Oof! That’s rough. With a full shop you Could build it from scratch in half the time. Can’t beat the price, though…

You can double up the handles, which also spreads the load a bit so they don’t cut into your hand as much. It is mainly for compactness and easy marketing

Pretty straightforward leaves some room for ambiguity. You’re a pion until you decide you aren’t

It might be an issue with concentricity. If the nozzle is not perfectly centered it creates a step that the filament can snag on. It can then cause the already softened filament to bunch up during deretraction forming a plug in the heat break. I had this issue with cheap nozzles. Everything starts fine and after a few layers it all stops for apparently no reason. Cranking up the heat makes it better for a bit, before making it worse

Witty one-liner

Almost perfect! Of course Akansas should be Nebrahoma. Rookie mistake, but great work otherwise! Gold star

I hate it too. It should be life/work balance. Life comes first. Work to live, not live to work

That looks like a failing thermistor or heater cartridge. You might want to swap out both the thermistor and the heater cartridge at the same time. Had something similar happen to me and it turned out the failure of the one, likely influenced the other to wear out prematurely. The cartridge wasn’t exactly broken, but seemed to have a less consistent response curve. You can test them separately, but they are cheap enough that it is not worth the hassle
