Oh don’t get me wrong, we have plenty of apps used by schools, I just don’t know them (yet). But in the end I don’t want to have any of them on my - at least - primary phone.
That printbed looks huge! What printer is that and how big is that bed?
I recently was dumb enough to tell Alexa to power off the smart plug of my printer. 5 hours into that print… While I was looking at it printing… huge brainfart… After that I looked into the void for 20mins thinking about how dumb I am…
I don’t know any of these apps and I don’t know if they are used in Europe too, but if I really have to use some of these apps (and I understand that can absolutely happen), there will be an old/cheap phone laying around with these apps installed, they won’t be on my primary phone.
This is the way.
I had a story in WhatsApp for 3 months every day with a picture that I am going to fully switch to Signal and Threema and won’t be available over WhatsApp anymore. As you said, people who want something from me will have to jump over their shadow and write me over one of those. And it absolutely worked, took some time, but it worked. Some people even have signal installed only to text me. The rest just calls or sends SMS.
I am from Europe btw. and it worked even though WhatsApp is so strongly used over here.
I get your problem, yes. I also tried printing a bumper for my work phone in PLA a couple times before I was able to print TPU and it always took like 2 weeks until it broke. Those materials don’t like being put under pressure permanently. I didn’t try PETG, could imagine it to be a little better, even though it won’t absorb any impact if dropped.
I am so looking forward to my daughters to become students. Definitely going to discuss this topic through with every person I have to. I am so not going to use WhatsApp or whatever similar software again. If there’s no other solution, they can call me or write a letter :D
Yes you are right. Designing a holder or cover for it to hold it in place wouldn’t be a problem for me once it’s soldered in (especially as there are two little screws holding a plastic surrounding of the 30pin I could repurpose). But I don’t have the tools and skill to solder something that small…
You mean like those old GameBoys? The bottom side would look pretty cool, but i could imagine the back of the display would look a bit boring. But that sounds like an interesting project. Do such shells even exist?
Hmm… The zune never was a big thing in Europe, so I never actually saw one in real life. But as far as I know the memory-chip is soldered on, so I don’t think there is an easy way to upgrade. The battery is said to be replaceable though. I don’t mind what hardware one is using. It has to fit your needs, not everyone’s. For me the iPod was the one thing I always had with me since I got it in 2005(?), so for me there is a heavy nostalgic factor that got me to do this.
Thank you! Yes I too wanted to have my local music library on a portable device. That’s the reason I never threw away my iPod even though the HDD was defective since like 2010. I always thought :“one day…“ and now I am super happy :)
Yep you got it :) I wanted to spend as less money as possible. And even with the 6$ card the iPod feels way faster than before. I don’t need 1TB for my music library, so that setup was the best choice for me. I also had a 128GB microSD laying around, but 64GB is more than enough for me.
Maybe, yes :D I think maybe I can somehow get only the back part to be printed without top and bottom, would definitely look more professional. I need to play around a bit with my slicer.
Yes, I use the free version. I tried TinkerCAD, but actually I find it more difficult than fusion :D But I highly recommend getting a 360 CAD mouse for better use.
