--- Quote from: eds1275 on October 03, 2023, 12:15:17 pm ---I have a big exciting win for myself, courtesy of 3d printing. Value Village! $7.99, a Sears Craftsman router table missing all accessories. I printed a plate that I can slide my small router (Milwaukee Fuel cordless) into, making it tool-less to add and remove. I printed a vacuum splitter so that my mini vacuum can attach to both the router dust port and the dust collector up top I printed, and some feet so that when I mount this to a board it will lock into my Packout tool boxes. --- End quote --- Nice. |

Always connected, forced cloud service usage? --- End quote --- I always imagine that 3D printer cloud servers are located at Chinese injection molding companies, where their motto is "Your prototype is our new product!" But that might just be paranoia talking. If something needs an unnecessary network connection for it to even work....No way, no how. That's not paranoia, just good sense. |

just throwing my hat in the ring... just bought an Ender 3 pro... it went on pretty cheap so I got it. after printing a few things to make it better/more reliable and adding a sheet of 1mm glass under the magnetic bed... it's pretty good and reliable to print with. gonna update the firmware so i can use mesh leveling, then i might be able to ditch the glass sheet. |

I also hard mounted the bed instead of using the adjustable spring mounts... since i was using a better leveling method than the original one point level there was no need for it. just as a side note, why is getting marlin firmware such a pain in the absolute ass? people talking about building their own firmware and having to download like 3 programs and modifying cfg files and editing code and removing remarks and adding remarks to take stuff out.... crap, like, I'm not new to computers and microcontrollers and stuff, but this is another level of ridiculous. is it so hard to have a bunch of the mainline 3d printer firmware just available for download? yeah if you roll your own 3d printer and need a custom deal then sure... download the main marlin package and modify all the stuff and build your own... that is expected... but crealty, elgoo, prusa? the bigger names out there? all have to deal with this? man. i can see how people brick their stuff if they aren't careful. |
