my arms are basically useless today, but now half my bed is taken up by an electrical cabinet, so who's to say if it was worth it or not?

if u spot a soaking wet 1.9m tall transfem struggling to carry a massive electronics cabinet on the London underground - hii :3

i don’t, unless the next print is really big, never noticed any issues

i got a headache

i tried that once

a long magic arm mounted onto the linear rail with a swiss plate quick release - the linear rail is mounted onto an aluminium extrusion lighting frame. it’s holding a small stuffed shark. there is a pothos plant in the background, along with two giant nuts, and two crocheted queer bees.

a close up of the linear rail block, with a machined aluminium adapter plate to a swiss quick release plate.

made a shark holder for my workbench

just make sure the hard drive has a metal platter and not glass, I made that mistake as a child..

maybe not applicable to your situation (requires access to a laser cutter), but I'm currently experimenting with coroplast eurobox dividers that slot together in various configurations - it seems promising so far!

sadly not very time / cost effective to do with a machine like this, and it’s a nice cnc (old othermill) that I use a lot for work, just not suited for anything but small metal parts.

I’ll definitely keep it around for PCB milling after I upgrade.

a pretty looking aluminium vacuum fixture plate in my hand it has a rectangular black o-ring indented, and a grid pattern machined inside it with an air hole. there is a pneumatic fitting at the top, and 4 mounting holes recessed around the edge. it’s about the size of my palm

I gave in to an urge to make a vacuum fixture plate and spent ~16 hours machining this on my comically ill-suited plastic framed cnc - it works really well!

if only for my health (remembering to eat mid project), I really need a better cnc machine..

a small fabric tool roll open showing a set of tightly packed electronics tools - in order from left to right: - solder - iron tip - ts21 iron - metal solder sucker - small brass wool tip cleaner - luer lock needle - glass luer lock syringe of flux - knipex flush cutters

the roll now folded up, showing a silicone usb-c cable tucked into an external pouch. in the blurry background a pretty green plant is visible.

I love modifying second hand fabric tool rolls for my own purposes - quite often only a stitch unpicker is required!

here’s version 2 of my portable soldering kit

yess, I’m so glad to have friends that also appreciate platonic biting

*reading a data-sheet and shaking my head disapprovingly* 😔

(the little bells on my fluffy cat ears jingle softly)

aa thank you!!
birch ply, bead blasted aluminium, translucent plastic / glass, and plants is my favourite material palette currently :3

I wonder if Xtool is working on something like this - feels like a natural evolution to their gradual change in direction as a company.

no sleep schedule survives contact with cute transfems on the internet

the reason girls are so sleepy all the time is because they're going to bed at 4 am after being gay as fuck all night

unbelievably bad vibes in that place.

ideal machine touching outfit yea

my capability to remote program the devices is a lovely (but extremely sleep deprived) on-site electrical engineer named Emma and RDP :p

remotely reflashing an "operationally critical" attiny85 from 1000km away at 00:30 on a Monday morning?

silly.

the most effective forcefem technique is simply existing as a cool transgender woman and saying “btw I have spare estrogen if ur ever curious”
