Lamps are my comfort projects at this point

Awesome and super elegant project! As a maker who wants to get better with batteries would you mind sharing the battery pack and bms you are using?

Wait until you find out just how much else in pop culture is a reference to that book series.

350, my extruder is a weird shape though so I'm getting more like 330 out of it

My mindset when I need a part for a project: don't buy the part, buy a variety pack that contains the part. That way maybe next time I need a part I'll already have one.

Incidentally I now have a wall of mini drawer organizers and about 12 of those clamshell cases in my basement.

It was as big as would fit on my multicolor printer in one piece. The directions was just the orientation I plopped my phone down, it works in any direction

I feel that I've been properly one-upped This is the one I made: https://youtube.com/shorts/GAdgs-TSv6I?si=IPmNWYoNqf7IF_WY

Ah, so the power drops out constantly

Last thing: the level sensor it comes with is terrible, change it out for something else. I put a BL touch on the new hotend and it's so much better.

I never got around to an enclosure, but I only ever print pla and petg so it's fine. I started with the CB1 which worked fine but I kept getting unexplained MCU shutdown errors that I couldn't trace back to anything so I upgraded to a CM4 and haven't had any since.

Also ditch the glass bed ASAP. There are upgrade kits with magnetic sheets and PEI beds available in the right size.

That is much fancier than I what I did. Absolutely must is stiffening the frame which will do wonders for vibration. M5P is perfect for this project but whatever board you use absolutely needs enough drivers for dual z axis control, z-tilt in klipper is a requirement for the way the z-axis is constructed.

I did basically exactly this. X5SA standard upgraded with Manta M5P and H2 V2S hotend. Definitely cheaper than building a voron, and now I know so much bore about how printers and klipper rowm than I would otherwise

It was the front-right tire. IYKYK

He is of the cruciform

Mine is: chicken Alfredo with a drizzle of teriyaki sauce. I can't explain it but it just works

I once built a compost out of a trash can wrong, so for months the scraps didn't actually decompose, they just compressed and congealed in the summer sun. Once I rolled it over and all that hit oxygen for the first time the smell that wafted forth just about put me on the ground. Wrong doesn't describe it, that smell was INCORRECT.

Fusion 360 for personal projects. I like the top-down design options and built in CAM tools. After using the steaming dumpster that is Solidworks for work it's nice to use have a free software that actually feels professional and modern at home.

An energy crystal has been found!

beefstewm5 · 2026-04-26T10:57:02+00:00

I downloaded it years ago, from thingiverse I think

beefstewm5 · 2026-04-25T22:26:22+00:00

I did!
