That's what today's blog post says and I don't think it's accurate. If you click the "sign up" link to test it, it says:

>Run it on your own hardware

It's a single program with nothing else to install. A Raspberry Pi Zero is enough for one printer, while a Pi 4 or 5, an old laptop, or a NAS can comfortably handle a whole workshop. Linux, macOS, and Windows all work.

That sounds great especially for people with multiple printers who want to avoid using the cloud, but that's not a replacement for PrusaLink which just runs on the printer, no additional hardware required. In the FAQ it says

>How is this different from PrusaLink?

PrusaLink is your printer's own interface: one printer, its own IP address, built into the firmware. It keeps working exactly as it does today.

From this, it seems like Prusa is not going to make any improvements to PrusaLink going forward. :-(

Also, for now, running Prusa Connect Local will preclude you from using Prusa Connect on the same printer.

I've been printing puzzles from the Printable Puzzle Project https://www.printables.com/@PrintablePuzzleProje and this is my latest print https://www.printables.com/model/171054-pillars-of-hercules-assembly-puzzle-by-stewart-cof

Since many of these puzzles have similar pieces, I'm printing them in different colors with color-coded boxes. From the description.

>Coffin himself was a bit dismissive of this design, writing "for all that extra trouble to make, hardly worth it," perhaps contributing to its relative obscurity. Yet while it is indeed quite difficult to produce using traditional woodworking techniques, it is an extremely easy print! In my opinion, printing a copy is certainly worthwhile, and hopefully 3D printing can help many others enjoy this rare and creative design.

(The tolerances on the angle cuts are a little bit too tight but lightly sanding the surfaces was sufficient.)

If you're new to 3d puzzles, I recommend the Half Hour puzzle as a good first puzzle to print. https://www.printables.com/model/171109-half-hour-assembly-puzzle-by-stewart-coffin-stc-29

I thought screws were the only thing that came in left-handed varieties at the hardware store. :-)

I made this box to take to the National Puzzlers' League convention. Original puzzles and design.

{The dials are blurred so as not to reveal details about the puzzles here.)

The box and lock dials are 3d printed. The hasps are from a hardware store and the locks are Masterlock 1523D and 1534D set your own combination locks.

If there's interest, I might create a fully 3d-printable version of this.

The base of this box is uniform except for the walls. 4mm thick. Yellow PETG. Standard filament. 45% infill. Core ONE+

I have not seen this before with same model

It's the color of money and Trump loves money.

That's really want he meant when he said “It never had the color people wanted, but now it’s going to have the great color."

Google has really broken the colorize feature of calendar. The picture compares desktop colors to Android. The text on the darker colors like Tomato and Basil is hard to read on desktop because it uses black text against a dark background. It correctly uses a light color on desktop. The text on the lighter colors like Mango and Avocado is easier to read on desktop but they just show up as blue on Android and iOS (using Google Calendar*). Of course, the specific shades of colors don't match between platforms either. Yes, I have the latest version of Google Calendar on Android and iOS.

(*On iOS native calendar, the colors don't show at all but that's Apple's fault.)

I had to replace the main cable on my Core ONE. When I asked Prusa support where the instructions were they said "use the main assembly instructions" which wasn't as helpful as it could be since they're backwards and include other steps interleaved. So, as I was doing the replacement and figuring out what to do, I took notes so other people could benefit from my experience.

I've posted the instructions on Printables along with a commemorative badge you can print out to go with the rest of your Printables badges.

(Note that I was going to post this as an article originally but articles are harder to find than models.)

I didn't like it when Google moved tab search into the middle of a bunch of other icons and gave it a complicated hard to identify icon. There was a bunch of publicity when they moved it claiming it was an improvement. Now they've moved it back to the left with as far as I see zero publicity. I thought they'd removed it and it took me a while to notice they'd just moved it and changed the icon back.

I'm glad they moved it but curious why they haven't said anything about it.

Recent discussion here about what qualifies as running out of the base path. Here's a great example and a double play as well.

The player got a bit more than 3 feet out of the base path before U1 called him out but he was running pretty quickly.

A simple yet very useful model (to me). I installed these new shop lights in my garage that were wobbling and falling off the ceiling because they're just hanging from two screws. So I made a stopper to keep it on the ceiling and a wedge to keep it from wobbling. Actually, the very first model I ever created.

I was inspired by https://xkcd.com/3239/ Simple Machines so I made my own. Did I come close enough?
