I wonder if this still holds: [Wayback/Archive] Jeff Geerling on Twitter: “@NetworkChuck @joeltelling @Barnacules If you want to spend a month building it and then the rest of your life telling everyone about it, get a Voron. If you want something quick to anssemble and practical, get an Ender 3 S1. If you want the nice coffee-sippingest model that looks good in orange, get a Prusa.”

Interesting, I am going to try to make one with help of Viskip: [Wayback/Archive] Post by @viskip.bsky.social — Bluesky
Wil je deze ook? Ik heb nog een op maat gemaakte as waar ik niets mee doe.
This is the device: [Wayback/Archive] One Winder to Rule Them All – Bambu Filament? No Problem! – YouTube
Maybe at the time of publication, I already made it.
The cool thing: it also winds other things like electromagnetic coils – you can see that towards the end of the video.

Cool to see what 3D printing plus a Raspberry Pi emulating a C64 can do [Wayback/Archive] I Built a Commodore 64 Laptop That Never Existed (PI + EMULATION) – The Portable 64 Concept Design – YouTube.
The Portable 64 with an original Commodore 64 joystick
However, published in December 2025 after Commodore had been resurrected from the C= brands, it would have been way cooler if was based on new Commodore 64 Ultimate hardware.
Maybe someone will do such a portable computer based on that hardware, or even better that it becomes available at [Wayback/Archive] Home | Commodore.

Before visiting Bitlair 2 years ago, I didn’t know there were so many hackspaces and FabLabs in The Netherlands.
There are (:
Starting points:
mapall.space with all hackerspaces and fablabs around the world. It even includes heatmaps of the spaces that use the @space_api (disclamer I made this site).”This is the hackerspace closest to my home: [Wayback/Archive] Technologia Incognita. At Louwesweg 1, 1066 EA Amsterdam, it is about 15 minutes bicycling distance (more information on in their wiki at [Wayback/Archive] ACTA – Technologia Incognita; onofficially on Twitter at [Wayback/Archive] Techlnc ☸ (@Techlnc) / Twitter).
Related tweets:
hackerspaces.nl (@NLHackers) which even has an API. Cool! “
fablab.nl (no Twitter) which also has a map, however since there are so many more #FabLab in the #BeNeLux: no marking which are open/closed.”–jeroen

A promising video:
[Wayback/Archive] Why are we drying filament this way? – YouTube
The trick is blowing warm air over the fillament strand while it is pulled through some tin cans.
This also works for drying used (and therefore wettened) silica gel beads on a 3D printer heat bed.

- 4 x M2.5×4 (-6) or stand-offs for motherboard assembly.
- Screwdriver.
- Glue.
Optional hardware
- File or sanding paper for cleaning up print.
- Wood strips (for authentic look) and shaping tools for those

This was after a few other people recreated Pi cased in the style of the North Pi:

This is kewl: [Wayback/Archive] Injection Travel Kit by frozenfoxx | Download free STL model | Printables.com
Travel case for an injection kit. Includes spaces for draw and injection needles, syringes, vial, wipes, and bandages
Not just because they are injection kits, but because they form a base for other travel cases like one mentioned in the [Wayback/Archive] Comments: Injection Travel Kit by frozenfoxx | Download free STL model | Printables.com
Would it be possible to make this with a space for a horizontal storage for a similar sized via, and a 1-2mL ampule storage? The space could even be taken from one of the needle spaces, maybe.

Various way to keep 3D printed parts together: [Wayback/Archive] Chris Bensen on Twitter: “@geerlingguy It depends. I often times use hot glue. Super glue is great. Epoxy is better. Jbweld is even better. You can even heat the two parts and melt them together. Bolts also work. Rubber band. Velcro’s strap.” / Twitter
