  • I'd probably go with some sort of split cover plate/flange (or a regular non-split one if you can disconnect it to feed it through). If you have access to a 3D printer, you can make one that way pretty easily. If not, you can probably find one at the hardware store or online that would work.

  • "Our iMPI scanner is so small and light that you can take it almost anywhere,” Vogel explains.

    Obviously when they say "radiation free" they mean "ionizing radiation free". The term "electromagnetic radiation" includes things like radio waves and visible light, not just high energy ionizing stuff like UV, x-rays, and gamma rays. Literally everything emits some amount of non-ionizimg radiation. Non ionizing EM is pretty harmless unless you have enough of it to cause heating/burns.

  • The higher orbit should mitigate most of those issues. There's more space, so a dead craft is less of an issue. It takes long enough to reenter that most of the radioactivity will have decayed. The biggest issue would be a launch failure.

  • IPA for quick wipe-downs. Dish soap and water with a nylon scrub brush for occasional more thorough cleaning. I wipe with IPA after doing dish soap to ensure there's no soap residue left.

    Definitely no acetone.

  • Be careful with removing the Microsoft keys. You can lock yourself out in some cases. For example, GPU firmware may be signed with the Microsoft keys. This means that your GPU will no longer work and you can't access the UEFI config to fix it. That's not too big of a deal in a desktop, since you can usually switch to the integrated GPU to fix things. But on a laptop you might be totally screwed.

  • Are you the kind of person who enjoys tinkering with things and learning? Or does that frustrate you and you want something that "just works"?

    If you are in the first category, just buy something like an ender 3 or a sovol sv06. They are cheap, open platforms, capable of great prints, and are a fantastic learning platform. If you buy one of the cheaper options to get your feet wet, then you can always spend more on a high end machine later if you decide you need it. The more locked-down systems like the Bambu might be nice for the "just work" crowd, but personally I have no interest in closed ecosystems and vendor lock-in.
