Woodworking – the Paint Rack
I have finalized my design for a paint rack, and have been actively cutting the parts. The overall design is large, but is mainly so that I can hold all the various paints I have collected. Cut from 3mm plywood, the assembly is fairly fast and easy, and the structure is surprisingly solid once together.…

They are not necessarily competition level, but certainly very good for tabletop games,…

The screen indicated either a TMC overtemp error, or a Crash Detected. In reality, it was neither. Instead, it was…

Been dealing with a problem with my 3d printer, the Prusa i3MK3s that I have been running for the last couple of years.
