  • I’ve had some luck with attaching silicone pie mat to prints that I wanted to have a grippy surface.

    Downside is it picks up any grime, dust, dirt easily. No biggie when you throw a silicone mat in the dishwasher, more of an issue when you can’t do the same with something 3d printed.

    Another consideration could be large furniture non slip pads. Something made for putting on the feet of a couch/sofa for example, cut to size?









  • There’s a psychological stress with work that can take some time to slough off.

    Some people don’t want to log out of work and be grumpy or distracted during family time.

    That being said having a process or system as a habit to denote work/home is a good alternative.

    A 10 minute walk, a change of clothes, or some song you play, anything that creates a mental delineation. So the annoyance from that way too long meeting asking why something isn’t done (4 hours a day giving out status updates isn’t helping) doesn’t come out on the family.


  • Another thing to consider is making a data only USB ( I use a sliver of electrical tape over the 5v+ line ) to stop any power draw between the usb port and the printer.

    And, of course, check that you have a good power brick since shoddy ones always cause issues with pis.

    To be honest sounds like you’ve got a gremlin jumping from one piece of equipment to another so maybe prayer, voodoo, holy water and or appeals to the deity of universal fundamental force of your choosing could help too.


  • It took a bit to get used to because the mindset is different but once it’s going it’s great.

    I love that I can make config changes easily without having to compile firmware.

    If you ever decide to take the plunge feel free to reach out since I did it with my ender 3v2 years ago. Not that it looks anything like the stock anymore.

    Looks like somebody else already has the config working for it and a step by step guide for setting it up on your machine

    One thing to note is you don’t have access to the display anymore since the display on the ender 3 is proprietary. You use a web panel (I often use my phone for this with mainsail as my ui of choice)

    That being said there are other displays that can work with it but I seldom use my display for anything anymore.







  • I’ve used it for releasing an iPad screen adhesive as well as for warming cinnamon rolls so they’ll rise when our oven was in use.

    Totally had the food wrapped with Saran Wrap all around and had something between the plate and the glass pan. To make sure nothing that wasn’t safe for food prep didn’t touch it and to stop from “cooking” the bottom by accident.
