I'm so annoyed at the #BambuLabs situation. My #X1C is a phenomenal machine, but I simply cannot support the company after they bait-and-switched on us and locked down the firmware the way they did.

This is why we can't have nice things. #3DPrinting

I recently (a few weeks ago) finished putting the latest version of my Dactyl Lynx #keyboard together, using my Snowshoe MX single-switch PCBs, and I'm incredibly happy with the results!

Moment of Gratitude: CloudFlare

CloudFlare saved the Internet Archive servers from DDOS attack yesterday

The max rate of this DDOS attack was 525 Gbps (44.93 Mpps) of a "TCP flood."

The Internet Archive does not have enough bandwidth to fend off that kind of attack.

Thank you #cloudflare or we would have had a very bad Saturday at the @internetarchive

DDOS attacks are coming more frequently.

its alive! will prolly go into detail on this build sometime soon!

its fully made from #FreeCAD #3DPrinting parts, e-waste and cheap #Arm64 computers

i had some more posts in this thread, but auto delete ate them 😫

ill try and do a #video on it sometime in the future, so please follow me and stay tuned ✨

My family can't always tell when I'm in a meeting in my home office, so my son designed and printed a two-sided sign as a Father's Day present, so I can let them know when it's safe to come in my office during the day.

Upgraded my #3dprinted 7-segment clock using translucent #prusa PETG (previously using white PLA). Now it lets a LOT more light through which unfortunately means we have some hotspots where the LEDs are, but in person it looks kinda like a Nixie display! Definitely much clearer and easier to read.
