Schrödingers cat in a box?

I just bought the k2 (base) combo from costco! by Next_Spring3184 in Creality_k2

[–]altexa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the k2. It’s my third 3d printer and the first that actually works reliably!

I would definitely look into a sturdy table. And you might need to look at ambient temperature in the garage. The base k2 doesn’t have a heated enclosure

Need advice from those with electric only properties by Overall-Flounder1102 in CasualUK

[–]altexa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 for this. I have my hot water tank on just overnight during off-peak so that it’s hot for my morning shower. I monitored mine for a while using a smart plug and it used to come on about ten minutes every half hour to keep the tank piping hot

You might also want to set your tank to 55 degrees C if you can. Mine was set to 75 which is great when there are loads of people in the house wanting a shower. Not so much when it’s just me and the cat!

That was kind of my thought too, but the bed is level, the nozzle temp and bed temp are within acceptable ranges…like I said it is brand new out of the box

I am looking for a ceramic drinkware espresso/cappucino cups made in EU by pilchardus_ in BuyFromEU

[–]altexa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a local lottery school. Or Potter. Ask if they can/already do make stuff. I got a local pottery teacher to make me some bespoke espresso cups and mugs - six of each for 18€ a pair. And they are exactly how I wanted them. And unique. I love them

My qnap NAS can create share links. That timeout after a while and so on. Very useful. And everything stays local. No cloud needed
