    2 pieces of tech, 1 piece of software (4 if we include freeware)

    A 3D Printer has become a corner stone of repair and tidiness in my house hold thanks to it. Saves me money on knickknacks on tools to keep things working and wires cleaned up.

    FreeCad and PrusaSclicer have been helpful to make that happen.

    The other is an Elgato hdmi recorder, allowing me to turn my various mobile devices and stream boxes in DVR. With editing software like DaVinci Resolve, Magix Vegas I am able to record my shows at a good quality and edit them down to remove things like streaming company logos.

    I wont go into the specifics since I don’t want this gravy train to stop, but handbrake is the last part of the process to compress the video down to a bit sized format.

      I need to get going on my 3D printer, it’s just an expensive device collecting dust at the moment… Last few times I tried to do a test print it just slid around after a few layers and ruined the print.

        What printer? If you have a glass bed, glue stick like the other guy said… if you have a textured pei sheet, clean the sheet with 99% isopropyl alcohol.

        Actually any time you touch the bed with your hands, no matter if it’s glass or pei, clean it with 99% isopropyl alcohol. The oils on your hands are the enemy of good bed adhesion.

        Increase the bed temp, try using a glue stick on the bed, and add a brim. It that doesn’t work check the first layer height.
