Found a couple of 11's

I've had the one without the sticker on the back for a couple of weeks now. It's a bit beat up, so I got that one for $40.

The second one on the bottom arrived today right before we got hit by a monsoon.

The driver set it on the hood of my car and it got soaked!. But thankfully the seller did an outstanding job of wrapping it (a bag within a bag, within a bag, so three waterproof barriers) and the calculator itself remained dry. It went for $75.

Another TI-30 red LED

Pic 1) The case that comes with the TI-30 really looks nice. It's the first thing that catches my eye.

Pic 2) This one does have an actual Pi key!

Pic 3) In case you were wondering if it was worth worrying over the difference between Pi and 355/113, here's your answer. No, not for us mere mortals in any case.

Pic 4) The coin pre-dates the calculator! :)

Pic 5) Clean battery compartment!

Lloyd's Accumatic 30

A very pretty 4-banger taking its best shot at Pi (okay, my best shot). Almost too big to be a handheld calculator, but still feels great using it.

Three Casios (Amigos)

I bought a clutch of Casios in Japan, and they recently arrived. The fx-17 doesn't work, which is why I bought the three calculators.

The Pockecom Journal is from the 90's and has example programs in it.

Nice red LEDs, no pesky Pi key (just the way that I like it), and in perfect shape. No AC adapter. Oh well, can't have it all I suppose.

The lower battery won our struggle and I let it sit that way for the photo shoot. I relented since I didn't want to break the calculator.

All for $15.

My X-Max3 has about 4000 hours on it and the toolhead has (IMO) excessive play in all three directions.

All I should need is the bushings (unless the cover is loose, which it could be since I had to open it up to replace the gear on the extruder).

Has anyone replaced their bushings and what did you replace them with?

Thanks!

BTW, here's a collection for the X-MAX3 (and comparable others) from Printables:
