Breathe of the Wild 2 Trailer Analysis: Return of Ganondorf.

Although everyone knew Nintendo would have a surprise up their sleeves for E3, few thought that they would reveal the next Zelda game (although we predicted it right before the show.) Dubbed Breath of the Wild 2, a direct sequel to Breath of the Wild, Link’s newest adventure seems to feature some key elements from the Zelda franchise not seen since 2006. This is exciting, and one of the many reasons Nintendo dominated E3 2019. While on the surface the trailer doesn’t seem to give us much information, if you dive a little deeper, as we’re about to, you’ll find that there are an abundance of clues as to what the next installment in the epic franchise may be about.

Ender 3 upgrades: EZR to direct drive adaptor and all in one rear mounted electronics case

I’ve put some hours into CAD this week, designing two upgrades to improve my Ender 3 that you can benefit from too.
The first is an adaptor to join my two favourite Ender 3 extruder mods together: the direct drive kit from Basaraba Innovations and the EZR extruder. This simple part gives reliable and convenient filament loading, with improved printing performance.
The second aims to tidy up my electronics, which were accessed underneath the printer and had buck converters and other components loose. I’ve created a modular system for mounting the electronics at the back of the machine, to suit the standard Creality board, an MKS Gen L or an SKR 1.3. There are also mounts for TL smoothers, a raspberry pi, a buck converter and two relays. The cooling fan is now much quieter and can be upgraded to a 40x20mm design without issue.

We’re approaching the end of this current console generation, which means developers are starting to squeeze every last bit of juice out of the PS4 and the Xbox One, to make their games look better than consoles games have ever looked.
At E3, we got to feast our eyes on what’s surely going to be the final flourish of current gen releases before the PS5 and Scarlett roll around to hog all the limelight, so obviously, there were a lot of great looking games shown off, either in the press events themselves, or through demos on the showfloor.
In this feature, we’ll be taking a look at what we felt were the fifteen best looking games of E3 2019.
