  • Great, so you just need to figure out how to get files onto the Windows server from your phone.

    Start by setting it up so you can access the server from your phone while you’re on your home network, then get it to work while you’re out and about.

    For step 1, I use CX File Explorer app on my phone, which allows you to add network drives.

    For step 2, I use Tailscale. I installed it on my server and on my phone. When I toggle it on on my phone, it makes a tunnel right to the server, so then I can open CX File Explorer and move files over.






  • I designed and printed a fender for my kid’s bike. It would be totally usable as a fender but he’s a savage so he broke the first one within 30 seconds of me installing it. Then I changed the design to add more support and that one lasted a full hour before he broke it off. So I’d like to print the same design again in a new material. I think either of these two would work, as they would put up with more abuse in different ways. one would be much harder and the other more forgiving.

    I don’t love the idea of the toxic fumes. I don’t want to get an enclosure and the printer is in my home office off of my living room. I could crack a window and let it run overnight but that sounds inconvenient.
