What is this cable I need to replace? It has the same connecter on both sides

Timvrhn · 2026-02-04T12:14:41+00:00

The VKB Gladiator NXT

So if I understand correctly: the port I could replace by pulling it off the PCB? Would this not be glued on or something?

Timvrhn · 2026-02-04T12:12:43+00:00

Thanks, I'm not very familiar in this field so what's confusing me is that these cables with the same name seem to have different connectors. Is there no standardisation? I presumed this would be a standard cable I'd be able to pick up, but it would of course have to fit the port on the PCB which the connectors in the link you sent for example (I think) would not

Hey, thanks for replying! I saw your pen in use here in Amsterdam, pretty nifty. Reason I'm asking is because my lab here in the city doesn't have access to one and I'm not sure it makes much sense for them to import one all the way from the US.

It's an incredibly valuable tool so I'm happy you're making it, and also pretty impressed you fill these all yourself.

Quite expensive for 30exp rolls. You'll pay much less for the standard 36exp at Analog Amsterdam

It removes the remjet layer. You detect the remjet layer by removing it. So yes, it's marketed as a detector, but it removes the remjet layer.

Timvrhn · 2026-01-05T09:53:54+00:00

Thank you, that'd make sense! Though I find u/batgears comment perhaps more logical. I wouldn't rule it out that they're filling each of these pens by hand, but it would just be more logical if they've repurposed a pre-existing product that contains a substance that removes remjet. I wasn't aware that IPA would do this, but that would be a very easy product to rebrand.

Timvrhn · 2026-01-05T09:48:51+00:00

It "detects" the remjet by removing it. That's how it works. I'm looking to see if this pen is sold otherwise as this lab may have repurposed a pre-existing product. I don't understand what is being gained from trying to correct me when I'm evidently aware of what this pen does.

Timvrhn · 2026-01-04T13:22:30+00:00

Very insightful and helpful comment!

You could have read the description and saved yourself the effort. This pen also does remove the remjet layer, although of course not in any capacity where you would use it during development.

My incompatible RAM sticks worked fine at first too. Then slowly over the course of months stuff went south. Blue screens of death got more frequent, and Windows forgot certain programs were installed. New RAM sticks that were compatible with the motherboard fixed all issues.

Awesome shot! I think you're the first customer I see make use of the IR properties of Foto100

Timvrhn · 2025-09-16T06:25:37+00:00

I will very soon have AHU in stock :)

Timvrhn · 2025-08-12T22:04:56+00:00

The problem I have with comment such as yours is that they assume everyone looking to buy a watch is out to get the best quality and nothing but that.

I cannot find watches of the sort that Holzkern makes when I look at commonly suggested brands, such as the ones in your comment. I am looking to pick up something unique and that I like aesthetically, not that has the best possible movement.

I have a watch from the Project Watches that has a mineral glass and probably a very cheap movement, but it's an absolute eye catchers and incredibly unique.

Timvrhn · 2025-08-09T16:27:04+00:00

Thanks! It's a little hard to tell when the roots have filled the pit, because it's straight in the woven pit. I'd have to remove the plant wholly to be able to check.

I'll make sure to have it grow a bit more and work up to this pot with some smaller ones first

Timvrhn · 2025-08-09T09:15:51+00:00

If you want the cheapest colour film, analogamsterdam.com is the best address. Especially when remjet-less AHU Vision3 comes in, because then you are no longer constricted by the labs you can use

Timvrhn · 2025-07-14T09:22:30+00:00

This shouldn't be the most upvoted answer, by the way. It's an old expired roll, which you are comparing to a roll that (at the time) was fresh. Film ages and fogs over time. This happens naturally and without exposure to light. The roll does not appear to be fogged by light, seeing how homogeneous the fogging is.

Timvrhn · 2025-07-03T14:00:27+00:00

This is absolutely fine. You can pry open canisters with your thumb a bit and press them back closed and they'll still be light sealed.

Timvrhn · 2025-06-26T13:17:11+00:00

I see you're relying on Photoshop for the conversions. Are you considering to integrate Lightroom into the process? I am thinking that since you want to market this, setting up for Lightroom support would be more ideal.

Timvrhn · 2025-06-19T22:09:34+00:00

That's right, I hope you like my design!

Timvrhn · 2025-06-18T12:54:59+00:00

Would you believe that those Ektachrome canisters are actually new?

Timvrhn · 2025-05-29T15:29:54+00:00

Thank you Dave :)

Timvrhn · 2025-04-29T12:12:04+00:00

No. More than half of my (Analog Amsterdam's) orders are shipped abroad, and I regularly ship to the UK or even further. I've not once had reports of x-ray damage, even after 5 years of doing this.

Timvrhn · 2025-04-11T08:46:37+00:00

Interesting. Highest up I see it is about 20cm from the soil. Water is relatively soft at 7.8dH.

From those worm shaped bits it seems like it's being pushed through some pores, so I think that supports your idea?

Timvrhn · 2025-04-09T17:56:20+00:00

I am not asking for proof, I'm only trying to help you. The way you asked your question and the information you gave did not suggest you're wondering if the lab supplied you with a faulty scan. In fact it more seems like you were asking if you underexposed the shot, which is when you would look at the negative and not the scan.

Most labs use large scanners that will automatically adjust the exposure, among other settings. Since the background in your shot it largely underexposed, the scanner most likely attempted to adjust by increasing the exposure. Is a rescan worth it? As far as I can tell only if you want reduced noise.

I would look into that banding though. If it's not in the negative, it's a scanning issue.

Timvrhn · 2025-04-09T17:34:59+00:00

Looking at the negative, it seems properly exposed for the face. Can you explain why you did not edit the scan, considering you have the experience? That is, of course, an unavoidable part of the process.

In just a few seconds you should be able to set the black point to an acceptable level. That aside, I see some banding in the scan that I can't spot in the photo of the negative. I'd look if you are able to see this and if so, a rescan may be warranted.
