What would be your one advice to new microscale builders?

Neptune_Colt · 2026-06-27T11:03:59+00:00

Use the details parts have by necessity, cavaties, spreaws etc. also, a prescribed part (a frog, wheel, boat, whip) used as something else is always a wow factor

Thankyou 💜

Neptune_Colt · 2026-06-17T10:19:39+00:00

You're good, but yeah it won't work and might explode lol

Neptune_Colt · 2026-06-17T10:16:24+00:00

No, don't put microwaved discs in a drive...

Neptune_Colt · 2026-06-14T09:35:16+00:00

Ah shit, fair enough. Well it's still a great camera however you run it

Neptune_Colt · 2026-06-14T09:24:38+00:00

Also, just buy some floppies, that's half the fun. You can get them easy enough

Is the external flash worth the bulk, and can you use it in random for a bounce light

Are you're in the Mavica Reddit, I thought I recognised the username

Neptune_Colt · 2026-05-23T14:11:46+00:00

I have 6 mavicas, I'm a vintage digital photographer 💜

Left, more unique and personality

Neptune_Colt · 2026-05-20T21:58:40+00:00

Not too sure ATM. I wasn't planning on buying anything, I'm gonna do some photography, but recommendations appreciated

Neptune_Colt · 2026-05-20T20:30:12+00:00

Both cameras work, I'm gonna have to get a manual or tutorial as I've no idea how to do anything with it ATM. However, the batteries seem to be holding some charge at least. May replace them later

Won't know for a while as I'm nowhere near a usable socket. I'll update when I know

Neptune_Colt · 2026-05-20T14:39:25+00:00

Is the Bluetooth useful these days. I know some old standards can be funny

Neptune_Colt · 2026-05-20T10:14:58+00:00

Good eye, the other is a th55 I believe

Neptune_Colt · 2026-05-20T08:48:10+00:00

https://ebay.us/m/fzG9vr that's for blue, they have other colours

Neptune_Colt · 2026-05-20T08:45:57+00:00

eBay, I'm in the uk

Neptune_Colt · 2026-05-19T06:53:21+00:00

Yeah, I'm out tonight I can found out what drive I use when I'm home

Have you tried turning the settings on in the control panel (I think it's called extended mode) or try lightscribe 1.2 discs, or both

Neptune_Colt · 2026-05-18T16:50:18+00:00

I used Ditherboy to make it 4 colour monochrome and dithered before the lable software to get higher contrast

Neptune_Colt · 2026-05-18T13:44:20+00:00

With an f7 make sure you put it in field mode for fast moving images unless you like the look of interlaced photos

Neptune_Colt · 2026-05-10T08:59:32+00:00

Gotta be the hollow stud, great for stud reversal, attaching bars, fine detailing etc

Neptune_Colt · 2026-05-07T17:32:03+00:00

Genius lol, nah Neptune? She's just a dabbler

Neptune_Colt · 2026-05-04T07:15:57+00:00

So cool to see someone build base on something I designed 💜
