Bro has a mini fridge no keyboard

Why not, I’m sure plenty of companies make the same cable available across many wholesalers?

I was gonna ask if anyone else gotta love those Starbucks lovers.

Adorable. And sad.

Yes, I don’t know what (if any) firmware ships on BTT’s board, but their GitHub page has both Marlin and Klipper builds for all of their boards.

If you don’t know what Klipper is or how it works, now is a great time to learn. With the mods you’re mentioning it sounds like you’re very into printing as a hobby, Klipper is an eventuality. Within the first 15 minutes of having it set up you’ll be wondering why you ever used the stock firmware.

The swap is just about as easy as installing the stock board, except the cables aren’t perfect lengths and you have to look up a pin out for the board to put stuff in the right spot. The port in the front of the printer’s case also won’t line up, not will the mounting holes for the board itself; I just kinda janked mine in and it’s been working fine.

Yeah the new mobo worked for a while, I think it took around 8 or 9 days to ship to US. The tracking site never updated past saying the shipper was waiting for the item (even a week after it was delivered). But I started having some really odd issues with it after a month or two. I’m still not 100% sure what the cause of the issue was or if it was even specifically mobo related (I posted a lot here during that time if you peep my post history), but I ultimately ended up replacing it with an SKR mini E3 mobo, which I’m much more happy with.

Replacing the mobo should just be plug and play, all the cables are labeled, well routed, and are appropriate length, so it’s easy to rewire the stock configuration. Just to be safe though I would grab the newest version of the board firmware from their GitHub page and flash it, no telling what version it ships with.

Not the exact answer you’re looking for, but if the only thing stopping you from soldering a premade button to your case is a lack of soldering iron (and I’m assuming the knowledge of how to use one), depending on where you live they are incredibly cheap and accessible, and for the kind of soldering you’d be doing here you can learn how to do it very quickly, probably a 15 minute YouTube video and some practice on spare wires.

If you’re into this kind of tinkering, you’re probably gonna need to use one anyways, it’s one of those things where you probably won’t use it all that often but it’s invaluable when you need it. I had to rebuild my printer a few weeks ago which included an upgrade to a stealthburner extruder and I do not trust that simply twisting and taping all of those wires together would’ve been sufficient.

See I don’t get this “logic”

All of these ancient buildings had a similar structure, therefore a fantastic secret underwater civilization exists

That’s lower than I expected. When I was last shopping for a new potential printer, bambus were starting at around $400. Good piece of hardware for that price, if you’re not crazy into the hobby aspect of printing and just need it to aid your other hobbies. Have fun with it!

I’d like to invest in this meme format, an inverted form of the “guy looking back” meme

Hey, that’s a pretty good price. I’m not a fan of bambu either, but for someone who just wants to print stuff I don’t think it’s a bad deal at all. That’s less than my stock Neptune 3 and probably a hell of a lot more reliable

relatively low initial investment

How much did you get it for? Bambus are not normally the “relatively cheap” options haha

As the other commenter said, it never works the intended way for me. I want to say that it used to work and an update broke it but I can’t be 100% sure.

I usually just use it to find some sort of peer reviewed recommendations (ie YouTube reviews) - it’s usually pretty easy to tell there who’s being genuine

I’m glad you got something that is meeting your needs so far! Lots of people going the bambu route as of late. If you want a tool that just works, it’s a brilliant machine, and if later down the line you do get more interested in the hobby side of things, you’ll a. already have basic maintenance and use experience, b. have a bulletproof backup printer when things on your project inevitability hiccup and stop working, and c. be able to print your own parts if you decide to go a self built route.
