this process should be more of a thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4u-pJmIUek
looks good btw
prints really good, I mostly do cases for my ARM projects
considering that buying 5 NEMA17 stepper motors alone costs about $45USD, the full Prusa clone kit is a nice deal
@shadowedROM I used to build things with 18650 batteries but the LiPo single cells are really more worth it on the long ride
you're probably right
the basic charging circuit is dead simple
lighter and more capacity, flexible
the only thing is the reverse polarity thing, but there are premade circuits in DIP and so format that solve that
for like 0,15€
do you bother with thermal regulation
i was looking at LiFePO4 because it seemed "easiest" to work with, but the cells aren't really as mass-market available yet
I'm only using the 18650s because I have so many lying around
no, I started using the batteries because they are flat and i could mount the pcb on top and make a smaller case
those are excellent reasons 😃
indeed
and the lipos come mostly pretabbed
oh so do you bother with fasteners / screws for your case designs or do you use tabs
seems like a lot of people forgo the screws
I figure if I made tabs that are "external" it's the best of both worlds; easy enough to disassemble but frees the need to take out the screwdriver or getting a bag of machine screws
not as aesthetic i guess
I'd imagine tabs means fewer opportunity for breakages and other such problems.
also stripped screws make me want to neck myself.
the fact that the screws have to go into a big ol cylinder is a bummer too; otoh, you could use them to secure your board... but there are easier ways of doing that still
I mostle use screws with things that I have to open often, in CAD i build a circular column and then I drill the inside with a tip that makes the shape of the screw
I don't know the name of the tip in English, but it makes the shape of the screw and if you drill really slow you can make it without damaging the cylinder
i get the idea 😃
shoo shoo, BryceCase stinky chinky
you can use a manual drill bit handle if you're worried about damage too, and if you're just making a drill into an existing pilot hole from your cad design for an appropriate screw, it wouldn't take long at all
I'm using one for wood stuff but lol wood sucks
chinkbest recycled their 11.11. sale page for the snow deal thing
I wonder if you can still cheat points
they fixed it 😦
Rip
ayo fam
@shadowedROM shit, gonna order
Anyone recommend a mens grooming kit from the chinks
When you say grooming kit
