Rivet Nut useful in application for providing threads in thin part, time saver as compared to taps. abinson.com/c-rivet-nut

Gift from @googlemaps appreciate it, Thanks!

@lixielabs @LadyLixieLabs ALL

Well @LadyLixieLabs got a little discouraged tonight as she tried to #code for the first time! She wants to know... WHAT KIND OF ENGINEERING DO YOU EXCEL AT MORE?

@lixielabs @LadyLixieLabs @pregopm @thingiverse Can also give pin unsoldered.

@LadyLixieLabs project tonight was to cut down on shipping materials by creating pin covers! The original idea came from @pregopm who created the file for @thingiverse! #lixielabs #3Dprinting #ender3 #opensource #pixie #lixie #maker thingiverse.com/thing:4843552

@bradanlane Nicely planned and flexible, wish you best of luck.

@GregDavill Awesome 🥳

Samsung SMT pick and place machine busy placing components.

Now in place, ready to convert to #CNC M4A Vertical #Milling Machine Table Size 1370 x 254mm Z-Axis 405 mm Spindle Taper #BT40 Have to find tools now. DRO will be removed and put in lathe once CNC done.

#Milling machine arrived from taiwan, unloading by crane. It's a beast touching almost 8 foot ceiling once head rotates to position.

@chipmc86 Ant trying to talk with wifi

I have a theory as to why this Park’s sensor is giving false counts….

CNC router arrived from China 600x900x150mm working size RichAuto A11 DSP control 2.2KW water cooling spindle Can process plastics, wood and aluminum. #cnc #router

Drill bits used o make hole before tapping a thread. I use M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10. I avoid M3 unless really needed because it's too fragile to do by hand. @commonmodechonk

@commonmodechonk I also just get the drill bit I need for the tap. I use minimum M3 to max M12 3.3 bit is used for M4 which I broke some times, bigger bits won't break easily so i got only 1 each and 3.3 I got 10 pcs.

hmm....anyone know if it's better to just get the drill bit for the tap I need or invest in a whole metric index?

@RWB93174525 HASL works fine for 0.5mm pitch

I'm wondering if JLCPCB's Lead Free HASL finish is OK for finer pitch parts like 0.5mm pitch IC's? I figure paste would smooth any HASL surface imperfection. Need to fab 9 new boards, never tried HASL finish before, is it BAD or Fine? 🤔 Looking for advice on this....

@Scott_Holmes Happened with TL431 and i had to mount reverse after 1 hour of troubleshooting

Twitterverse- are there and SOT323-3 FETs with nonconventional pinouts? Like the drain and the source swapped?

@MLE_Online HD setup?

@mpfrederick @MohitBhoite Missing solar, love it

Big thanks to @MohitBhoite for the inspiration on this little IoT sculpture! Be sure to check out Mohit’s work! 👍 This ESP8266 is connecting to an API that lists who’s in space - showing each astronaut’s name with an image of their craft on an OLED display! Fun project!! 😊

Linux distro hopping journey 1. Arch Linux - difficult to setup, time consuming. Best is AUR. 2. Manjaro KDE- Easy but large and unstable updates. 3. Ubuntu - Works but just like windows hiding things under the hood, PPA nightmare. 4. MX Linux-Best stability of Debian. 5.?

You wouldn’t believe what I just saw. More images and video to come... #MarsHelicopter go.nasa.gov/ingenuity
