Progress on one of my 7 in-flight projects this weekend. I have done the CAD re-modelling to fit a physically larger motor and servo after my initial build didn't have enough torque in either to drive or steer. The new chassis base plate is now on the 3D printer. Reassembly will be in around 4 hours if the print is a success. #3dprinting

Another day at #EMFCamp means another radioactivity detection project. Testing our cloud chamber installation piece to see if we can get it cold enough in this heat to detect ionising radiation.

Actually really pleased with how the finished packaged up Geiger Counters turned out. Will be selling the very limited quantity I’ve made in the Night Market on Friday at #EMFCamp

@lpoolmakefest@mastodon.social Finally back home after a enjoyable but exhausting weekend. Survived the M6 where a road rage lorry driver tried to run us off the road by flashing lights right behind us, then half overtaking and pulling back into the lane while alongside us. Had to make an emergency lane change to avoid being crushed. Appalling driving from an HGV. Heavy traffic was all going at 50 mph in both lanes so no idea why they were so aggressive with us.

RE: https://3dp.chat/@manyfold/116526501497827553 This looks like a great #Fediverse project. I have registered and plan to upload my own created models here. #3dprinting

Nice little @freecad@social.freecad.org project this morning. I designed an end plug for the greenhouse gutters. Now printing in TPU to test for fit. #CAD #3dprinting

No crimp connector is out of my reach now! I just did my first JST 1.25mm connectors with the new ratchet crimping tool I bought since I’ve misplaced my other crimping tool. Really pleased with this tool purchase. #Maker #electronics #MakersHour #MakerMonday

@ghalfacree I particularly enjoyed that one on the beach with the solar panels set up on the sand below the high tide mark.

Amazing UI design here from Apple. Totally clear what is going on.

Windows Explorer, you have one job. How can we be on version 11 of the OS the file explorer regularly crashes when you try to do something way out there like opening a folder?

It&#39;s a good job I am doing this for a hobby. If I charged myself my hourly wage for building my #Voron Trident and #ERCFv3 auto filament changer and getting it working (mostly) then it would have cost me around £30,000 to date. #3dprinting
