Now for something a bit more hands-on: I turned the back of our garden into a bar, complete with a motorised hidden drinks cabinet, DIY automation, and plenty of lessons learned along the way. calbryant.uk/blog/ctrl-alt-…

@RichRap3D @RMCRetro Thank you! OpenSCAD is great, limited in annoying ways, eg lack of STEP export. For me being able to version control code makes up for it! Let me know when you do -- super interested to see how it could help + improve it

@callanbryant @RMCRetro That’s very cool indeed. Great article. I still use OpenSCAD quite a lot for mechanical parts and gear, pinion, rack generation etc. I am definitely going to try this on my next big flat print project. Thanks.

Creating a full sized replica of Atari's Space Race from 1973! Patrons are enjoying early access to our video documenting the process of recreating this incredibly rare machine. Lasers, CAD, 3D printing and glitter are involved. Support us and watch now: patreon.com/rmcretro

@RichRap3D @RMCRetro Thanks! I implemented the idea. Check it out calbryant.uk/blog/3d-printi… It works on any STLs too, assuming a panel based design. Code is provided too!

@callanbryant @RMCRetro That’s very cool 😎👍

@RMCRetro @RichRap3D Oh great ok! btw @RichRap3D was inspired by the video, and I'm now writing some python/scad to automatically split up panel-like parts so you can print huge things without manually cutting and adding the dovetails. Cool huh?

@callanbryant @RichRap3D can fill us in if we can grab his attention

@Undefinition1 Write up here :-) calbryant.uk/blog/speakers/

@callanbryant Wow! How did you build that?

@Undefinition1 I just made some speedsters with a custom enclosure for my office. Thanks for the acoustic design, it's fantastic. They sound awesome! calbryant.uk/blog/speakers/

I used your crossover PCBs @gose1 which made the design much easier + neater. Thanks for that!

The Nix Documentation Team has been on a roll lately, with many improvements both behind and on your screen - for example, check out the new tutorials on running your own binary cache at nix.dev! discourse.nixos.org/t/this-month-i…

It is wild to me that this design got from someone’s cute idea (“Let’s put the Union Jack on the tail lights!”) through every step of production and regulation and onto the road, resulting in a right turn signal that points left and a left turn signal that points right

....and the second of the year! calbryant.uk/blog/cnc-routi… I'll be blogging more about CNC manufacturing as I design and build a pair of interestingly non-rectangular speakers.

I've been trying to write more this year. Here's the first article! calbryant.uk/blog/destroyin…

Digital media systems have been hugely net positive, but the losses in latency and smoothness are real. Hundreds of milliseconds of added latency in voice and video communication, seconds in channel switching, and hardly any video pan is flawlessly smooth today. Fixable!

It is hard for people today to comprehend how slow an original IBM PC was. By some measures, a 4090 is a billion times faster, which means a PC working continuously for 40 years could be replaced by one second of modern computing. And yet, this could be done.
