Its official. The Pixel Pump 2 is coming 🔥 Will do a proper introduction video soon but here's a few interesting specs 🧵 (It's a tool for PCB hand assembly)

@will_whang Just unsolder and tur.... wait. Yes. Agree. 🥲

the time when you realized - you fucked up.

@JohannesTscharn *AR of course

@JohannesTscharn Started to see a lot of Specs googles used by such projects. Can we say that those have the best API / SDK for VR right now?

This is exactly the point! Instead of having to rely on a 2D abstraction layer for control, AR enables control natively in 3D space.

It is not. But I had the same thoughts back then when I started with those. But dismissed the idea of using it. The issue with DIN rail is that it is not built for this type of application. Especially not for frequent engagements. It’s great for an electric cabinet where you occasionally rearrange stuff. But the experience „clicking in“ magazines like on the current rail is just not there. It’s also too narrow. It was too wobbly for my taste. Just didn‘t like it enough.

@xLexiLiesx Hopefully @robin7331 can answer this for you!

Unboxing the Pixel Pump 2, a SMD vacuum assembly tool! This was the greatest unboxing experience of my whole life. You can really tell the passion he put into building this. The SMD magazines might be the coolest thing I’ve seen, really well executed!

@realwillreil Thanks for all the kind words! I‘m glad you like it :) Can‘t wait to see what you build with it 🚀

@realwillreil Nah. If you have enough flux you can solder this with a roofing iron. 😁

Yeah I might be cooked…

@ChihYang04 I love this!

First merch idea👀

@realwillreil @lexroller12 @digikey I source almost everythig from Digikey or LCSC. Most of the times LCSC is cheaper but there are cases where DigiKey is actually cheaper for the same component!

@lexroller12 @digikey On a cost for component basis LCSC is hard to beat

Who is actually the best component supplier? I always use @digikey

@wcools Sent you a DM. Ready to test anytime if you need even earlier feedback. If you like :)

@robin7331 Planning for this summer

Finishing touches for the Markdown Mirror

@mSanterre Nope. FDM. (Bambu A1)

@robin7331 That's extremely clean. Is that SLS?

Really happy with the new Foot Pedal 2. ❤️ Its flatter and more compact than V1. Also has the pivoting axle in the back vs in the front. Ergonomics are so much better.

@alex_barashkov @Railway You guys are an absolute role model when it comes to motion graphics. Hats off 🤌🤌🤌

Behind the scenes of the launch video production for @Railway. From initial request to final release in less than two weeks.

@AdditiveAvery Thanks!

@robin7331 Nicely incorporated the fabric tag. Haven’t seen that yet! Awesome work. Looks sharp!

Its official. The Pixel Pump 2 is coming 🔥 Will do a proper introduction video soon but here's a few interesting specs 🧵 (It's a tool for PCB hand assembly)

@zuidwijk Yes its pretty good! I have done *so* much THT hand soldering for ~500 Pixel Pumps and I am not looking forward to get even more practise so I switched to SMT wherever possible 🥲 Its a Molex part. MPN is 044144005

@robin7331 Is that a RJ11/12 connector you’re using? If so, which one is that? I’m still using through hole version and this smd looks way cleaner.

@realwillreil Thanks a lot! 👋

@robin7331 Your design style is so good, I love the mix of rugged / utility and the sleek look. The tag is my favourite part by far!

Pixel Pump 2 Early Access units are being printed and assembled 💅

@zuidwijk Thanks! Yes I like the contrast between the hard, physical product and this fabric tag 🏷️

@robin7331 That blue ribbon with your name/brand on it looks superb 👌🏼

@blind_via secret sauce

s/s stands for?
