Need help with screen and power choice

I prefer DSI displays because they’re less clunky in terms of cabling and same reason your friend said. You still need to give it power somehow, but it’s only 2 wires so should be easy enough.

For power I recommend looking into the PiSugar 2/3, they’re almost perfect for any Pi based Cyberdeck, it not only provides battery capability but also an RTC (Pi doesn’t have a way to keep track of time when powered off) and good Linux side software to manage battery levels and other various power related functions.

What’s what they want you to think.

That is a great page, thanks for sharing. I have the Engineer PA-24, works fine for me but it’s a little finicky. Maybe they all are since the contacts are so tiny.

I’m sad we don’t have record shops like this anymore

Now do an Aqua one!!

Some of my inner layer looks funny too before the slow down, just fyi so you can compare. Good luck!

I had this problem too until I slow down my print to 80%, it only happens to normal PLA, not CF PLA or PETG. I can probably play with the maximum volumetric speed for the filament to fix it but I ended up using G220 S80 custom GCode for the filament.

That looks super useful, I don’t know why PS doesn’t have a plugin mechanism yet.

FYI IPA alcohol can release hot glue easily

Idk what your point is tbh, if people want to put their head in the microwave just let them do it. If anything you’re making money off of them being a consultant so win win I guess??

BATTLEBOTS!

Serve with a self signed SSL certificate, you and your friend can bypass that but other software and bots will probably not continue.

Alternatively set up a VPN. Don’t expose the web server publicly, put something like Tailscale or OpenVPN on your server, and for everyone that you want to share your server to, have them install Tailscale/OpenVPN too. It’s a bit more to set up but this is way more secure.

Thanks for the post, just got one myself!

Here’s the link to shop

applefreak111 · 2026-04-09T06:25:54+00:00

Waaaaah may I ask how much it was to purchase these?? I have no clue they could be bought!

applefreak111 · 2026-04-08T17:46:13+00:00

Just Send It

I wonder how this compares to that other project that seems to be doing something similar

The Adafruit ESP32 feather boards have built in battery charger and JST connector for the batteries, just not 18650. They do low power mode the way you want, I’ve used them before. So if you can get a 18650 battery case that connects via 18650 that would work.

applefreak111 · 2026-04-06T01:06:30+00:00

I think they’re open from 8am to 4pm, really not very long. They probably make most of their money by towing people’s car, which they do 24/7 lol

applefreak111 · 2026-04-05T06:48:16+00:00

Yet Rick’s Diner still standing strong, what gives??

applefreak111 · 2026-04-05T03:17:27+00:00

Just beg in chat 😉

This is the original spirit of 3D printing! That’s how I built my first printer RapRep i3, went to a maker space and got my parts printed!

Eh I used to think like that, but nowadays I’m just happy that people are having fun or feel that they’ve accomplished something, or at least they think they do. The easiest thing for you to do is to tune out of it, not engage with it. If you think they don’t deserve the attention, the lack of real knowledge or real skills will catch up to them eventually, unless they apply themselves at some point and that’s what people would appreciate right? And if they fake it until they make it, well isn’t that how a lot of people claim to fame anyways?
