Decoding Creality's locked Klipper fork
The K2 Plus runs a Klipper fork with a 1.88 MB Cython binary at the core of it. What is inside, how I got there, and what surprised me along the way.
3d-Printing
Learning FreeCAD 1.x by designing hobby rockets
Parametric CAD from scratch through one project: nosecones, fin sections, motor mounts, recovery bays. The YouTube channel that made FreeCAD click. The amateur-rocketry hobby it landed me in.
Building an ESP32 quadcopter from a public project, and what flight control actually feels like
Forking okalachev/flix as a starting point, printing the frame, learning the IMU pipeline, and getting humbled by every step between 'motor spins' and 'thing hovers'.
Hijacking the display header to embed a Pi Zero inside an Ender 3 V2 Neo
Klipper on a Pi Zero 2W living inside the printer base, powered and serial-fed from the stock display header. Plus direct-drive conversion, dual Z, custom heatbreaks, and the rest of the modding rabbit hole.
