MGBC-MBL-01 VS SZ-POCO VS MGBC-CPU-X64

April 06, 2023 by Jack V

This is just a quick post about my thoughts on the current MGBC/PoCo boards that currently exist. Each have their own pros and cons, They are similar in that they all play Game Boy Color games, they all fit in Game Boy Pocket shells with no modifications, and they all use some parts from an oem Game Boy Color, some using more than others. You can’t really go wrong with any of them, the biggest difference is there are features that exist in some and not others.

TriangleLabs MK3S Clone

January 28, 2020 by Jack V

When people hear the words “clone”, they’re often dissuaded. Especially in the tech world. Clones usually conjure up terms like inferior quality, Chinesium material, poor craftsmanship, patent-infringing, and disposable. These were my thoughts as well when I began looking around for a new printer to replace my old MonoPrice Maker Ultimate. I heard the horror stories relating to the Anet A8, the printer that literally exploded into flames. This made me concerned and diligent when it came to looking for a suitable replacement. I wanted a printer that had a large and interactive community, an abundant amount of upgrades, continuing support from the manufacturer along with third parties, is open sourced, and easy to troubleshoot. The search involved browsing Reddit threads, searching the Maker-verse, hours of YouTubing, and the gradually it came down to two printers that caught my eye: The Ender 3 or a Prusa MK3S.
