Roovers Bros Inc metal embossers - T-10, T-20, and T-30?

Thought these deserved a highlight. The biggest one is a 3/4 inch tape unit (notice badge for scale), an absolute UNIT. Not sure what name it has, but I'm coining it the T-30.
The rust covered one is the T-20 AFAIK, with the small fully green black handled one being the T-10.

If there's any information I got wrong or if anyone has used these beauties before, I would love to know more about them!

Roovers got acquired by Dymo, which meant the Dymo-Mite wasn't their invention, just a rebranding of the Midgie/handheld embosser. Roovers then separated again? and started releasing their old T-10 and T-20 but modernised and less heavy.

Ender 3 V3 SE firmware version archived

I noticed that no one had checked if the firmware versions that Creality released for the Ender 3 V3 SE were actually archived on the Internet Archive.

Here are the (original) current links for the versions I know of:

Latest (2025) v1.1.0 - Select either C13 or C14 based on your motherboard revision, otherwise the update will fail.

Download v1.0.7 - Only has C13 mainboard support, simpler for those who don't want to risk the slightest potential for bricking.
Download v1.0.6 - USE AT OWN RISK, Creality no longer list it on their website, probably for a good reason.
Download v1.0.4 - Stock firmware that came by default on the C13 motherboard.

Important notes:
Make sure your SD card is formatted with 4096 allocation unit size, is FAT32 and has no other files on it, and update the LCD screen firmware afterwards too otherwise things will look broken

Excessive stringing after upgrading to ceramic (quick-swap) hot-end, stock Marlin firmware

I've tried adjusting the temperature (185c to 220c), retraction (35 to 45) and length of retraction (1mm and 1.2mm). And Z-hop at 0.2mm. Using Creality Print 5.1, with eSUN+ PLA filament.

Nothing seems to resolve it, is this because of the missing pressure advance options on the stock firmware or something else? I didn't touch the unicorn nozzle that was pre-installed in the hot-end, and no oozing near the hot-end as far as I can see.

Silicone bed spacers before and after

Using a tutorial linked in this subreddit, got it pretty close to level! Very happy with this, even if it's technically not perfect
