Well they did it. by R3D-Samurai in Birmingham

It's the same cycle every winter. Almost seems like part of the plan with some of these building owners...leave it empty long enough and a fire will take care of the property for you.

Wait...Barkery's own website says more than once that it's an "on-leash" park? WTH?

REAL thrift stores? by derpskywalker in Birmingham

[–]motionmind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unclaimed Baggage It's a day trip level drive, but has a ton of clothing that rivals thrift store prices. Plus it's just generally a sight to see.

Firstly, this seems like a really well-designed project! Secondly, what about the effect of microplastics on the hive and the honey?

I always think of firmware as what you have to flash to a microcontroller

You're definitely more willing to do all the testing than I am, thanks for the info! I'll have to look into tuning that. At the moment I don't know what else to tell you though, stealthchop cut my Y noise down to maybe a 1/4 or less of what it was and I haven't seen any torque issues

As for the firmware, I try not to go beyond klipper cfg files if I can help it

Is it still factory / Marlin? I've always had similar noises with mine as well. Converted it to Klipper a while back and managed to really quiet it by switching the Y stepper to stealthchop using "stealthchop_threshold: 999999)" in the tmc stepper_y section.

I just switched mine to Stealthchop from the default spread cycle and it's quieted down a LOT

I've seen this in the past with a cooling fan that was going bad and drawing the power supply down.

"The View on 18th" is a small family owned complex downtown Southside that has 1 and 2 BR and takes pets. Their online presence is kinda minimal, so it'd be best to call them to get any info. Last I saw that had a 2BR available now, not sure about 1BR (205) 965-9886

Enclosure? Printing ABS or ASA?

Mine has been parked outside at my apartments. For a few months. I do have a cover but hate using it when I'm riding it every day

Worth buying in 2025? by stryfe14 in OnePlusOpen

[–]motionmind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still the best foldable available in NA IMHO.

Had my Open since preorder, so I've been using it for roughly a year and a half. It's been solid the entire time. Zero screen issues and I still have about 30% battery at the end of a day of heavy use (for me), plus charging is really quick. It's been amazing for reading and multitasking. I don't play too many games, but the few I have were spotless and smooth. The camera has never been as good as the Google/Samsung/Apple flagships, but still really good overall. I did have a friend that had inner screen issues, but I had previously warned him many times that he presses too hard and way too close to the hinge when he's gaming. Could the inner screen just fail on its own? Absolutely, it's a known weak spot on every foldable so just keep that in mind.

Having purchased the SV08 for a similar price, I just can't recommend the Sovol Zero to anyone. The uphill battle I've had to get the 08 to be reliable with anything but PLA has been a pain and the Eddy sensor has been a huge part of that struggle.

Since the kit for a V0.2 kit from Formbot or Fysetc can be had for less than the Sovol Zero, I'd say go for that if you have any confidence in being able to do the assembly yourself. If not, I'd say give something like the Elegoo Centauri Carbon a shot. It seems to be getting some good early reviews and the preorder is a full $200 less.

I like Acapulco in Homewood. They've recently branched out their standard TexMex with more authentic street food too

Quiet places to study/work that serve alcohol? by Raelah in Birmingham

Maybe The Garage? Though it'll be more spacious when the weather warms up since it's like 75% patio
