The all important decision tree:

Buy cheap tool -> if it breaks -> buy good tool

Ah, it’s new so it probably does the input shaping for you. There is probably some calibration step where it moves the head around and kind of twitches around a bit. Though modern printers can do calbration while printing.

It builds a map of how the machine wobbles due to the mass of the print head moving and then slightly tweaks (“shapes”) the inputs it recieves to cancel out the wobbles. Without it, the layer lines would be slightly misaligned and that stands out when you’re printing flat vertical features.

That’s a good quality print, you have it dialed in nicely.

Speaking of neat festures, if you enable ironing in your slicer, it’ll do a slow pass over the top surfaces with a small amount of extrusion which will fill in areas on the surface where the adjacent layers didn’t quite fuse together, like above the #5 tube. It’s purely cosmetic, an alternative is to print “upside down” so the top surface of the print is textured from the bed.

Almost anywhere that you would use a latch or compliant latching mechanism you could use magnets.

I print nameplates for my office worker friends and add a few under the surface to give a place to put loose paperclips. Also, in bag clips (for chips and stuff) so they can stick to the fridge when not in use.

It’s like bearings and assorted bolts, you just keep a stock of them handy because they’re so useful in general when you’re making things.

Nice magnets, bro

And those layer lines 🤌. No ringing, input shaping or solid work bench?

For around $1 million USD, you would launch it into orbit.

This would not cause any additional wear and tear so it would look pretty normal (through a telescope).

We’re so used to interacting with corporate “customer service representatives” that actual good service feels illicit.

I don’t want to see a dissappointed customer, but with a little humility and generosity they can be some of your best advertising 🙂

For ad blocking it, doesn’t matter at all.

DNS over HTTPS is done to prevent your ISP/anyone listening to your external network traffic from gathering data about your web traffic that you’d like to keep private. It’s more of a privacy thing than anything else.

If you want to ensure that your DNS requests are not altered by potential adversaries you could also configure DNSSEC, but that’s an additional step that usually isn’t needed for most people (unless you’re extremely rich, politically exposed or in a similar risk category)

Sorry for responding to a bit of an old post, but if you’re using Linux you can use cloudflared to handle DNS over HTTPS and then point your Adguard at the local ‘DNS Server’ that cloudflared creates.

Instructions are here: https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/dns/cloudflared/

Only the ‘Configuring pi-hole’ section is pi-hole specific. All you’d need to do is to determine how to set AdGuard to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 5053 instead of whatever DNS server it’s currently using.
