When you buy a cheapo 22lbs anvil and realize is not hardened at all. Is there a way to treat this?
I got this anvil bew for less than 1€ /lbs, and the marks you see are imprints from a iron nail i hammered cold a little to test it. I would not expected it to be this bad, it looks like its completely unhardened. Is there a way to fix this, or is it not possible or not worth it for a 20€ anvil?

How to find out my battery health in a stock system?
Hey, i have been using my unmodded switch on and off since 2020, and i feel like the battery is starting to give up. On phones you can just plainly read out the battery capacity in percent (not the current charge though), and you know to swap the battery when it goes below 75-80%. Is there a way to find out that number on the switch? I cant seem to find it in any of the settings. I want to find out the exact state of my switch, as well as the joycons. Right now i just have a nebulous idea on how long it feels i have between charges.
Thanks in advance.

First little tinkering project, maybe someone can help me
For a costume i want to build a wizards staff that shoots bubbles. The bubble gun i have disassmebled for that takes 4x 1.5V AA batteries in sequence, therfore the motor should run on 6V, right? The motor is in a housing i kinda dont want to open so i have to guess. My gestion is if i can simply substitute it with a 5V power bank, as i dont want zo deal with loose batteries in the project, i would habe to print a housing for them and thought it would be much easier to just solder a USB-C connector to the motor and attaching a powerbank that can be easily swapped and charged. Alternatively i thought about using a 18650 rechargeable battery, though that might be to low with 4.2V, right?
The reason that i am dusassembeling the bubble gun in the first place is to arrange its components in a straight line to put them into the staff, the toy itself is very bulky and has a lot of unused space inside.

Workflow to build the core one with the buddy camera and filter.
Hello, i am about to build my core one+, and i already bought the buddy camera and filter upgrade. It is by no means my first printer, so i do not anticipate any problems when following the instructions. I have, however, not found any good resources on how to install the camera while building the printer, as i understand that installing it after you have a working printer it includes taking half of it apart again. I could not find anything about that in the online core one+ building guide, so that i know at which steps to add what from the camera and filter into the process.
