Oh, the "whys" of the datasheets... The information is there not to be an axiomatic truth, but instead each speck of data must be slowly inhaled while carefully performing a deep search inside oneself to find the true metaphysical sense...

Also panning and zooming in CircuitStudio is super smooth

Needed to make some custom rubber feet for a job. This is the excuse and justification  :-DD

Buy a 2nd 3D Printer (Ender Pro), Flexion Extruder and some Filament to double the purchase price. Result will be the most expensive Rubber feet going  :o

A ha, but when you start talking ‘custom’ anything, the $ often goes up to $$$$.
Not easy, not hard, just need to be incentivised.

Today has been a bit of a Revelation

I know its not the best but its budget friendly and a lot better than the plastic junk Bresser supply with a scope - the focuser is a Orion one (cast metal) to replace the broken plastic one

To me it looks like you designed a 3D printed prison for your SpaceNavigator, using your SpaceNavigator  :-DD  :palm:

Been using one with SolidWorks for years now.  VERY useful device!!

If it jams, force it.  If it breaks, you needed a new one anyway...

The control knob is sensitive for shocks (it may start to drift too much so calibration can not compensate). This case makes contract with the base only. I use the case for storage and transportation.

I bought a used Playstation 2 slim for tearing it down in my channel Thundertronics. I am looking for a PS 1 for the same reason (prefer giveaway if possible and I cover shipping).

I bought 1 of these and they are awesome! I got it from these guys. It took a few days as it came from Germany but well worth the wait. It really is an awesome product!

I brought some non standard no-name cheap wong hung lo sata interface adaptors for an Apple Air SSD for a customer. I couldn't find any quality ones selling. I was a bit worried as I read that the regulators on them can get hot.

Wouldn't use the bundled USB3 sata controllers

Stock it up with some sacks of dessicant, and that would turn out to be a nice insulated and relatively soundproof box. Nice.

I might be mistaken, bus doesn't Apple use the PCI Express variant of the M.2 SSD?
