You left out the tampon stuck in the pipe between 1 and 3. :D

Mine got a wurm in die kop and refused to switch on. What I did was to hold down the fire button and plug in the usb cable on the pc. It then went into DFU in FS mode and once I removed the cable, started up properly. No issues at the mo. Edit: After playing around some more, I discovered...

Are you talking about EJmix? as you say, seems to be unavailable locally. Even the 500mg offering from Vaperite would only last you 4 days, at R700 a pop, you're going to need long arms and deep pockets. Seems to me your only real option is to grow your own base product, extract it with...

Is that a 40W co2 laser that you used for the AT AT?

3 does it for me. :)

I'm very dubious about using etch, my attempts in the past havent yielded clean straight edges, they have a lot of undercut and wavy edges if left in long enough to eat through the layer. Thanks all the same for the info @Intuthu Kagesi it will probably be my last resort. First I'll try laser on...

After watching a YT vid on custom edge connectors, I took the easy way out and had a chat with the folk at a local pcb spot. I explained what formats I had and what I wanted and he said I should send a pdf file which was easy enough to do, just hit up an online dxf to pdf converter. When I...

I'm wanting to have a custom pcb made for a tyre tread depth gauge so that I can hack it into a DRO for my mill. Any board designer boffins that could tell me what software I should be using would be a great help. I've tried many of the free ones like Fritzing , FreePcb and LibrePcb, but they...

Greensand mold is all I have, any steam underneath vents through the copper, ie theres always going to be porosity. Price? dunno, possibly in the region of R200.

Let me say, before I get "volunteered", that this is the sum of my experience of working with copper. Its also expensive on gas as it takes about 1hr to melt as opposed to aluminium at 15min. So, if you want a swiss cheese style tube mech... :)

Would be a great way to give new life to my 15W iTaste SVD. Much better idea than paying R1799 for the TS80P from diyelectronics.

...and done. Belt still a bit short for the smaller high speed because I was a chop chasing rpm's and made the pulley to small. :) Low speed is still 1100, high would be 4600rpm compared to the original 2500. I'll probably be looking for a smaller sewing machine belt come Monday. All the...

New week , new project. This time its a belt drive for the mini mill. Only kit available is an import from Pasadena, California @ R3050 incl shipping, alas its large pulley is designed for the Sieg X2 mini mill with a 30mm dia spindle and my Mac Afric has a 28mm spindle. Not that I was going to...

Sundays job was a gooseneck light for the mill, some ally strap and tube and uncle bob. First real job with my new gadget, re doing the graduations on my lathe dial, it was worn off from bad pitting rust when I bought it and my cleaning with steel wool didnt make anything better. Using an...

Nah, out of my ballpark, never worked copper on the lathe before and I hear its very tricky. @KZOR knows a guy in Goodwood that did the homogenizer, atty stands drip tips etc, Nico Lubbe, if I remember right.

Not at all, Miss Daisy has been my daily for about 4 years now, 4 a month, every month. :)

Finished my mill upgrade last nite. Works well, the wire cables dont slacken even if I wind up as fast as possible. The complete assembly. A before shot with the torsion oem spring that had lost most of its torsion in the 5 years Ive had it. The after.

Only external charging, usually change batts twice a day.

Strange yours does that, mine is on 5526 and counting. It was the kit version.
