If you’re going to paint it, take the opportunity to sand the Z seam off before doing it

I have 5 family members using Synology Photos (on a 4-bay Synology NAS) and it’s a great solution for us.

I don’t see myself going back to a cloud-based solution - this one is easy for me and secure.

I’ve got SHR running on my storage, and daily offsite backup to another family member’s house (protects against house fire etc for loss of 20yr+ of photos and videos).

Once you offload from your phone, you can pare down the photos remaining on the phone to whatever you want to be left.

Came here for this exact comment

I just upgraded from Monoprice Select 3d (not what you want) to an Ender 3 S1 and am super happy. I’d recommend the S1 over V2 for you if you think you might want to ever print flexible filament

I got mine for $299 USD on Amazon

You’ll want an enclosure if you want to contain smell or if you want to print in ABS (of any size, as drafts will fracture the print before it cools)

Q3A was a big deal in the late 90’s - I played it all the time on my college’s LAN.

Sadly today I have only one person I know to play this with, and every time I check online servers they’re just bots

I’m running dxx-rebirth

All you need to do is copy your game (map) files from your install disk into it

It’s as I remember it - somewhat simplistic vs games of today. I enjoyed it for the nostalgia, but have been spending the little gaming time I have on Oxygen Not Included and Dead Cells.

Interesting you ask the question - now critically thinking about it - it’s one of the nostalgia moments for me that I’m surprised didn’t differ from memory. I recall trying to watch Star Wars (take your pick of the original three) and found them unwatchable, which was sad and unexpected. I loved those movies as a kid.

The original one, not Syndicate Wars. I have it through the Origin Store. You’ll want an external mouse.

Not in any particular order: Captain Comic Space Quest - Sarien Encounter Rebel Assault Quake III Arena Syndicate

I have access to all of these, issue is just time

I have Syndicate on my Steam Deck and have played a few missions. Fun nostalgia.

I have Descent 2 on my Steam Deck and it’s fabulous

100% agree. Loved the Steam Controller. Love the Steam Deck. Drop the trackpads and my use case gets 10x smaller - I’d pass on it.

This is a two-for one. You asked for it :)

My experience has consistently been that Cura gave superior prints

Heading to EAA right now. Looking forward to seeing them cruising around.

Might need to set up a VPN server so you can access (if your Pi is behind a firewall) - this is what I do so I can access when away from home.

I’ve had best results with Cura, trees, support interface on using “grid” with “0.8mm interface thickness” and “75% interface density”, and when printing with 0.2 layer thickness and 0.1 gap between support and model (which then snaps to the 0.2 layer thickness)

Slicer plugins are available in Octoprint

Example: https://github.com/OctoPrint/OctoPrint-Slic3r

I saved $50 and bought DS420+ instead of DS920+

Don’t do this

I’d kill to have the quad core at this point, it’s CPU limited with all my Docker apps

As an Ender 3 S1 owner, and prior owner of Monoprice Select 3D V2, I’m really happy with the Ender. $299.

Just be aware that printers at this price are for hobbyists- and don’t confuse 3d printing like photo printing (push-button basically). 30+ % of your prints are going to fail until you get through a steep learning phase
