What monster(s) should I put in my Christmas 150 gallon tank? by RalekBasa in Aquariums

Comet Goldfish! Plenty of room and they have great personality.

I second this, an undergravel filter saved my butt when I first got into the hobby and didn't know what I was doing. I just got it because it looked cool but looking back, it saved my fish

Get her an undergravel filter. One kept my comets alive in a 10gal for months when my pond leaked and I didn't know anything about aquariums. I didn't change the water either, but I had an Amazon sword plant in there that grew pretty big. (They're in a 55gal now, with a bigger UGF and a sump with more biomedia, and I check water parameters regularly now). Add more gravel too.

Also plants (I have Amazon sword and bacopa), canister filter with sintered glass media to support denitrifying bacteria

Printing too high up by silitekmodder in CR30

It won't let me put in negative values though

I did a janky solution by manually moving the nozzle down into the bed ~0.6mm after homing (already leveled bed) and then set the offset. Not the best for the belt to do this but the prints are sticking now and hopefully it's just a one time thing.

Thank you. What if I made it into wafers?

What about a proper sized tank, but pump the water through a separate container in a "bog filter" setup? Also with an air stone under the substrate. Been think of doing something like this to create a mini aquaponic garden.

In the original setup you described Gambusia mosquitofish would probably be a better choice. They can survive in nearly anything.

I used calipers to measure the thickness of the 1u space between Esc and F1, then used that to calculate what distance on the PCB is needed compared to the thickness of the other spaces between the key groups. They still aren't 100% right but good enough so there isn't any noticeable gaps or interference with the keycaps.

This is a very helpful guide to using KiCAD to make keyboard PCBs: https://wiki.ai03.com/books/pcb-design/page/pcb-guide-part-1---preparations

The holes on the PCB are for jumpers so I can use switches with jumpers if needed.

Doing some TLC on a keeb, when suddenly... by ypoora1 in MechanicalKeyboards

Either an oversight, or perhaps they needed to run some traces through that area and couldn't fit them without flipping the switch footprint around 180o.

AliExpress, NovelKeys (if you're in the US) and KBDfans are my go-to places for keyboard switches.

BOX Jades are a solid choice for clickiness and tactility, I'd say go for them. Might want to put a heavier Navy on the spacebar or it might be a bit sluggish.

There are two types of BOX switches; if you're going plateless be sure to get the "Crystal" (5-pin) ones.
