Many 'domestic managers' aren't fans of wall mounted tablets. 🤔
But, picture frames are perfecty acceptable wall adornments. 🤷

Behold, the picture frame tablet wall mount! 👌
Printed versions and STLs are available - comment below if you want links 👇

Prototype of the first in a new 'picture frame' tablet wall mount range. This is an HONOR #TabX7. What tablet should I do next? Ignore the bowed edges. I missed out a clip point which pushed the frame out a bit. #homeautomation #3DPrinting

Came across this problem (again) this morning so thought I would do a quick video.

Check it out if your @bambulabglobal.bsky.social A1 or A1 Mini suddenly starts to produce crappy first layers.

This is not a political post and I have no interest in triggering anyone. But, I just purchased a butane insert for one of my #Zippo lighters. Zippo is an iconic American brand. This is a genuine insert. The bottom line laser etched into the reverse literally made me LoL.

Absolutely no one: Can you use some bits scavenged from redundant 3D printers to double the cutting area of a desktop CNC router?
Me: Hold my beer 🍺🤣

Of course, I could have just bought an extension kit to do this but where's the fun in that?!

A border router could be a thing you already have, like an Echo Show or a Google Nest Hub. That gets kicked into the park as the so called Matter 'standard' is anything but. Half the devices won't work with those border routers!
#Matter implementation is poor and just causing confusion.
I don't really understand how Thread/Matter brags about not requiring a hub and then immediately turns around and says that you need a border router.

How is that not just a hub? :blobfoxdisapprove:​ Like, I get that it's functionally different, but it's still a hub.

As a user of OrcaSlicer to manage all of my printers (6 Bambu and 11 from other manufacturers) I WILL NOT be forced into using BambuStudio. My Bambu printers are going into LAN only mode and being blocked from accessing the internet before this stupidity occurs. @bambulabglobal.bsky.social
NEW VIDEO!
So, Bambu Lab...What are you DOING???

Is limiting API access to your printers, removing features and support for software and products people want and sometimes NEED a good choice for your business in the long run?
and what is even this all about anyways?
