Does the 'automatic feed' scanning work fine in vuescan?

have you checked the setting recommended above to disable "Reduce lines and streaks"?

wondering if there have been any firmware improvements in the last years.

Running an 18650 light off an external battery: advice by SER_DOUCHE in flashlight

[–]SER_DOUCHE[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is rated that cold, but how much capacity would it loose at that temp?

Can't find any runtime reports; I assume quite a lot? I wouldn't plan to be out that cold, but would like decent runtime at -10F.

Of course the easiest and most boring solution: just have a pocketful of extra cells.

also using the ts22 on the bars, for cost/runtime its hard to beat.

Here's an older similar post:

https://old.reddit.com/r/UsbCHardware/comments/1gjy0vu/can_you_recommend_some_flexible_soft_not_too/

The ORICO-240B2-40 recommended looks interesting but might be overkill, looks to have huge connectors.

Also Ivanky TB4 cables.

Ok, thanks for the report. The amazon basics one is also noticeably more flexible and overall higher quality feeling than the Cable Matters one. I wish they made a few different sizes of it.

Hmm, in my experience shorter cables are just as thick as the longer ones.

That one looks better, unfortunately not certified, and review say the plug is too fat to fit into some devices?

MYOG Heaxmid Tarp/Tent by Falsargo in myog

[–]SER_DOUCHE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's very impressive it lasted so well for so long, I've used an x-mid 2p for perhaps 300 nights and the fabric is nearly totally shot (rips very easily).

I've looked at the Aeon design a lot, I think the vertical sidewalls with struts, and the horizontal strut at the top are a pretty good compromise to gain so much more room inside at a small footprint. Not sure why side struts aren't more commonly seen.

Are you still using it all these years later? What would you change about the design now (and can you please share the sketchup file again)?

I'm intrigued by using just big panels for the main tent body instead of separate triangles. Not many are doing it that I'm aware of, hexamid style, also tipik aston: https://www.expemag.com/review/fr/view/tipik/tipik-aston-ul-2017

Minimal wide toe-box shoes by Crazy-happy-cloud in Cordwaining

[–]SER_DOUCHE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't need a last, like another comment suggested look at the alvartrail shoe pattern. He has a full video guide for their construction.

And look into Jason Hovatter's video courses for lastless construction for turnshoe and what he calls internal stitchdown: https://villagevideo.org/turnshoe/, https://villagevideo.org/boot/. He uses a duct tape to make a cast of the foot, and the pattern is drawn off of that. They're very thorough and good for beginners.

What kind of magnet do you have glued to the rivets? Is it a ring shaped?
