I've got a Precise 111 tube tester and it is a very solid and featureful piece of gear.

Mmm, nice: would like to have one of those.

BTW, I trimmed your horrible URL there. Everything after "?" is junk, except this part at the end, &sclient=img&udm=2, which gives you images.

I have the same Creality space pi, if I had to eyeball it hmmm maybe ~60-80W average on the PLA 50C setting. I've stuck the power meter on it so I'll edit my post after 8 hours.

I usually only print in PLA and that's not too fussy, I've seen people recommend somewhere between 6-12 hours depending on the filament. For some filaments you will print directly from the dryer (I do that for everything anyway).

For bulk storage of opened spools I have a storage bin/tub with some desiccant.

edit: my crappy little plug in power meter only reads to kWh to 0.1 least significant digit, it shows 0.2kWh after 8 hours. If we're generous and call it 0.3kWh then that's not too bad at all, maybe 1% of the cost of 1kg of PLA with my electricity costs.

I was definitely over-estimating it at the start because it hasn't fully reached thermal equilibrium yet, I'm actually pleasantly surprised hahaha.

Just queried Google and copy-pasted the URL line here but, nontheless, you're right. I corrected the original post with your proposition.
Thanks!

For singles day I ordered one of those step down dc power supplies. USD32 shipped sheesh, what a great time to be a hobbyist. I usually get stuff from Aliexpress in a week so it's not much slower than mouser/digikey.

I'll be using it to "recycle" a wall wart to power some LEDs for a reading light. Hopefully I get it before the sale ends on the 19th, I totally forgot I needed a second or maybe even a third one to tint mix...

As a replacement for a shot  :palm: 22µH inductor as part of the mains filter inside a HP461A, I bought a set of 200 pcs of 1W 10% inductors from Ali, 10 pcs per value for 4,59 € shipped to Europe. Arrived within 8 days.

I did some checks with the DER DE-5000 LCR meter: They are inductors indeed and well within spec.  :-+
