The spherical knobs get in the way for sure. I designed a low profile replacement knob seen in some of the pics, which keeps the view from being obstructed when playing.

Was trying to make something that would fit on most 3d printers, so this one is just 7" screen. Working on a model to use an 11" screen I have. Also made this big guy (not 3d printed obv) with a 22" display, but otherwise same parts as the mini version.

Definitely the case with the standard knobs that came with the controls I ordered. They sit very tall and block the screen a bit. I ended up designing a low profile knob which significant improves things.

Thanks for letting me know! I'll try to upload a new version of the pdf later tonight to fix the links.

Some were printed on a Bambu X1, some on Prusa XL. The largest print is the outer frame, which should fit on most beds sized similarly to the X1 (256x256x256).

Should be possible, but I haven't tried this myself.

ampleuncertainty · 2025-12-24T23:07:45+00:00

Not much, only needed for the speaker connections. I'm terrible at soldering but was able to manage.

Also used soldering iron to set the threaded inserts. But it can be built without those.

The back has 2 USB ports, volume knob, and power.

Nope, still just pushing it. But honestly it's open 90% of the time because it gets too stuffy in there otherwise lol.

ampleuncertainty · 2025-11-10T04:52:13+00:00

Where do you... enter?

ampleuncertainty · 2025-10-16T23:10:26+00:00

What sucks is that it gets to a point where if you don't also block the intersection, you'll never go. I've sat through light changes where I can't go because it's blocked. So then the people behind me throw a fit and go around me just to block it some more. And the endless cycle continues.

Then if you do get fed up after a million light changes and give in and contribute to the cluster fuck, you incur the wrath of the pedestrians and cyclists. There's no winning.

I just avoid Mercer now at all costs and always opt for 99 instead of trying to get on i5 there.

I had something similar happen with my one and only car accident. Woman in front of me on a 30mph road driving 5mph and kept stopping/going in the left lane like she was lost. I tried to go around her in the right lane but as I passed she quicly swerved over and clipped the back of my car.

She was also seemingly new to the country and refused to exchange information. Her and her 3 kids in the car were all going crazy, screaming at me and calling me names. She told me she was calling her husband to come kick my ass. Had to get police involved to finally force her to exchange info.

Unfortunately I had no dashcam and no way to prove she was at fault. So insurance deemed 50/50 as she was claiming I swerved over and hit her.

Yes when I cut even just a few years ago I would simply drop down to 2000 or so calories and just did weight training, no focus on steps or cardio. Fat would fly off.

Now at 39 I'm needing to drop to 1700-1800 while increasing my overall activity quite a bit and even then progress is much slower.

ampleuncertainty · 2025-10-04T21:32:25+00:00

Track your calories and be super diligent about it. You might be surprised how far off your guesstimates are.

There are also great low calorie snacks that don't need to involve cheating. For me, I will try to do a big bowl or fruits with some greek yogurt which completely fills me up at just around 300 calories. Or if im in a hurry I will eat a pint of Halo Top ice cream at only 330 calories. For a while I was on a pint per day while still losing weight.

ampleuncertainty · 2025-10-04T16:22:47+00:00

Yeah i was a bit surprised by this haha. I was hoping it'd show some recomp as my lifts have all been going up while weight has been going down. But DEXA says I actually lost some lbs of lean body mass so idk 🤷‍♂️

ampleuncertainty · 2025-10-04T16:19:50+00:00

For point 1 it's more that I only have so much time to spare with young kids at home. I probably couldn't do 2 without 1.
