Still dicking around with the FlippyDrive / RetroGEM GC mount. I have like 6 different versions now of GC rear I/O panels so I'm combining them and adding punch outs for I/O stuff thats not being used.

I don’t just design and manufacture replacement parts. Sometimes I just spray paint stuff in the backyard.

Welp, that Macintosh IIsi PSU was not salvageable. Some of tiny chips on the daughterboard were MIA due to all the cap juice.
Next best thing? Make a replacement PSU with a custom PCB and a bunch of expensive parts from digikey. 👍

Trying out the Series X: TETRAS filament drier add-on for the Bambu AMS. Honest review, it does what it says. I can stick sad wet filament in it and it dries it while it prints. No down time.
The 4 separate heaters… overkill imo. I’d be fine with one shared heater.
