Over the past few months, I’ve been working on a project that’s been both challenging and incredibly rewarding: building a home Raspberry Pi cluster for running containerized workloads. What started as a simple experiment in distributed computing has evolved into a production-ready platform that handles everything from home automation to monitoring services. In this post, […]
Remote 3D printing monitoring has become essential for anyone running prints that take hours or even days. Prusa Research recognized this need and developed Prusa Connect, a cloud platform that allows you to monitor and control your 3D printer from anywhere. The platform supports camera integration out of the box, but the options are somewhat […]
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 […]
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 […]
One of the biggest annoyances of this printer is that the UV LED array cooling fan runs 100% of the time. Even when there isn’t anything being printed on. It wouldn’t bother me so much if the fan wasn’t so loud. Which at full speed, distracts from the printer’s elegant operation. Thankfully there is an […]
In a rather ludicrous display of maker forgetfulness, I didn’t take enough pictures for this project. I’m pretty sure there’s a more involved step by step process somewhere on the internet. After all, there are plenty of ways to make these jars.
I prefer to keep it short as I’m not fond of writing much these days. It’s partly why I’ve been out of touch for a while. Nevertheless, my projects continued, and I’ve restored an old 1960 Magnavox 88-02-00 Tube Amplifier.
All right, let’s continue with the iPod repairs. (If you missed Part 1, you can read it here.)
I’ve been entrusted with the task of repairing two iPod Nanos with issues, one of them has a problematic click-wheel and the other one the power button is broken which means you can’t turn it on anymore. Both repairs were successful, and as usual here are some pictures on how they were repaired.
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.
