I love my Voron 2.4, but when I’m going to print something relatively small I go to my Voron 0.1, mainly because the Voron 0.1 starts working almost immediately after I push the upload button with the STL on it.
This is because the Voron 2.4 does a few things every time it will start printing, like gantry leveling and mesh.
Mesh is when the probe test many points on your print plate to try to avoid problems with the surface of how flat it is, but again, when I go to print something relatively small in the 300x300mm space my Voron 2.4 has, I don’t need the printer to take many minutes checking ..read more

I believe FPV starter kits are a double side sword, because manufacturers try to squeeze a lot in a small price tag, which can either go very well, or very bad. Either way, beginners really like the idea of having one package with everything they need to test the FPV world, and it’s easy to see why. Understanding all the terminology and options available can be quite overwhelming when you are new to the hobby, and the simplicity of having everything ready is very well received. As an additional point, this kit comes not only ready, but in a pretty nice bag!. In this review ..read more

When I started in the drone hobby I didn’t really understand why there were so many DC charger models vs. few AC chargers.
Watching some videos and getting some more experience have shown me some of the reasons.
To put it in very simple terms, the main difference is that AC chargers have a built-in power supply, while DC chargers don’t. Meaning an AC charger can be plugged into the wall directly out of the box, while a DC charger needs “another piece”.
A lot of newcomers buy a charger for their drone, to later realise it’s a DC charger and need an extra part, which is the power supply.

Ever since I got the Betafpv X95 v3 I’ve been trying to find the way to make it fly without all the issues that this drone is plagued with out of the box.
Let me start by showing what are those issues:
1.- Jello
Clip 1: Betafpv X95 v3 jello - Out of the box
2.- Propwash
Clip 2: Betafpv X95 v3 Propwash - Out of the box
The unit I got is the DJI version of this drone. It comes with a Caddx Nebula Nano, which almost everyone complains about.
In my out-of-the-box review, I said I didn’t find it too terrible, mainly thinking about the colors. The nano is very saturated, and the colo ..read more

It’s not a big secret that digital is the future of FPV. And it’s not a big secret that DJI has done a fantastic job delivering great quality, of course, at a cost, their stuff is not cheap, and not open, but nonetheless delivers great quality.
The question around the community has been, is it worth it?
There has been a lot of discussion around latency, around the fact that you don’t get a “warning” like in analog when the signal is getting weak, or the fact that DJI signal seems to kill any analog signal around making you a bully when flying with friends. I see all this as excuses to avoid tu ..read more

Boot up video for Klipper Screen
I’m all in when it comes to making my things a bit more unique.
I recently did a mod on my Voron 2.4 which was to add a touch screen and klipper screen to control my printer, which is great, and I then discovered a way to turn off all the booting information you normally get, and turn it into a nice video.
My plan is to show you how to do the same in case you want to copy this work.
What you need:
Your raspberry PI already configured and running klipper screen
A touch device connected to your PI
A computer to access your pi through SSH
