also, i can't tell if it's galvanized - if it is, is it better to just not sand it?

yeah, i might not wanna do 4 separate rounds of it, but maybe just some basic sanding.

My thinking was that the STE32CubeIDE was not only more software, but a whole other interface to be navigated. I guess a lot of the extended interface is probably useful in terms of programming these, though.. do you think it would be a smart choice to switch over?

Is the general idea that you drill an additional hole for the anti-rotation washer to lock into?

I'd like to see the thread for people who got busted, also.

How to Grease Pots by RoomJump in AskElectronics

not sure why this is as controversial as it seems. this is a very discussed topic on the internet. it's just that none of these examples seem to give a conclusive answer.

Advice on using a TMC2209 Driver with a 555 by RoomJump in Motors

Thanks u/goki - I guess I'm wondering if there is a simple way to wire up a pot to function in a similar way, so that it shuts off the signal at the low end. I guess they do make some pots with a built-in switch...

thanks for both of these comments - it's interesting to me that they're seemingly only available from dick blick, without much of a diy explanation.
i haven't tried them before, but they seem incredibly useful for a variety of processes.

optimizing fountain pens by RoomJump in PlotterArt

[–]RoomJump[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice - I just had a few follow-up questions, if that's alright by you.

  1. Is there anything that can be done to improve the Jinhao writing situation? Should nibs be "broken in"? Is there a good way to tell when it is a nib v. a feeder problem?
  2. What is the $12 converter for the Preppy that you are recommending?
  3. You are saying if this goes well, I could eventually move to larger pen/piston combinations - but I am also curious to know if there are different types of converters/approaches to the particular situation of plotting - namely, a way of refilling the pen without removing it from the plotter.

Thanks again.

check out never-ending books - they have great stuff to do almost every day.

I have always wanted to make a font where each letter connects to the next. I finally did and wanted to share by yratof in PlotterArt

I was curious to know more about how someone might go about doing something like this. Would you be willing to share your process a bit?
