This print was a bit over 2 hours. I’m honestly not sure how much these magnets will help. If… Read more: Embedded Magnets! - I Found It!

Months ago I was trying to use a program called stm32flash to flash firmware onto an STM32 chip from a Raspberry Pi. It usually worked the first time I… Read more: I Found It! - Plans changed!
