It's going... but the corners have started to lift up.
Crazy bit is it is quite symmetrical, and it keeps building level on top of the curved bottom... I've checked it with a straightedge, and everything it's building now is straight & square.
There is a very quiet war going on in the back of my mind over what to do... Part of me is as hell; this is a simple base layer adhesion problem, probably due to something stupid like me being a little heavy-handed with the hairspray during prep. Part of me is just as hell; thinking "Fuggetabboudditt... let's see how this plays out."
That's one hell of a print. I'm going to say nothing more seeing as I jinxed the last one.
I've decided I need a 3d printer. Need to move house first
I'm thinking just the opposite. Consumer grade 3d printers have a way to go yet.

It's amazing how small his cranial volume is.
I’m happy with full kit route myself. Genuinely that’s the fun part of the journey if you’re a sick twisted person like myself. When something doesn’t work I run towards it not away. I spent a number of years building radio control cars, right back to the old Schumacher Bosscat, cat 2000. Also I’ve owned a Land Rover series 3. You can’t be screwed harder for set up than those money pits.
In fact the less assembled it is the better. More meticulous assembly and heat shrinking to do
I’m actually trying to pluck up the courage to say fuck it to the exchange rate at the moment and buy a stacked Elecraft K2 kit before they discontinue them and I’m permanently laden with regret.

The curved bottom is the base of the meter holder? Hmm. As long as it finishes the rest without warpage, it could still be OK. Put a couple of rubber feet in the back (or the front, or both, depending on the angle you want). It'll look cool, as if it was designed that way. It's a feature.

True, but they aren't the only people that fly low and without radar cover! Even I have done a bit of it

"Naww... Ahh bettah not look. Ahh mahht just be in theyahh..."
While I was out today attending a family funeral the postman dropped this little gem of for me along with 5M of 12AWG black and red silicon cable so I can make some heavy duty meter leads and can also double up as leads for the power supplies, just waiting the arrival of some suitable stackable banana jacks etc.
This little meter is pretty accurate, certainly accurate enough to use in the mobile tool kit and can measure DC current by clamping the meter around a cable and during testing I found is within 0.2 of mA on its readings so it's not a shabby little performer at all considering its cost (mine was half price because I used up some Nectar points). I was feeling a bit down and needed a new toy to play with at the time I ordered it and bugger if within hours of ordering it I stumbled across that 8842A as well and there was no way on earth I was not going to make a determined effort to secure it as it was fully loaded, but it needed to be at a much reduced price, it was listed at £250 and I managed to get it at £100 which was my limit and to my pleasant surprise the seller was only a few miles away and he kindly offered to deliver it to me the same day...result.

ordered a uni-t 210e a couple of days ago from a guy in nj. only now the tracking shows it shipped from calif.
strange.
have you hatched a cunning plan yet to change the performance via the eeprom values? looks pretty straightforward...... if only I could find my arduino uno.
probably won't go searching for it today since both of the rotten kids live just outside Fayetteville nc and their power was intermittent last night. have not heard from them today so they are probably trying to conserve phone batteries. hopefully the wind is no longer a big deal.....but they were expecting 20+ inches of rain!
My latest Ebay purchase has arrived, sold as not working, a Teac CR-H250 receiver, advertised as power LED is on but will not switch on. Thought the bloody thing just needed a couple of capacitors in the power supply, so I'd have something at last to get teeth into on the bench, but no, how fecking wrong was I.
Looks great, Spec. Quite compact.QuoteOpened it up and a CD was wedged in the tray, wrestled it free and the tray opened up and the unit now works perfectly
Score!

Yes, but the question on everybody's mind is... does the CD still play? And if so, is it actually worth listening to...?

My meter was ordered from a UK seller but the receipt was in Chinese WTF but it arrived within 3 days so I'm OK with it. Its not bad either as it happens just don't go any near high energy with it.
As a portable it is ideal as covers all the things you need, even capacitance and nice and small. [emoji106]

Nothing to worry about of course, but it looks like you have a small fire going on in the control box at the left…
Yeah, the 120V might make a difference to the NCV, a nice touch with that is that it also gives an indication as to how close you are to live conductors in 3 ways, the closer you are the fast the bleep is, there is also a LED that flashes faster as get close to the live wire and the screen show a series of "-" according to how close you are, the closest you get "- - - -" and it starts with a single "-".
The count being 2000 is not a mayor problem neither is the AC default, if it was my main and daily driver then it might be a problem but for the amount of usage its going to nah, it's not worth it TBH.
