Why having a 3D printer is actually worth it

POV: your garage camera decides whether you forgot bin day. AI vision + a trash calendar = no more 6am sprints in pajamas.

Just dropped 🎙️ — sat down with to talk about how we actually use AI in our smart homes.

Not the marketing version. The real one.

Two builders. Two completely different setups. One conversation about what’s working, what’s overhyped, and what comes next.

My Bambu Lab AMS 2 Pro stopped pulling filament after just days. Contacted support → got a „replacement hub“ → opened the package → it was THIS tiny part 🫠

Cracked the whole AMS open, swapped it, and it’s running again. Owning a 3D printer = learning to repair it.

„Spider App“ uninstalled—mission accomplished! 🕷️📱
My wife’s Pixel 7a was in desperate need of an upgrade (even if it wasn’t exactly the kind she had in mind 😉). There’s nothing quite like the satisfaction of doing a DIY repair and bringing a device back to life. 🛠️

How My House Prepares for My Return from Vacation!

As we return from our family travels, my house handles everything:
- Heating: Switches from vacation mode back to our preferred comfort temperature.
- Security: Automatically disarms the alarm system as we approach.
- Smart Plugs & Automations: Re-enables all paused routines and smart plugs to ensure everything is ready the moment we walk through the door.

It’s all about creating a seamless, intelligent refuge for the family. Let me know in the comments how you automate your arrival!

Why having a smart lock is simply great

A joystick transplant saved this RC controller.

Both original sticks of my kids‘ Megalodon monster truck broke — plastic nubs snapped off. I suspected the truck first, tore the whole thing apart, checked every motor and wire. Hours on the wrong patient.

Eventually I caught it: the controller. Desoldered the dead joysticks, wired up a generic 2-axis KY-084 module, cut its PCB down to fit the housing, and modified the top cover so the new stick has room to move in every direction. Taped over the second hole.

Not fast. Not pretty. But the truck rolls and the 3-year-old is happy.

I fix before I buy — not for the money. For the lesson my kids take from it: broken things can be repaired, not just replaced.

What’s the most stubborn thing YOU ever fixed?
