Cameras For Printer

I have a dedicated Print shack set up for my printer, and winter is on its way. I have decided to break down and buy a camera so I can keep an eye on my prints from the cozy warmth of the house. Yes, I had an empty insulated garden shed. Long story, it housed bats for a previous tenant who had been sent merrily on his way after one too many disagreements.
I am slowly converting it to house my new hobby.

For the most part, the shack is off-grid for lighting, but the heater and printer are still tied to the grid. Has anyone out there tried running one of these things off an inverter? I know, at least for the moment, the heater draws too much current to do so. I would have to invest in more panels and a 3000-watt inverter, and most likely a few 6-volt AGM batteries. For now, that is just too many greenbacks for the savings on hydro it would afford me.

Trees. What are your thoughts?

I have also learned that it is all about the trees and the base that supports them. While it may seem wasteful to have a large base and many trees for support, not having the proper base and trees can be the difference between a successful or failed print. It costs both time and filament.

New Hobby

I have not been here for a while. Work has kept me busy to the point of near exhaustion. It’s time to take back some personal time. As the post says, I have taken up a new hobby, 3D printing. I have long wanted a 3D printer, but the money just wasn’t there. I bit the bullet and bought one. Two weeks ago, a Flashforge AD5X multicolor 3D printer arrived at my doorstep. And I have been busy finding things to print. Goofy things, practical things, and fun things have been printed. I will be sharing some of these things later. I just wanted to check in and say Hi, I am still here.
