I use a Prusa MK3 (not MK3S/+) that I got in 2018. Later this year I hope to get an MK4 to join it, and maybe a Voron 2.4 for big prints. My first printer was a SeeMeCNC Rostock MAX from 2013. Its controller board died for the second time just before I got the MK3, and I never fixed it.

Crusty geek. Retired software developer, aspiring musician. Used Unix way before it was cool.
Once I built a pumpkin chucker. Another time, I built an LED cube.
Interests: 3D printing and making in general, synths (playing and making them), learning the bass guitar (rock, jazz, funk), FPGAs and electronics, pinball. I spent 40+ years obsessively coding and studying computing, but that interest has finally cooled.
On Mastodon, I am @kbob.

Merci Argonaute! 😝
I use my printer as part of larger projects. Furniture gets new legs. Kitchen gets new spice rack. Appliances get small repairs or mods. TV gets soundbar attached. Desk gets hook for headphones. That kind of stuff. It’s all one-of-a-kind and of no use to anybody else, but extremely satisfying to model, print, and use.
(I had a bunch of photos on Twitter. Can’t link now, might copy to the Fediverse later.)
I need to make one of these for my Scarlett 2i2. I like your design.
I guess I started using Firefox when it was called NCSA Mosaic. A friend showed it to me at Apple in 1993, but I didn’t get what the web was good for then. (To be sure, there wasn’t much there yet.) By 1994 I was working at SGI, and marketing was exploring whether there was a product there for us, so I installed it, started using it, followed NCSA’s daily roundup of new web sites for a while. It was mind boggling – hundreds of sites, and three or four new ones every day! (Yes, those are global totals.)
By late 1994, Mosaic Communications (later renamed to Netscape, then Mozilla) was poaching employees from SGI, including quite a few people I knew.
By 1995, my girlfriend (now wife) was shocked to see a URL on the side of a bus. That was our proof that the web had gone mainstream.
Internet Explorer and Chrome didn’t exist yet, of course.
It’s funny how many people have redesigned Gridfinity. This looks like a solid improvement in a few areas. If you make it, let us know how it goes.
The 4040 adapters ought to have magnets, though, IMO.
