Leveling the Elegoo Saturn 4 build plate
Tap, tap, is this thing on? I have far too many project posts languishing in the queue. Here is one. These are little washers that go on the screws of the Saturn 4 build plate in order to level it by pre-compressing the springs. The “automatic leveling” can’t adjust for lateral tilt and I’m not…

This is a utility for decoding SD card registers. On Linux if you have a MMC type card reader (not USB) then you can get the register values with a command similar to: Replace X with the number of your device (use lsblk). That will return the CID and CSD respectively. The CID contains identification…
