It was such a pleasure meeting you and your dad at Open Sauce! My daughter loved the dispenser and we have a plan to make a fun toy using the Pi. Thank you so much!!
18:47 Glad you enjoyed the split-flap displays! Wish I had had a chance to say hi when you stopped by but it was so busy! Maybe next year?! And thanks for the shout-out! And thanks Denise!
Ha, my friend got one of the pi's and gave it to me at the event. He told me some dude was handing them out. I can't believe it came from you. Would have been cool to have crossed paths. Thanks for the pi!
17:50 It was so nice meeting you and your Dad. Thanks for letting us show you our Mini Vegas Sphere and Kinetic Sculpture! It was awesome chatting with you and your Dad! Hope to see you next year at Open Sauce!
FedEx (Kinkos) Printing shop usually has some pretty intense paper cutters there you can use. Whenever I've had projects like that, I just go to one, use the paper cutters, say thank you, and leave.
Interesting! I also heard about roller cutters, which can be more precise and cut through more at once. Next time I papercraft... I will try to spend more time working on efficiency.
Great to meet you there for a moment at the end of OS! Great rundown of some spectacular projects, I'm looking forward to some new projects with this Pi Pico and following your channel 🍰
Wondered why 480 Raspberry Pis and not 314, then saw the real of Pi. Nice to see you can have Pi and eat it too, (in reverse). What a week! Look forward to seeing some of those Pis at a future OpenSauce integrated into a project.
It's amazing seeing youtube video Jeff transform to anxious in public Jeff. His voice changes, speech cadence, smile. Glad you made it through the TSA. Hopefully the anxiety drops around the TSA the more you do it. Travelling is hard enough.
You might say your dispenser's aren't special but what really counts is you did SOMETHING yourself😊 Thats worth a lot especially in an open source community where everyone contributes their ideas and projects. Doesn't matter how big the impact is, everyone's helping in a way :) I got to experience a similar thing regarding cosplay, but I personally want to aim for a much better performance in the future on my own cosplay 😅
Since you got octoprint already, consider installing klipper on your Ender 3s to bring them closer to Bambulabs speed. Buy an input shaper module (it will connect to Pi via usb, no need to mess with printer wiring) and you can optimize the printers for high speed without a huge drop in print quality. Awesome project as ever!
Thanks Denise! Jeff, make sure you look into the various options in the slicer for your new P1. There are settings to dump material from changing colors into the infill where it won't be seen if the outside is opaque, or to put it into supports, where it was going to get used anyways.
2:30 Is probably the most accurate review of Fusion 360 I've seen in a while. Just wait until you get to fillets. It's hilarious that while a lot of people were struggling to get ahold of Pis for reasonable prices, you can come along with a *reel of almost 500 of them* and then give them away lol.
These were Picos (which were never a victim of the shortage-they've been in stock the whole time pretty much!), but the shortage has also eased quite a bit since the end of 2023. I wanted to find a way to give out full size Pis but Raspberry Pi didn't seem to want to send hundreds of them haha
You must have given away 2 years of Raspberry Pi production, at least that's what it felt like in 2022, lol. Stock is now relaxed but thank you for doing this
Heh, somehow they've always been able to produce the Pico in great quantities even during the shortages. I think the smaller chip on it meant they got a huge number of chips out of one die compared to their bigger Pis.
I got one of your pis on Sunday! Thank you so much. Awesome to see your content. You inspire me to build more project to make awesome things. Awesome to meet you. Have a great day!
Boy that looks like quite the panel you were in. Was there a meshtastic booth I saw in the video too? And saveitforparts who I’ve been watching for years, I was thrilled a while back when you showed up in his comments. Maybe I’ll have to visit next time.
Get a mini PC, install Proxmox, and install octoprint in a VM or LXC and pass through the USB devices. Added bonus is you can run multiple separate octoprint instances on one machine.
It's such an amazing feeling when you have a project idea, and it's of no use nor commercial value, and the crunch time is awful, but the concept is just so adorable that you're motivated to keep at it. Great job!
One word of advice, grid infill is the worst. I’d suggest using something else like gyroid, cube or honeycomb. Grid infill can cause (in my experience) warping, collisions and all sorts of issues.
the name PEZ originates from the (austrian/german) word PfeffErminZ (peppermint) using the first, middle and last character. The owners did not think of a name when the american soldiers wanted more of that stuff so he made it up quickly. now we got a 10 story building with the first advertisement of PEZ just a km of where i live 😅 so technically your's are RaspbErry piZ REZ dispensers 😂
wait wait what, was at the Brentwood mircocenter and saw the same guy with the prosthetic leg. Was looking at picking up a bamboo lab A1 to go with my X1 carbon just front of him, two aisles left of when this was filmed. How did I miss you?! Also, if you ever need to borrow a handheld 3D scanner for a project in the STL area, let me know!
Halfway through I was thinking "Man, Jeff really needs a modern CoreXY printer if he's going to be prototyping and batching" and then you came through with the P1S purchase. Pro tip: You can engage Sport or Ludicrous speed modes in the printer's menus if you really need something fast.
Hi Jeff. I think a video on your 3D printer and your struggles with it. Also a small coverage of Klipper would be awesome. Since upgrading, my Ender 3 V2 Neo with a Sprite Pro extruder prints comfortably at 200mm/s with Klipper. The boost in speed and reliability are quite good! P.S. I also hated fusion when I started out. It was very frustrating
Man! I seriously need to get to stl more! It's hard for me to drive that hour and a half but I keep sewing amazing people that live there while I'm stuck in po dunk Methico 😅
I used Fusion 360 for a bit but had the same frustrations you were seeing. It was easy to see that Fusion 360 was designed more for artistic people than I. While I'm still not a great designer, I have found that OpenSCAD works best for the way my brain works. It is more akin to a programming language. OpenSCAD is designed entirely in a text editor, such as Notepad++ (Npp). I was able to get Npp to format .scad documents with different colors, such as how it does for other programming languages, such as Python. I have OpenSCAD on one display with Npp on another. I just have to hit save on Npp and the object is redrawn on OpenSCAD. I like that I can create many modules that I can re-use on other, non-related designs.
Nice project! I know the pain of looooooong prints, you should put Klipper on your old printers and dump Octoprint. Fluidd and Mainsail are so much better!
Oh man, I was at open sauce and it's too bad that I missed you! I had an exhibit with a Pi Pico based ADS-B receiver. Would have been fun to meet you in person!
Its always nice to see our home city in the videos! I always look forward to the familiar places you end up at in vids. Hope you had a great trip. And dont worry Lambert gives me anxiety as well! EDIT: Also Thanks Denise!
Mag springs alone won't get you on any list at all, don't worry about that Jeff. ;) Creative re-purposing of a product to use in your feed system though!
the windows fusion experience is better in that regard as the front ui is more native (even in vm with video acceleration might be better). however theres still fusion related issues, recently i had to mess about and delete some appdata folder to make anything cloud saving related work again. i swear they do it around when your license expires tbh. also surprised to see you still using octoprint, tried any others out?
Next year, if your dad is going again, I am gonna try and get my dad and I out there. Your dad and my dad run in the same radio circles. My dad was a transmitter repair tech in texas and oklahoma. Now he does something for iheart and the FCC.
To be fair to your Ender 3, it likely could have printed much faster. The quality can still be really good when you set the speed to 180-200% and temp for PLA to around 220C.
Friends don't let friends use Grid infill. :) Use gyroid or adaptive cubic. Grid infill sucks and is more likely to knock your print off the bed. No idea why it's still the default in Bambu Studio...
I alternate between 'Pi Pico' and 'Pico'... but for the wireless one I usually just say 'Pico W'. Then of course sometimes I call other products using the RP2040 "Pico" but that's not right at all!
Possibly for overnighting multiple shipments a few days before traveling to the coast :D But you're right, it's more the fun thought of it. I'm no styropyro!
