This weekend project is building another 3d-printed teleprompter

In this quick bite episode, I discuss my home lab, the concept of a home lab and what it entails to keep one running.

asking the hivemind for suggestions for 3d printers. Total noob with no particular application in mind other than maybe #3dprint replacement parts for stuff. I am more interested in the things I can print than the printer itself :)

It's important that no functionality is locked behind cloud services or subscriptions. So no #bambulabs I guess, especially after the OrcaSlicer debacle

Maybe a #prusa ? Or are they also enshittified? or a #creality ?

This was a fun build - but I'm hitting a block on how to use an android tablet as an external display from #macos AND FLIP IT horizontally (because it's mirrored in the telepromter glass)

I haven't quite found the right concoction of apps to achieve this yet, if anyone has had success...

Today's project - 3d printing a teleprompter jig. I plan to use this primarily for zoom/google meet/slack call windows, for better 'eye contact' during virtual meetings and presentations.

3D printing brings me joy. Building and running this tourbillion movement is really satisfying.

The detail on the frame is also just like 3mm thick, it barely made any waste on my frankenstein P1S #bambulabs #3dprinting

SnapFrames has had some really nice upgrades recently and this Totoro hueforge is just <3

The detail on the frame is neat. Good trick. Looks like birch even up close.

SnapFrames was a crowdsource project on maker space that evolved from a company that does 3d mapping to printer stuff. Nifty: https://www.snapframes.app/

Here’s the Totoro hueforge:

#bambulabs #3dprinting

I wish #bambulabs would hurry up and drop Bambu Studio with built-in filament management in it already. It's nice, but a pita on a smartphone. I know there's the public beta, but minor updates are corrupting the cloud-saved versions and I don't wannaaaaaa

#3dprinting

@jpmens Ye but that would break #bambulabs authentication 🙃

@geerlingguy @conservancy Fabulous. Comeuppance! #bambulabs are bad actors and are not getting a Christmas card from me this year.

The Software Freedom Conservancy is raising money to potentially sue Bambu Labs for AGPL license violations.

This (link below) appears to be @conservancy's (very careful) commentary on the ongoing #BambuLabs #GPL violation row.

It's an interesting read, and makes me wonder whether I should migrate my own projects from GPL to #AGPL3

I'll avoid the subtoot and just post a (somewhat) positive message:

#bambu #bambulabs are doing #enshittification at speed and on purpose. They define "community" as "people who gave us money, under our rules and control". We know that. The occasional reminder for #3dprinting is still good.

If you want to amplify that message, focus on the positive people such as #LouisRossmann: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1jhRqgHxEP8

That's it. That's the toot.

Me fascinan las #impresoras3d. No tengo una por tema de consumo eléctrico y por el material de impresión (plástico) y sus residuos.

Pero si uno ve videos de algunos usuarios, pronto se encuentra que unas cuantas compañias han creado este imperio apropiandosé de código y hardware abiertos y gratuitos.

Y pretenden cerrarlo a su antojo para seguir ganando dinero y ningunear a sus clientes.

Aquí un video sobre estas prácticas que afecta a Bambu Labs, una de las compañias de impresoras 3D mas conocidas y populares.

Solo por este intento monopolístico sobre un codigo con licencia #AGPL no compraría nada de ellos. 🤬

Louis Rossman se enfrenta a Bambu Labs por emprender acciones legales contra un desarrollador de código abierto. #impreesion3d

[email protected] - Louis Rossman takes on #BambuLabs for taking legal action on an open source developer - and holy shit, Louis, I was not familiar with your game!

The video is very much worth a watch but the last 4 minutes are actually amazing.

Louis details all of the other big tech and pharma companies that attempted the same thing with him and how he’s beat them.

Absolutely Trojan work.

Why are #bambulabs such a bunch of actuasl tools?? Shortly after buying my P1S they started closing their ecosystem but back paddled shortly after. Now they are going after an OSS dev? Yep, last #bambulab product for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eb48MdtNaDQ

I've a somewhat bad luck with picking a brand that is highly recommended, even if they cost more at times compared to the competition, and end up discovering they're shitty literally so soon after my purchase.

That happened with #Anker 's #Eufy, and it happened with #BambuLabs. For the latter, it seems that they're continuing their bullshit crusade against people freaking owning their #3Dprinters they paid for - including by hunting down #FOSS devs/projects that allow people to print stuffs on their printers without being spied on by Bambu Labs.

Seriously, fuck these brands and vote with your wallet. Also, if you've always been paranoid of American brands, don't forget to do so with Chinese brands too. You're a fool if you a think they're any better.

▶️ I'll put up $10,000 to teach bambu labs a lesson https://youtu.be/qLLVn6XT7v0

It's good to see a few trending reminders that #bambu #bambulabs are fundamentally untrustworthy.

I just wish that the most trending one didn't have an ethical position that can be fairly summarized as "3D printers should have more bodily autonomy than women"

Bambu Labs 3D-Drucker lokal und ohne Cloud betreiben, das geht jetzt deutlich besser mit dem Open Source Projekt Bambuddy! Läuft sogar auf einem RasPi.
