I use a Prusa MK3 (not MK3S/+) that I got in 2018. Later this year I hope to get an MK4 to join it, and maybe a Voron 2.4 for big prints. My first printer was a SeeMeCNC Rostock MAX from 2013. Its controller board died for the second time just before I got the MK3, and I never fixed it.

Crusty geek. Retired software developer, aspiring musician. Used Unix way before it was cool.
Once I built a pumpkin chucker. Another time, I built an LED cube.
Interests: 3D printing and making in general, synths (playing and making them), learning the bass guitar (rock, jazz, funk), FPGAs and electronics, pinball. I spent 40+ years obsessively coding and studying computing, but that interest has finally cooled.
On Mastodon, I am @kbob.

Merci Argonaute! 😝
I need to make one of these for my Scarlett 2i2. I like your design.
3·1 year agoWe usually start big purchases like that by reading The Wirecutter. We don’t always buy what they recommend, but they’ll suggest some criteria that we may or may not feel are important and review a number of products. When the Internet is a swamp of reviews-for-pay and SEO non-reviews, Wirecutter has the advantage that they actually evaluate products.
As for vacuums, we bought a Dyson V15 a few months ago. It’s big, which makes it inconvenient both to operate and to store, but it sucks mightily (in a good way). We haven’t used the plug-in canister vacuum at all for a couple of years now.
Our older Dyson, a V6, has new batteries and has recently been cleaned, and is relegated to bedroom cleaning. It doesn’t suck nearly as well.
0·1 year agoOur house has oil heat, as do most in this area. (New York state, US) When we started shopping for a geothermal installer, we were surprised to find that our oil supplier also does geothermal. I guess their attitude is, “We’re losing a customer anyway, may as well get one more big payment as they leave.”
We’re in the middle of the geothermal install now, and expect it to be done before cold weather arrives. (We did not go with the oil supplier.)
It’s funny how many people have redesigned Gridfinity. This looks like a solid improvement in a few areas. If you make it, let us know how it goes.
The 4040 adapters ought to have magnets, though, IMO.
