Wire brush bristles can come off, stick to a grill, transfer to your steak, and best case scenario stab you in the mouth... Ask me how I know. Worst case you intestine.

Stick to the biodegradable fibre ones, or this seems like and ok option.

But for the love of god, do not use a wire brush.

    The previous user had printed some plastic plates to attach the front and back. However because I stacked it 20+40 top and 40+20 bottom, screwing them together also helped hold everything.

    NGL, it was a fair amount of work, but way less printing and no custom glass/plexi. It's probably a bit more expensive, but not prohibitively.

    However, I'm very confident this is way sturdier, better sealed and much quieter. Will be more so of all when I add one last set of connections in the bottom and the sound dampening up top.

    A friend gave me this Prusa MK3S+ a few years ago and it came inside a set of Besta storage cabinets, 2x 40cm deep ones. Its was always a bit unwieldy in my small apartment and since it was on the ground, I have to always bend down to do anything.

    I'd been searching for decent options for a while and it seemed like the cabinet I really wanted was only available at IKEA USA. I'm in Canada so I decided to get a bit creative.

    This cabinet is 60cm deep and 2 units tall. I joined a 20cm and 40cm Besta for both levels, but offset the joint. Top is 20+40, bottom is 40+20 (when looking from the front). That really helped with rigidity and then adding some plates across joints at top and bottom.

    The side vents to the window, which, if I'd measured right the first time would have been 1 hole instead of 2, but its not visible so, meh.

    I'm incredibly happy with how this turned out. My next step is a rubber pad to sit the printer on and then adding so of the vehicle sounds dampener to it as I've seen someone else do. Though, truthfully, even the cut up yoga mat under it has made a massive difference.

    I get my shots just about every year including this one. I've been sick 3 times since October. To be fair, I have a suspicion it's been a mild case of covid, a rough go of the flu, and a cold. But fml it's been a rough few months.

    I put my keys and wallet on top of the fridge when I used to have to go to the office. When I first started living with my wife she move them for a week to where they were "supposed to go". I forgot my lunch most of that week. I quickly established that the fridge was the "correct" location and generally never forgot a lunch after that.
