  • The Litter Robot 3 is a well built and well designed workhorse. I think they cost a little more new than your budget, but they may have a model right around 500.

    Depending on your comfort level with the idea and where you live, you can sometimes find them on the used market for a couple hundred dollars, or even occasionally a free non-working unit. Replacement parts are easy to get and install.

    They have a WiFi model that can use an app to alert you when the tray is full or something unexpected happens, but it works just fine without the app or internet.


  • Do you have a single MGN rail on X or two? It’s easy to end up with twist on dual X rails that can be a bugger to try to straighten out.

    Also, are you doing a good heat soak before printing, and do your probe results change at all before and after heat soaks?

    If you’ve got a beacon on there, it seems like it would be well worth cranking the probe points way up.

    If it’s simply bed adhesion, definitely give the dish soap method a try if you haven’t already.

    This article reads like AI slop.

    Tuxedo is continuing work on a Snapdragon X-Elite laptop but haven’t released it yet because Linux support is lacking around the SoC. They’ve made some device tree commits around it to the kernel. That’s it. Saved you a click.



  • I’ve got an R3 at home which generally works well. Flashing mainline OpenWRT was pretty smooth and easy. It’s been a while since I did the bring up, but I do remember having to jump through some hoops to get a partition layout that would utilize the onboard storage properly. By default it only left 10mb to install additional packages which seemed to defeat the purpose of having all of that emmc available. That may have changed in the more recent releases.

    One bug I encounter regularly is that some (maybe older?) Apple devices seem to be able to lock up the router. Adding watchcat can get the thing rebooted in less than a minute in the event that it does hang, which makes it barely noticeable, but it’s not an ideal fix.

    Depending on the devices you have in your house that might be a showstopper or of no consequence at all. Otherwise WiFi speeds and signal are great, as are general performance and reliability except for that bug I mentioned. Haven’t used VLANs but it’s all there and the flexibility of OpenWRT is great.
