Finally arrived: My new desk

At the beginning of December, I chose a Christmas present for myself: a LeetDesk Dark Pro gaming desk. My old computer desk was getting on a bit and simply had to be replaced after many years of loyal service. So I started looking for a replacement and figured that if this desk was going to last as long as my old one (which was over 22 years old), it might as well cost a little more. That’s why I ordered an electrically height-adjustable computer ...

Happy New Year 2024

“It is the End of the year as we know it“ und so bleibt mir nicht zu sagen als: Have fun at the end of the year and celebrate into the new year. I wish you all the best for the new year, a good start and every success for 2024! Viel Spaß, happy new year und bis bald. :) PS: The little rocket in the picture is of course 3d printed and comes in many different versions. :)

3d print: Globe holder

A colleague of mine asked me to build and print a replacement part for his globe. Unfortunately, this thing is right on the edge of what is still printable and generally not an easy undertaking, but here is the timelapse of my attempt, which I unfortunately had to make a little smaller than the original (about 96%), because otherwise it simply wouldn’t have fit on the printing plate. I hope it still just about fits. Since I can’t see ...

3d printing stand for cable channel

My equipment at work with 3 x 27“ displays now takes up quite a bit of space on the desk. Together with the keyboard, mouse, docking station and other things, there is simply not enough room to place anything else so that it doesn’t block the view of the displays. So I thought of something to put a cell phone or a telephone with a stand: A cable duct storage system. There are large cable ducts on the walls of the old building and thus ...

Bambu Lab P1S: How to also make sure that the Orca slicer does not send data

Those who have already read the 1. article on the Bambu Lab P1S by me know that I have limited faith in the printer’s privacy policy. As good as the whole system is otherwise (and you have to hand it to the printer: It’s pretty good in terms of print quality, etc.), the privacy issues with the system are serious. In the meantime, however, I’ve actually blocked everything, so there shouldn’t really be any more privacy leaks. But one ...
