Small house, I use zigbee directly with the zbt1 and it’s great

I know some people really love home assistant, but not thaaaat much!

Just as satisfying when you print something with several parts and the tolerance is right first time. You hear all about people printing several prototype parts to dial in the design. Nothing to make you feel like a design king by first print mic drop.

We all know who his boss is

Geez, you’ve eaten so many chemicals, that’s all you are made up of now

Ooh, love a good gulf livery. Would be awesome to see them bring back a martini livery for a race next year if the merc engines nail the regs change again, and they get a season like 2014 when they ended up 3rd in the constructors

Your best hope for storage is it not getting much wetter, ziploc bags with silica are fine, a tub is easier to paw through and grab what you need quickly.

A drier will actually refresh a roll and get it printing close to new again. Look for excess stringing for the early signs, and the filament bubbling and/or popping as it comes out of the nozzle for extreme signs of wetness.

I’m in a fairly dry environment, I’ll happily leave a roll on the printer for a week without adverse effects. But always store an opened roll off the printer in the tub.

Store filament in a big plastic tub with a kg of colour change silica. But yes a filament dryer is a good investment too. Just a single roll one will do.

Yeah the 8266 is cheaper but very limited in ram and only does 2.4ghz WiFi

Pity I’m terrible at using it. I’m going to have to look up some tutorials. I ended up chomping off the pcb around the headers

It’s also nice to use up some of the older boards in my stash. Living in New Zealand I tend to keep a decent supply of parts as they are always time consuming to get. I’ve got a few too many 8266’s left still!

Yeah that was my original plan, I’ve got a handful of the tiny seed ones. But the Esphome easy setup for the Bluetooth repeater doesn’t support the c3 or anything newer. https://esphome.io/projects/ turns out the length of the esp32 I had matches perfectly the length of the wemo board I ripped out too, so fitted just fine.

What should we call our service so people are clear it’s free of American influence… Hmmm ‘America On Line’

Hooooooly. I saw the onboard, Lawson had to change down and open the steering to avoid them. He then came on the radio later in the lap realising he could have killed them

Saw him in New Zealand this year on his tour. He played an epic long set

When a daddy senior dev op and a mummy senior dev op love each other very much…

I pretty much stopped remembering my dreams after some serious surgery when I was younger. I put it down to the 12+ hours of anesthetic. I occasionally remember that I had dreamt when I wake up in a weird mood. But no idea what the dream was about.
