Paid Tesla Destination Chargers No Longer Available to non-Teslas?

I drive a ‘23 Chevy Bolt EUV. The university where I work has a 6-charger Tesla Destination that costs $0.08/kWh and a 2-charger ChargePoint station that is free. For 6 months, I was able to use the cheap Tesla chargers when the CPa were occupied (obviously they are hard to find open during the day), but suddenly in February the Teslas stopped appearing in the Tesla app. Today I was planning a trip and used PlugShare to find a Destination charger, but it also does not appear in the Tesla app. I have logged out/back in, deleted and reinstalled the app, made sure my car infotainment is up to date, all to no avail.

Have non-Teslas just been locked out?

Nearly finished with my first drawer

Holding my metric impact and non-impact sets. I designed the non-impact myself, measuring everything with calipers and using the Gridfinity plugin in Fusion. I have one more 3x4 on the printer right now, which will cover the rest of my non-impact sockets and leave me with a 2x1 slot to think about…and of course, I have another drawer and another toolbox to layout, too.

Do I need the clips?

I’m new to Gridfinity, using it to organize my socket sets in a modular tool box setup. My first step is getting my metric impact and regular sockets, adapters, extension bars, and three ratchets organized into one drawer. I have three more sections of the grid and five more blocks of tool holders for the first drawer.

My question: the generator I used to create the base gave me a bunch of tiny clips to connect the base together, and it is a type that the “bins” snap into really solidly. If I have enough bins to lock the base together, do I actually need to bother with the clips?

Considering moving from tool bags to Bauer Modular

I am my family’s DIYer for automotive, HVAC, and random other work. Unfortunately, I don’t have good space to store tools in a garage or storage building, so I keep everything Tetris-style in the back of my car in bags. On the one hand, it’s nice to always have it handy; on the other, I can’t use the rear storage in my car for anything else.

I’ve been thinking about moving from bags to the Bauer Modular tool boxes. I like the idea of being stackable and modular, but I’m concerned that they will be less efficient due to not being flexible.

What do y’all think?

The packaging for the Quinn set was insufficient for holding the set together in my EDC bag, so I designed and printed this simple socket case with a snap-shut lid.

I got my Ender-3 Pro a few months ago, and after a ton of reading, experimenting, and a few upgrades, I have it printing with a high success rate - I’m a 44yo man, and I’ve not had this much fun playing with ~~toys~~ tools in ages.

After solving bed leveling, bed adhesion, issues with tall prints getting knocked over, drying filament, etc, my new challenge: printing print-in-place items with moving parts. Right now the bottom layer (at least, could be a few layers) is all welded together. I’ve tried lowering the bed temp, but I start getting adhesion issues. Same thing if I adjust the z-offset in the printer firmware. I suspect my first layer squish is a little too much, but the z-offset on the printer doesn’t seem to have enough resolution to find a middle ground between too much and not enough.

I use Cura. Is there a way I can adjust the z-offset on a finer scale? Any other suggestions?
