APC work well. I have a 600-series connected to my NAS.

Important to pick one that has USB output to the computer (more expensive) - so that it can automatically command a system shutdown as its internal battery reaches low power conditions.

I have a Steam Deck - Proton really does work as well as advertised (for the games I like)

Haven’t played it in a while, but can confirm it worked on my Deck 6mo ago - as a note this was after the EA launcher update. I’d be surprised if it didn’t work for you.

As an Ender 3 S1 owner, and prior owner of Monoprice Select 3D V2, I’m really happy with the Ender. $299.

Just be aware that printers at this price are for hobbyists- and don’t confuse 3d printing like photo printing (push-button basically). 30+ % of your prints are going to fail until you get through a steep learning phase

100% agree. Loved the Steam Controller. Love the Steam Deck. Drop the trackpads and my use case gets 10x smaller - I’d pass on it.

I have 5 family members using Synology Photos (on a 4-bay Synology NAS) and it’s a great solution for us.

I don’t see myself going back to a cloud-based solution - this one is easy for me and secure.

I’ve got SHR running on my storage, and daily offsite backup to another family member’s house (protects against house fire etc for loss of 20yr+ of photos and videos).

Once you offload from your phone, you can pare down the photos remaining on the phone to whatever you want to be left.

Came here for this exact comment

Not in any particular order: Captain Comic Space Quest - Sarien Encounter Rebel Assault Quake III Arena Syndicate

I have access to all of these, issue is just time

I have this exact same Sabrent Rocket. Happy with it.

Cup full of ice to the top + 1/2 cup OJ + double shot of espresso has been my go-to for more than a year. This is good stuff.

Ender 3 S1 - should be able to get for equivalent of $299 USD

Very simple to use, easy setup, works out of the box, Cura defaults work well, and good quality

What brand of filament is that? Looks nice.

I saved $50 and bought DS420+ instead of DS920+

Don’t do this

I’d kill to have the quad core at this point, it’s CPU limited with all my Docker apps

I’ve had best results with Cura, trees, support interface on using “grid” with “0.8mm interface thickness” and “75% interface density”, and when printing with 0.2 layer thickness and 0.1 gap between support and model (which then snaps to the 0.2 layer thickness)

Heading to EAA right now. Looking forward to seeing them cruising around.

Did you share the stl somewhere?

Q3A was a big deal in the late 90’s - I played it all the time on my college’s LAN.

Sadly today I have only one person I know to play this with, and every time I check online servers they’re just bots

I just upgraded from Monoprice Select 3d (not what you want) to an Ender 3 S1 and am super happy. I’d recommend the S1 over V2 for you if you think you might want to ever print flexible filament

I got mine for $299 USD on Amazon

You’ll want an enclosure if you want to contain smell or if you want to print in ABS (of any size, as drafts will fracture the print before it cools)

Thank you for this, wasn’t aware they finally decided to add this back in. I can wait since it’s now confirmed.
