Waveshare are cool, they supply the 3D models of their products.

Just playing with modelling the monitor. Very rough. But I have the perfect filament when I finally 3D print this.

I love this display. So many I was looking at before, had their ports right on the edge, which would mean extreme cable bending. But the board for this is nice and in the center.

Now I'm thinking I want to stick my old 980 GPU in the "case" (it's small enough), and maybe create a miniature function keyboard.

I got some speakers and a mic that will work with them. So maybe I could use it as my own LLM.

Everything is up in the air now.

Any suggestions?

Finally finished this version of the lantern for a friend. Came out well.

The amount of spelling and grammar mistakes you folks publish is disgusting.

You're meant to be our national broadcaster.

Is there any wonder why people hate you so much? You do the bare minimum. And even then you get it wrong.

Well done, America. You're such a fucked country.

Why would anyone even want to legally or otherwise live there?

Disgusting.

I actually printed that last item, the Christmas scene, it was very delicate, but beautiful.

Sweet! That looks awesome.

Hey, Mike. Hope you're well. How did you get on with the print?

Sweet, looking forward to seeing it.

Hard to read scale. But, reducing the outer layers by one, and reducing the infill would of course help.

Also, while expensive, and not for this use. Carbon fiber PETG is lighter than PETG, for example.

Would love to see the solution you come up with regardless.

Hit me up if you need any input

Also, I'm thinking. depending on the print, can you work in some way to clamp things together?

With TPU under pressure, it creates a perfect seal.

Do you have a shaping tool? Just basically a soldering iron with tools for the end to help shape prints with this type of thing.

They can get expensive, I got a cheap one and it's perfect. Think I spent €40.

If you have a second glue gun, use that for print material and keep a newer/better gun for basic glue.

First discovered it here.

With a heat gun, have you consider making your own glue sticks with the TPU?

Just print them in the same size with ridges for the gun to grip. Works perfect with PLA and PETG, can't see why it won't work with TPU.

A nice upgrade would be these 16 & 24 bit LED rings, with an ESP32 to make it smart (WIFI & BT).

But, I haven't tested these yet.
