Weeknotes -- August 26, 2025 post
A day late but not a dollar short.
What I Did
- Built first pass an our audit logging scheme -- first attempt is dumping JSON of the objects into the database along with the date and what kind of action was stored
- Continue to not be able to figure out how to bend NeoVim to my wishes and have it run our Pest tests inside the development containers like I can do in PhpStorm
- Has a great week with my pretend baseball team, going 6-0 and making up ground in our playoff structure
- Finished all the filament calibration prints on my small printer, now can start building parts for the larger printer again
Longer Threads
As someone who suffers from a tendency to pick tasks that exceed my current skill level, it has been a lot of growth that I have slowed down with all the 3d printer upgrades and keep the pace slow but steady. My Sovol Zero prints fine now, which is good. My Sovol SV08 has not printed anything in over a month as I wait for a replacement fan to show up.
Ironically, the shipment of the first fan didn't happen as Ali Express silently refunded the order when the vendor "could not provide tracking data". Not to worry, I have ordered from Amazon instead. It's okay to hate Amazon for a lot of what they have done, but they make returning things that do not work or fit your needs super easy.
So the plan with the bigger printer is:
- replace the sheet metal bottom cover over the electronics with a 3d printed one that uses better fans. I have the fans already
- swap out the current toolhead with the one that comes with the Sovol Zero. I have the toolhead and all the parts. Minor wiring and crimping seems ok
Current mood: 3/5
