I've assembled the parts to do a major upgrade on my old Ender 3pro 3D printer. I've got a touch-screen display, a 32 bit main board, a BL Touch auto-bed-leveling kit, metal extruder (never had any problems with the stock one, but while I'm tearing it apart, why not?) and an official lighting kit.
I almost certainly would have been better off buying a new printer (and I may yet) but I learn more by working on this one, and that's part of the fun.

My shipping difficulties of last week were fortuitous, as I found an alternative product for less money that worked for my application, received it in two days and altered it to work for me.

Could write up a Hackaday.io or instructables post perhaps, but prob won't find the time.

My TLDR summary is I employed a solar-charged light for our dark/dank shed, overcoming a few 'features' of most products which don't fit my use case.

I redid the magnetic ring on my Mobi this morning, using far better tools and less half-assing. It’s not perfect, but there’s no longer sharp bits sticking off of it. And it looks ok.

Still magnetizes to the charging pad and charges. (not the Tandem one obviously)

Might have to repeat this when it’s time to remove the decal though.
