Mr. Plankton -2024- Web Series Here
If you’ve been scrolling through Netflix lately, you might have paused on a hauntingly beautiful poster: a man and a woman standing on a rocky shore under a moody sky, with the title Mr. Plankton floating above them. Don’t let the quirky name fool you. This 2024 Korean drama from director Hong Jong-chan ( Juvenile Justice ) is a raw, poetic, and surprisingly funny exploration of abandonment, legacy, and the people we choose to call family.
The title is the thesis. Plankton drifts with the current, unable to control its direction. Hae-jo, Jae-mi, and the supporting characters (including Jae-mi’s gentle but insecure fiancé, Eo Heung) are all "plankton"—drifting through life, feeling powerless against their circumstances. The show asks a profound question: If you can’t control where you drift, can you at least choose who you drift with? Cinematography & Sound Director Hong Jong-chan turns the Korean landscape into a character itself. From the misty east coast to lonely convenience stores and blooming camellia forests, every frame is painterly. The show uses color masterfully—desaturated, cold tones during moments of loneliness, bursting into warm golden hour light during rare moments of connection. Mr. Plankton -2024- Web Series

Jae-mi is not a passive damsel. Lee Yoo-mi ( Squid Game ) portrays a woman who is exhausted by her own bad luck. Her "infertility" diagnosis (which turns out to be false) has shaped her entire identity. Her decision to get in the van isn’t purely romantic; it’s a rebellion against a life chosen out of fear. She is angry, sharp-tongued, and fiercely real. This 2024 Korean drama from director Hong Jong-chan
Woo Do-hwan delivers a career-best performance as Hae-jo. He is not a sweet, protective male lead. He is prickly, volatile, and sometimes cruel. He lies, he manipulates, and he openly admits he’s not a good person. Yet, Do-hwan’s performance reveals the terrified, lonely boy underneath the bravado. You root for him even when you want to shake him.
It’s a reminder that sometimes, the most important people in our lives aren’t the ones bound by blood, but the ones who choose to drift with us until the very end. Bring tissues. Bring a friend. And be prepared to feel everything.
The indie-influenced OST, featuring songs by artists like Kim Feel, perfectly captures the bittersweet tone: hopeful yet deeply melancholic. You should know going in: Mr. Plankton is a tragedy wrapped in a rom-com’s clothing. The terminal illness is not a plot device that magically gets cured. The show commits to its premise.
Hi, thank you very much for sharing your modifications and experiences!
I also have a Fabtotum, bought used on ebay and I slowly trying to understand this machine by the time. Actually I try to mount an Touchscreen to the raspberry, according to this hints:
https://github.com/Opentotum/Opentotum/wiki/adding-touchscreen-fab
Unfortunally, I have no idia how to “modifying the custom image”. I probably still have an understanding problem of the infrastructure from the fabtotum… I thought, that these commands can be sent via putty (SSH), but it is not working this way… Do you have me a hint, that would be great!
Thanks, best regards, Johannes.
Hi Johannes,
the Fabtotum has two brains: The Totumduino board, holding an 8-bit Arduino-like MCU running a modified Marlin firmware for actual printer control, and a Raspberry Pi, which is responsible for the Web-Interface, some monitoring tasks etc. The instructions in the link you mention are directed against the Raspberry Pi, and yes, you should be able to log in to the Raspberry via SSH/Putty. Can you be a bit more clear where your problem starts? Can’t you reach the Fabtotum via SSH? can’t you log in? Don’t the commands work? What error messages do you get?
Btw.: There is a Facebook Fabtotum Users Group which is rather helpful!

Hello love the idea but actually my frienda fab totum is with another problem the hotend ribbon cable is not working could u help me if u know where can i get a new one? When thr machine turns on not all the lights get green and we are trying to figure it out
Hi Rodrigo,
I recommend that you connect with the Facebook Fabtotum Group – there’s one guy selling ribbon cables. Not the original ones, but working replacements.
All the best!

hi,
is your fabtotum running 2 belts or one ? i’ve got mine with disassembled carriage but it had one continues belt on it. From all the cad files and photos online it seems that it runs 2 belts. Do you have a photo of head carriage “opened” by chance ? would help me a lot 🙂 thanks
I *think* it is one belt, but admittedly I am not 100% sure. It’s the standard Indiegogo-Campaign version. To mod my printing head it was not necessary to dismantle the head carrier, so I cannot share any photos. However, if you’re on Facebook, join the Fabtotum users group – there you will likely find someone who can help here.
thanks, it should be 2 belts, but seems like they managed to route it continuously in the carriage and just anchor 4 points of it. maybe it saved some time during production (?), but that caused a bit of “extra” belt inside the carriage – not the nicest solution, but in the other hand fabtotum is full of parts attached by glue, strange + hard to access bolts etc. the only thing they did right was non-crossing corexy idea (not implementation), imho
The initial Indiegogo version indeed has many design flaws, I’d agree. Supposedly, the second generation was a bit better. And while I agree with you, I’d still say that Fabtotum is a decent printer, and in some regards it was ahead of its time. I’ve a second 3D machine by now, but in terms of user interface, the web interface of Fabtotum is much more advanced than what others do. Something I’d recommend to keep an eye on is the E3D toolchanger platform. They adopted the CoreXY system, and it looks *really* promising. And E3D does things right, when they do it!
i know e3d and the toolchanger. cool stuff and it’s nice of them to give a credit to the fabtotum (in one of the blog posts, i believe) as toolchanger is using same corexy non-crossing idea.
I would recommend you to check another cool toolchanger – https://jubilee3d.com/, if you’re not familiar.
And while talking about fabtotum GUI – if you’re ditching all the rest of the tools and using it as dumb 3dprinter – klipper firwmare is kind of compatible (im working on it now) with it and arguably better than marlin or reprap. It’s well praised by Voron community, another great 3d printing project.
