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.

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.

I use my printer as part of larger projects. Furniture gets new legs. Kitchen gets new spice rack. Appliances get small repairs or mods. TV gets soundbar attached. Desk gets hook for headphones. That kind of stuff. It’s all one-of-a-kind and of no use to anybody else, but extremely satisfying to model, print, and use.
(I had a bunch of photos on Twitter. Can’t link now, might copy to the Fediverse later.)
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.
