Quick and dirty hack to extend the MK3S print area.

This isn’t going to be a long post. I’m working on a larger project but hit a snag and I didn’t find any easy/obvious solutions online so I thought I’d share what I came up with.

Details will come later when the bigger project is ready to be released so you’ll have to forgive me for the lack of context. Essentially I have a large / multi-hour print that almost fits on my MK3s print bed but is too large to slice as is.

It is surprisingly hard to find a device that can dump details about the various protocols and negotiated standards for a HDMI connection. For how ubiquitous HDMI is, you’d think that there would be a lot of devices that can do this. There are LOADS of devices that can snoop USB and Ethernet, but HDMI is a bit of a different beast, apparently.

After a bit of searching, I found the Altinex TE460-137 could do exactly what I wanted.
