Ultimate works Bors lightsaber
It uses a micro usb port for arduino programming off the bare board and is poorly supported and the battery can put pressure on also
Iāll take some pics when I wake up, I just crawled into bed

I lied
The 2 middle pads that look broken I think are just anchors? Besides that Looks like a clean break that just needs reflow?

in theory you could use hot airā¦ place the component and use a little metal alligator clip or clip of some nature to hold the usb port part where it needs to be, then aim a hair drier on full heat, low air flow at it with a little paper nosecone to direct the hot airā¦ or find a shop that can do hot air rework or plain olā soldering.
I think the problem would be the software on the boardā¦ is it user loadable?

Repaired after a little run around
Excuse me while I go shame myself
ā¦this is why I donāt deserve nice things etc
Yea the board is setup with arduino for motion controller and sound and ledā¦ Iām sure you can reprogram a brand new oneā¦ but that could get tricky for meā¦ Iām still learning just how to add effects and stuff

I think I got some fiberglass in my hand thanks to PCB v-groovingā¦
While I do want to have FR-4 in my hands, and in my body in general, I donāt want it like this.
Gosh, I wish that the technology required to make decent and useful metal hands was available. At this rate, Iām going to need an xRobotBodyā¦

everyday I get a little more ok with an accidental dismemberment
also I really want a fucking bambulab x1 carbon nowā¦
I legit might drop the money on one come end of the year bonus timeā¦
also Iāve been seeing and contemplating trying metal plating of 3d prints such as this
I canāt think of a better project that the automail arm to metal plate

Okay just a thoughā¦ Letās assume that in a couple thousand years physical archeology has not been replaced by long term media storage and more reliable archive. Then presumably some of our bodies will be dug up and studied. And we will be some of the very first humans with recreational implanted tech.
Itās kind of a big deal when you think about it.
Thatās of course assuming that there is any point in in-the-field archeology in a world where information is much better stored. Or maybe information is not as safe as we thinkā¦ What do you think?
You could also say we donāt have to rot in the ground and be dug up for it to be a milestone but we are not in position to understand how impactful this will be in the future. Future historians will.
