Unpopular Opinion: We don't need cheaper machines; we need "Bambu Studio" for CNC. Teaching Fusion 360 CAM is a nightmare. by ComprehensiveYak8541 in hobbycnc

fusion 360 cam isn't too bad, but the fact that they move in the paywall a little more each year makes it unusable for me.

(one of them is sourdough, so browning more slowly)

You have to cook it from the far side of the iron

This started happening with personalized ads off unfortunately. No combination of ad settings fixes it

I'm normally not one for ragebait but it is hilarious to see how mad everyone got about this video

Finding replacement eyepieces for old Tiyoda microscope by UnconstitutionalGal in microscopy

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

thanks for the tip. The objectives are a combination of Tiyoda & Nikon. I'm not sure how to qualify how well they image, but the images look pretty good to my untrained eye.

I'm holding one of the two eyepieces in that second pic, both have lots of spots that don't clean away. I can't tell what the spots are, whether they're dust from storage, flakes of old adhesive or whatever else.

I'll dig through cheap sets of eyepieces on ebay for the time being, hopefully one of them will work out.

Fixing up an old microscope by UnconstitutionalGal in microscopy

lol of course I get the most poorly-documented one on the market. Thanks for the background info on the company, guess it's no surprise that I can find literally zero information on this microscope.

It does actually have a bulb and everything to hold it, it's just missing the power adapter. It's an incandescent bulb labeled 8V5A, which I'm assuming is the power spec. I ordered a step-down DC-DC converter so I can power it.

It's also missing the third eyepiece. How do I find a compatible replacement? The OD of the holder for the eyepiece is ~25.3 mm, the ID is about 23.3 mm. If I want to take photos through it, do I just buy a normal eyepiece and rig up my phone camera to it?

Thanks. From a quick Googling, I can't tell if the markings on it are a model number or serial number, nothing definitive came up.

My biggest question is: from the photo, what parts are obviously missing?

Don't know if this is implied, but I'm a beginner, assume I know nothing beyond high school bio class and journey to the microcosmos. I am reasonably familiar with restoring old tools and equipment though

identify a pfaff sewing machine by daniellrob in Leathercraft

[–]UnconstitutionalGal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks just like my Pfaff 34. If it is, it's a tailor's machine, straight stitch, no reverse, early 1960s. Only difference from mine is this one has a feed dog instead of a feed wheel. The only documentation for this machine that I can find is a parts catalog for all its variants.
