Thanks for the tips!

For the z-rails, how high are we talking? Manual is 3mm and that's what I stuck with initially, but I've got the rails off to clean and degrease/regrease then right now, so now's as good a time as any

Good to know. I got the Klicky parts through PIF, so I'll add it to the list!

multiple toolheads

Nope, although I think I read that there is such a mod for the Trident, but that's because it has a fixed gantry. 2.4 is "flying" so I doubt that's possible

enclosing it

I waffle back and forth there. I want to use ABS/ASA, but I have a ton of PLA to use up and I've read that doesn't do so well in an enclosure. At least there are printable clips to help quickly remove the panels

runout sensors

There are a few, but the reviews on YouTube I've seen made them out to be kind of meh. I'm considering building the Enraged Rabbit Carrot Feeder once I'm up and running and tuned. That's an MMU that has a dual filament sensor. You may be able to look at what they're using at the hotend side and adapt it.

load cell sensors

For bed leveling? I've not seen that anywhere. There are a few similar mods, e.g. Klicky and Tap. The LDO kit I got has the Klicky parts, so I'll go with that eventually.

Biggest thing to remember is take your time. I built my MK3s in a weekend, this definitely is not that. I view this as a much longer endeavor and investment that's better than everything on the market right now. Better than Bambu and the like because it's open source. Better than Prusa because the MK4 was really just a 5-year old printer with a new paint job and the XL is way out of my price range. Overall, this will be my printer, and once finished I'll have customized every single thing to my liking.

This is the first week I've been working on it, I'd estimate maybe 10 hours so far, most of it last Sunday.

Subbed!

Are you aware of anything like this for text messages? Google messages filters a lot, but a) it's not perfect, and b) it's app specific

Woah I never knew they'd eat anything other than seeds

I'm running Immich on an Odroid N2 and it's great! https://immich.app/

Oh man, Hobbes's face on that last panel made me laugh so hard!

Impeccable taste ;-)

Weirdest one I've tried is peanut butter. Needless to say I still have most of the bottle haha.

Glad to see another who likes Ghostlight! Most everybody else I've met thinks it's though.

Your first is always your favorite, so mine is The Robots of Death. Runners up: Nightmare of Eden, State of Decay, The War Games, Mawdryn Undead, Dragonfire

Does your camera do the bird ID in the upper left automatically?

[–] dirtdigger 2 points 2 years ago

It definitely won't be a perfect match what you see on your monitor vs in real life. Fact is, rgb color rendering can't capture the full spectrum of light that actually reflects from objects.

But, it should give a good ballpark estimate of what a filament should look like, or relative colors. The site owner does all of the color determination himself, so variability from person to person/camera to camera should be one that's taken out of the equation.
