I probably won’t be going for commercial use, just hobby stuff mainly. It would be neat to do some nylon stuff but that’s probably as crazy as I’d get.

But yes, ideally my budget is $450-1200 (wide I know, but I’d like to explore my options).

Do you know how well the auto leveling works?

Crontab to just auto reboot daily is probably better - if your PC becomes unresponsive I doubt it would be able to execute another script on top of everything. Ideally though, you’d do some log diving and figure out the cause.

What does your mount look like for that nozzle cam?

I got a NUC on ebay for about the same price, maybe a little less. Has more I/O and an SSD.

That was the best part, it was like no humans were in the building for a bit there.

That’s likely because your Macs are using the TPM. Does your Linux machine have a TPM, and are you using it?

If you’re having it automatically unlock the drive at boot, it kind of defeats the purpose. If someone steals your tower, they can boot it and copy the unencrypted contents since it automatically unlocks.

Imagine having a King in 2024

The problem is exactly that you can’t wash it. Prints have dips, bumps, and gaps, especially at the microscopic level. The perfect place for bacteria to find a home. Resin would be one thing, but filament can’t be made safe, not for food, and definitely not for medicine that goes into your lungs.

I have a different electric truck with 21" tires, and it does fine in the snow. It even has a snow mode. The weight might make it even better than some pickups.

This is the tires or something else with the design, for sure.

Friends don’t let friends use Snap.

These aren’t for the small disposable drones. They’re for other missles and large aircraft. For the missles in particular, you should also factor in the potential cost of the damage they’ll cause if not intercepted.

Bold to connect something like that to the internet.

The main issue I see with that is uneven curing. Since the UV is only on the bottom, it would only cure where the UV can hit it. I suppose it might be possible if you manually turned the print to cure every angle, but I imagine this still wouldn’t cure evenly.

Is that for sure now? I hear rumors but haven’t seen anything concrete.

Almost took out the spotter drone!
