I feel obligated to comment based on my name alone. I created this username back in the golden era of Chuck Norris facts.
Interesting. I was hoping this would be a better and brighter D18. But it seems like less output and more functionality.
Wow that’s surprisingly bright given the size and what it is. Neat.
Not sure about the sale price, but the Mini seems like a perfect fit considering your wants/needs. There are some cheaper options that still allow for tinkering but they may not have the same reliability as the Prusa. So unless budget is a huge concern and you really really like tinkering, I’d stick with the Prusa.
Personally, I would add the filament sensor and build sheets. My philosophy is that it’s better to have them and not need them, than need them and not have them. Especially when shipping takes a while.
You may be interested in this project I did a while back. It’s basically what you’re describing with the dummy battery.
Not surprised about the DT8 (though it is disappointing considering the “rating”).
I would’ve thought the D2 would be pretty well sealed though, that’s more surprising.
Agreed.
You can get them for $5 from liionwhoesale.com so I suppose you could buy as many as you want and glue them together lol. Then maybe use a powered USB hub to connect them all at once.
