Repairing instead of buying new makes ecological and economic sense. I designed a repair kit to restore the wing mirror to its full function. You need a 3D printer for this.

Move to the KBZ!
The KBZ, the cat meeting centre, a conservatory without access to the house soon became my wife’s study. She hasn’t used it for many months. Time to occupy the KBZ!
Artillery strikes back! X4 Plus in the test
The Artillery Sidewinder X2 has a reputation like thunder, its successor, the Sidewinder X3 Plus brought some long-awaited and useful upgrades, but is a rather basic, old-fashioned 3D printer. Is Artillery’s new Sidewinder X4 Plus the printer we’ve all been waiting for?
Test of the Artillery Sidewinder X3 Plus
The Artillery X3 Plus is the successor to the well-known and popular Sidewinder X2. It is of course faster and better equipped than the X2. But what can the new 3D printer really do?
Ender-3 V3 KE: make an Klipper Upgrade
No sooner had I finished my article about the Ender-3 V3 KE than there was an upgrade that makes my main criticism of the printer obsolete! Here I show you how to install it.
Test of the Creality Ender-3 V3 KE
In the world of 3D printers, the Ender-3 V3 KE is the latest member of the Creality Ender-3 family to enter the stage. But what characterises this printer? What advantages and disadvantages does it have? Especially for beginners, the question arises: Is it really easy to enter the world of 3D printing with this device?

Characteristics of filaments
A list of the most common filaments with their most important properties. Quickly and clearly, without verbiage.
Sidewinder X3 Plus: Adjusting the print head
It’s not just my printer that has a crooked print head, as I was able to see from pictures in forums. Artillery does not currently have this problem on its screen, because the instructions or the assembly at the factory have not yet been adjusted accordingly. But this really isn’t a problem. It can be fixed quickly and easily.
Klipper on old printers
Today I finally managed to get the Anycubic i3 Mega „klipped“ to measure the bed properly. The glass top is anything but level. And not even evenly uneven. Like a floodplain landscape. Really bad. But Klipper takes care of that.
Store filament safely and cheaply
A few days ago I bought filament boxes at a fun price from the Action market. Time for an upgrade and a test.
Drying and vacuuming filament
There is indeed plastic that is hygroscopic. TPU, for example. I didn’t feel like crafting solutions with Ikea boxes and simply ordered a set with which I can vacuum filament.
Decline of an Arcade
Who would have thought that in our time another arcade could go down spectacularly? That irretrievable cultural assets would be destroyed? Partly destroyed wantonly? A report on a rescue attempt that was doomed to failure from the start. I’m sorry if my usual sarcasm and irony completely fall by the wayside here. I am still … Weiterlesen

Mount an Clonezilla-Image
Scenario: We have cloned an ext4 system disk as a backup and want to access a single file from it again. To do this, we need to be able to mount the image, which with the default Clonezilla settings consists of a whole bunch of gzip files. So we still need double the space on … Weiterlesen
Make electricity meters smart for 25 euros
To read our electricity meter, it doesn’t take much. Above all, it does not need expensive equipment. Who wants to buy „professional“ adapters for the electric meter, gets easily a hysterical laughing fit, because they call up full three-digit buzzers. I cannot financially represent this in front of myself, so a DIY solution comes to use. But is it any good?
Phoebetria BitFenix Recon Fan Control
How do you install the ancient Phoebetria software that controls the BitFenix Recon fan controller under a current Ubuntu? This fan controller is still pretty unrivaled even today. Unfortunately, the manufacturer has not been interested in its product since shortly after its launch.
