  1. I would consider it an investment. Do you know of any particular models that are worth looking at? I watched my youngest brother spend over an hour taking apart and cleaning our old HP printer, putting it back together with a new cartridge and everything only for it to make a bunch of noises before it spit out errors. He understandably took a crowbar to it and smashed it to pieces in a fit of rage.
  2. I need a printer. It doesn't need colors since I only need to make shipping labels and important documents from time to time. Does a good printer even still exist? All the reviews I see on e-retail products would indicate no... It doesn't need any fancy networking as long as I can plug in a flash drive or SD card
  3. I'm looking for an easy plug and play solution to power my DIY fountain during atleast the daylight hours that can be easily uninstalled for the colder months. The problem is my pump will run on my battery banks, but not directly off the USB solar panel I have. I need a battery bank or some other solution that can be charged and discharged at the same time, and ideally doesn't need me to manually press a power button each morning or restarted whenever the bank has run dry. Any ideas? VID_20240229_192430136(1).mp4
  4. Thanks for your thoughts, I'm currently leaning towards buying another model from the same brand that has a 30 mile range instead of 20, then without having to worry about losing my ride I'll tear down the thing, and see how difficult it is to learn how to service. Worst case scenario I will attempt to gut that braking system, move it to using the regenerative braking full-time and probably set it's speed limiter to 6mph and save it as a back-up.
  5. I removed a few bolts and screws to get the wheel out enough to look at the mechanism. Though I'm not sure what I'm really looking at here.
  6. Forgive me, but I do not know the difference between braking technicalities. This is the model: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09QPLP8XG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 "An electromagnetic brake on the front wheel and a mechanical brake on the rear wheel allows you to slow down and stop safely." This is the brake I don't usually use because it's in an awkward spot for me to grab. This is the brake I use.
  7. Hey, I'm looking for repair help with my e-scooter. It's an E-twow GT. I've been using it since august, but recently the brake (the one for the rear wheel activated with the squeeze lever on the right-hand side) has been locking up. The brake light stays on at all times. When walking along-side the scooter the rear wheel doesn't turn and just drags across the ground, although it does move when riding it with the throttle. I don't have any experience fixing bikes or scooters and I'm not confident my car infested city has any repair shops for this type of vehicle.
  8. I'm also considering this positioned vertically. It is more expensive and would certainly require an AC wall power adapter.
  9. So far my favorite find is this thing It looks like it's powered by USB and takes an HDMI. Whether it has a wall-wart adapter or can be powered off my computer's USB I do not know. One of it's popular reviews even shows it being used as a system monitor inside their gaming tower. This is about as large as I can fit on my desk horizontally so if I can find a larger display it will need to be positioned vertically.
  10. I built a system using one of the smallest form factor micro ATX cases I could find: SGPC K88 specifically chosen because it was low-profile enough to fit between the two shelves on my DIY desk setup utilizing a wire rack so that a person like me who doesn't own a car could pack up and move a gaming desktop setup with the least hassle to disassemble and fit in any type of vehicle which helps avoid relying on larger more expensive moving vehicles. This is why I've nick-named the setup "the nomad". (For anyone curious system specs: Asrock B550, 32GB Crucial Ballistix 3600 DDR4, 1TB Samsung nvme SSD, PowerColor RX 6700XT 12gb, Enhance 600W Flex ATX (this case is not meant to mount 1U power supplies, but I happened to have it and found a jank way of mounting it)) (keyboard drawer mechanism is zip-tied to the bottom rack pictured and is surprisingly very secure. Now however, I'm exploring the possibility of finding a tablet-sized monitor I can squeeze beside my main display for having various applications open while gaming on the main display, whether it's just discord or some other streaming software.
  11. Wanted a Z790 motherboard that was micro ATX, but the only one I've found so far is this one from a brand called Maxsun. https://www.amazon.com/MAXSUN-M-ATX-Gaming-Motherboard-Socket/dp/B0BPGSLFPB?refinements=p_n_feature_nine_browse-bin%3A2057507011&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.f5122f16-c3e8-4386-bf32-63e904010ad0 Z790 is overkill for the CPU that I intend to get which is just a locked i5 13500, but I would like the extra PCIe lanes and ofcourse memory overclocking is cool too. I just dunno if I should trust this brand. The board is really stylish IMO
  12. I do plan on making things to sell via Etsy, Amazon or elsewhere.
  13. I've been learning Blender a bit, but the program has a lot of complicated settings that seem more focused on making animation/scenes for digital media than for making hardware like a technical drawing Is there any software better suited for my use case I should look at?
  14. Is it possible to plug my Framework laptop with the i7 1260P running Windows into a dock with a single USB C for it to plug into my peripherals(Monitors, keyboard, mouse, headphones ect.) and act as a desktop?
