Well that’s one way to plug your memory leaks

Good idea! Unfortunately this chip doesn’t have a 5G radio 😭

I mean all the components have a purpose, none are just there for decoration

There is an RGB led in the lower right, so yes if you program it to! I didn’t make provisions for battery power on this one though

The board house fabricated it for me in this shape so no cutting necessary :) But the more direct answer to your question is they use a CNC router to get the outline.

It’s kind of like a microprocessor development board—there are a few different circuits to play with that are connected to the processor. So ultimately it won’t do anything unless you stick some code inside

- Comment on too hot? too cold? 10 months ago:
Does that top surface feel ridged? To me this looks more like an issue with either overextrusion or z offset too low than temperature.
- Comment on Upgrading from Cura 4.12 to 5.6 no longer heats extruders or bed 10 months ago:
The way that the heaters turn on and off is by using a gcode command. So my first thought is that somehow the new slicing profile is not spitting out those commands. Try comparing the generated gcode from slicing the same model in both versions and see what’s different. The temperature commands have to be at the start so should be easy to find. The gcode commands themselves are very googleable.

INT. KLINGON QUARTERS - DAY
Gowron, the fierce Klingon leader, stands before an easel with a paintbrush in hand. Worf, the stoic Klingon warrior, reluctantly joins him.
GOWRON (roaring) Today, Worf! We paint the glory of battle, the splatter of blood on our blades!
Worf scowls but follows Gowron’s lead, dipping his brush into the vibrant red paint.
GOWRON (CONT’D) (roaring) Now, Worf, let the brush roar like a disruptor, leaving chaos in its wake!
Worf hesitates, then starts applying the paint with a fierce stroke.
GOWRON (CONT’D) (roaring) Excellent! Let the canvas be a battleground, where each stroke is a strike against our enemies!
Gowron continues with his Klingon interpretation of Bob Ross’s techniques, creating a chaotic masterpiece. Worf struggles to keep up.
WORF (grumbling) This is not the way of warriors, Gowron. We do not paint. We conquer!
GOWRON (roaring with laughter) But, Worf! Conquer your canvas, let the colors scream like a victorious war cry!
Worf grumbles, attempting to make his battlefield scene more ferocious.
GOWRON (CONT’D) (roaring) Remember, Worf! Each brushstroke is like the roar of a targ, wild and untamed!
Worf, frustrated, accidentally smears paint across his forehead while brushing his hair back. Gowron bursts into laughter.
GOWRON (CONT’D) (roaring with laughter) See, Worf? Even the mishaps become battle scars on the canvas!
Worf glares at Gowron, the painting resembling a chaotic battle scene mixed with unintentional comic elements.
WORF (displeased) This is not the Klingon way, Gowron.
GOWRON (grinning) (roaring) Ah, but Worf! Sometimes, the true warrior finds honor in unexpected places. Art knows no limits!

Sweet! I need one of those too. Do these use vacuum or blow air?
- Comment on Let me just move this project to the "unfinished" folder 11 months ago:
I did something similar. I would get about as far as writing the interesting mechanic/game logic and then give up.
- Comment on Which slicer do you use 11 months ago:
Another vote for prusa here. The recently added organic supports are really awesome. It’s enabled me to print some things I previously would not have attempted.

- Comment on Absolute beginner with questions 11 months ago:
Before you go the octoprint or other hosted app route, I humbly suggest printing from the SD card while you learn the process engineering to get prints to come out decent. This reduces the number of things you have to learn at once, and the points of failure. The workflow is then simply: (1) acquire or design the model (STL file). (2) slice it (generate .gcode file) and copy to sd card. (3) use the touchscreen to run the gcode file.
You’ll spend most of your fiddling on step 2 since you need to learn what temperatures and speeds work well.

Yeah seriously. The day news of this broke, I switched my book library over to Calibre+DeDRM and put my device in airplane mode.
- Comment on WTF is ozzing around my thermistor and heater 1 year ago:
In my experience the hole that the thermistor goes into isn’t in the path of the filament. So probably what’s happening is either the nozzle or the tube that screws into the other side of the heater block is loose, allowing melted plastic to escape through a place other than the tip of the nozzle.
After you’ve cleaned it out, what I like to do before running filament through again is to turn the hot end on, let it come up to temp, then tighten the nozzle a bit more. The joint expands when heated so even if you’ve got it right at room temp it can still need tightening at the working temperature.
- Comment on Advice/Opinions about first printer... 1 year ago:
My advice is to buy based on the availability of replacement parts. A red flag to me is a brand where there are no third party nozzles or hot end components. Because inevitably something is going to go wrong and you’re gonna have to fix something. Some printers make it really hard to get at the hot end components which will make it really intimidating to troubleshoot for the first time.

- Comment on Toasted Torture Toaster 1 year ago:
+1 to the skipped steps discussion. Those offsets are from the print head somehow getting stuck and not moving when the stepper driver commands a move. Reasons can vary but often they are mechanically related.
One very basic test is to move the head with your hands through its entire travel range on both axes (with motors off ie M84 or printer off) and feel the resistance to motion. Steppers of this size are not particularly powerful; you can overcome their force with your hands.
Another possibility is that the acceleration is set too high: a fast direction change puts a lot of force on the motor. Try setting your acceleration really low, like 100, in the slicer and see if it still behaves that way. If not then there’s your handle on a parameter to tune.
The poor behavior in the toast is probably a different parameter that needs tuning. I suggest getting the layer shift problem fixed before worrying about anything else.
