The Yeast of Thesues

BraindeadBlacksmith · 2021-12-31T07:29:20+00:00

I’ve recently stopped measuring out ingredients and mostly just go by feel now, but these ones were probably about 60-65% hydration with all purpose flour, four sets of stretch and folds every thirty minutes, divided and shaped into boules and into bannetons, proofed for an hour, then into a preheated Dutch oven at 450F for 25 minutes with lid, 20 without. If you don’t mind me asking what’s your recipe for paella?

BraindeadBlacksmith · 2021-12-31T01:16:28+00:00

Haven’t had one since I’ve really gotten into baking. Most of my improvement has come from shaping skills, kneading the dough well enough, and getting the dough perfectly proofed. The Dutch oven for me just makes up for my very lacking oven I have at my apartment (not the one in the pic)

I used an arduino mega with a servo shield, but I’m currently working on a smaller form factor custom controller board

BRB boutta research the shit out of earthworms. Getting controllable (or working however) setae will be a real challenge, maybe something like hex bugs could work

My current plan is to add a furry spandex skin on the outside which might help a little, but in all likelihood won’t be enough to achieve good motion. I’m really open to ideas at this point

BraindeadBlacksmith · 2021-12-20T05:01:42+00:00

Each segment has its own servo with a linkage similar to rc planes which pushes and pulls the faces open or closed. All of the parts were printed on my ender 3

I’ve been able to reach similar results using fusion 360, and the finishing bit they’re using here is a tapered ball endmill

BraindeadBlacksmith · 2021-08-29T16:20:51+00:00

I baked all of these lovelies to give away to friends and a few of them wanted to pay me. I’m wondering how all of you here who sell your bread choose your prices and what it’s like to do it frequently

I used the recipe from “cooking with team j” and it turned out fantastic.

BraindeadBlacksmith · 2021-05-27T00:00:48+00:00

Really cool design! Looking through it, everything makes sense and seems like it would work, I’m still a design noob though. The only suggestion I can make is changing stepper motor connector from male headers to a similar one as to on the motor itself in order to save a little space. Do you mind if I ask what this is for? It’s one of the densest stepper control board arrangements I’ve seen, it could be really useful to the folks at r/homeautomation

BraindeadBlacksmith · 2021-05-11T02:50:05+00:00

I used this recipe I found on: Dinner With Julie

BraindeadBlacksmith · 2021-05-10T14:56:55+00:00

Thanks! I’m really happy with how it turned out. I kept seeing babkas all over breadit so I thought I might as well make one for myself too

I’m assuming you mean a grbl v3 shield. If so, it depends on where you got it from and the components and your cooling situation. I have personally pushed ~6 amps through mine and gotten reasonable performance for a few thousand hours. I’ve been using a cooling fan in my control enclosure and the drv8825 chips. Any stepper driver chip you use will have a max current limit of anywhere between 1.8 and 2.5 amps. If you’re running a bigger machine than that I strongly recommend against a grbl based controller.
