With a name like that, I nominate them for President of the Galaxy! I expect great things and many adventures (plus Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters)!

All the cutters I’ve seen mostly rely on the printer’s physical movement to drive the cutting blade, rather than a servo. Technically there’s the SnappingTurtle, by the same guy who made the BoxTurtle project, which appears to be closer to what you’re looking for, but unfortunately isn’t available yet.

That said, maybe take a look at the BoxTurtle project/ discord? Part of the project is the FilamATrix tool head, which is a mechanically activated cutter. There’s also the AT4 tool head and the crossbow filament cutter (which you might be able to adapt to your old printer if you didn’t want to do a full tool head conversion).

The hassle of trying to get VUK strings for libbluray is 90% of the reason I switched to using MakeMKV’s external integrations in my workflow. Still, an easy to access list like this would have saved me HOURS when I was just starting to rip my disks to populate my media server.

Not to be confused with Zombie by The Cranberries

Paleontological?

Wouldn’t that kind of be part of the point? If walkable communities can work in Arizona of all places, there’s no excuse (short of “I literally can’t open my front door due to all the snow on the other side of it") for the rest of the country.

The term sandy-blonde also came to mind:

I tend to keep a fair bit of my stuff clipped to my belt loops, not quite as streamlined and elegant as cramming everything in a pocket, but much easier to tell when something is missing (and far less likely to beat up my phone).

Front left pocket: wallet, multitool (Nextool s11)

Front left belt loop: noise cancelling earbuds (Sony WF-1000XM5)

Front right pocket: phone (pixel 9 pro xl)

Front right belt loop: keys

Hip right belt loop: work badge (when applicable)

Way to summit it up

If it helps, I like Ellis’ guide for tuning my printers.

Depends. If I had to guess, I’d say it’s a USB cable and the other two cables are just for data signal and don’t appear to be used by the device (the barrels connector only has two terminals for positive and negative voltage). Probably, won’t hurt anything, but it would be a good idea to flush cut then and throw down some heat shrink just so the loose wires can’t snag anything.

That’s the direction I’m moving my lab in. Plus a bit of supplemental markdown to keep track of which guides I’m referencing (and which parts can be ignored because I baked it into the terrafom). It’s really nice to know that as long as I tweak the terraform for changes, I don’t have to worry about forgetting what I changed.

Sound a bit like The Sims is having a “sense of pride and accomplishment” moment and I’m absolutely here for it as well!

Dungeon Crawler Carl has to be one of my top two favorite reads in the last year (I’d give it the top spot, but Red Rising was also really good)! It’s a struggle to convey just what makes it so good, but it’s been a fantastic ride. I can’t wait for the next book in May!
