Maybe, possibly, it could kinda be an inductor

I guess technically there are such things as wire wound resistors and kind of that’s sort of what an inductor is or at least could be. It does have a resistance because of the length of wire inside… So… sure :slight_smile:

Any Electronic bit can be a resistor, if soldered incorrectly enough

Just like any diode can be a zener if you try hard enough…

@amal do you prefer 20% now and the rest in a couple weeks (so you have stock for the holidays) or would you rather get the entire order at once sometime in December?

@Pilgrimsmaster can we remove this bit?

Since they will be on DT and no longer available through Patreon I’m afraid people could get confused and subscribe to Patreon unknowingly.

I got a notice from my mail service that the box arrived… I’ll be picking it up this week and working to get them on the store.

I’m kinda waiting for the Loadstone to show up so I can order that at the same time as my xG3. Is that a good idea, or is Soon™ going to stretch? This girl is very impatient to become magnetic.

I’m so far behind on adding things to the store… I’ll try to get things up by end of the week.

Note you should wait quite a while before playing with your magnet. But the lodestone is a ton of fun

I just ordered my xG3! I’m so excited! Plans to put it in L1 on the top of my left hand.

@amal any news about this?

@Az_F I’ll still order a lodestone when they become available, but I wanted to get my magnet in me before I take medical leave from work so I can give it lots of time to heal before I start using it daily.
