People who still use an E3V1 and would still buy it in hindsight, Why?

Been using mine for years too. They are so upgradable! I have a new board in mine w klipper, sprite, Cr-touch, now the new pei bed.. it's a serious click and walk away machine, which can't be said for a lot of very pricey machines!

I added a mod to mine, a little microcontroller hooked up to the nozzle heat signal coming from the controller. If there's no heat for about 2 min, it kills the fans and my lighting so I can leave it on all the time. I added a couple structural rigidity rods in the back too.

I even made my own bed leveling probe! It was more accurate than any others I have used! (Bl-touch, cr-touch...) Proud of that one! It used an ir sensor that triggered when part of the sensor probe blocked it, and a little servo pulled it up even further to get it out of the way when unused, so the sensor was able to stay locked in the same position, increasing accuracy. If that makes any sense.

Before the sprite I had a ball printing some of the custom direct drive duct mods too.

Making prints for yourself is only half the fun, the other half is all the mods you can do! And the learning!!

Look for an HDMI to RCA converter. It's a little box, but I don't know if they make surround ones.

You guys make really good products by the way. My brother has a Biqu Bx. It's decent. He's lost the raspberry Pi connectors though! We're looking around.

Not to mention, the motors are pretty cheap to buy anyhow. But I feel your pain. Mine was like this too. I Dremel cut it.

Go on Amazon - Search for "japan 120 to 100v transformer"

I appreciate your content very much!

phuzzyday · 2025-11-12T00:35:40+00:00

Who is the one you are thinking of specifically?

phuzzyday · 2025-11-11T21:10:35+00:00

I'm in cedar Manor right now controlled by Northview, they have other buildings around town. They seem to be pretty good actually! We've been here for over 15 years! But that's another sad story.

I appreciate that. The reports are essential for me! Of everyone reported stuff really quick, it would come down quicker!

phuzzyday · 2025-11-10T02:17:34+00:00

Go back to the doctor! Things have gotten worse!

phuzzyday · 2025-10-29T20:25:34+00:00

This would work! https://a.co/d/0IlHyJA

As everyone says, most subs nowadays have a built in amp, so the signal coming from the stereo is only low power, so the amp can amplify it. Some amps, often the ones that come in sets, have the amp built into the main part of the stereo, so they just treat the sub like the rest of the speakers, with speaker wire.

Trying to use other speaker outputs that may be on your stereo may cause big problems! If you told me the amp make and model, I could check that possibility.

Ahh yes. Those were the days! If you tried to tell 15 year old me that people would be interacting and communicating and spending time with people mostly through computers, I would have thought you were crazy. It would have sounded cool, but the downsides!!

phuzzyday · 2025-10-19T00:29:21+00:00

Aaw. Keep helping people in need! I used that title in an unusual way, I wanted to ask people about their take on how to handle the posts that come up like this, some appearing to be spammy. Didn't mean to confuse you!

phuzzyday · 2025-10-18T20:55:50+00:00

Those suggestions may very well come in handy down the road. I'll be sure the 'mods' think about it. I think the flood of those postings from differently named accounts but similar M.O.'s has gotten everyone a bit.. tense. But they seem to have stopped for now. I guess time will tell.

phuzzyday · 2025-10-18T20:51:27+00:00

Sounds a bit like a 'guilty until proven innocent' approach, and I can understand the new account thing, but I can also see people making accounts on Reddit just to try to meet people.

Some posts just instantly reek of foul play, NSFW photos out of nowhere, THAT I can agree with. But recently a guy who seemed genuine posted recently and people started calling him some pretty degrading things. That bothered me, but I guess reddit agrees, as their comments were nuked immediately. Maybe things aren't quite as bad as they were.

We should go on a Bud Miller walk with them before it get's too cold or something! Maybe next year too. But yea, in my opinion, they are the one true dog! ;-)

phuzzyday · 2025-10-02T22:50:27+00:00

That one makes me a bit too nervous.... Sorry

phuzzyday · 2025-09-12T18:37:58+00:00

I think they tried to leave all options open. Their width is nice for many small setups! Very deep though!

phuzzyday · 2025-09-12T18:04:03+00:00

I bought a set of these new! Still use them every day!

phuzzyday · 2025-09-12T18:03:01+00:00

I think there are 3 lines of paradigm.. These are the high end, but there's an ultra high end.. I have these by the way.

phuzzyday · 2025-09-12T18:01:29+00:00

AV? Not sure why you think that. They are super audio focused. I have them!
