“Silk Shiny Gold” PLA+ from a no-name brand I had lying around. The image only looks that way because the lighting in my office is… Minimal.
I can take a better photo of it (and the spool) later if you wish.
I have been unable to get the HF xFD to light up since I removed it from its box, but granted it has been stuck to a magnet for weeks now. I’m assuming the ferrite core is saturated and will return to normal in a couple days.

Now this has me thinking of a pretty expensive project:
Mobile network rack with some integrated stuff like a local wikipedia server, an integrated system for configuration (basically a desktop to manage on the fly), a sim card/antenna etc, maybe a meshtastic node connected to MQTT through the rack…
Definitely some exposed ethernet ports… An AP…
Could probably drop a battery in there that can hook into a solar panel. Running an RPi or two, a meahtastic node, an AP, and a switch or two shouldn’t*** take tooooo much power to run for a day on its own.
Could be really nice for a large group camping trip. Just have to make it semi-waterproof.
Edit: Okay, throw out the desktop for configuration, that’s too much for too little. A little screen (ESP32? Using the local RPi server?) to just show power usage and some stats would be just fine.

Maybe it’s just me, but that’s the one place I definitely would not want any form of computer.
Now maybe build something towards dealing with power outages, natural catastrophes, or apocalypse type situations, sure.
Watching movies during a power outage? Sure.
Zombie uprising? Check. We got this.

I’m fine with it because camping trips for me are kind of common, longterm, and waay out in the middle of nowhere.
Besides, you can always just tell people that you have no service. Doesn’t mean it will be true.

Oh shit
Duuuuude! That’s awesome!
Now I really want to make one with a screen like that and theme it around something. Might be cool for SDR stuff or a portable rack to take to cons for CTFs.
Did the person publish the NASA themed files? Those are beautiful 
The screen looks like wtf dashboard
