  • I bought a couple 30" deep 6’ long butcher block counter tops. I coated them with polyurethane sealer and mounted them to the wall with 24" deep brackets mounted to the wall studs. So I have a huge amount of desk space without any clutter of legs underneath. By making it myself, I made the height the exact size for my body. The thick butcher block and stud mounting makes the desk more rigid than any typical store desk/table.

    On the wall is multi board that has 3d printer tools and Gunplamark’s ultimate cereal dryboxes.




  • Are you familiar with remote desktop or ssh? Imagine you ssh in to a remote server and run a command. What resources are being used on your client PC? Same thing with FreeCad running on a remote server and you connecting to it via a web browser as a remote desktop. The client web browser is doing nothing but getting a compressed video stream from the server. Like watching Youtube.













  • I have printed ASA on my Anycubic S1. It’s enclosed but doesn’t have an active chamber heater. It uses the bed heater to slowly heat the chamber. It’s $350.

    It technically worked the very first time but it still took like 3 prints tuning the temperature to get good layer adhesion. (I was printing extremely thin and narrow parts and the ASA would break along layer lines.)

    Going only by YouTube reviewers, the Qidi Plus 4 seems to be the best low end for “engineering” filaments. $700 and out of the box it has a hardened nozzle, high temp hardened extruder, and active chamber heating- plus a 305mm build volume. Even their $400 Q2 has a hardened nozzle and active chamber heating.
