We're putting together a workspace for our engineering office and I'm trying to decide on a good method for building out wall organization above workbenches. I use french cleats at home for my woodshop, so I'm leaning toward using the mdf slatwall system to make it easy to just buy or print hooks and all of that and reorganize things as we settle into the space. But I also see a lot of people with skadis boards from Ikea

What are you using for your tinkering area? Would love to see pictures of different setups as well, since I'm coming from a primarily woodworking slant.

I'm working on assembling a Dragonburner. I'm coming from an SB and really like the Rainbow barf and nozzle LEDs. There are tons of pre-assembled SB LED kits, but none for the Dragonburner that I can find. I bought two stealthburner rainbow barf/neopixel sets and have tried to solder onto the back of them, but my hands are just too shaky for 28 gauge wire with that small separation.

Does anyone know where I can get a pre-made set of Dragonburner LEDs? Anyone making them on commission? I'd even settle for just 3 neopixels at this point.

I'm fixing up my backyard and have probably 15-16 yards of dirt I need to get gone. Dumpsters were quoted at $450 for 10 yards.

Is there a place I can take dirt that the city can just use, like how you don't have to pay to dispose of tree limbs at the transfer stations? Does posting 'free dirt' on marketplace work? Or is it just really that expensive to get rid of dirt around here? Every time I've had a dumpster, it fills up with other people's garbage before I can use half, so I'm not thrilled about getting dumpsters.

I have a 2.4 that is running a BTT Octopus 1.0.

I turned the printer off last week due to risk of lightning storms and haven't been able to get klipper to start since. That whole "mcu not found" thing where the control board kicks on heaters and tries to burn down the house kind of deal. I've checked every cable, replugged, cleaned, and then finally replaced the usb cable between the pi and the Octopus. Still no dice. It just refuses to be seen by klippy.

So, replacement/upgrade... Do I go for an Octopus 1.1, a Manta M8P, a Leviathan, or something else? Reading data sheets I'm not able to easily see what the pros and cons of each are. What are you running, and are you happy with it?

How do I get a Raspberry PiCam to work in Mainsail? Voron 2.4, Octopus Pro V1.0, Raspberry pi 4, Picamera V1.2. Up to date on klipper, mainsail, and crowsnest.

I've followed this tutorial and this one.

The cables are clean and plugged in. The pi can see it. Using libcamera in a putty session I can take pictures and video. But when I add the camera to mainsail using the Webcams dropdown, no matter what I set, it stays black. Since it's not a webcam, the tutorial says to use the url /webcam/?action=stream for a camera over port 8080, which is what I've got it set to. I tried

I'm upgrading my 2.4 from Afterburner to a stealthburner toolhead, with the Nitehawk SB board and Beacon.

I have 10x11 cable chains on the X and Y and the Nitehawk connector just barely passes through when depressing the tab at every link, but it doesn't seem like the Beacon connector will go through with the Nitehawk cable already run, especially on the Y when the limit switch wires are added in, doubly so on the Z with the motor wires.

I don't have anything made for umbilical or for putting a limit switch pod on the toolhead, and unless some resin prints can work, I'm SOL on the umbilical front because this was my printer and I was sure I had fully prepared with two sets of printed parts

Hi all.

I'm wiring up a new garage. I've installed a subpanel with 4 circuits, 3 of them having GFCI breakers. The 4th has a gfci at the one outlet it feeds. I've wired it up like this and have recently passed my first inspection, so I'm free to start installing outlets.

After installing a couple of plugs, I decided to test them out. Using the plug-in tester, everything showed good. As soon as I plug anything in, the GFCI trips. I've used my multimeter to measure current at the outlets, no current. Everything is run through EMT so I was afraid I cut through the sheathing somewhere, but it's occurring on every circuit I ran, so unless I royally screwed
