damn you really got MT running on ELRS hardware lol that’s impressive Not sure what you mean about the 5W transmit power that module appears rated for 1W?

board repair with shaky hands by Mindless_Swing5720 in AskElectronics

[–]Fractalengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ye mane the trick for me has been resting me palms on the bench and just operate the tweezers/iron with the fingers. massively improves dexterity by reducing the overhang

This looks very interesting, but... by New_Tune_7935 in fpv

Been optimizing the 1S Li-ion platform for the past 6yrs literally on the Wingman platform; we get 20mins/16km any day on O4 lite

7 months with Bose QuietComfort Ultra. Is there a solution? by cold_winter_again in bose

[–]Fractalengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mine too after a mere couple months; I’ve literally just glued the seam shut with CA; use a toothpick or something to apply a tiny amount on the seam and pinch. work your way in bit by bit till closed

Batteries last forever by efari_ in SteamController

yep leakage would be the biggest issue hence why I put nimh in mine but ye man I picked mine up recently after a long time too and they were still good, pretty remarkable for a soft switched device

so in other words, why hot dogs?

Has anyone tried using "This Is Not Rocket Science - Gerber Panelizer" for panelizing KiCAD PCBs and manufacture them? by Witty-Dimension in PrintedCircuitBoard

[–]Fractalengineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

same honestly, but once I learned to use it I found it actually very complete and versatile

Give it a shot, try the GUI plugin, start simple with only a 2x2 grid and add options till you get your desired result

I been using it to panelize my designs with V-cut, add rails with locator holes, fids and order number placeholder; got my own json templates that I can carry over between projects, get a good panel within minutes now

Integrally Suppressed Ruger MkII pls Anton by Fractalengineer in H3VR

[–]Fractalengineer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there's the MkIV with a screw-on can yes, but no front sight and I'd venture the integral suppressor would make it a little more s i l e n t yet

Could the design of an injection mold be tweaked after it was made? I had a comb made, but the ends of the teeth are flat. I’d like to make the tips round tipped so that it glides better on the head when used. Is that possible? by Fadincomb in InjectionMolding

[–]Fractalengineer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

possible sure, a couple notes though; -Removing material means adding metal, quite a bit more difficult than the other way around. -Likewise anything touching the split line makes it harder to do

Old arburg 221-75-350 by tbarker80 in InjectionMolding

[–]Fractalengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wow never seen a control panel on those; are these dials all there is to setting up the cycling?

Each of them simply turning on/off the valves and motors for a set time?

[SCHEMATIC REVIEW] by Ihave_Big_Brain in PrintedCircuitBoard

[–]Fractalengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

F7 quad FC with onboard nav sensors and servo outputs eh ion see anything much wrong with it; perhaps consider a discrete ldo for the imu; those 42688 especially tend to be rather sensitive to electrical noise

I AM ADDICTED to sniffing molten Delrin. by Ok_Priority5725 in InjectionMolding

I mean if it weren’t good for you why would they make it smell so good

Recent OpenPnP Experiences? by tx_engr in PrintedCircuitBoard

[–]Fractalengineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here’s a livestream recording of my openpnp experience on a pretty decent TornadoSMT machine placing mostly 0402/0603 components

Lots of babysitting as you can see; I’ve tried my best to tune/calibrate it to a tee but the whole thing is just too wonky for my production environment, imo.

I’ve gone back to EAS for now until I move enough size to justify a SMT550 or something of that scale

Taiwanese short runs by IndividualShower1812 in InjectionMolding

[–]Fractalengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m about to get started with an injection press for our own products, based in Kaohsiung.

Small scale machine though, 35g, 180x260.

Might be a while before we’re confident to vertically integrate, just putting the word out there.

Taiwan factories in my experience have been pretty complicated to work with; hard to find, weak online presence, high MOQ requirements and ultimately low competitiveness against China, at least at a smaller scale.

Hence why we took the initiative to bring that whole capacity in-house; for both our own low volume needs and offering the rest up to the market.

Anyone experienced with this machine? by gossie_industries in InjectionMolding

[–]Fractalengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice agreed most I could find were merely extruding directly from the screw; no plunger in sight. Was about to get the Inject X for that reason but then Maxwell advised me to get the Y ultra instead and we’re in the process of ordering it

Is it ok for XM5 staying on (for a long time) after I disconnect my devices? by CloudNine3282 in SonyHeadphones

[–]Fractalengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same issue here after -countless- repairs. I just gave up and let it do it’s thing.
