TP-Link EAP110-Outdoor V3 Review

 Short review for today, I needed to extend my wireless coverage to the back yard. My son likes to listen to music when we are playing outside and lets just say his music tastes are not on my vast library of stuff I was able to get on Napster. So we use youtube and spotify to play songs and a few data overages later I decided we needed an upgrade. I didn't need anything super fast just, 300Mbps speed is plenty fine but I did want to have coverage over the entire back yard. I also wanted a POE solution so I just had to worry about burring one cable and the low voltage makes it safer as well since I ended up mounting it on his playhouse.      Installation was a snap, a few screws into the mounting plate and plug in the CAT6 cable and it was installed. Once I verified I had power I logged into the  Omada APP and was able to find and setup the WAP in a few minutes.      Right now about 15% of the total network band width is using this access point so I'm pretty happy with it.

Creality CR-10 V3 review

 Creality CR-10 V3 I have been in the additive manufacturing space since 2007 when the company I worked for bought a SLS 3D printing machine. I have since watched the space take off and more importantly the prices come down. SO after much research I went ahead and bought a CR-10 V3. Some of the key features that I like included with the 3D Printer 1. 300x300x400mm Build space, this is huge and will cove most everything I wanted to print. 2. Full metal hot end, I wanted to be able to print ABS and PETG so this was a must for the higher print temps than just for PLA or PLA+ 3. Direct Drive for filament, I much preferred the filament being feed directly with the Titan drive over the bowden tube setup found on most printers in this price range.   4. Huge community, eventually you are going to run into a snag and having a large user base to help you out is amazing In January 2021 I purchased the unit on amazon for $499, it has come down in price since then You can check current price here:
