Readout is an open source companion app for the EEVblog 121GW multimeter. One codebase runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android and Windows, with a live display, remote buttons, logging, graphs, and an MCP server so an AI assistant can use the meter.
After three rounds of modifications; replacing the fan, adding a Fresnel lens, and fitting a carbon filter; the Mars 3 had become a pretty capable little machine. But I still had to walk over to it every time I wanted to check on a print. That bothered me more than it should have. The fix […]
Every Intel NUC, every media center PC, every set-top box sitting behind a TV — they all have an infrared receiver. A tiny sensor waiting for a signal from a remote control that, in most cases, nobody ever uses. I looked at that receiver and thought: what if it could do something actually useful? That […]
Some projects start as polished products. Others begin as practical tools built to solve one annoying problem. iTunesLyrics belongs in the second category, and that is exactly what makes it special. At its core, iTunesLyrics is a Windows desktop app designed to fill in missing lyrics for songs in your local iTunes library. Behind that […]
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.
