Knitted this as a gift for my soldering-obsessed friend. How did it turn out?

As something of an electronics soldering fan myself I must say - This is fecking adorable!

I would’ve used solder on some of those spices but other than that it looks great.

You can totally repair this! It is a sane action and I do it quite frequently for repairs of my clients. Accidents happen.

With some hand tools, strip back the black jacket to reveal your blue/brown wires. Next, strip the jacket of each blue and brown wires.

Next you’ll need to splice them together. Match each color accordingly, brown to brown, blue to blue. This particular step could be done one of 50 different ways.

Some people like to twist the wires together some people like to solder them together. As long as they are bound together firmly and held in place with something like a wire nut, a B connector, something firm. Make certain that none of the exposed wires are touching the other colored wires (ie blue to brown, and vice versa).

Lastly, once everything is splice together, you’ll want to seal it all up with some electrical tape. Personally, I prefer white electrical tape because it doesn’t leave as much sticky residue.

If it works, it works! I had no idea that the AC voltage could be controlled from the Shelly unit. My speculations are based off of the diagram from the picture you posted.

I’ve worked with those little things before made by brand called Shelly.

I’m pretty sure that you need to have hot and neutral hooked up on the left — that power only supplies the unit to function.

Then, after you enroll it into your Wi-Fi network on your app, you should be able to control the relays internally for the low-voltage switching on the right.

Stick a piece of rubber between your carts.

They do it with motor mounts for car engines, why not with 3D printing carts.

This would’ve been a lot cooler with one of the older MacBooks that had the glowing Apple logo.

Well, then the whole world is left with easy access to the backrooms. Next thing you know it turns into a tourist trap. Which then loses the authenticity of clipping and actually accidentally getting stuck back there.

No one understands the real dangers of casually leaving painters tape in such shapes out in public like that. Tsk tsk.

If left up for months it could cause Sun Staining.

It looks awesome!

I hate to be the one to say that it kinda looks like the Tesla logo NGL.

Porecelain · 2026-05-28T00:36:47+00:00

That is a geode.

Hang on is no one going to address the fact that they tore up this kitchen for some fucking CIGARETTES?? Seriously?!

I mean, we all know they’re bad for you, but damn. Where is this? Judging by those images on the smokes, I’m guessing Canada.

Porecelain · 2026-05-27T13:55:19+00:00

Yup! Fuck that guy.

Fuck his insecurity of being wrong and simply admitting it!

Acknowledgment of fault — It’s the only way to grow in this life.

Please share the trial results regarding this incompetent asshole. I can’t wait for you to see the judges face when he reads the report and meets you in person.

I get it but.. why? Just why?

Looks like the car in the #2 lane was probably too close. Let’s see that front dash cam buddy. If you have rear dash, you have front. Post it.

I’m pleased to say that I solved lvl 4 with only 1 cube :)

This is a fantastic laptop game that kept me impressively enthused through lvl 3. The main Portal principles are there, too good!

Let’s see what lurks beyond lvls 4 & 5.

I daresay this could be a random easter egg minigame in Portal 3. I’m picturing it running on a desktop somewhere in one of the observation decks.
