Now if you are melting your 3d prints, make sure you flip it every 2.5 hours to get an even coating.

Shhhh you'd ruin my whole plan.

Though you are absolutely correct. I've made a universal base with replaceable arms (since that's what kept breaking on my wifes). All I need to do is fit the arms to the eReader and figgure out where the sleep magnet goes and bam, new eReader case.

Currently I've made cases for the Onyx Book Nova 3, Kobo Aura One, Kobo Nia, and Kobo Clara 2e. With plans to tackles anything I can easily get my hands on.

I think it depends on the usage. If the size/shape doesn't matter or is mated to metal, then PLA is more than fine in colder climates (i.e. not Texas), but as soon as the average temp of it's operating environment is within the Glass Temp range then PLA isn't good.

In your sprinkler's case, the water is chilling it bellow glass temp when operating.

I think if I was ever at that point. I’d just use injection moulding

Would love to print in ABS, but every time I tried the parts always warped. PETG is nicer and has very rarely warped on me.

30 minutes in the test, I saw a cat.

From my quick search you aren’t getting everything from under $150.

I got a USB C dock from Amazon under the name LASUNEY, but it’s not for sale any more. I’ve seen equivalent under a 15 in 1 naming that seems to exactly the same, just under a different name LIONWEI that’s around the $100 mark, 2 DP 1Gbps and many usb ports.

I believe resolution is determined by your machine’s chipset not the dock, but I could be mistaken.

Now I also found one that has 2.5Gbps networking but that’s $270 under the Plugable brand. Not a fan of the specs of that one since the power comes from a barrel Jack instead of usb c.

So far, replacement Stylus for DS and 3ds systems. Display stands for old portables and games.

Working on a case for eReaders, but needed to move from PLA to PETG. So I'm ironing out those kinks

Lol same here.

Bought a cheap printer and it worked, but I couldn't fix it.

Then I got another cheap printer that was bigger, but it was a fire hazard

Then I got a not as cheap printer, then it broke in the stupidest way possible

So I got a the Popular Cheap Printer, and it was good enough

But I needed a Prusa since I was now selling my parts, and it was good

Then I got a bigger prusa since the popular printer turned into a sunk cost fallacy.

What should've been a one time cost of $350 turned into multiple $350-500 printers until I started a business with it and spent $1000 to stop messing with it

I wouldn't consider Fedora or Opensuse TW better than Manjaro. Just trading one issue for another. Honestly I replaced my 1 year old Manjaro install (when I borked my DE) with Fedora.

Fedora lasted 1 month before the btfs filesystem broke and I lost all of my files with no way to recover. Ontop of the difficulty of adding community copr repos for features like XPadNeo, DNF being so slow that Discover would barley function, and being about 2 months behind software fixes for a specific graphic driver bug that prevented me from playing some UE4 game.
