I have the MYNT pen you have pictured and I’ve used it a few times to patch up bad holes or other spots on prints that I did on my 3d printer.

It does the job when it comes to filling spots and am guessing it would easily do what you are describing. I know I find it a little unwieldy (I think that’s the right word) when it comes to making it do intricate things. I’ve seen pictures of detail work people claim they’ve done with them and meh - it’s beyond me. I’m decent with an airbrush but it doesn’t handle the same way.

I guess keep in mind - the pluses is that it uses the same filament you are using so it will match color wise.

The minuses is that it can be inconsistent with the flow rate and can be uneven with how it fills and looks so be prepared to (possibly) do a little extra sanding to get it level.

Interesting. I’ve held off buying it because I thought it was unplayable on the Deck. Maybe I need to give it a second look.

Wait, people are playing Black Myth Wukong on the Steam Deck???

Apple to move the location of the charging port to the middle / top of the mouse after complaints about it being on the bottom.

My cat is permanently the one in the upper left hand corner. We’ve had people come to visit and ask if something is wrong with her only to see her raise her head up, look at them then lay back down and start snoring again.

We joke she is living the good life.

There is actually an app that will let you remotely view and start/stop the printer without the use of the VPN.

My wife often works from home and is tech savvy so I have no problems running prints and checking in remotely and I often hear of others doing the same; however…

I would not recommend doing it without someone handy. Just my two cents. It’s not that someone could hack in - it’s that you are dealing with temps in the hundreds of degrees Celsius. While I don’t recall of these things catching fire, the thought that it could burn my house down has more than once crossed my mind.

OP after I got my printer and got it printing (using a thumb drive for files for a bit) I setup a Raspberry PI running Octoprint on my network. Basically the printer hooks to the Pi and it serves as a print server of sorts. You can then send files to the Pi, configure it to watch your prints remotely (with a camera) and do some pretty cool things with it.

There are tons of videos on YouTube of course. Just something to think about.

The whole reason I bought my Steamdeck was because I couldn’t get the Portal (thanks to scalpers).

Now I hardly ever turn the PS5 on because I am playing tons of games on Steam instead. When I do I am usually running something over my LAN via Chiaki to my Deck so others in my house can watch TV.

Yup, typical cat helping.

Interesting. So does it slow down your speeds any that you can tell?

I keep seeing this posted here and elsewhere. Is there a simple, easy step-by-step explanation for how to build one of these and how to deploy it on your home network?

I’ve got very limited experience with working with Raspberry Pi.

I see Snoop Dog.

So am not a Garmin user (Apple) but for years now I will regularly wash my band with soap and water and regularly wipe the back of the face (the sensor part that comes in contact with your skin) with a cloth soaked lightly in alcohol.

If I am doing some outdoor work or a lot of exercise then I will always do this as well afterwards. My wife ran into some issues with her wrists after getting hers where she developed a rash and found that regularly cleaning of the watch - both band and the sensor area stopped this from happening.

Daily and by that 2-3 hours a day.

I bought it instead of that Portal for the PS5 so as to stream games from my PlayStation so the family could share the TV but I found I am now just buying games for it (the Deck) solely and not using the PS5 anymore.

They’ll probably just double/triple the price of new parts now if you want to use them.

That was it! The controller I was using needed a firmware update. I tried that and when I took it back to my SteamDeck, voila!

I haven’t tried Forbidden West but can load it up later and see if it works compared to some of the others.

Thanks for the link I will dig into this tonight and see what all it says.

I think the other user pretty much nailed it about the enclosure. Unless you are printing materials that require high heat it is not necessary.

Now if you are in a very dusty environment you might consider one just to avoid the hassle.

However you also may want to look online, there are some simple and fairly inexpensive pop up enclosures that work very well. I have been using one for a while now with mine and I print ABS pretty regularly. I just tore all the electronics out of my printer and printed a control box for it (external) to the outside of the enclosure.

“Yeah, I got angry at one of the lads and I punched a tree. But the tree fell on top of my supervisor and broke his leg. They don’t make speed like that any more,” he laughed.
