I've been putting finalizing my in-wall/in-ceiling speaker connections ... It's time to commit so I can prep the walls and ceiling for them. The plan was to find a connector that was attractive and unintrusive as there will be lots of these will be showing. It needed to be less than an inch deep to fit with-in two layers of wall board. I also wanted something which didn't stick out too far from the wall. Needless to say, I didn't find anything I wanted ... so I did what I always do ... designed my own. I had two versions in mind: one with the typical dual banana plug spacing and another which I though might be more interesting ... so I prototyped that one first: I designed it so it would accept a snap on cover ... just in case I didn't want to see the connectors. Anyway, I'll probably prototype the other soon. I'm sure i've seen something like that somewhere. I was looking for recessed plugs like this many years back and opted to cover over the main plates for now until i actually needed jacks. "Those who preach the myths of audio are ignorant of truth."

I can't think of any projects for which it would be so handy. In your case, very handy. "Those who preach the myths of audio are ignorant of truth."

I've been reading about the various types in MaxPC mag to which i subscribe and have for almost two decades now. It is interesting stuff but i still can't think of a lot of things i would use it for to justify the cost. "Those who preach the myths of audio are ignorant of truth."

(Otherwise you'll spend 10 minutes leveling the bed before each print ... and if you don't do it, or don't do it right your print will probably go badly (and you get to do it again.)

Do you have to learn Chinese first? https://www.creality.com/goods-detail/ender-3-v2-3d-printer Are the materials recyclable as plastics go?
