„DO NOT TOUCH.” 😅

There’s that legendary sticker on every engineering project that says: “DO NOT TOUCH.” 😅 But seriously… then HOW are we supposed to take it apart?!

There’s that legendary sticker on every engineering project that says:

“DO NOT TOUCH.” 😅

But seriously…

then HOW are we supposed to take it apart?!

In this video, that’s exactly what happens:

A Creality extruder tries very hard to convince us that it’s assembled in a perfectly normal way…
then after removing 2 screws, you suddenly feel like you’ve entered an escape room. 🤣

Wires everywhere.
Hidden design choices.
“Why is THIS here?”
and the eternal classic:
“This definitely wasn’t designed for servicing…”

The best part is that every 3D printer technician knows this exact feeling.

At some point during disassembly, you’re no longer repairing something — you’re taking part in a spiritual journey through the engineer’s state of mind. 😄

🔧 Repair
🔧 Service
🔧 Reverse engineering
🔧 “Who designed this?!” moments

And of course, by the end, everyone says:

“Okay… let’s somehow put it back together.” 😅

Parkside Multi Charger: Controller Architecture for the Basic and Pro Versions

Parkside Multi Charger: Controller Architecture for the Basic and Pro Versions Development of the Parkside Multi Charger has entered a new stage. During the latest planning phase, several controller and power-switching architectures were compared to find a solution that keeps the Basic version easy to build while leaving enough room for the more advanced Pro model.

Parkside Multi Charger – New Development Milestone

Parkside Multi Charger – New Development Milestone Development of the Parkside Multi Charger continues to make steady progress. Recent work has focused not only on hardware and software development but also on establishing the project's public identity and communication. The project currently consists of two separate development branches: Parkside Multi Charger (Normal) and Parkside Multi Charger Pro.

Anycubic Kobra 3 toolhead – successful firmware backup and the first steps toward a CAN-based Klipper toolboard

Anycubic Kobra 3 Toolhead Project – Another Milestone: Successful Firmware Backup and Preparing for a CAN-Based Toolboard Today marked another major milestone in the Anycubic Kobra 3 Toolhead project. Our objective is not to modify or preserve the original firmware. Instead, we are developing a completely custom firmware that will transform the factory controller board into a Klipper-compatible CAN Tool MCU with only minimal hardware modifications.

Another Milestone Reached in the Anycubic Kobra 3 Toolhead Project #2
