Join AJ and Alex as they dive into the world of 3D printing, weather stations, and home automation. In this episode, they share their latest adventures with flexible filament, such as TPU, and discuss their use of various 3D prints like brackets for MacBooks and custom solutions for better storage and organization. The conversation transitions to weather stations, focusing on automation benefits, local data integration, and energy efficiency. Takeaways: Flexible filaments like TPU are versatile but require longer print times. Weather stations can significantly augment smart home automation by providing real-time environmental data. Choosing a weather station with local data support can enhance reliability and control over cloud-dependent alternatives. Integrate UV sensors in your system for personalized alerts and safer outdoor activities. Tools like a filament dryer can drastically improve print quality, especially for hydroscopic materials. 🏠 What’s on the Agenda: 00:00 Introduction and recent 3D printing projects 00:37 Challenges and solutions with flexible filaments 03:31 Overview of weather stations and their role in home automation 12:05 Benefits of using EcoWitt Witboy for real-time data 33:30 Practical uses for UV sensors and soil moisture sensors 45:00 Tips 🔗 Gear Up with Our Top Tips: Enhance 3D printing with a reliable filament dryer Explore the benefits of advanced weather stations like the EcoWit for precise automation Invest in localized data solutions to prevent automation failure during connectivity issues 🤝 Join the Conversation: We’re not just here to talk at you—we want to connect with our community!
