Not so standard anymore Voxelab Aquila

Not so standard anymore Voxelab Aquila - Lemmy.World

I thought it might be interesting for anyone planning to upgrade their standard Voxelab Aquila to see what I did to mine. Print quality increased much, even though there are printers that are even better (of course). I got this one back when it was on sale at amazon for around 150€. I wasn’t planning on getting a 3D printer and had absolutely no idea what rabbit hole I am going to fall into. I just got a bonus at work at that time and thought „why not“. Since then I thought about upgrading to a better printer a few times, but as I became father two times in the last two years I always decided on saving the money and just go with some improvements for my Aquila. So over time it transformed into what you can see here. I will try to list all of the upgrades, but I might forget some. So if you have any questions, feel free to ask. Upgrades: - DirectDrive Creality Offiziell Sprite Direct Drive Extruder SE für Ender 3/Ender 3 V2/Ender 3 Pro/Ender 5/Ender 5 Pro/CR-10, Edelstahl Dual Gear Upgrade Ender 3 Extruder, Unterstützt die Meisten Hotend https://amzn.eu/d/1lhH7JU [https://amzn.eu/d/1lhH7JU] - Ender 3 Pully Backplate with official Ender 3 Hotend Kit (got this one as I had some serious trouble with my Hotend not extruding anymore as filament got stuck.

Need help setting up my filament runout sensor on my Voxelab Aquila running Alex firmware

https://lemmy.world/post/4569238

Need help setting up my filament runout sensor on my Voxelab Aquila running Alex firmware - Lemmy.world

As title says. I got myself a filament runout sensor, wired it, designed and printed a holder for it and now I am experiencing some issues. I hope someone here can help me. At first, the sensor is doing its job and seems to be working as it should. Printing is possible, but only with extra steps I would like to avoid. I use this sensor: Creality Offiziell Filament Runout Sensor Kit Ender 3 Filament Erkennung Modul Detektor Gerät Original Pausen Erkennungs Monitor für Ender 3Pro, Ender 3 V2 mit 32 Bit V4.2.2/V4.2.7 Motherboard https://amzn.eu/d/3aR6o2e [https://amzn.eu/d/3aR6o2e] I am using it on my standard Voxelab Aquila running Alex firmware. Slicing in Astroprint and managing over Octoprint on a raspberry pi. The problem: The runout sensor sends a false positive right after starting a print. It draws the first line on the printbeds side and then stops telling me the filament ran out. It then proceeds to unload the filament and asks me to change it. I then re-insert the „new“ filament, it extrudes a load and then prints just fine. So as you have possibly guessed right, I want it to print right away, just stopping the print, if there really is some jamming or no more filament left. Does someone know if I have to adjust the start commands or something like that? It seems to be a software problem. Thanks in advance for any help!

I recently upgraded my beloved iPod and just had to make and print some accessories for it. - Lemmy.world

So as title says I revived my beloved iPod, upgraded its storage and also modeled and printed some accessories for my iPod. I made a TPU case, a dock using the original cable and a storage box. Everything is available for free on my printables: https://www.printables.com/de/@Gorroth1007/models [https://www.printables.com/de/@Gorroth1007/models] Link to my first post (including whole storage upgrade process): https://lemmy.world/post/3243217 [https://lemmy.world/post/3243217] Here are some additional pictures: [https://i.imgur.com/ylselna.jpg] [https://i.imgur.com/yceiZOz.jpg] [https://i.imgur.com/pHy3xRo.jpg] [https://i.imgur.com/pIh52vm.jpg] [https://i.imgur.com/HYGnWRn.jpg]

Revived my beloved iPod Classic Gen5 30GB with a 64GB SD Card

https://lemmy.world/post/3243217

Revived my beloved iPod Classic Gen5 30GB with a 64GB SD Card - Lemmy.world

In the last years I read already a few times about the iPod now being super upgradable to an SSD or micro SD nearly as big as you want. Source: https://hackaday.com/2022/02/16/classic-ipods-are-super-upgradeable-in-2022/ [https://hackaday.com/2022/02/16/classic-ipods-are-super-upgradeable-in-2022/] So I looked up the parts already a while ago on Amazon, but they were pretty expensive, so I decided to wait or don’t do it. But a few weeks ago I saw one part being available on AliExpress, so I instantly looked up the other parts and ordered (round about 30€). See below for part links (just for example). Last week all parts arrived and I started my project and put everything together. If you also want to do that, here is a link on how to dis-/assemble the iPod: https://de.ifixit.com/Anleitung/iPod+5.+Generation+(Video)+HDD+durch+CF+oder+SDHC-SDXC+Speicher+ersetzen/7492 [https://de.ifixit.com/Anleitung/iPod+5.+Generation+(Video)+HDD+durch+CF+oder+SDHC-SDXC+Speicher+ersetzen/7492] As I wanted to minimize the risk for shorts and loose parts inside, I 3D-printed two thin layers of TPU to place between adapter and backplate and between adapter and board. [https://i.imgur.com/nJZqJr9.jpg] [https://i.imgur.com/jAZYpDC.jpg] I then assembled everything (without closing the case!) and restored the iPod using my old MacBook (2013 - running macOS BigSur). I restored the partition in finder and then restored the iPod with Apple Music. Tried with windows first, but couldn’t get it to work. Works like a new one now! Definitely recommend if you have one laying around.

Designed and printed some holders for old lights to mount under my kitchen cabinets

https://lemmy.world/post/3051362

Designed and printed some holders for old lights to mount under my kitchen cabinets - Lemmy.world

Was gifted some old lights that were designed to be stuck into holes in wood. Didn’t want to drill holes that big into my kitchen cabinets, so I designed and printed these holders that can be screwed to the cabinets and hold the lights. Also the lights are surrounded by it, so they don’t glare. Here are the results: [https://i.imgur.com/2WWkrhA.jpg] Combined it with two smart plugs, one that’s connected directly to the lights and one that sits in the socket right under the light switch. The one under the light switch is configured with a „scene“, that means if I press the little button on it, the plug connected to the lights will turn on, allowing me to use it as physical remote switch, while still being able to use the socket.
