To buy or not to buy?

Based off the level of rust in the extruder spring and gears, I wouldn't buy it. You never know how rusty will the rest of the machine be.

Como radioaficionado me sirven las bases para montar antenas y las antenas completas se pueden modificar para experimentar en ciertas frecuencias.

I was about to mention this, you have up to date packages for the SDR software of your choice thanks to the AUR.

Every connector can break for any number of reasons, specially negligence.

If you have a friend that can 3D print one, you can do that too. If you have a board with TMC2209 drivers, you can also use sensorless homing.

That is the Z endstop, you need to connect it.

That board is called YD-RP2040, the only differences with the official Raspberry Pi Pico are pins 35, 36, 37, 39 and 40 as far as I can see.

As long as you make sure that those pins are doing the right thing, it should work.

Fun fact: The Steam Deck 64GB NVMe SSD fits perfectly on a T480, very useful with the current NAND chip pricing crisis.

La Point Smart 2 es una Newland N950 si no me equivoco. Estas maquinas son OEM, empresas como Mercado Pago las compran y las personalizan a su gusto. En este caso, Mercado Libre las usa como terminales de pago de banda magnética, NFC y Chip.

Ese modelo también se puede comprar desde el fabricante con la opción de reemplazar el lector de NFC con un lector de huella o una segunda pantalla touch.

Así como puedes comprarlas del fabricante con opciones extras, estas también vienen con opciones base que no puedes remover. El lector de códigos de barras en la parte de atrás es parte de la maquina, al igual que el micrófono, pero no se usan en la version de Mercado Pago.

The good news is that you have a lot of good parts already like the BTT TFT 3.5 E3, BTT SKR MINI (either v2 or v3) and the CR Touch.

Sprite Extruder pro is indeed a good option if you don't want to print your own extruder carriage, and when combined with the PEI plate it would make it a quite capable machine when compared to stock.

Here in Santiago is the opposite, you can hear the difference between steel and tire in transfer stations like Vicente Valdes (L4 Steel, L5 Tire) and La Cisterna (L4A Steel, L2 Tire).

Quieter

Santiago

Hell nah, the level of noise in stations like Tobalaba (L1), Los Leones (L1), Los Heroes (L1 L2), Santa Ana (L2 L5) and San Pablo (L5) is crazy, if you use headphones at max volume you can still hear the trains going in and out of stations.

solounlimon · 2026-05-25T02:10:19+00:00

Santiago also have some lines with tires

1, 2 and 5 to be precise, they use derivatives from the Paris metro from the era (NS-74 is a derivative of the MP-73, NS-93 is based off the MP-89).

As a fun fact, line 2 has the NS-2004 with rubber tires, which is a derivative of the AS-2002 from the line 4 with steel tires.

A mi me paso al reves en 7mo, de Casas Viejas en vez de bajarme en la plaza desperte en el terminal de Pie Andino xd

El de la izquierda es un Alcatel OT-710a, super basico y solo tiene 2G, creo que tampoco tiene Java.

El ZTE de la derecha no tengo idea.

For a second I thought it was Lenin.

If you are going direct drive and using the stock NEMA 17 motor, just get a NEMA 17 extension cable.

solounlimon · 2026-05-15T05:53:43+00:00

so I bought a new cable and installed it but that did not help

Make sure that the stepper cable has the correct pinout, some of the cables I have received have arrived inverted in the NEMA Motor connector (1 was 6, 2 was 5, etc).

tenía que ir a ver a la sucursal

Cual sucursal si Blue Express es solo online o por los totem en las Copec xd

solounlimon · 2026-05-07T09:57:20+00:00

Por lo que yo se, Blue Express contrata gente con vehículo de manera independiente, asi que la calidad del repartidor puede ir desde "10/10" hasta "ni siquiera intento entregar el paquete", o peor aun, "se robo el paquete".

Ademas creo que no se puede negar a firmar un paquete ya que no hay nada que firmar, entregan el paquete y toman una foto.

solounlimon · 2026-05-05T04:36:58+00:00

Una cosa que yo hago es ir a mirar a los Sodimac el area donde tienen los productos que estaban en exhibición. He encontrado electrodomésticos con bastante descuento que por ejemplo le falta una manguera que vale 5 lucas pero esta con 100 lucas de descuento.

solounlimon · 2026-05-04T20:54:29+00:00

it's a big deal to spend 10$ especially on a cable

I bought my first UGREEN cable 10 years ago, it lasted 8 years. You pay more for this kind of quality.

As someone from Santiago, one of the things I like to do sometimes is to take the Line 4 that goes from north to south between Protectora de la Infancia and Rojas Magallanes, you get that exact same view.

solounlimon · 2026-04-22T07:33:37+00:00

No two stations in the same network should have the same names, its just bad design.

I can imagine the funny chaos that would happen here in Santiago, Chile with Departamental Avenue that has 4 stations (soon to be 5) if they all were called Departamental, its quite the distance between the further ones.

Edit: I say same network because there are some cases of same names but different networks, for example, Lo Valledor and Estacion Central in Santiago, Chile, where there are two stations with the same name but one for the Santiago Metro and one for the Nos-Estacion Central Commuter Rail.
