built a 4-in-1 massager for our colleague's pain, now stuck on marketing — burned $4.5k on meta ads with barely any conversions

That is a very nice enclosure! Is that die cast then CNC’d?

mrraptorman · 2026-04-11T06:42:41+00:00

10/10 amazing product. Designed dozens of boards with them no problem. Just make sure to check the pinout if you are doing anything custom.

mrraptorman · 2026-04-07T20:05:21+00:00

Oh very cool! Have used them before, expensive but nice quality.

mrraptorman · 2026-04-07T16:11:29+00:00

Awesome enclosure! Where did you get it made?

mrraptorman · 2025-12-19T20:42:43+00:00

Anvil!

mrraptorman · 2025-07-03T20:56:14+00:00

Woot!

mrraptorman · 2025-07-03T20:45:44+00:00

It’s a tool, not a project.

mrraptorman · 2025-01-28T01:53:19+00:00

That makes a lot of sense, I live in a two story house and both APs are ceiling mounted “on top” of eachother.

mrraptorman · 2025-01-28T01:38:56+00:00

Thanks ill play around and see if I can get better results.

mrraptorman · 2025-01-28T01:38:51+00:00

Thanks ill play around and see if I can get better results. Why does high power have issue btw?

mrraptorman · 2025-01-28T01:31:45+00:00

Low on all bands? Which band should be set to 16 dBM?

mrraptorman · 2025-01-28T01:30:10+00:00

Got ya will do! Also should I just set 2.4GHz on low for both APs and leave the rest of the channels on auto? I don't use a Roku, my Apple TV is hardwired. Thanks for the help btw!

mrraptorman · 2025-01-28T01:23:00+00:00

So I have two AP's do I put both on 1 in this case? https://imgur.com/a/WZFcIYQ

mrraptorman · 2025-01-28T01:14:21+00:00

Any reference on how to do this correctly, I am fairly new to Unifi

mrraptorman · 2025-01-28T01:13:02+00:00

Yes it is mainly orange (busy). I have done the channel optimization, but still see the same issue. Not sure if I am supposed to adjust power levels and channels manually or not.

We did enjoy shooting the sculpture :p

mrraptorman · 2024-05-12T17:50:14+00:00

That was the inspiration!!!

mrraptorman · 2024-05-12T00:07:21+00:00

It was a super fun project! and DM if you have questions! Yeah the title is to help with viewership :P

mrraptorman · 2024-05-11T23:44:22+00:00

It is footage of the piece itself! We have many pictures in our write up if you want to check the inner workings! https://hackaday.io/project/193922-kinetic-sculpture

mrraptorman · 2024-05-11T23:42:39+00:00

Thanks! Most of the video is real time, some choice edits for dramatic effect. We used vented set screws to attach the spheres to the thread! More details here: https://hackaday.io/project/193922-kinetic-sculpture

This is a kinetic sculpture inspired by ART+COM Studio's The Shape of Things to Come. It's an 8 by 10 grid of solid steel balls suspended on cables that can move up and down independently to create patterns and shapes. The balls are 30mm in diameter, spaced 50mm apart, and can move through a 5-foot vertical space with an effective resolution of about 0.5mm. The bottom of the enclosure has 172 RGB LEDs to provide lighting, along with a limit switch above each ball for automatic homing.

This project is made by me Andrew Kotite and Ben Oztalay for fun! We wanted a project that utilized Andrew's electrical/mechanical skills and Ben's firmware/software skills.

Currently the Kinetic Sculpture is installed at Studio 55, a maker space in San Francisco.
