@natalie_thenerd have you ever tried replating (i think its nickel coating?) via electrolysis?

DMG send in with audio issues. I have recapped it but also cleaning the head phone jack

@salimbenbouz @Raspberry_Pi you are the next generation ben heck.

New Video 📹 I built a Cyberdeck around the Compute Module 5 from @Raspberry_Pi It took me months to finish, but it was well worth it. Go watch →

@natalie_thenerd onshape = free+ cloud version of Solidworks. learning curve is on par for all 3d CAD. bit odd organization structure if you're coming from local disk drive CAD installation environments. good option overall. be wary of not owning any of your designs- they are public.

Even on my powerful PC, fusion sucks to open, I hate the file management situation. We need to move to freecad as a society, Autodesk is the Adobe of cad

@digikey yes! it's wonderful. but was inquiring on a platform that offers monetary kickbacks to persuade hobbyist crowd away from amazon.

@RetroBuiltGames Have you tried our MyLists? digikey.com/en/mylists/

tutorials that need your to order a PCB with gerber files but provide amazon links to buy all the passives. why? "As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases with no added cost to you." @digikey can you build incentives for better BoM and documentation?

@digikey no. asking you to help all of us. Build a creator incentive system (similar to amazon affiliate links ) so hobby projects learn to create BoMs using authorized suppliers and pick-up better engineering documentation habits in their technical projects.

@RetroBuiltGames Do you need help making a BOM? Is that what you are asking?

@DerekPascarella acetone neutralizes superglue, but test on a junk PCB to observe effects on the silk and soldermask.

Let's say someone used super glue on PLA (like an idiot) and the chemical reaction spread like chlamydia to a PCB, like this. If 99% IPA doesn't seem to be totally dissolving the residue on the PCB and it reappears once dry, what safe cleaning methods are left at one's disposal?

@RobertDaleSmith we are building this at work! any gotcha's you ran into?

I let some of the magic smoke out.. but it works now!

@WrestlesGaming Burst Error covered some weird 3DO games, more a showcase than research, but highly concentrated. youtube.com/watch?v=rTsKHB…

@Lunchb0x48 PNG (at ultra high resolutions), JPG, STL & other. What you're viewing is a proprietary format, something .zep? It can can output a STL mesh, the one pictured here is around 148MB, this machine extrapolation lots of height (surface roughness) data from optical scanning.

@RetroBuiltGames Why file format does it create?

More Keyence. Seeing some potential to use this more. This is not a render, but a 3D image stitched from optical scans.

Cool tool: Keyence VR-6000 (ignore the video quality, I screen shot as a gif bc computers).

@Retroldtech is a wonderful reproduction in style but $616 for a prototype you haven't soak-tested longer than 2 hrs? Taken from your shop page: "This prototype is not meant for long playing sessions however it’s been tested for some 2-hour daily sessions with no issues detected at all."
