They’re not supposed to answer to the DOJ.

Seems that whenever Trump is involved, a lot of things that aren’t supposed to happen keep happening.

The legal system can piss on a person and tell them it’s raining, and you’d be willing to drink it.

Well, what’s out there?

Please provide references demonstrating that the founding fathers defined “shall” to include an implicit inclusion of “only”, “exclusively”, or any similar verbiage.

I’ll wait.

Please point out the word “only” in Section 5 to me. I must be blind: “The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.”

Capital District of New York, here. Weather isn’t out of the ordinary for a typical January (yet). I did crank the pellet stove up a few degrees just to help heat the house a little better. I’ll burn through more bags that way, but it’s better than supplementing with electric heat.

I’ll do that. Should I be using the “Ender-3 4.2.2 mainboard (32bit)” firmware? I’ve read that the Marlin firmware isn’t compatible with the GD CPUs, so I’m assuming the “Ender-3Marlin2.0.6HW4.2.2GD” won’t work.

Update: support got back to me, with instructions to reflash using the latter firmware. The symptoms changed: during the firmware “upgrade”, the 05 LED flashes about once a second. I let it run for ten minutes, but the printer never rebooted. Powered it off, removed the SD card, powered it back on… Still nothing but a blue display, though the 05 LED keeps blinking once a second.

I’m thinking it’s a bad motherboard. Waiting on support, now.

I’ve got a laptop running Linux on it; connected it up at some point during my time with it. The laptop was able to see the USB to serial adapter, but I didn’t poke at it to see if anything was talking on the other side. I’ll try that today!

Checked for that, too. Both the original panel and the replacement only have one “port” for the cable on the back. The board has spots for two more to be connected, but both are missing. Looking at the front of the panel (as if I’m using it), the port is the left most of the three.

Just the basic Ender 3, I believe. No version number, so implied v1. Not a Pro, SE, or other appendment to the model.

That’s next on my list, if the replacement panel doesn’t fix the issue. Figured I’d go with the obvious solution first. Doesn’t help that I took a long look at the list of the firmware available for the Ender 3, and figured I’d cross that bridge another day. Creality does not make it simple to identify what’s what.

I picked up an inexpensive “open box - brand new” Ender 3 just after Christmas. Figured it was cheap enough to give up if I didn’t like it, with enough open routes to tweak and improve if I stuck with it.

The display panel shows only a blue screen after assembly,though. Oddly enough, the only part not sealed perfectly (in its antistatic bag) was the panel. Packing slip noted it had been previously returned as it was “ordered by mistake.” Got a feeling the prior owner swapped the panel out with a defective one, then returned it. Waiting on a replacement to ship out as a result.
