fun fact: soldering flux is just pine resin. the tree i cut down yesterday could supply me with a lifetime of flux. i'd have to distill it into rosin of course.

let me let you in on a dirty little secret… no one fvcking cares what CAD tool you use. they only care about what you build.

@BenGrahamUK Might be a silly question, but don't all the deer still belong to the crown?

Britain is spending £460 million building a 60 metre wildlife bridge over the A417 dual carriageway in Gloucestershire, for animals to cross. That’s a £7.6 million per metre deer crossing. It would be funny if it wasn't our tax payer money being wasted, meanwhile real problems remain unfunded.

@NatHalberstadt 100% agree, that's why I've removed Wifi and Bluetooth from what I'm working on. Firstly, not everything needs to be 'smart' or connected Secondly, if you truly need wifi just use a SPI or I2C module.

I really need a printer that has zero screen, wifi, or bluetooth connection. I just want to be able to plug a usb cord printer --> computer Hit print, and have it actually work every time

@therealcarlin If you went with aluminum instead of steel then you could weigh it down with a internal bean bag or something.

This is my thermal stack for the LED board. I want it to be as bright as possible, so I am aiming for 1200lm in THEORY. I am sure it'll be a fair bit less than that, all losses considered The mild steel is not a great thermal conductor, but I need that mass at the base for weight. The plastic wall has the largest thermal resistance though, so not too concerned. I will only know once I can test it.

Conceptually, AliExpress is such a wacky site The pitch: - Let's make a website of nearly everything, but the price you see is not the price you pay (it's more). - Let's show the customer a price of $0.01 for shits and giggles, but show them the actual price (minus tax) when it's in the cart. - Let's have a 90% off sale, but if you put another item in your cart the cheaper item only gets discounted, but if you make 2 orders, then both get discounted. - Let's just un check items from customers carts when they aren't paying attention. - Let's show bikini's to the customer looking at fasteners, just in case they're a gooner. - Limit one per customer.
