I use different email aliases with random words and numbers for every service, and one that has never been used for anything other than Cook Unity has suddenly gotten two spam messages like this. Nothing on my other aliases.

I use a personal website for my email addresses, not gmail or similar so there is no way it was randomly guessed either. I suspect Cook Unity has either had a user data breach or has shared user email addresses with a 3rd party who is misusing them in this way.

The PDF specifically looks like a Geek Squad invoice in both emails. If your email associated with your Cook Unity account has gotten one closely matching this format (Random subject with only a name and attached PDF of random letters and numbers) the past few days please leave a comment.

The indicator noise has randomly been extremely loud for a week or two now. It will be fine one day and back the next, sometimes rapidly switching between loud and normal. Happens with the hazard lights too since it's the same sound/speaker.

It's absolutely not a setting in the infotainment and I've checked all lights are okay while it's happening. Anybody else experience this? Radio is at comfortable listening volume for reference.

If you know how to program it's a great opportunity to dip your toes into reverse engineering. As one of the lead contributors I am happy to help anyone willing to learn.

You can find the project here and a nicer graphic view of the progress here.

The contact page is a useless maze of prompts for product info and order numbers too.

You can find the original post here. After a really rough 5 weeks of use it finally started to split at a layer line. Its more of a rip in the perimeters as the infill is still holding it together just fine.

As stated in the original post, I used 95A TPU with 25% gyroid infill and an internal frame of 100% infill. You can kind of see the internal frame as the lighter lines in the first photo, or the check the last image in the original post to see what I'm talking about. This one still has a good bit of use left but I'll eventually be printing a replacement with 100% infill which I'm certain won't have this problem.

I have been very happy with the Litter Robot, but my cat still manages to kick small amounts of litter all over the floor around it. With it being next to my coffee machine and microwave its not uncommon to wake up to small bits of litter under my feet.

I finally pulled the trigger on a Dreame x40 Ultra, rooted it with Valetudo, and integrated it into my Home Assistant server. Now when the Litter Robot starts a clean cycle, Home Assistant tells the vacuum to vacuum then mop that single room. I also have it set to clean the entire apartment every other weekday. This room went from the dirtiest room in the apartment to by far the cleanest with that simple automation and I can't recommend this combo enough.

Got a used Aeron classic and the one issue with it was the incredibly loose arm pivot index plate. Rather than copy the existing design or use one of the many copies online I made one from scratch in FreeCAD to have a better compliant mechanism suitable for 3D printing rather than relying on multiple materials as the original does.

The index plate is printed in Polymaker Polymax PC and the bushing plate and washers are printed in Overture PETG. After using it a week and playing with it way more than I should it seemed to stay stiff despite the PETG being heavily worn. I think the PETG got gummy as it wore down actually causing it to "stick" in the various positions better rather than just getting loose. Either way my long term plan is to just print replacements if ever needed since its quick and cheap.

Might try printing the bushing plate and washers in TPU next to see how that holds up, but assuming I forget about it and stop playing with the damn thing I think the PETG should last a good while.
