If you can clamp a whole PCB on the bed, that’s a perfect application ;)

I 100% agree with you, a professionally made dial is a work of art and should be absolutely perfect at any magnification. This is just a fun, cheap summer watch project for my own enjoyment ;)
The best looking alternative would have been to have the logo made by electroforming. They look perfect and very professional. Unfortunately the MOQs are usually quite large and therefore expensive, I couldn’t justify spending half the price of this project just on a logo (even if I had enough spare logos for several lifetimes).
Ah perfect timing indeed.
The key takeaway indeed matches yours: it’s not a Voron despite being heavily inspired by it, there are some annoyances but at this price point it’s forgivable and most of them seem to have workarounds (someone in the comments suggested letting the machine fully soak heat before performing Z-offset calibration), the open-source nature might bring a lot of third-party upgrades in the future.
Also, the reviewer’s unit has some abnormal wear on the belts. Does it match your experience?
All in all, it seems to be a decent budget CoreXY printer with a very large volume at 1/3 the price of an LDO Voron kit + PIF parts, with a much quicker assembly but some potential pitfalls.
If this eventually becomes the Ender 3 of CoreXY printers that can be frankensteined into a a much higher quality printer over time, I’m all for it.
Than you so much for such a detailed analysis!
For reference, I’ve had a (heavily modded) Creality Ender 3 V2 for a few years, and I’ve hit a limit in terms of speed and quality.
The filament path between the extruder and hotend is poorly-constrained, making it a pain to load The auto-z calibration is often just a smidge off It uses a custom nozzle/heater
If it’s possible to install a Stealthburner instead of the standard extruder/hotend combo, it might solve most of these issues. Maybe some people are working on a V6 or Mk8 style hotend (I have a metric fuckton of Mk8 nozzles laying around)…
The fans are absurdly loud. All of them.
OK Noctua upgrades then. Compared to an already absurdly loud Ender 3, is it worse?
The mainboard is effectively a BTT CB1 and Fystec Cheetah on a single board Their software customizations are of dubious quality
Would a Voron-style mainboard + RPi + standard Klipper solve these issues or are there fundamental incompatibilities?
Thanks!
You and me brother.
Which machine did you choose? I went for the Lelit Bianca, never regretted it.

My ADHD brain panics if I need to catch a scheduled train and if I’m not actually there at least 1/4h in advance I melt into a puddle of anxiety.
But city trams and metros are absolutely fine. If I don’t catch this one, there’s gonna be another one in a few minutes. No worries.
Busses that are scheduled every half hour at most drive me mad tho. Did I miss it because it was 10 mins early because fuck schedules or is it gonna be 15 mins late?
Public transport in Europe is often in a sorry state, but trust me, it’s nothing compared to the US. Here in France, a lot of regional trains are very unreliable at best but at least high speed trains on dedicated tracks are fine (very expensive, but ok).
I don’t remember UK rail to be a shitshow and/or that expensive but my only experience is going to/from central London to/from neighboring counties and it was fine.
But in the US, oh boy. About 15 years ago I was living with some roommates in Campbell, CA and we went to SF one day. 1h drive mostly on shitty concrete motorways, including probably around $5 of gas. They were heading north for a romantic getaway so I went back to Campbell by myself. It took almost 4 fuckin hours, on maybe 4 or 5 different private companies, and cost me like $25 to get back.
Public transit in the US is so fucked up im almost convinced it’s by design.
Same. Old DB2 base from the 80’s that was migrated to Oracle in the 90’s then to Postgres in the 2010’s.
And the people there know all the column names by heart 😅
Yeah there’s no confusion in French because “étage” literally means “floor above ground”, so calling the ground floor an “étage” makes no sense. It’s called “rez-de-chaussée” (“at street level”) or RDC for short. Same as “sous-sol” (“under-ground”).
French | UK English | US English | |
---|---|---|---|
Nème étage | Nth floor | N+1th floor | |
… | … | … | |
3e étage | 3rd floor | 4th floor | |
2e étage | 2nd floor | 3rd floor | |
1er étage | 1st floor | 2nd floor | |
RDC | Ground floor | 1st floor | — Street level — |
1er sous-sol | -1 floor | -1 floor | |
2e sous-sol | -2 floor | -2 floor | |
… | … | … | |
Nème sous-sol | -N floor | -N floor |
I fuckin love vinyls, they’re beautiful, fragile, tangible, massive objects, but this is bullshit propagated by audiophile circle jerk who believe they need to break-in their $100000 solid gold oxygen-free gluten-free audio cables to properly align electrons.
Most proper denim pants are sized in inches, even from non-US countries.
But of course vanity sizing is a thing so a size 36 is closer to 38in unless explicitly specified, and most online retailers provide true sizing in cm anyway, so there’s that.
Well, it’s simple.
Solomon Epstein discovered a way to make fusion drives orders of magnitude more efficient. Unfortunately, he grossly underestimated how much more powerful his new drive would be, and died testing it while sustaining more than 11G for 37h, yeeting his own corpse in deep interstellar space.
Fortunately, his files were recovered by his widow, who sold them to the secessionist Martian Colony government, who in turn sold them to the UN in exchange for independence. Earth and Mars developed the engine design so ships could move much farther and quicker than had been possible before, enabling a new gold rush in the outer Solar system and especially the Belt.
And that’s why the Epstein Files were so important.
PETG is almost the same material water bottles are made from. I’ve made a soap holder that gets, by definition, constantly wet in PETG and it’s absolutely fine.
Female V’s voice acting is 🔥
A legitimate salvage
There’s also a community built Flatpak if you’re ok with that
I have for my Kobo Glo HD!
Although I haven’t shared anything since it works for me but is a bit rough.
Thanks for the feedback!
I’m pretty happy with the transparencies tbh. Although on mine, there seems to be two sides, one that gives a fuzzy dirty effect with a lot of stray toner around the actual print (looks like static), and the other side that gives perfectly crisp prints. Unfortunately I can’t really tell the sides apart.
Apart from that small speck of dust that prevented the transfer at the top left of the logo, the sheet came out perfectly clean, the totality of the toner was transferred to the dial. For PCB transfers where you could probably keep the sheet intact (I had to cut mine to fit between the applied indices), that would also mean the sheet would be almost indefinitely reusable.
