I'm a bit more restrained than some 
mounted my SS nozzle to a vise via locking pliers, applied heat gun and just used hand power.

I’ve had some arcade parts from sparkfun floating around on my desk for ages. So today I finally got around to making a case for them.
Turned out quite well I think. I plan to use it on my C64 and Amiga’s.
I’ve published the design on Printables:

I do need to finish the wiring tho.

Happy day! Based on your delivery timing looks like you'll have a day to fondle your supplies and accessories before the printer arrives. 
I don't know if you've seen it already, but great introductory/overview video of the SV05 here (from "the elder Jesus of 3D printing" - you'll get it when you see the guy ):
And SV05 assembly vid here - I found this very helpful during assembly to confirm I had orientations/connections correct - and make sure you get those corners square! 
You're going to want something like this as well to keep your filament dry: in whatever ziplock back or tupperware container you keep it in:

And, a number of us printed these to hold the dessicant (not required, you could just put it in a mesh bag or similar):

Fun times coming, warn the family you will be a little occupied for a while...

Shhhhhh 
NOW you tell me, lol. Next order!
Hoping to get it built this weekend. @danabw, you mentioned earlier that you had some kind of project/setup file that we could use as an example settings wise for octoPrint. Could you send that over? bptworld AT g...
Also, thanks to everyone for the recommendations and knowledge. Going to be one heck of a learning curve!

I follow the Functional 3D Printing group and F*** That, I'll Just Print It group on Facebook. They're usually very specific one-off custom solution posts, but still pretty amazing what people do.

Wasn't aware of that one - thanks for the link!
Oh noes...more forums to follow.
Maybe we should create a catch-all group to combine all our overlapping interests so we don't have to visit so many groups. It's a Hubitat/3D Printing/Unicycling group! You do ride a unicycle, right? Right???

Sure, you're going to need two things for that.
First, an updated version of the Marlin firmware for the printer. I compiled it with the changes necessary to support octoprint and a run out sensor and one thing more and I can't remember right now. 
So I can send you that updated firmware file. and a summary of the setup in octoprint, Setting up octoprint itself on a pi is a piece of cake. There's actually an octoprint image available from the standard raspberry SD card writer. So you can just select that and then you're good to go everything you need Will be available when you boot up your pi on the new SD card image. Then some very minor setup in octoprint and you're off.
Oh I remember now. The other thing I enabled In the firmware is something called meatpack. If you add a plug-in into octaprint it speeds up communication of G-Code to the printer through compression.

still vacillating on pulling the trigger on SV05 here... looking more into the whole klipper deal (stupidly sold the last RP4i I had after switching from HA to HE) so assuming im going to have to get hardware for that too - i'm wondering what options - like do I need to find another RPi or other board options? also looking at this Creality Sonic Pad which has Kipper built in 
maybe i need to go in the other direction - these fisher-price plug-n-play types are starting to look more appealing

Printing again! Good start...

AFAIK Klipper can run on any Linux box, though the recommended platform is a pi. There is an excellent utility called Kiauh that makes the Klipper initial install on a pi very easy: GitHub - dw-0/kiauh: Klipper Installation And Update Helper
Bummer you sold your pi4...
Klipper has been run on other machines. The Klipper host software only requires Python running on a Linux (or similar) computer. However, if you wish to run it on a different machine you will need Linux admin knowledge to install the system prerequisites for that particular machine. See the install-octopi.sh script for further information on the necessary Linux admin steps.
Octoprint is a great option if Klipper via an Rpi is too difficult/expensive to support in the short term...
Yikes that's a lot of printing on air!
Should be fun.

Impressive...printing in the worst possible orientation like that should be like a 3D printing torture chamber. Maybe if I get bored one afternoon and want to test my printer's mettle...
The Hubitat 3D printing community is growing!
That’s a good one, thanks. I occasionally scan through the normal 3d printing subreddit, but most of the stuff there is less practical.
