  • That’s what cliff notes are for. Explaining the background and context so you can better understand what you’re reading in, say, Hamlet.

    Not just simplifying it and removing potentially relevant material.

    For example in the example material:

    • They weren’t just younger. They were more vulnerable. That conveys a lot of meaning. Even the word “more” implies a current vulnerability.

    • Advice isn’t just something told or conveyed. It’s something given for the benefit of the recipient. I told my child to get milk isn’t the same as giving them advice about drinking milk that’s set out.

    • Turning over in my mind ever since -> I still think about is the closest it got to being right. Even then, though, turning over conveys a more meditation/consideration than just thinking about something.



  • I’ve had some luck with attaching silicone pie mat to prints that I wanted to have a grippy surface.

    Downside is it picks up any grime, dust, dirt easily. No biggie when you throw a silicone mat in the dishwasher, more of an issue when you can’t do the same with something 3d printed.

    Another consideration could be large furniture non slip pads. Something made for putting on the feet of a couch/sofa for example, cut to size?













  • Another thing to consider is making a data only USB ( I use a sliver of electrical tape over the 5v+ line ) to stop any power draw between the usb port and the printer.

    And, of course, check that you have a good power brick since shoddy ones always cause issues with pis.

    To be honest sounds like you’ve got a gremlin jumping from one piece of equipment to another so maybe prayer, voodoo, holy water and or appeals to the deity of universal fundamental force of your choosing could help too.


  • It took a bit to get used to because the mindset is different but once it’s going it’s great.

    I love that I can make config changes easily without having to compile firmware.

    If you ever decide to take the plunge feel free to reach out since I did it with my ender 3v2 years ago. Not that it looks anything like the stock anymore.

    Looks like somebody else already has the config working for it and a step by step guide for setting it up on your machine

    One thing to note is you don’t have access to the display anymore since the display on the ender 3 is proprietary. You use a web panel (I often use my phone for this with mainsail as my ui of choice)

    That being said there are other displays that can work with it but I seldom use my display for anything anymore.
