K1 Max Update
I’ve now had this printer for over a year and I’m still getting orders for the RSA/ID holder, but after a few changes to the original design I can print one in about 25 minutes. Compared to my previous 2 printers, I’ve made very few modifications. The main modification I’ve added is the 270 degree…
piCorePlayer
Since my previous post about piCorePlayer, I have replaced 2 of them that were running on a Raspberry Pi 3A+ with a 3D printed case. Raspberry Pi 3A+ with 5″ touch screen, an Adafruit speaker bonnet and speakers. The 3D printed case can be downloaded from Printables.com
K1 Max
Last November, after receiving lots of orders for my RSA/ID Holder, I decided that I needed a bigger and faster printer. So I bought a K1 Max from Creality. What took 1 1/2 hours on my previous printer could be printed in less than 40 minutes.
New 3D printer

3D printer update

3D printing
I bought a 3D printer last week – an Ender 2 Pro from Creality. I have started with a small one so that I can get some experience printing with it before upgrading to a larger model.
piCorePlayer
I have recently replaced my 3 Logitech Squeezeboxes with 3 Raspberry Pis running piCorePlayer. 2 of them are 3A+s and the other is a 3B. Raspberry Pi 3A+ with 7″ touch screen and USB powered Logitech speakers. Raspberry Pi 3A+ with 5″ touch screen, an Adafruit speaker bonnet and speakers. Raspberry Pi 3B with 7″…
Raspberry Pi 3A+ as a weather station
This was my weather station and was powered by a Raspberry Pi 3A+ running Raspbian Buster lite with pywws. Unfortunately the base station kept losing connection with either the weather station or the Pi. So I’ve now replaced it with a Raspberry Pi running weewx that receives data from the weather station sensors using a…

Learning to program with Python
I asked our daughter the other day if she wanted to learn how to do some programming and she said “yes, she would”. I haven’t really done much programming since BBC BASIC over 20 years ago, so I decided to go for Python. This book Python For Kids seemed to be the ideal book as…
