  • Reject TV. Return to monitor. Yeah monitors don’t come in the same sizes as TVs, but if you just want something that shows you whatever you feed its video ports without any bloat than a monitor works great.

  • Nothing pops a vein quite like companies acting like a one-time expense should be a monthly fee. Paying monthly for heated seats in certain cars is where I first heard of this. They already put the hardware in the car. I guarantee they already charged you for the parts and labor to put in those heated seats when you bought the vehicle. No way they're losing money on it in the hopes you start paying them.

    But I'll get off my owner's rights soapbox now.

  • I'll have to try that smart plug idea. I have some heavy duty Z-wave plugs I used for Christmas decorations last year and that would work great for the fridge.

  • For those who are saying I shouldn't have bought these half-baked smart appliances, I agree. But I wasn't always this aware of the privacy issues involved. The washer and dryer were purchased before I grasped how problematic cloud-connected always online IoT devices are, and as mentioned in the OP the ability to tell me when my laundry was done seemed like a genuinely useful feature. In the case of the fridge it was an emergency replacement and we took what fit the preexisting niche in our kitchen, and the complete lack of output on the fridge itself necessitated the app.

  • Choosing my first printer is driving me mad.

    Jump

  • Background: I just got my first printer (Bambu Lab A1 mini) last year. I am also not an engineer and, like you, don't want the printer itself to be the hobby.

    Based on my experience, and what I've seen others say online, Bambu Lab is still the king of "it just works". If you're not as ideologically motivated by right to own as I am, I'd say go with Bambu.

    While I have zero experience with the company, Prusa seems to be the most consumer friendly, though they have their own issues. If I buy a second printer, it's likely going to be the Prusa Core One.

    Is there no good inexpensive CAD software?

  • Seriously? QRP Labs QMX+ 160-6m

    Jump

  • I bought a KX3 as a reward for completing a very difficult certification. I earned that $2500 radio, but dang if I'm not scared to actually take it anywhere because it feels so fragile for how expensive it is. I included the battery compartment when kitting it out, but ended up removing the batteries and relying on an external LiFPO battery because I didn't like cracking the radio open like a clam every time I needed to change them.

    Something like this would make a whole lot more sense for my QRP needs. It's far, far cheaper and looks a bit more sturdy.

  • Thanks. Not sure if this is what you meant. The shape is distinct but the colors are similar. My avatar is from a worldbuilding project I work on as a hobby.

  • I'm definitely an "it just works" guy, and I am by no means an engineer. For me the printing is the hobby, not the printer.

    Multimaterial would be good, but only if it doesn't have to purge between colors. I bought the AMS lite along with the mini, and while it's convenient when I want to print something in a different color, only having one nozzle means a truly multi-color print takes orders of magnitude longer to finish unless the print itself is completely designed around the limitations of the single-nozzle setup. Having said that, if the MMS can also act as dry storage that would be a plus even if I primarily use one filament per print.

    It's less about specific build volume and more what I can fit into the existing space while providing more build volume than the Mini's 7x7x7 inches. I'd say the overall footprint of the printer has to be less than 60 cm on a side, since the table my current printer is on is 60 cm deep.

    Enclosure is also a must-have.

  • Upgrading from Bambu Lab A1 Mini

    Jump

  • I was going to say about 10x10x10 inches, but after recalculating the dimensions of the latest thing I'm making (a pill bottle organizer) I may be able to squeeze it onto the mini, so the thing that prompted this post may be a non issue, at least for now. Continued suggestions are welcome though.

  • What exactly does the mini do that makes it worth keeping if I get a larger printer? I'm not sure I can justify owning more than one.
