Tasty Cocoa Powders
These pricey cocoa powders are tasty and indulgent. Saving here to remember again later!
Bicycle DT Swiss 370 Ratchet Upgrade
I have a wheen with a DT Swiss 370 hub. This is broadly the same as the DT Swiss 350 hub, but it ships with a different label and different, cheaper internals and freehub body. Ali Express and other place have upgrade kits. I have one on order. Also two tools are needed, cheapest if bought separately:
- need 370 tool for uninstall old
- need star ratchet tool for install, non exp version, which is the newer star ratchet system name.
Don Quixote Old Copy
Archive.org has a scan of the 400 year old first translation of Don Quixote from Spanish into English. I ran a quiz for my squad about it! Collots and eggs, what fun: Don Quixote
Pultrusion Filament Design
Recreator3d have a small pultrusion filament maker design. Looks super fun.
Local LLM Helper Site
I have a modest graphics card, but it has much more power than any NPU and can actually run modest models that are modestly useful for coding.
Seems like I should come back to this site a few times a year and figure out which models to try: FitMyLLM
I'm currently grabbing "DeepSeek-Coder-V2-Lite-Instruct-Q6_K"
Klipper Config for 3d printer board
So I have a half build Voron Legacy printer with a SKR Mini e3v3 board in it.
After flashing it, my little linux box recognises the SKR boards as a USB device, so that's nice.
I'm new to Klipper but I have a installed on my linux box. I need a config file for Klipper so it understands the board, and the makers of the board have a config file available here.
I definitely need to update this line to match my specific USB linux path
[mcu] serial: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Klipper_stm32g0b1xx_4D003C000B50345033313820-if00
I'll have to compare it with the Voron Legacy config file, which is for a different board. I'm wondering about the kinematics: cartesian which is probably meant to say something about Core XY.
Update 1
The Voron Legacy github includes a sample config file for a similar but different board, also from Big Tree Tech, which is here. Looks like I should use kinematics: corexy.
Brevill Bambino Manual
Popping this link here so that I can find it easily
Brevill Bambino Plus manualCoffee Beans Things
So you can get discounted coffee beans. A friend from dancing described how subscriptions go on sale at various times of the year, and the the discounts can be quite big, like %30. 1kg bags are cheaper, and my new grinder works much better than my old grinder with older beans, so I have options.
Inglewood; Sunset BLVD
I found this one sale for $43 delivered for a kilo, which is a great price. I haven't tried this coffee with my new grinder, but I thought it was fine with my old setup.
Code Black Coffee Roasters; Home Blend
This comes in 500g only for $24 and I can pick it up. A pretty good deal but I don't know how much I'll like the blend.
Will & Co; Natural Coffee Beans
Bery good deals available, not yet tried. see here
ST. Ali; Orthodox
Average deals, great coffee
Sensory Lab; Steadfast
Good deals regularly available, medium nice coffee.
A Rainy Sunday
It was raining very lighly in Melbourne as I popped out to get a sandwich. The rain radar was being melodramatic about it:
At 26 degrees, and with the day being grey but bright, the necessary attire was
- a smaller umbrella
- sunglasses
- shorts
Fiddly Connectors Identified
For identifying various small fiddly connectors and the varients, this page is very helpful.
I needed the 4 pin PH varient, it turns out. Confusingly some sellers appear to mislabel this as 1.5mm pitch instead of 2mm pitch, which would make the ZH varient instead.
I needed to identify so that I could be some already wired female connectors so that I can do soldering instead of crimping while adding a motor to this 3d printer tool head board, the 2 piece Stealthburner board by Haarkt.
I tried crimping one myself, but then when securing the wires to it I broke it. In trying to unpin a pin from the connector, I them broken another wire, whilst not removing any of the now useless pins. So I'm ordering one and will then only need to do soldering, which i can achieve.
Good Microfiber Cloths
There are yukky feeling micro fiber cloths are much nicer soft feeling ones. For my future reference these are the latter:
