Hi Ian, how you been old fella?

The cameras are for my rural property, which has no power. My home where I live (and print) not only has power, we also have internet and hot running water. It's amazing all the shit we're getting these days!

Just winding you up... We've just had a few issues on the farm recently with trespassers and thieving, and even a crazy bloody real estate agent coming on the place and leaving me notes. It's time to catch them in the act!

I share your fears about the border. This "covid thing" is like a blank check for pollies, and don't even get me started on the media coverage. It's like everyone caught Stockholm syndrome rather than covid.

The ballscrews are already back in place, but I took the chance to rethink my bed mounting and ordered a longer GT2 belt. I want to place the ballscrews outside the printhead-area.

It has to get worse, before it gets better, they say...

@zapta That's correct.

@zajkosrc51 some pictures or even some files of your design would be good

I use a Noctua 4020 on my Titan Aero and it works well enough. The 4010 wasn't quite enough for me.

@deckingman No, because I'm not looking your YouTube - it's not thing I'm using everyday for making money. Its a little difference

Ahh - well it worth a try ☺

Merry Christmas to all! 🙂

I use the same technique to trigger a camera to make layer synchronized time lapse video.

Update - that looks like it's done the trick - thanks again guys.

@theruttmeister said in Ground loops don't only affect 3D printers:

The most likely risk is that you get a nasty shock when you touch the now un-earthed case

I said nothing about an "un-earthed case".

Of course you want the AC ground to be connected to the AC ground on any power supply that has such a connection.

You also want the AC ground to be connected to any metal parts (case, frame, etc) in case the AC hot or neutral could come in to contact with the metal parts and thus post a risk of shock.

But the DC outputs of the power supplies, as used in 3D printers, are almost surely isolated from the AC.

And given the low voltage they do not pose a risk of shock.

So there is no need to connect the DC negative output to the AC ground.

I decided to go with a new PSU. Don't want to start the new build with workarounds 😉

Thanks for your help guys!

Thanks guys. I'll look into the options and think about it 😉

Almost feels a bit silly, but with 120mm build platform and its limited what I can make - but I ended up making a bunch of these that had the sole purpose of offsetting a monitor by 20mm or so. Its definitively in the "etc" category..

Why? Local company sent out a bunch of monitor stands and monitors to boost productivity in the home office, but hadn't tested the new curved 27" screens fit the monitor stand they had been using in the offices. At 3kg pr screen i figured a printed part would do.

Keep the spirits up! I will likely return some day.

stay safe!

@jens55 another time I'd be interested in the reads about getting a better reading. Would be good for the truck batteries.

Glad you enjoy it!

I have no issues on desktop, and can easily read most forums on the phone. This is the one that has forced me to use the desktop mode on my phone.

Thanks for the suggestion - I will try it and see how I get on 🙂

as said, part of the hot air side of tool, used to move the IC when heated enough and to press the ic to the pcb while heating it
