Welcome to “necroprinting”—3D printer nozzle made from mosquito’s proboscis
They're quite a bit cheaper than manufactured nozzles if you can dissect them.

For those who owns a printer: Please bring a printout of this reservation confirmation email with you at the staying day.

Overetagen i vores hus er ret dårligt isoleret, så mit lille hjemmekontor kan ikke bringes over 19 grader i denne kulde, selvom radiatoren er skruet helt op. Så jeg har en kombi af elektrisk varmeovn og elektrisk fodvarmer til at gŸre det udholdeligt. Meget priviligeret, jeg ved det!

Let's hope this works. Then it would be an easy fix for the bloody IKEA Nävlinge LED Lamp that breaks too easily at the clamp.

Got one of those little Polono P31s thermal label printers from shown on TikTok - actually a neat little gadget, only thing I'm not a fan of the Labelnise app - no idea what/if its sending out. So with the assistance of Claude, knocked up a small Python CLI to print text, images, qr and barcodes to it over BLE.

JFC Ricoh, get your shit together.
Client ordered a completely new office printer, they said it was going to be delivered and configured today, so I bombed into town specifically for that.
They had already dropped the printer off and screwed by the time I arrived.
They never contacted us

I have a dual extrusion 3D printer. I could try to be productive, learn new things, and set myself technical challenges... But since I'm a kid in an adult's body, I'm going to print cool masks for my two cats. My neighbors are going to flip out.

I'm not an apple user but... Why doesn't apple have a printer? Could do a lot with it NGL... Could integrate with air drop and stuff.

Just plugged the printer into a Linux box to dump descriptors.
My VM USB passthrough is not broken: the thing is in fact a 12 Mbps USB full speed device! No wonder it's a bit slow...

A few weeks ago, I re-designed the Morserino M32 Pocket case, and Hans Summers of QRP Labs just posted that they are using my design for the cases they ship. They are also doubling production by buying another printer, so they should be through the initial order backlog by roughly the end of next month. 🎉

The year 2025 was the year I finally fulfilled my destiny and became a bureacrat — I couldn't be happier! White shirt, red tie, brown belt, mechanical in my approach to things. I love spreadsheets, files, book-keeping, accounting, finances.
Most of what I do in a day is read E-Mails, fill out forms, write documents, read documents, call and text people. I have a desk, a printer, get a tea in the morning.
All this with the added spice that I often write press releases, get cuttin…

I have been trying for YEARS to have my printer print on Linux and it has always felt like a headache and I stopped before it worked.
Today, having no other choices, I plugged it in my #Fedora Silverblue 43. A pop-up asked me for my admin creds. I inserted it. VoilŠ. The printer works and I had nothing to do for it to work. That's amazing 😻 Whoever fixed this and automated this: you are…

If there was a downloadable design for a 3D printer to make a moral compass, would anyone in silicon valley make use of it?

I had a vague memory of DYMO label printers being the only party in town.
They're not.
Trying to find a cheap label printer for exclusive home use looks like a VERY daunting prospect.

a 3D-printed version of my avatar picture, drawn as a single, uninterrupted spiral. The printer never stops, the nozzle follows a spiral path from the inside out, continuously. What changes along the way is the amount of material being extruded. #3dprint #spiral

Uh... Everytime I want to print something on my HP Smart AI web printer for Microsoft Windows 10 S edition with Microsoft™ Copilot Office 356 Copilot app (Office 365 operated by 21Vianet version) with a Clipchamp link, the system makes another printer device.
Maybe I should just switch to one of the GOOD operating systems. Which one though...

New speakers installed, got the consoles hooked up to the SCART switch and everything wired up. The new speakers sound great, nothing caught fire, and everything works. Cleanup successful.

If I had a 3d printer, I would probably be spending all my time on printing things like that too!

I’ve managed to get a slot in march to take the coveted „3D printer license course“ in march. Which means afterwards I can use the library‘s 3D printers 😁

After a few iterations of 3d printed prototyping I have an external enclosure for my ThunderScope PCIe prototype to enable future testing without being too dangerously exposed to shorts from random tools and cables on the bench.
And to more firmly secure the card in the slot so it doesn't wobble around when I'm mating and unmating cables.

Still having issues with a 3D print, already cleaned printer, lubed vertical screws, used IPA on chrome and carbon rods, thoroughly cleaned build plate, cold pulled nozzle, dried filament… I think it might be this specific batch of filament having issues

Apparently the "Brother printer support scam" is still a thing. Great job, search engines, certificate providers, browser developers, and every other tech field that's failed to stanch this over the last decade or two.

On my way to @…. My co-worker Marcus Crestani is already on-site at the @… booth and looking fabulous, will try to do my best to compete.
See you at our booth or my talk tomorrow!

I got a free HP wireless printer, and it seems that it is not designed to work on a subnet other than the one where the print job is sent from.
I had to configure an Outbound NAT rule in pfSense so that traffic from print jobs is sent out with the pfSense IP address to trick the printer into thinking that the sender is on the same subnet.
What a hassle!

I haven't posted much lately because I am about to run out of tokens and I'm racing to get the next batch of all-unique cards to the printer-- I like the number & suits because it fits into #foxwork being self-working, e.g. I can say "Look, you got the 3 of cones!"

It’s 2026, my 3D printer will probably be made illegal, my ebike will probably be made illegal, and the Federal Government is run by criminals and pedophiles.

The RetroTINK is now hooked up into the SCART switch along with the capture card on the computer. Switched back over to the JVC TM-H150CG because it's a better CRT than the Sony PVM-2530 and it takes up a bit less space. Still need to arrange the cables a bit, but I think this weekend is gonna be perfect for playing some games.

I'm finally trying printing with Spiderflex (77-82A shore) filament. The print speeds remind me of my first 3d printer. Two tiny parts totaling under 3g took about an hour, printing with a maximum speed of 10mm/s. But having really flexible TPE is really handy; there's really no reasonable alternative!
Now I have new feet for my KX3, and honestly they might be better than the originals (sorry Elecraft!) They are at least as grippy on the table surface, and they are a closer fit on the …

Just swapped the 0.4mm nozzle of my 3D-Printer for a 0.2mm Nozzle. The level of detail and smoothness is stunning. Printing dust covers for USB A and C ports

I reinstalled MX Linux on my father's mini PC because because it wouldn't connect to the Internet or the local network. After half an hour of scratching my head, I still didn't know why.
After reinstalling and configuring everything (network printer, email, accounts for various websites, etc.), I realized that the IP address I had assigned to it was already taken.

Cleaning up the office a bit and getting the CRTs in there for their permanent home. The JVC fit perfectly beside the audio rack and everything is hooked up without too much issue. Still waiting on the SCART to BNC breakout for the Sony, but even it's now in the office as well.
