I'd be very interested in reading about the kinds of hardware projects you're doing with esp32s and your printer!

Something I've been doing is making an automated hydroponic tent. Temp, humidity, EC sensors and a few servos to control nutrients all feed into an esp32 + servo controller and broadcast data through a local webapp. Just need to add a camera for timelapses and remote viewing.

I have a (very much!) enhanced version of https://github.com/anthropics/claude-desktop-buddy https://github.com/anthropics/claude-desktop-buddy running on a different ESP32 board with a case: https://github.com/nlothian/claude-desktop-buddy-FNK010B/tree/main/3D-print/v2 https://github.com/nlothian/claude-desktop-buddy-FNK010B/tre... I have a bunch of Home Assistant controls using a variety of custom controls and cases. I have a custom version of Seeed's ESPClaw (https://github.com/Seeed-Projects/espclaw https://github.com/Seeed-Projects/espclaw - there are a lot of other ESP Claws too) with a case. I'm working on a Tamgotchi-style mini-game device using ESP-NOW to connect with nearby devices. Lots of other random projects at various stages of development.

  Any chance you have or could post pics of those custom HA controllers? Seeing custom interactables and how they integrate with ppl's environments are always suuuuper interesting

About $25 in total I think.

      I love the fit and finish on the case. Neat to just one shot little control panels like that. Have you thought about making more? Context sensitive based on the room or activity in that area?

        Yes the fit & finish is pretty nice. Currently it's mostly a case of building them to solve specific problems, and I don't really have much else I need. This one controls my temperature and lighting for when I don't want to pick up my phone. I have physical switches for most things too.
