The Ender line of printers have a huge community that’s been active for 5+ years. It’s amazing to drop in and walk through issues that the community has been actively working through for half a decade.
The existing community is what makes it possible to speed-run through years of learnings.
I have used newer printers, like the X1 Carbon, that print faster and print pretty perfectly out of the box with default profiles.
The fun with this practically unused 5+ year old printer is learning all the little things to tune and dial it all in.
Speed-run learning 3D printing with my $50 marketplace Ender 5.
I’m shocked it’s taken me this long to fall into the 3D printing rabbit hole.
Announcing my latest collaboration!
I partnered with Dandelion Chocolate to help create their space-themed chocolate advent calendar.
I curated 25 of the most awesome moons in our solar system to inspire the set. 🧪 #scicomm

Gummy bear update.
I now have the power to print all the things!
And my kids’ first requests are “gummy bears,” so by all the things I guess I mean gummy bears.
Who’s going to make the “bougie, cheap, good; pick two” illustration?
It truly is one of the great mysteries.
Updated my iPhone to the 26 beta and whoa such Windows Vista vibes.
Its your superpower.

Resurrecting fun old hardware and doing silly projects with it.
Programming a small army of radios for MTB season.
Pretty sure this means you’re a celebrity now.
I guess Anthropic was not so ok with anon-kode 😬

Kids these days, always on their tablets.
I’m still looking forward to that iPhone 17 though.
Security just isn’t the same at Apple these days.
Interface for AI prompt assistance in iTerm with "apt command to install cups for printing in debian" in the input box.
Thinking modal for iTerm AI feature.
iTerm AI assistant response, with apt-get commands to install cups in debian.
Accidentally hit ⌘+Y in iTerm, and learn that there is an AI feature.
Think "that's interesting, but I'm not sure I'll use it much."
Set it up... Immediately use it for something trivial.
Not new, but even more so now, yes.
Burned pizza in a toaster oven that was left on for many hours while out running errands. “Drop in” on echo show was used to make sure the house was not on fire and relieve some anxiety once the pizza was remembered, finally uncovering the real use of the otherwise weird feature.
I know you’re all dying to see what the pizza looked like when we got home…
I have found the use case for “drop in” on my kitchen echo.
Checking that my house is not on fire when my 4yo reminds me of the pizza I left in the toaster oven an hour ago and we’re 45 min away from home with a few hours of errands to run.
I can’t believe a PM thought of this. Give them a raise.
Spring break science project ⚡️🧪👨🔬
I haven’t. I use vsc, and lately copilot does 80% of what I need.
I’m going to play with pointing cursor at local models for stuff I don’t want to sent off to ChatGPT/Claude, but haven’t gotten into it yet.
If you do please share the details!
I’ve tried with recent updates and different models and still haven’t had much success. 😞
Holy crap I fixed it.
I put the truck in 4lo last week to get out of some snow, and it wouldn’t shift back to 4hi/2wd. Shop said new transfer case, ~$3k (this is the real fix).
I managed to get it back into 2wd/4hi with the help of the internet and a 400+ page pdf of wiring schematics.
This is relevant to my interests. Do they have a website?
