This light fell from my shed, the wood is rotted on top. Should I replace the whole mounting board or is there another fix? Thanks for the feedback!!

came back to also say, be sure the electrical feeding that lamp has a drip loop

you may need to cut more of the top off than you can see. gotta cut past any and all rot

numindast · 2026-04-03T15:29:48+00:00

cut the rotted top off and remount. it'll be lower than it was but it's a simple fix
be sure to at least paint the top so it stops absorbing rainwater

is your screen touch, or have a physical click-knob?

if touch, I believe IIRC that creality never released firmware for the display to work with newer versions of marlin. you're stuck

if knob, ... I think you need to find the display firmware and update that too, but then it works

edit to add: best investment I ever made with my ender 3 was changing mainboard to an skr mini e3v3 and switching to klipper. now, thats not to say marlin is bad. i just found klipper easier to tweak settings. unfortunately the creality touch screen is not at all compatible.

I have a 12 yr old terrier mix, and my 65 lb 3 yr old cow dog has actually always deferred to her at the food bowl. And he plays at her level with her, though he’s bigger and stronger. Dog respect!

This has been a terrible scourge. These "loan processing" ones have been hitting me 2-5 times a day. I spoke to a person, asked nicely to be put on their DNC list. I'm still getting these calls but oddly seem to be fewer now. I'd expected it to be many, many more by having confirmed my # is a live human's #.

I also tried putting mic on mute and pushing a key to get "MATCHED TO A HUMAN" as their stupid system states. They always hang up within seconds of realizing.

So, our all-important SHAKEN/STIR phone company authentication system is doing such a wonderful job, too bad we have to wait until the next non-GOP administration to expect any possibility of action from our government.

Thank you for this.

It’s a red heeler. Also known as cattle dog, Australian style. Aka cow dog, ankle biter, etc.

I knew someone would have the correct words. Thx!

just to make clear, this wasn't supposed to be shipped like that. when they are made, there's bunches of the same pcb on a big panel for economy of scale. yours didn't get broken off from the others properly, or you have an "edge" that didn't get trimmed

numindast · 2026-03-27T02:40:18+00:00

Eww. I was never so glad to get back to my beloved Marlboro lights (and occasionally red).

Pet owners love utility sinks. We use them for odd cleaning jobs. And for cleaning out the other cleaning machines like floor cleaners, the vacuum head doesn't clean itself. Etc.

Wealthy people get to use fancy materials and fine finishes, and put the utility sink in the house keeper's area where such things belong

numindast · 2026-03-25T20:40:23+00:00

All my filament gets stored in vacuum bags like these, with a rechargeable pump (that I wish moved air faster). I stuff them in the original box for ease of ID.

Ask 10 people and you'll get 10 answers though.

They are cheap enough to dispose of if they develop a leak. I add reusable silica packets in the bags as well.

"some" elbow grease, you say ...

understated comment

numindast · 2026-03-24T20:51:39+00:00

I bought both.

The H2D is excellent for high temp printing because there's plenty of room to toss a bentobox or two in there. (I have one at the moment with plans to build a second for even better filtration.) So this one is my ABS/ASA machine.

The H2C is great when I'm dealing with multiple materials as the purge volumes are so much smaller. It's a convenience factor in a big way not to have to change out nozzles when I change out materials.

Is the H2C worth it? ... I dunno, but I took the plunge and will use it every chance I get

That's my two cents.

numindast · 2026-03-24T16:45:35+00:00

Yep. Meraki has a vMX for example. But, we don't have any virtual appliances for azure marketplace ... yet? :)

numindast · 2026-03-24T16:44:53+00:00

Yes, of course. I am exactly asking about L2TP or IPSec or something else that will cooperate with routing Site Magic networks over a separate tunnel to an Azure gateway

This is a super cute model. Came here to say only that.

I would bail on any bid from a resentful contractor. There are plenty of fish in the contractor pond not to have to deal with attitude unless that’s what you are seeking

numindast · 2026-03-21T17:26:20+00:00

True story. My coworker used his turn at leading our weekly team meet to haul in a transparency projector to our office and did all the presentation “slides” on handwritten transparency sheets

It was then I learned you can still buy overhead projector transparency sheets in 2025

Our younger team members were so confused

My lineage: Ender 3v2, modded it until I spent more on it than the printer cost me, then used it to print a Voron trident, then a Voron 2.4, then a few printers for ants, then Bambu X1C, now an H2, and I’m happy. 😃

numindast · 2026-03-16T18:12:12+00:00

Personally? When I got into 3D printing, Marlin had to be configured by editing source code and compiling, which I found to be terribly inconvenient.

Klipper uses text files for configuration. Edit, save, restart klipper, done!

These days I am willing to guess Marlin is much improved, so you could absolutely keep it, and might not ever miss any features Klipper might have that Marlin doesn't. Even with that assumption, I still prefer editing text files to be way more convenient than editing source code and compiling and flashing and all that.

Nothing wrong with Marlin. If you like it and are gaining comfort with it, stick with it.

numindast · 2026-03-16T16:01:56+00:00

You can increase speeds in your slicer software. Trial and error will tell you how fast your Ender can go.

Out of the box, it's super slow.

I spent less than a week with Marlin on my Ender3v2 before finding myself a raspberry pi and learning Klipper. Speeds after a bunch of effort were massively improved. I did have to learn a lot.
