Bought a Cordless Bosch hot glue gun which arrived yesterday, this is a great unit and works so much better than my $7 ebay pos! it heats up 15 seconds instead of 5 minutes and charges from micro usb which is super handy!

Nice, didn't know these were that much faster.
Now I will wait till they equip it with the extra long tube for ultra precise dosing.

Your link doesn't work for me but I found the dosing to be very precise and it made a lot less mess than other guns I've tried due to the retraction mechanism.

Looks good, I like the cordless better tho as the cable was always being in the way in my previous gun.

Yes that is a big salespoint.
But if I understand correctly it only heats up when you press the button, so it is not directly ready but you have 15 seconds?

No it has a power button and it heats up when you turn that on. The temp indicator flashes while it's heating and goes solid on when temp has been reached.

I see you're confused, it is because the board has no rust at all and looks pristine.

It looks like wavy-gravy power traces going from the heat sinks to the front. What the hell

Still, you must be reasonably pleased with that result.

@blueskull: Remind me not to buy any IC's from you in the future now that you can relabel almost anything! Great result.

Power traces or nice smooth differential lines?

Some precision gear in pristine condition and for peanuts (HP 6113A).

It is a bit off, but I really can't complain... It does not have any calibration sticker, and its date code is 27th week of 1981.

I don't know! I never seen anything like that on a modern high density multi-layer board.  They look like the old hand drawn traces style.
You are probably right, they are signal lines as there so many of them. Strange.

I did a T shape engraving on a Toshiba flash chip with my new Cubiio toy laser.
The left is a failed attempt with bad focus, and the right is a perfect T with crispy but slightly burned edge.



The built-in rasterizer was way worse and it will guarantee to mess up some corners.
The T shape shown here is based on my own rasterizer using only G01 X and G01 Y code.
The firmware implementation of G02/G03/G01 X Y motion is flawed and is guaranteed not to work precisely with small feature sizes.

Not the best photo... Should I buy a 335D and calibrate it myself? Need to order all the aluminum electrolytics and replace them but mostly in good shape and stable.

New keyboard and mouse for the shack. Needed a few more buttons to make CAD work easier and the old keyboard has seen much better days.

After a few days of looking around and price negotiating:
1. Keysight M9037A PXIe controller ( :palm:, $2k for a Haswell i7 computer)*1
2. Keysight M9243A 1GHz 2ch scope*2

How did you even get it for 2k? The list price is over 7k. Thats some serious negotiation.

Lazy bugga for not rolling your own timer you could have got the parts for maybe $3-4 :-DD I have memories of 555's alone being nearly $2 each as a kid.
