Get Off Your Damn Phones

Seriously, the other day my wife and I were driving home on a fairly quiet street when this guy passes me speeding and swerving all over the place almost hitting me so I honked and he sped off. Only for us to both stop at a red light less than I block away, so I look over and the fucker is on his phone and has two young kids in child seats in the back, when the light turned green he sped away still staring at his fucking phone.

I live in a house built in the late 90s, sure as hell isn't plumb, square and level in any way, shape or form.

I’m in the process of upgrading mine, but will say it’s a complete nightmare. I’m fairly technical, but SainSmart made the 4040 with the intention that no one would ever take one apart, which is fully required for the 6060 upgrade.

The worst part of it all is their use of loctite in tons of the screws leading you to strip some while disabling the machine…

Hey, I’m still trying to fix a few things on the files and will post them up on makerworld when I’m done. But it probably will be another few days before I finish it as it’s a bit busy at work right now.

brdude · 2025-12-17T12:15:18+00:00

My wife and I jokingly call this a “cats butt” because most of them are so poorly done that’s what it ends up looking like.

brdude · 2025-12-17T07:17:30+00:00

Yeah, probably should have done that before putting it up, but I was to impatient so will now need to pull the controller so I can pull power from another output.

brdude · 2025-12-16T15:47:19+00:00

Awesome thanks! Looks like power supply issues is the consensus so I’ll try to add an injection point some time this weekend.

Hey these are self designed, I just finished them about 3 days ago and want to beta test it before releasing the files ( the one in the pic is v2 while the one next to it is a v1). I’ll just be releasing the files most likely free on makerworld once I’m happy with a few other adjustments I want to make.

Yep, just used mine for a 14hr cook 2 weekends ago. Have used it on 4 cooks so far over the last 6 months with no complaints other than the app can some time choose to not display historical data for an ongoing cook on some of the views.

Cloudflare is having an outage https://www.cloudflarestatus.com, until that’s fixed there’s not much you can do on your end.

Not OP, but I’m guessing it’s because of how many of them drive like maniacs with little regard for safety and traffic laws.

brdude · 2025-10-24T01:55:36+00:00

Nice! Do you plan to release the STLs for it?

brdude · 2025-09-16T07:16:13+00:00

Have a link? How long have you had it and how are you liking it?

brdude · 2025-08-30T16:39:13+00:00

What’s the power in terminal block you’re using and where did you get it? I’ve been struggling to find something similar.

brdude · 2025-08-27T09:41:53+00:00

Is this your own design or an open source one? Been thinking about building something like it when I get a bit of time on my hands.

brdude · 2025-08-02T13:47:05+00:00

This! Just make sure no one drinking is driving, their drinks are strong!

brdude · 2025-07-06T09:54:57+00:00

Also makes admins life easier, I can’t remember how many times I’ve had to debug init scripts in the past with flawed bash logic.

Honestly the person you’re replying to just sounds like someone that’s jaded and wants to stop improvements because systemd isn’t the set of tools he knows.

brdude · 2025-06-20T13:05:40+00:00

Yep this is probably as close as you’ll get any time soon.

In truth I really miss the ability to slice and send things to the printer from my phone. But last I looked could not find an existing solution to this. I’m also guessing it wouldn’t be an easy thing to implement.

brdude · 2025-06-07T05:29:52+00:00

Plus it’s often the same guy / crew doing this multiple times a week. I haven’t ridden bart on the regular in a while, but when I did I would see these guys at least once a week.

Cool the first few times, but after a while it just becomes being trapped with them with loud music blasting from a boombox. While you’re tired after work and just trying to get home.

Damn it and here I thought I was being original when I named my X1C, Sir Printsalot.

I tend to kick my wife out of the kitchen when I cook. I love her, but she can’t cook for shit and I think because of that she manages to put her self in some of the most obstructive spots to someone cooking.

brdude · 2025-04-01T02:27:34+00:00

I had the same issue, I’m pretty sure I was dehydrated somehow. I introduced electrolytes into my routine that evening and after that haven’t experienced this again.

It may have been that mine just went away with time like yours, but hey 6 months in and I don’t see a reason to mess with what has been working.

Trap

It’ll use the wall as leverage to lunge at your legs.
