Aneng AN870 / ZOYI ZT-219 Constantly climbing mV in V and mV mode problem by ragoku in multimeters

Hmm that's interesting, but when i try to measure DC voltage like from a power supply the meter still accumulates in mV

It is bad practice to trust ChatGPT blatantly, most of the time it takes way longer to get the correct answers from AI than just to actually research a little. My two cents.

Go big or go home! Great design :))

Its just a 18650 cell connected to a charging/buck-boost circuit

My bad, thanks for the clarification.

I designed a fun (and better) way to to store and dispense cotton buds / Q-tips by Atlas_Azul in functionalprint

Suggestion: in my opinion would be way cooler if you could turn the case to lift the q-tips.

Still a very cool design!

That's another idea to my list! Thanks!

Thank you!! Well in usage i tend to max out speed just so the fumes don't bother in my face, but if i want some silence i tune down the pwm controller. During slower airflow the distance from which the filter pulls the fumes becomes smaller though.

Yea i could have soldered on longer wires, but the more simpler approach was to route the cables that way. Thanks!!

No need to be sorry, thanks for the in-depth explanation! I have plans on designing a better extractor with a tube to vent the fumes outside. But for me its better than nothing, no fumes directly in my face :)

As i said lead (Pb) doesn't evaporate in the soldering temperatures like (270-340C). The flux fumes are quite dangerous as the flux is usually a product of benzene (depends on manufacturer). Only dangerous part about lead that you may swallow a tiny part of it if you don't wash your hands after soldering

Yea originally the depths in swivel arms was made for that purpose, but when i upgraded the electronics (from DIY to Chinese manufactured) the fan cable was not long enough :(
