  1. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Doing a dozens of things in the new house, and noticed a couple of under-cabinet lights at the kitchen-area desk. (happy to have that space!).

    The lights are cheap battery-powered things – no way am I going to plug eight batteries into them every month or two, so was going to junk them…

    Realized tho I have lots of old wall-wart power supplies – easy to find a 6V one and hack the lights to be hard-wired. We'll try that for a while to keep them out of the recycle bin.

  8. I'm retiring a 10yr old LG phone that serves as desktop cam for documentation on hardware projects.

    A recent 5yr old Moto phone was just set up to take over that role yesterday. I've wiped the older LG, and will recycle it.

    The old Moto battery is really doing poorly, but a replacement is coming, and it works fine on USB pwr, so here we go with that #hardwareHack thread.

  9. Going to grab myself a cuppa tea, and toot this little #maker project/ #hardwareHack for your enjoyment.

    You can almost smell the soldering iron.

  10. Once again trying to reuse/recycle rather than buying in more junk:

    I'm looking for a small display with composite input. Preferably 7" or under, CRT or LCD. Melbourne area.

    I know I could just pick up a chintzy reversing camera kit from fleabay or ali, but I'm trying to keep the ewaste down where possible.

    Happy to pay fair coin and/or postage or meet in a pub to settle debts in liquid form. Or barter, of course.

    Damaged casing isn't a problem as I'm likely to print a replacement anyway.

  11. Pressure Mat + Aquara „Leak Sensor“ (with possibility to attach external „leakage rods“ = IoT Scene for „going to bed“ or „sit down on couch / chair“ or „something that triggers when weight gets applied“ 😎 Works like a charm - straight into my ioBroker via MQTT 🙏🏻🥳 #SmartHome #SmartScenes #HardwareHack #Zigbee

  12. Came up with a list of all the potential #modifications I may do to my #guitar #amplifier.

    Discussion at:
    thegearpage.net/board/index.ph

    Itemized list:
    listography.com/GothFvck/instr

    If anyone knows about #electrical work and #speaker #wiring especially, that's probably what I need the most input on.

    Might reroute some things to an #effectspedal, too as the one it came with is just a basic on/off #footswitch.

    Thanks in advance.

  13. Finally got around to beginning to mod my switch yesterday. I'm hoping I can get it done to be able to go to Halifax with it.
