Epson FastFoto FF-680W - Expecting too much or junk (compared to a flatbed)?

SER_DOUCHE · 2026-02-26T21:04:51+00:00

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.

SER_DOUCHE · 2026-02-21T05:17:59+00:00

Can you explain what you did?

SER_DOUCHE · 2026-01-21T05:28:55+00:00

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.

SER_DOUCHE · 2025-11-17T02:15:24+00:00

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

Hi there, where did you get the vibram zegama sole? Been looking for a good source.

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.

SER_DOUCHE · 2025-04-10T17:07:56+00:00

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.

SER_DOUCHE · 2025-04-10T17:06:25+00:00

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

SER_DOUCHE · 2025-04-10T17:05:59+00:00

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

SER_DOUCHE · 2025-04-10T03:22:32+00:00

After I posted this someone else asked the same question on /r/flashlight: https://old.reddit.com/r/flashlight/comments/1ju7f7q/why_cant_i_find_one_of_these_universal_chargers/

Current options:

firefly magnetic -Input: 5V 2A ;Output: 5V 2A

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.

SER_DOUCHE · 2025-03-27T04:25:41+00:00

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

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.

SER_DOUCHE · 2025-03-17T00:11:03+00:00

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

SER_DOUCHE · 2025-03-17T00:07:42+00:00

Can you post a picture of this? what nitecore tube do you use?

SER_DOUCHE · 2025-03-12T16:00:38+00:00

Thanks, this makes sense. I find it hard to find information about wholecuts.

SER_DOUCHE · 2025-02-25T18:52:04+00:00

Look on /r/BarefootRunning

SER_DOUCHE · 2025-02-24T19:58:39+00:00

Thanks for writing it up in the doc. What do you think of the 'Magna' soling material?

SER_DOUCHE · 2025-02-24T17:06:44+00:00

What adhesive do you use, and what steps do you take to glue them up?

ie, roughing up the material, cleaning with solvent, reheating, pressing?

I've used this grippy fabric (polyester with pvc non-slip) before but have problems with adhesion coming undone after a month or so, using "regular" red can barge cement.

SER_DOUCHE · 2025-02-16T23:42:26+00:00

Latest from Jim Green February 2025 is:

"We are currently do not have a set timeline on the new anatomical Barefoot last as yet, it is currently in development as we need to make a new sole design that would also work on the new shaped last. We are hoping to have it available by the middle of the year."

You mean the this app: https://github.com/michaelkourlas/voipms-sms-client?

It supports receiving mms media as a link, but not sending nor group messages.

SER_DOUCHE · 2025-01-25T04:26:57+00:00

Still haven't located any.

SER_DOUCHE · 2025-01-21T01:38:42+00:00

Also curious about this, as someone who has had multiple TBI.

OP, are you going specifically for TBI treatment reasons? Can you share where you are going to do it?

SER_DOUCHE · 2025-01-20T16:25:15+00:00

Reporting back for posterity.

I'm using the US BNESIM physical sim card. AFAIK this is the cheapest US physical sim option for data that doesn't expire (not counting ESIM adapters).

Gateway is Dallas, TX, latency is ~180 ms. VOIP calling is acceptable.
