I was wondering which question, and then I saw it. Damn, I should've read the comments before clicking the link!
Admiring the courage to take the jump (hanging by a EU-approved thread). Even more brave to do so in a skirt. ..but that he can still play during all that baffles me completely

Why don't we use an ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) as storage media?
Think of the advantages:
1) They never forget - unlike HDDs and SSDs.
2) They are very difficult to steal.
3) The lifespan of the average is 60 years (or 48 for the cheaper Chinese copies); compare that with HDD (3 ~ 5 years), and SSD (warranted for 10 years).
4) Incredibly rugged and durable.
5) Very low power consumption.
6) Media duplication is built in (though slow due to large size).
OK, there is a disadvantage: They do tend to generate huge amounts of VB and Python code - but that's probably good for your roses anyway!

They are scared of mice so you would need some other form of input device if not accessing remotely.

Damn! The slaughter of a magnificent theory with a brutal fact!
Off topic: You've order the same 3D printer I did - it's worth spending some time getting the bed level right - I started with the "paper thickness" method but it was a PITA, so I broke out my DTI and a clamp then did it scientifically, followed by a little manual tweaking to get the optimum distance for my bed - it's slightly crowned so my initial test prints didn't work too well at the outsides. That may be due to the rails rather than the bed though, so later tests may involve thin shims under selected feet to distort the base slightly to compensate, I dunno. The test prints are pretty good at the moment, measuring within 0.1mm of the intended thickness from 150mm diameter to a central cross.

Cheers, I have IPA already, I used it for lots of things.
One of my pals back in the UK has the i3 mega and he recommended to get 'adhesive kapton sheets from Ebay'. Whatever they are....I haven't looked yet!

On a side note, did you know elephants lose their teeth which causes them to die of starvation or malnutrition?
Elephants lose their teeth at various stages in their life and replace them with new ones, but they can only do this six times (or seven times on rare occasions).
When they've lost their last teeth it's a slow and painful death from there.
Elephants also have the largest teeth of any animal, even bigger than a whale's (biggest animal EVER!).

Humans have one spare set, and we switch to the final set quite early.

Fake ones aren't counted, as most animals and some humans don't have access to them.

Using your requirements, mothers-in-law would do even better. Not only do they never forget, but they last even longer.
Also, while the RSPCA may complain about the way you treat your elephant, no one cares what happens to your mother-in-law.

However, the npm (nags per minute) is extremely high on Mother-in-law storage, and anything you store is never good enough!
