organizing & rounding up resistors.
it a set of new Jaycar drawer units for the bench.
the label stickers are from Officeworks.
now I got the job of organizing then by values.

The big question: E24, E48 or E96? I went for E48 but still needed a special area for resistors that I needed that aren't in the E48 series, despite doing mainly digital circuitry.

I'm using a box of letter envelopes. So I have plenty of space for labeling, can insert an envelope with odd value easily, can put an odd value into the envelope with the nearest regular value and just add it to the label, can optimize the number of envelopes by putting multiple values into one, can have a tally on the envelpe as an inventory, can take single envelopes to the desk, ...

A pack of AA size batteries, their packaging is very different from what the Amazon website shows. 

[PlainName]

Yeah, some of the pics on Amazon don't even relate to the product! But in that case it looks to me like the Amazon image isn't packaged batteries, just a bunch of them together, with a label, 'for display'. At least, if they are packaged they're using invisible wrap.

[gamalot]

Yeah, but the packaging is obviously not for the Australian market.

Arrived in the post today - Kasap Principles of Electronic Materials and Devices 3rd Edition (McGraw-Hill International Edition, 2006)

I had gotten it recently, from Oxfam, but that printing was a little washed out and had missing pages (an Indian edition maybe?)  well was for charity

Amazon Prime Days and I am WEAK 

Creality Sprite Pro Extruder kit for one of my Ender3 Pros and a Roll of Carbon/Nylon and the hardened Steel Nozzles to suit.

A few packs more of Enerloops because they are cheap and I am almost out of 'spares'.

16Gb kit of DDR3 for my 80 year old Mothers ancient Laptop because 80-90% of Memory usage of its 4Gb looking at an Email and PDF is way way to painful, nearly as painful is explaining to her that her computer has the speed of an 80 year old

Last week, but I bought an Ender 3 Pro S1 Plus.  So far liking it - print quality excellent and easy to set up - though some of the touchscreen firmware is a bit crap.

I changed to the Ender Touchscreen, but it was missing basic functions that I use, such as filament change (for multiple colour prints) and even manual filament change wasn't properly implemented. I changed back to the old screen with the knob and spun my own version of Marlin and could add what I wanted. The touchscreen firmware is closed source, so adding features yourself can't be done.
