Claude code helped me write an image organizer/tagger in an afternoon. I’m now processing 20K meme photos I’ve saved over the last 20 years, all getting thoroughly described and tagged for use in LightCraft (Lightroom clone). All processing is running on a local LLM.

I really hate the word "scope" I don’t know why, I just do. Maybe because it’s misused in programming. Idk.

Wow. The stock market does not like Apple’s product price increases today. $-14/share

I’ve seen A LOT of scams lately selling all sorts of things "new" for half (or less) of retail price. Scammers (the ultimate greedy people) have figured out how to weaponize the greed of naive people (getting something for nothing.) Be weary of deals that are too good to be true.

At the first rumors of the X2D with the 2nd nozzle being a bowden extruder, I had no interest in the machine. Now that all the details are out, most importantly the price being only $100 more for a number of improvements over the P2S, I'm interested.

As much as people complain about AI, I’ll take it 7 days a week to hold my hand when dealing with seldom used Linux commands vs the bad old days of posting a help message to a online forum, waiting, only to be told "read the instructions" "asked and answered, search before you ask for help!"

Proud of myself. Finished off 6 mostly empty filament spools of random colors, including two oversized spools that don’t fit in an AMS. Only 400 spools left now…

This is interesting. Creality might be getting into the home filament recycling game: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gY-...

Turned on the 3d printers for the first time in 6 months. Now updating firmware, drying filament and desiccants, cleaning build plates. Let’s see what decided to self-retire while in storage.

What’s also great is reading the dialogue with Claude where it stops and says “I need to stop and be honest with you about something important” and reveals it deleted every single photo. Software built for dunces

Apple was stupid easy to cancel a subscription for something I haven’t been using and I replaced it with a subscription at Apple for something I needed, so I’ll call that customer service done right.

Trying to cancel a subscription with a VPN company. They have replaced customer service with an AI chatbot. This has doubled my resolve to cancel and never do business with them again.

After 12 years, finally cut the cord on Adobe. Took a long time (far too long) to find a replacement for Lightroom, but Photomator finally hit 80ish% of the feature set (good enough for my needs) and I took the leap. If Adobe hadn’t got greedy and upped the monthly charge, I’d still be a customer.

Your puny walls can’t contain me!!!

Used up some garbage silk filament to make a tray to hold spools of garbage silk filament. This is AFTER I dried it for hours and hours. This new slicer "fuzzy skin" is amazing!

Finally made an improvement to the @bambulab.bsky.social A1 that it should have shipped with: a Y adapter for one of the filament input ports. Now I can use the AMS OR manual feed with zero changeover. Good for printing one color prints with all the nonstandard spools. *cough* Printed Solid *cough*

Had to order some replacement parts for my @bambulabglobal.bsky.social original AMS. Added some build plates I’ve been wanting to get that sweet sweet free shipping. I think I’m in love with the SuperTack PLA/PETG Cool Plate.

I wonder if @prusa3d.com would consider selling the Core One as a two piece kit (frame and motors as one kit, electronics and hotend as another) so they could be ordered separately to avoid tariffs on orders over a maximum value. 🤔

Got tired of having way too many bambu build plates always in the way so I finally broke down and printed a holder for them. Really impressed for how well this design turned out. (and how much filament it used. Each side piece is 250grams!)

Trying to decide what to do with my first 3D printer, a Prusa Mk3S. Bought it in April 2020 during the pandemic to have in home hobby for the next year or two. Bought some newer printers and the speed increase is stark enough to never power this on.

Finally got all the little magnets in the AMS filament sensor back in place. Was surprised to see one of the PTFE tubes had worn out. Ordered a new set of tubes and decided to get a new spool plate and some rollers for the @bambulabglobal.bsky.social AMS to fix the broken one. (it’s an original!)

Whoever designed the filament sensor on the @bambulabglobal.bsky.social AMS filament sensor deserves to lose their engineering license. One of the little magnets flipped and it’s near impossible to get this thing reassembled.
