Smash! If you like my models, please like, share, download, boost, rate and all the amazing good stuff! Most Dice Towers are awesome additions to your board game experience. But it doesn't make rolling the dice any easier. If anything, it makes it more fun but also slightly more inconvenient. Smash! resolves this by having an auto reload functionality. Just smash the top and the dice are automatically rerolled for you. You can still drop them in from the top or change them out. But then, just Smash! The dice tower should handle any dice up to a diagonal/diameter of 30mm. There is a printable spring included in the print file, but due to creep this spring can fatigue over time and not lift the top of the dice tower up again (but can easily be replaced). It is therefore advised to use an 80*8mm spring (not yet tested because of Bambu shipping mess, but it should work). If you go the printable spring route, it works better if you lube the coils of the spring and the bottom of the top part (ptfe/silicone) to reduce friction. Depending on the filament used you might need to swap it out once in a while, or upgrade to the coil springs mentioned above. Just drop the coil springs (or slide the printed spring) in place and slide the top part of he tower down. It will click in place and if you use the printed spring you might need to nudge the top backwards. If you ever want to take the castle apart again, there are two holes in de side through which you can unlock the clips that keep the castle together. If the bridge doesn't come down by itself you might need to work the hinges a bit before it becomes a smooth action. If that still didn't help, use a bit of lube on the hinges. If the top parts has issues reach the bottom, lube like described above and make sure the spring is pushed all the way into the slot. If you are not using the provided print profile, make sure to disable supports, whatever Bambu Studio tries to tell you. V2 improvements:Stiffer, longer lasting, springEasier removal of printed springTiled pattern on the stairsBetter Maze (reduced chance of dice jumping out when using the top) V3 improvements:Made tab connection bigger with a filletAdded an M3 grub screw hole above the stairs as backup if your tabs breakAdded thickness to the bottom prevents spring from protruding and makes the terrace a bit heavier Other than that, just Smash! it and have fun!

10in Server Rack EU2251 Spectrum Modem 2U by Dawnchaser
This is a rack mount solution for the EU2251 Cabel Modem from Spectrum. Requires 2 M3x16 screws to lock the modem in place. This is a non-destructive mounting solution, they are screwed into the mounting bracket and rest against the back edge of the modem to prevent it sliding out of the mount. The panel matches my 10in Omada Server and Patch Panels. I mounted mine in an enclosure with these rails from Amazon but anything similar should work: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NKHY1PN

It is no longer safe to move our governments and societies to US clouds - Bert Hubert's writings
The very short version: it is madness to continue transferring the running of European societies and governments to American clouds. Not only is it a terrible idea given the kind of things the “King of America” keeps saying, the legal sophistry used to justify such transfers, like the nonsense letter the Dutch cabinet sent last week, has now been invalidated by Trump himself. And why are we doing this? Convenience.

Key AdvantagesOnly 7g of filament per ring.Compatible spool brand name impressed.Rounded contour helps with traction, avoids pullback errors and stabilizes the spool inside the AMS.Rounded contour lowers the chance of damaging plastic storage bags.Flat variant for full AMS compatibility (see tolerance and compatibility section)200mm diameter variant for slightly bigger spools (199mm is the standard size)DescriptionThis isn't merely a typical cardboard spool adapter. By decreasing its contact area by approximately 50-60% compared to standard adapters, it significantly enhances contact pressure. Consider it akin to winter tires on a car, which generally require higher pressure to minimize their contact area with the ground. Additionally, its rounded edges help stablizing the Spool inside the AMS and minimize the likelihood of damaging plastic vacuum bags. The adapter is not only lightweight, weighing a mere 7 grams of filament, but it is also reusable and easily attaches in the same manner as conventional adapters. This adapter has proven to be a game-changer, eliminating the need for other AMS modifications that claim to address retraction and entanglement issues. Remarkably, I’ve found that spool weights are no longer necessary. However, as with any solution, individual results may vary. Happy printing!TolerancesCompared to plastic spools, cardboard spools are more vulnerable to various external factors, such as moisture, temperature fluctuations, and variations in the production process (up to +/-2mm). Consequently, you may encounter slight variations in the fit, which can range from slightly looser to tighter. In extreme cases, the spool adapter may not fit at all. In these scenarios, you can make the necessary adjustments to the model's scale using the Bambu Slicer for both the X and Y axes. Ensure that you uncheck the "uniform scale" option before proceeding. If your spool's diameter exceeds the default setting, consider increasing the scale by .25%. Conversely, if your spool's diameter is smaller, reduce the scale by .25%, and your setup should be ready for use.CompatibiltyeSun Cardboard Spools tend to be on the larger side of the spectrum. While they can fit without an adapter, when paired with the rounded adapter, they surpass Bambu Labs’ specifications. Consequently, users have a couple of options to address this:AMS Lid Spacer: Utilizing a spacer for the lid can accommodate the larger spools effectively.Custom Backside Rollers: Alternatively, consider implementing custom backside rollers specifically designed to support these larger rolls.For a straightforward solution, leaving the lid open (or at least not locking it) provides ample room for the spool.For individuals who prefer not to alter their AMS and wish to close the lid, I have incorporated a nearly flat variant that aligns with Bambu Labs’ specifications.PrintingWhen it comes to printing, you should produce two adapters for each cardboard spool. It is advisable to steer clear of materials that exhibit low friction, such as Silk-PLA, to ensure optimal performance. Most of the time I use Standard PLA.Other Filament BrandsThis adapter is available for other brand's cardboard spools (Link to Collection):3DGenius3DHojorAceaddityAnycbicAnycubic Pantone SeriesATABblifeColorfulComgrowCopymaster 3DCrealityCUIEEDDikaleDO3DDuramic 3DElegooENISINAEonoEryone / Eryone 2024+eSunFiberonFilafarmFirosFlashforgeFormFuturaGeeetechGembirdGiantarmGNVTNTPGratKitGrautsInlandIWEColorJAMG HE ConjureJayoJustmakerKexcelledKingroonKinluotKretrumLanduLovoonMaertzMchyiMeltbroMKOEMNinetecOEM Mika3DOvertureOVV3DPanchroma (by Polymaker)PolymakerProtopastaR3DRaise3DRedline FilamentReflowReprapperPergearPinuotoPlasportPrima CreatorPrindanoSainSmartSepdanceSmartfilSovolSpectrumSunlu Elite SeriesTinmorryTronxyTTYT3DTwo TreesUjoybioYousuYOYI YOYIXVICOXZN
