By design it is not possible to install anything better than OSX 10.7.5 on a MacPro 1.1 or 2.1. Apple decided to abandon support for hardware that does not have a 64 Bit EFI bios and these machines only got a 32 Bit EFI. But there is a way to overcome this limitation by using ...

Some of my prints failed, because they came lose from the bed while printed. As a result I started to play around with a number of settings and bed temperature to tackle the problem.

May

2015

Before buying a 3D printer I did a bit of research. For some printers, the build platform is quite small. The RepRap Prusa i3 kits I found would offer something like 20x20x20 cm, which sounded alright for me. Some parts I found on ‘Thingiverse’ would require a build platform of at least this size. Also ...

It was a few month ago when I saw the Trifecta Mini quad at least 8 weeks prior its release. Hobby King did a promotion tour across Australia and also did a stop in Penrith, which is just about 25 KM from my place. This was the rare occasion getting hands onto a HK product ...

Recently I discovered that my Time Pilot arcade PCB is broken. It works partly, its the graphics that is messed up. The cause is an eprom, where all of its legs on one side, just rusted off the socket. Some of these old PCBs are in rough shape. Not always treated well – especially after ...
