My setup is 10/10, but my lighting is 0/10. Advice?

​

Huge mistake!!! spending so much time picking out the perfect gear, and now i got a standing desk, treadmill, and a massive monitor...I love that my standing desk lets me stand up to stretch, or swap my chair for the treadmill to get some steps in. It’s great for my back. But here’s the problem. I was so worried about screen glare that I chose blinds. My room was already dim, but now it’s basically a dark cave. need your wisdom! How do I get natural light back?

Anyone actually found an earwax tool that works?

​

I’ve tried one of those common cleaners for a bit, but the results feel kinda inconsistent. Sometimes it seems fine, other times I’m not sure it’s really doing much.

Wondering what people here trust for this. Do you stick with simple methods or go for something more advanced? Just trying to figure out what’s actually worth using.

Did getting a standing desk actually improve your workday, or was it just hype?

I’ve been working from home more consistently lately and I’m starting to feel the downside of sitting at the same desk for long stretches every day. Back stiffness, less movement, and that sluggish feeling after a few hours are becoming pretty normal. Because of that, I’ve been looking into electric standing desks from brands like Costway and others. They seem convenient since you can switch positions quickly instead of manually adjusting things, but I’m wondering how much people realistically use the standing feature after the first few weeks. For people who bought one: did it genuinely improve your day-to-day comfort or productivity, or did it become something you rarely raise after the novelty wore off?

Also curious if stability, motor noise, or desktop size ended up mattering more than expected.

Switched off my Ender 3 V2… didn’t realize how used to the struggle I was

​

not really a review or anything, just kinda thinking out loud after a few days with the i7.

coming from an Ender 3 V2, I think I got way too used to doing everything manually. leveling, adjusting, checking first layer like 5 times… it just became normal at some point.

then I set up the i7 and it felt weirdly… quiet? not in terms of noise, but like less things to worry about. I kept expecting something to go wrong or needing to tweak stuff, but it mostly just went through the motions on its own.

speed difference is obvious, but what surprised me more is how little I had to think about the process. I didn’t even realize how much “babysitting” I was doing before until I suddenly wasn’t.

I did mess around with multicolor a bit. first attempts weren’t great, some color mixing issues, but after changing a few things it started looking a lot cleaner. still don’t fully get the whole purge side of it yet though.

printed a couple random things just to see how it behaves, nothing super serious. overall it feels… easier? not perfect, just less effort.

curious if that feeling lasts or if it’s just the “new machine phase” kicking in. anyone else had that shift coming from older Ender setups?
