I think

2019-07-03 11:39:37 UTC  

i mean i do have access uni/uas mechanical testing lab too

2019-07-03 11:39:55 UTC  

but that usualy costs me few euros or case of beer if its something for myself/customer

2019-07-03 11:40:45 UTC  

id love to say that i have access to local nanotechlogies lab too but that would be partialy lie

2019-07-03 11:41:02 UTC  

as they dont officialy allow anything but "valid school projects"

2019-07-03 11:41:28 UTC  

so no nano layering or anything fancy ;_;

2019-07-03 11:41:50 UTC  

Oh shit

2019-07-03 11:42:11 UTC  

I think I have access to one too (under valid school projects though)

ahh so you live in leeds <writes dont in memo>

2019-07-03 11:42:50 UTC  

Can you make ma a collagen/chitosan scaffold for bone healing?

2019-07-03 11:43:08 UTC  

yeah, I've said a few times that I go to uni of leeds @Tervy

2019-07-03 11:43:19 UTC  

:P i know

2019-07-03 11:44:27 UTC  

@Sapharanth we do have a fancy 3d printer somewhere in my electronics building, so maybe

2019-07-03 11:44:53 UTC  

especially as the school is focused on medical research for electronics/mechatronics

2019-07-03 11:45:09 UTC  

but yeah who knew that random chink micrometers were actualy calibrated properly straight out of box... i didnt until i dropped one to measurement lab

2019-07-03 11:45:31 UTC  

and the prof. who works there was wondering how the fuck it can be that accurate when its so cheap

2019-07-03 11:46:00 UTC  

(funnily enough it also took way more force to misalign/get out of calibration than <brand model here>)

2019-07-03 11:48:43 UTC  

got a link to that?

2019-07-03 11:48:53 UTC  

sadly nope

2019-07-03 11:48:59 UTC  

<gearbest>

2019-07-03 11:49:02 UTC  

I need some fairly accurate tools for my next robot

2019-07-03 11:49:16 UTC  

so by now they can be anything and i dont want to take the blame when your measurements are shit)

2019-07-03 11:50:12 UTC  

but those chink calibration pieces are usualy legit stuff

2019-07-03 11:50:22 UTC  

so id look into them if you need your shit calibrated

2019-07-03 11:50:26 UTC  

Nothing about micrometers is overly out there, and they've been around forever. Usually where it gets shitty is how smooth they feel, how well they wear, and if they're digital, how quickly they drain batteries.

2019-07-03 11:50:31 UTC  

or at least know the offset

2019-07-03 11:51:11 UTC  

also apparently gearbest does not even have the model anymore

2019-07-03 11:51:53 UTC  

Know good calibration weights?

2019-07-03 11:52:05 UTC  

MG scale stuff.

2019-07-03 11:52:15 UTC  

I heard yo mama is exactly 1 tonne @timsandtoms

2019-07-03 11:52:16 UTC  

@timsandtoms yeah true but you never expect the 20 dollar stuff have same accuracy on day after day testing as valid mitus or other model

2019-07-03 11:52:29 UTC  

Yeah

2019-07-03 11:52:54 UTC  

AvE did a vid on real Mitutoyos vs knockoffs

2019-07-03 11:53:12 UTC  

Drain on the fakes was nutty, and they drifted when low on battery, with no warning of when that was.

2019-07-03 11:53:17 UTC  

But otherwise worked nice.

2019-07-03 11:53:31 UTC  

I'm just working with cheapo Harbor Freight ones whenever I use them.

2019-07-03 11:53:42 UTC  

yeah my toy was mechanical so no draining problems on it

2019-07-03 11:53:49 UTC  

couldn't you just make your own battery indicator though tom?

2019-07-03 11:53:53 UTC  

but i guess everyone prefers digital*these days (and i dont blame them)

2019-07-03 11:54:35 UTC  

@Semi Truck mc Clusterfuck For that much time and effort I'd prefer just buying legit Mitutoyos
