Elegoo Mars 3: 03 Refreshing Air Quality (Carbon Filter Mod)
The new Pro printer comes with carbon activated filters that can remove some (all?) of the resin smell. While some people think that these filters are useless. It wouldn’t be called Pro if we wouldn’t at least try to replicate the same feature in our base model. Luckily for us, the process is half done…

Elegoo Mars 3: 02 8% shy of perfection (Fresnel Lens mod)
Okay, the previous update wasn’t so much about being “pro”, after all the new Mars 3 Pro has the same fan… But!! you will feel this way was how this printer should have been from the start. Back to being on topic. Next in the list is the so-called Fresnel lens that it’s supposed to…

SNES DC Jack Repair
Recently, I purchased an old Super Nintendo console system -SNES as commonly referred- to get some retro gaming action on. To my surprise, after hooking it up, I discovered that the power connector was broken, which prevented the power cable to supply the energy in a reliable way, sometimes the console wouldn’t even start.

(this post is part of a series, for part 1 go here. ) Last time, we were working on getting the tranny cooler installed, we were able to choose a place where to put it, next step would be to actually connect it in series with the ATX (Automatic Transmission) and exchange the ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) with…
