A single 72 cell panel and a recent DC driven solar direct drive compressor. With older technology it takes about 4 12V panels to start the compressor running SDD without batteries. I’m product manager for SDD driven DC compressors used in WHO off-grid fridges and could elaborate quite a while if you’re interested further.
If you have a PEI sheet, try glue stick on the PEI sheet to print. The glue stick acts as a leveraging agent after printing, you can wash it off with warm water - otherwise the flexibles tend to stick too good and ruin the built plate. I use this method on my prusa mini for TPU where I had similar issues. Sticking flexible filament on the textured sheet can be hard, I had success by printing the brim layer in PLA in the past - but that was still on a Makerbot Mk2 which didn’t even have a heated bed.
Nope, that’s pretty much exactly how my brain works, too. Or maybe we both have the loose wires?
What about a framework laptop 16?

I own the 13 AMD and have not regretted the purchase for a second.
I use tidal-dl-ng, simple python gui app you can compile yourself or even just run in the debugger.
