Made a star wars lithophane lamp for a father’s day present
I secretly used hot pink glow in the dark filament so I’m excited for that extra surprise later

Gotta love giant holes thrust through the box carrying your highly flammable isopropyl. Nice one FedEx.

If you want to see FedEx fully destroy a box, ship some nitroglycerin…
I’m pretty sure that you’ll receive a bag of packing tape with some cardboard dust on the inside…

Back when my Dad worked for The Sharper Image, they switched from FedEx to UPS and on the last shipment the FedEx driver told my dad they always say “When it absolutely, positively has to get there broken, ship it FedEx.”

I’ve been meaning to build a proper heat-set insert press for a while now, but I was too lazy to source the parts. But I found this model of the Supersetter (Makerworld) and knew it was perfect since it didn’t require any other hardware and could be printed all at once.
Since I don’t have a lot of space I printed the mod for a Pinecil so that I tuck it away when not in use without worrying about a dangling cord. Then when I need it I can power it with a USB-C PD Power bank.

STL?
Also, I updated the OG post on this thread to include STL (or a link to it) as a suggestion… as long as you’re sharing pictures of the cool thing you printed, posting the STL for it as well just makes sense yeah?

Same…
I was printing some towel hooks. Hopefully the double sided tape I’m using will hold for a long time…
I like the second one a lot more TBH.
Not pink lol but still pretty cool. This is what happens when the only label on your filament is written in Chinese.

I geel mized on posting repair content here but I wanted to share anyways. Yesterday I got this Sony PVM-2530 on the workbench to get a catalog of capacitors that need replacing. Thanks to @ODaily for the monitor.
The unit operates and looks pretty good asside from some geometry and divergence issues. I hooked it up to the video test generator and got pictures of the issues.
Finally done with the edit. those photos took forever to upload because my internet is slow.
Edited again because the first photo didn’t upload correctly.

Its all friction fit, so print it out of TPU otherwise the drives may not fit.
Let me know if you want different count

This thing looks cool but the case is not FDM friendly by the look of things.
And I personally dislike soldering wires directly to circuit boards as the part of the wire that doesn’t have isolation next to the joint tends to bend a bit more than everything else and this can create a potential failure point. Additionally, this makes things harder to take apart in some cases. But the cables seem properly supported by the case so I doubt that reliability would be an issue.
The Rigol DHO914S looks more tempting. Although the sample rate isn’t as good as I’d like for the 200mHz versions.
I have a loose gemstone, and I’d like to 3d scan it. I know they make specialized scanners for this kind of thing, but I’m on a one and done kind of plan.
Any ideas how to approach it?
And has anybody tried using a phone to do scans? I saw apps advertised, but I’m thinking it’s likely to be kinda janky. But, I have been wrong before. (Many many times.) Still this could be useful for other projects later on.
i tried teh app, and never got anything usable …
I did purchased a smal scanner and the learning curve is big … like huge.
Do you want to buy something or looking at someone to do it for you?
