Guess where we were today?

Not handing over the treats is most likely.

I don't know what I did to piss off the master

It was great to have you, and I'm pleased the universe didn't explode when we aligned it to reflect off my WAVE 😂

Great video 👍

On the way home from Tramlines, I popped into @pimoroni.com towers for a visit and showed off the Giant Unicorn Hat. A big thank you to Pimoroni for supporting me with this madness. I thought it was fitting to take some photos in the factory. Plus it was nice to catch up with Jon, Paul and crew

Oops that should be The Reytons

The Raytons entrance was brilliant, the rear screen parted and a metal Trojan horse was pushed on to the stage, the band appeared from it.

The Reytons knock it out of the park, great set.

Gray sky in Sheffield, second day for the Tramlines festival.

Normal services resumed in Sheffield 😁

Pulp was amazing!

What's up Sheffield? The sky is blue and it's warm! 😎 At Tramlines with my lads. Looking forward to Pulp later :-) 😄

One more workday and then it’s Holiday time, starting by taking my lads to Tramlines, Pulp live on Friday Night :-)
Then some time sorting out my home maker space, followed with a week in the Forest of Dean, mountain biking and exploring castles :-) then off to Footfest.

Er.... That sounds like a lot of fun :-(

I can drop off the one I tested with a 2mm nozzle, tomorrow sometime.

It's starts on my Birthday :-)

Good Maker event in Derby, I will hopefully be showing off my Giant Unicorn hat there in October.

Monday the 21st July is our next open evening at #HitchinHackpace.

Why not come along and see what the #hackspace is all about? From 19:30. Free tea or coffee and biccies 🫖☕🍪🙂

I have some very small self-tappers screws, that may work

I will email you the file.

Made a mini me version, 10mm across and 2mm hole, the larger one is 20mm

Just checked the price of getting it 3D printed in stainless steel in China, about $8 without shipping

Well that's helped with my procrastination on my autonomous hacky-racing robot 🤣
I would need the dimensions of the original one, but was able to create this one with a 0.2mm nozzle and 0.1mm layers. Think the arch needs to be thinner and about half the size.

I guess so, would be worth a try, Dr Footleg got a dragon 3D printed in metal

Create a 3D one and get it printed in metal?

The only thing I miss from X is the balloons on your birthday. 56 orbits around the sun for me today :-)

Getting ready for HackyRacing robot racing at FootFest. Having a swap around with my autonomous robot rig, @raspberrypi.com Pi 5, full frame shutter camera, LiDAR & GPS, driving the motors is @pimoroni.com Yukon.

And they are here!

Great set, most of "I should Coco" plus the classics, finished with "Pumping on your Stereo"

Soon!
Seems this was not posted on Saturday evening, waiting for SuperGrass to play.

Tesla coil striking a mesh target. Onlookers from a balcony and around the room, behind barriers.

More details about the Gaussfest in London on the 7th September 2025

High voltage, tesla coils, electrostatic machines and another Victorian/Edwardian pumping station to look around.

I can't think of a better day out :)
