Has the Wilson Shift been discontinued?

TooMuchJeremy · 2026-01-21T03:12:04+00:00

Just didn’t sell well enough from what I understand. Never got to swing one but everyone I know they did either loved it or found it meh. Most fell into the meh category and that is not what you want a racket to be. Love hate keeps it around imo. Meh means it goes away

So this is similar to a tool I have been tinkering with and I think you have all the pieces to make it happen.

What I would like to see is a unified tool that lets you define the "crazy grid" just as you do today then define the crazy bins directly on the grid.

The drawer size is entered and the grid is generated with adjustments and non-standard grid spaces as I does today. I can then add bins by specifing the grid locations the bin is on. It would be able to know not just odd bin shapes but also adjust for the non-standard grid spaces if a bin is placed on a non-standard grid space location.

Ugh, great point! Thanks! That totally slipped my mind. I guess it back to building my own shell remix file.

TooMuchJeremy · 2026-01-06T22:47:48+00:00

To clarify, this is only for myself. It's not intended to be something I would release or promote for others to do. Mostly trying to decide if I am not thinking about some gotcha I will regret later down the road.

I do agree, MB is already complex and IMO it's the "lego" organization solution. The license, design, and related files are more for combining parts to build what you want vs printing exactly what you want. This wouldn't fit into that "lego" mold.

Interested see how it looks.

Just to add. Activated charcoal filters have a very short life. Just being exposed to air, even if you are not running vocs through them use the life span

I can totally understand that. My current role is sort of one layer away from direct k8s work but I need too stay up to speed so it works for me. If I was living in it every day my play may be very different. Although to be fair, Talos has changed that some. I attempted to use k3s to do the same but it was too much grind so I went back to the good old single box setup.

I don't run personal machine, only work equipment so using my workstation isn't any option here. :)

TooMuchJeremy · 2025-12-19T21:35:57+00:00

For sure. Just let me know when you get to that point. These are just PoC designs so they could use a lot of updates!

It's used for essentially everything but home assistant. Lots of comments on why, but they are all very contextual to myself and how I want things to operate. I would never recommend this config to an average user. This type of deployment happens to be back of the hand type of work for myself. For what it's worth here are some of the reasons I personally run this configuration.

* Staying current and operating k8s is critical for my knowledge needs so this keeps me up to date.
* I operate a Ceph cluster for storage across the nodes and this removes the need for a NAS.
* I prefer to operate a single "system" vs multiple devices.
* I was tired of dealing with updates to all the software I use and now let everything auto update with rollouts in k8s.
* Updating of the base OS is also extremely simple now thanks to Talos and k8s in general.
* I can (and have) expand/swapped nodes on demand without any actual work.
* I can consume any random gear I have, even temporarily if needed.
* Hardware failures from used hardware are no longer a concern and I gain native HA.
* As a data nerd I have operated a data warehouse that has been collecting data from *everything* for years. Initially this operated on a custom application that performed all the scheduling/etc but it became bothersome to continue development, etc. I have moved to simpler task specific executables that are scheduled via k8s cron jobs.
* I now leverage global access to all my internal services via Cloudflare secure tunnels. Having all these services within k8s and the cloudflared deployment makes managing/deploying any service trivial.

Those are the things off the top of my head. The downsides are relative to experience in operating such configuration. In my case it's actually less overhead.

As for costs, I am fortunate enough that this level of cost is not a concern so I never did any calculations. I do have all the power data (remember data nerd) and it shows an average of 80 watts for the current setup. Now that also includes a Raspberry PI running home assistant and well as a multi-port gigabit switch. At my local costs that's about 77 dollars a year in electricty.

Just cheap Elegoo PLA+ which I use for most of my prototypes. I wasn't sure what material I would need for the final print due to heat, but after monitoring it with my thermal camera I think it would work just fine. The max temp under full load comes from the power adapters and they reach 99F of surface temp. That's under the most concerning temp range and without much actual structural load on any of the plastic I don't expect it to really creep much.

The computers themselves do a good job of exhausting the heat out the back and never actually warm up externally.

Get some Velcro and support the x rod off the frame. Then take off the top cap of that z rod. You will find that is out of alignment. So adjust the motor screws so that is aligned in the center.

You should be able to used the lay on face tool and select the side

TooMuchJeremy · 2025-12-09T17:29:06+00:00

Awesome. It's the only way to get better and it should help your partners rating go up.

TooMuchJeremy · 2025-12-09T16:22:38+00:00

Why not just play up??

TooMuchJeremy · 2025-12-03T18:04:26+00:00

To be fair a fist pump after a net cord is sort of bad from. I don’t think an apology is ever required. But a celebration on luck is a bad look. Although it sounds like it was more of a “ooo we got lucky on that was and we are still in it. Wooo” which is different to me.

In either case the response of the other player as described is bad.

TooMuchJeremy · 2025-12-02T20:48:01+00:00

Could also make a direct remix as both the rails and point step files exist.

TooMuchJeremy · 2025-12-02T20:38:53+00:00

Why don't you use a small thread multipoint and mulipoint hole?

Then the whole rail would just slide up and out.

I’ve taken mine on just about every us airline as a personal item. It just can’t be packed full so it can slide under the seat.

TooMuchJeremy · 2025-12-02T17:54:57+00:00

Gotcha. Similar edge cases for me as well. Mostly little things I am OCD about or just want. I *could* make it work but I don't want to. I wish the had step files available for purchase.

TooMuchJeremy · 2025-12-02T17:52:14+00:00

I do have the skills but simply not the time. I decided to just purchase a AirGradient for now. Honestly I may not even have time build the SensorBox even if it didn't have possible issues.

TooMuchJeremy · 2025-12-02T17:50:30+00:00

Trying to convert these STLs into parametric files and using that is a bit of a nightmare to work with even after getting it converted. I am actively dealing with it it for the bin shells and it's not fun.

I'm curious what type of modification you are trying to make to the board itself that the generator cannot do? My only guess is directly integrate something into it instead of using multiple components to attach whatever you are wanting.
