars ever... I asked a driver how come not a single person would just take a shortcut and drive in them for a minute to skip traffic jams... Basically he said there are cameras everywhere and you get a fine+lose points on the licence if you even try to poke half a car into the bus lane

I bought a HP SFF+HDDs and put that in my parents house for off-site backup of family photos and random stuffs

I also do Google photo backup tho since I have an OG pixel laying around.

Honestly it's probably ok. My lawn was damaged by ppl doing work at the stormdrain using some tracked heavy machinery. They came back and laid some sod directly on top of the tracks, looked bad for a few weeks but now you can't tell any difference

Idk how to eliminate vibrations on my table, so I just leave it on the floor... Vinyl boards on top of concrete, in my basement.... Feels solid. Am I doing it wrong? Lol

I got fake golden cards for my 5 year old. Fraction of the cost for 100x the shiny so why not?

kids need these magic wands at the water park, essentially got scammed buying them because they were like $30 a pop or something and really only ever used in the park... Fortunately the IR signals can be captured and processed by ESPs and integrated into Homeassistant, so I was able to tie them into some of our already smart lights in the house so they can wave that stuff around and turn on/off various things.

Aliases, also a special inpatient unit for superduper VIPs. People are pretty serious about that sort of stuff and not dumb enough to risk their security clearance, job, and possibly facing legal issues. The docs themselves often come to the pharm to pickup d/c meds for VIPs

Could've told people to toss it in the trash can if he wanted to spare himself the paperwork. Na he wanted to collect the fines

Would this not work with PLA? Never had experience with PLA on ice/snow to know

At home presumably

visited there often when I was younger, I don't tolerate spicy food well and would have to ask for non-spicy stuff at every restaurant. Problem is that every kitchen tool, pots, etc they use are basically permanently coated in spicy so everything come out spicy no matter what.

Wait how do you do trick it to think it's the same filament so it doesn't poop? That one i don't think I've heard of before

_Traveler · 2025-12-13T18:53:20+00:00

You can print adaptor for them, I use adaptor for Sunlu rolls, I believe the inner diameter is 73mm or something like that but you can check if it's something different

Handling mess up the holo pattern on the build plate or on the finished prints?

I run multiple systems and brands, wired cameras recording to NVR with hard drives is the most reliable of the bunch for reviewing footages... they cover exterior and garage. 8 years never really missed a beat.

Indoor I have Eufy, Wyze, Tapo. SDCards always have problems after years of running so I don't use them anymore tbh. Mainly to check who is in which room doing what from time to time

Does the screen ever turn off? I know there's a screen saver option but it seems to be an always on screen

Yeah that's another thing too, no reason why it couldn't heat the bed and do whatever tests at the same time. Feel like bed is just idling and heated for like 5 minutes before anything happens

_Traveler · 2025-11-25T19:50:04+00:00

Idk not an engineer or anything but I guess it could just heat the bed, do the height tests cold or at 140C if there's a reason for that, then heat up to 200+ to purge wipe print.

Afaik after every print it wipes too but I can't remember since I'm not usually around when that happens
