All done

@demofox Nice! How are printers these days? It's been a decade since I've played with one, and I remember differential cooling causing warping, sticking/not sticking to the platform, bad supports, etc.

@rreusser this was our first print and it worked fine, so no idea really!

I was sitting there thinking about this device that wanted 12v dc, and thinking "wait a second, car batteries are 12v". I think it'd be pretty ghetto to run a 3d printer from a car battery. I'm wondering if it'd be more so if it was a battery still in a car, while it was running 😆

I also had a 24v wall adapter and was thinking there is some way to halve voltage that isn't a voltage divider but I couldn't remember what it was...

@demofox Silly answer: run two printers in series

@BenAU there we go. I got super burnt out at my last job and so spent some time learning electronics. This job has been great and I've forgotten so much 😂

@demofox Heh, glad you’re enjoying the new job :)

@demofox <whispers> They should be about 14v - if they're 12v they're probably fucked</whispers>

@demofox Have it in the car and make it print 3d maps of where you are using GPS and OpenStreetMap data.
Maybe a bit inconvenient for real time navigation. :)
