Only use jellyfin. Have a list of things want to update… but it works for now.
Yes that is a laptop usb cooler used as supplemental placebo cooling. Also a pc fan I have propped up against the hard drive feeding into the pi.
Can’t recall last time used the ps4 or switch. But they’re there
Using phones with a continuous power supply might do nasty things to the battery.
Source: I finally figured out how to open a glass back phone with no tools.
For what its worth, some Samsung phones can stop charging while the plug is in, while also not disconnecting anything on a USB dock (such as internet)
Wait I see EMT piping for that printer frame… Did you convert an Anet A8 to an “EMT-8” like I did!? :D
Just seemed like a neat coincidence!
The stock A8 was such a scary fire hazard lol.
Yup you’re indeed seeing an EMT8 :D. This thing’s got a SKR mini e3 V3, E3D v6 clone and an E3D titan clone. I have a post about it in my profile.
I bet there are dozens of us EMT8 owners! Dozens!
That’s so cool! Nice work! I feel a certain kinship with anyone who also got tons of 3D printing XP by building, rebuilding, researching, modding, head-scratching, laughing, crying, screaming at an A8 lol.
This here is mostly fire prevention: Basically an updated stock motherboard, better PSU, an aftermarket MOSFET board for safety, thicker gauge wires with ferrule crimps for all the power cables, the bed is now attached directly to the thicker wires by way of crimp connectors.
The printing surface is upgraded to carefully cut and polished picture frame float glass. 😂
Added that sweet fan duct mod, a little Noctua 15mm (because it softened and jammed otherwise LOL), and printed that purple bracket at the library because the plastic decided to literally crumble away.
Also the adjustable Z-stop was nice but the PLA softened so it’s a bit unpredictable, and the right motor will gently slip until it’s engaged so the gantry needs to be leveled every time…I also can’t guarantee that the Z rods are straight anymore because it requires such a Goldilocks level of tension I probably overdid it lol.
Oh yeah, I had to replace the main power cable because the one provided just…had a break in it.
It still works for small jobs though! And it printed all those parts for itself, so that’s kinda the RepRap dream right there right??
Lol I feel like an amazing machine is in here somewhere if I bothered to research custom boards and stuff. The stock bearings are also terrible. But if I can bother someday I’ll stick Klipper on it maybe.
It was a crazy, stressful journey…but I learned a ton of electronics stuff, and how to use a multimeter, and engineering stuff! XD
My Ender3V2’s felt like such a crazy luxury by comparison. 😂
Yeah I thought this thing was pretty decent, way better than originally, but then I got to use a Prusa MK4 at school…
