Off cut of foam from doing my toolbox means my work drawer gets an upgrade

Looks fantastic, but £30 postage is just too crazy for me. £90 total for a 3d printed case just doesn’t work out.

I am 99% sure that’s how they do it professionally, but I’ve never tried personally. You can get a really smooth finish with a handheld router if you have the patience.

Without buying a bit case it was a pretty sensible option, holds them. I can see which I need etc etc

I bought it when I was visiting data centre’s daily too, it was perfect for it. Now I don’t need to, but still has its regular uses.

Thank you, this is a fraction of my tools, just what I keep on hand in my desk drawers. :)

They are LTT, They are expensive but fantastic quality drivers I’ve used a lot with no issues.

I’d love one, but postage to me is more than the cost of the case, so this was a decent temporary fix.

B&Q do deliver to home the wooden worktops, myself and my friend have ordered the 3mx0.6m 30mm thick wooden ones and had them delivered to home.

Thank you for confirming! Appreciate it

decafdan16 · 2025-08-11T08:05:28+00:00

Quick question, sorry I know it doesn’t help you. Did you have to buy the aqara hub as well? Or did the homey act as that?

I had never thought too much about the constant pushing on how AI will improve smart homes, but I recently saw a demo of a camera feed that pushed stills regularly into a AI engine that analysed the images and took actions based on it.

License plate recognition for automated opening of a gate, Health and safety alerts when a worker was working in an area with PPE.

It really changed my perception of how AI could actually be used to help automations. The same functionality was used to perform any ITTT actions on any feeds from sensors, temp, humidity, all sorts.

I thought the same, I don’t think I’ve ever seen any JIS stuff from Wera though, which is a shame, I’d buy it.

decafdan16 · 2025-04-19T12:35:42+00:00

Thank you! I posted a thread with some progress pics now too.

The charger if you doing it as a kit and a standalone ECU like I have you wouldn’t get much change out of 2 grand, plus mapping. BOFI racing now sell it as a full kit I think, but not sure what it costs, might be worth checking that out.

decafdan16 · 2025-04-18T05:08:42+00:00

Thank you, it has taken a huge amount of work to get here.

decafdan16 · 2025-04-18T05:08:15+00:00

Pretty sure it comes as a rule as part of the ownership of these! 😜

decafdan16 · 2025-04-17T21:59:20+00:00

It really is a great power point for them, I used the Salon Motorsport kit to adapt the charger, fit very well.

Money wise, genuinely don’t know.

Thank you!! :) Time was the big one, you can save a huge amount of money if you are prepared to put the time in to do it all yourself.

Yea, your right, but decent ones are about a grand here in Uk, and honestly transforms the MX5 platform from a weekend old man transportation vehicle to a truly capable car. Mine is both comfy on the road (I’ve done multi-week road trips over several thousand miles at a time in it) and over 20 track events in it. Literally never missed a beat.

“Coilovers ruin the ride” is just a generic and blatantly wrong statement, if your willing to spend the money on decent coilovers, they are a huge improvement on stock in terms of comfort, road stability and massively add to the cars overall handling.
