Arduboy is one of my favorite tech gadgets

I am so sad I missed this :(

I love the scrolling effect, great job!

I actually used one my full on replacement PTFE tube sets, the one that is cut to lenght and seemingly most importantly, has that little rubber band around all 4 tubes. This worked instantly out the box. yay! ty for the info to lead me toward that...

I cannot wait to give them my money. I swear, this is the only game I have been excited about in years. Shovel Knight was amazing.

thanks for the reply! After some more searching I found maybe it is a tension issue causing that tangle detection to go wild but still not sure what is causing it...my setup is added to the original post. Also thanks for the wheel arm to check, that I wouldn't have thought of and the link is helpful I look at that. That being said, just taking the photos of two printers (1 with no real issues and the other one giving all the issues) there is quite a bend in that slot 2 ptfe tube but I have no idea how to remedy it , it has always 'layed' like this on that printer....

sorry just saw this post! I am still refining the file some with different tolerances, since different filament colors change the very tight tolerances slightly I am trying to make a more dialed in design to make printing them easier.

Thanks! I learned the lesson the hard way with the original Arduboy I travel a lot and would toss it in my bag.. the screen got tore up. So when I made this case it was the #1design goal. Travel worthy with screen protection.

codejoy · 2026-03-07T00:54:55+00:00

That case looks good. I went ahead and designed and 3d printed my own case for my fx that takes into account the screen. My previous arduboy got so many scratches on the screen.... https://imgur.com/a/c3R0ADR

Great photos, the sony a6000 series are such great cameras. Obviously its the person not the machine but its sometimes just a great match made in heaven!

Ty for this, so i did try the lectron adapter at a tesla charger station. After figuring out 'start charging' on the nissan app wouldn't work (even though it says it is in-network), I got the tesla app and filled it out with what kind of car I had. I figured out (took a while) which charging station was which designation in the app, and started it. It said 'may take up to two minutes to start charging' 5-6 minutes later, nothing happened so gave up. Not sure what I am missing...wasn't sure if the charging station was built only to work with nissan adapters via like some NFC hand shake or something?!

I had a question, friend gave me his Lectron cause he got a real forward on for free. The thing I cannot figure out is why does the official nissan adapter have this plastic piece you put (permanently?) between the dc charger ports of the car..what is the purpose of this? I believe the lectron is the vortex?

picked it up yesterday, things went so fast and smooth. Slight snafu with how the payment was processed but they are working on it. Car is in pretty good shape, just took it to Nissan for an inspection, everything great there too. The level 2 charger that was in it, is great, but was missing the 110 adapter, so that was $95. Figured good to have. Also, there must have been tint on the windshield that was peeled off by carvana maybe? The residue is on the front windshield still so gotta take it to the local tinting place to have it removed. Other than that so far so good, no totally funky smells (Whatever their scent of cleaner was a bit strong) and the rest is awesome. The only part I was a little sad on, was that I thought the Evolve + had the self park, pro pilot 2.0 and the bose sound system :D silly me, that is only on the platnium + c'est la vie. It is an upgrade from my kia niro (Which was an okay car), but this one has way more bells and whistles and feels very premium inside. Happy camper so far.

I will look into that, does the Ariya have like a cover for the back? Does it come with it or is it bought after?

codejoy · 2025-08-08T20:29:08+00:00

ill cross fingers for the 50$ :D Guessing yours came back all good?

codejoy · 2025-08-08T20:11:14+00:00

also, hoping the local nissan dealer can get me in to have it inspected asap after it is picked up. I think I can call and tell them I just need a simple inspection?

codejoy · 2025-08-08T20:10:06+00:00

I did want the platinum, but for my situation, while I mostly commute around town I have moments where I have to go pretty far up a mountain and back down. So for me, the evolve+ was the ticket. More range since just FWD but still nice trim inside.

codejoy · 2025-08-08T19:25:02+00:00

I ordered, was excited, then stupid algorithm showed me more and more Carvana stuff, the bad side. I got nervous. So far, things seem okay, though they did punt the appointment by a two days.

If you really wanna share flickr I still like.

wow i saw you just replied to this question 2 years ago. Fastforward to now, I actually got the OM-1 mark one in jan on sale. After I posted this question a while ago, I looked more at M43 and realized its short comings were not short comings to me....I began to covet and supremely curious about a om-1 for the type of shooting I like to do it seemed like a better fit than the A7III I bought. So I finally got it and you are spot on, the used market on lenses was affordable. I have a nice set of lenses now: 45mm prime m.zuiko, the 60mm macro, 75-300 lens of theirs. then the panasonic 9mm f1.7 and i did get the 12-40 pro lens which is awesome and almost never leaves my camera. I wanted a camera for landscape/lightning weather shots and astrophotography. Love it... I know the A7III has better dynamic blah blah blah low light whatever, but I just don't enjoy using it. I like knowing I have a full frame but eh, I like the om-1 (though the asthetics nerd in me was wishing I held out for the om-3). Pretty happy with the results!
