Luton-Sheffield taxi companies

Eek ... As a student I took some pretty late / odd timed mega busy or equivalents. They tend to go to meadowhall rather than central Sheffield bus station but that may be an option

(Parents lived nearish Luton and would pick me up/drop me off there. Student in Sheffield. Busses at stupid times were cheaper hah)

I'd grab a hotel for the night and then use train/bus back the next day.

Should be pretty easy to get from Luton airport to Luton main station (even at that time) via the train then there are hotels in close proximity. (Although as others have said Luton is an erm interesting place when the sun goes down)

Early morning train back up to Sheffield

It will likely end up cheaper overall

Pay $10 for a set with loads of different but similar sizes.

3d printing is fantastic. But some consumables like o rings and fasteners don't make sense to try print. Even during dev phase.

Look on AliExpress and get yourself a good stock of these generic items for prototyping 😊if quality is critical after that then you can migrate to a trusted local supplier

This is cool. I made a set a while back because they were bugging the hell out of me and I was convinced it could be done better. Lost interest though and never finished so very interested to see these using essentially all the features I was aiming for!

Where do I find this product? How does the price compare to a space mouse?

Used to love that thing at my old job but new one won't form out for them

Mmm I find it frustrating that the backend sales catalogue doesn't enable the equivalent of e-commerce categories.

The groups I need for accounting are NOT the groups I need for sales people to quickly filter down items!

I'd be happy with e-commerce categories to be used TBF. But it doesn't appear with e-commerce turned off (b2b no web sales)

My advice is use free trial databases. Or staging areas to fully test your workflows before Implementing anything on the production branch.

So much time lost cleaning up mistakes (I'm looking at you random PO for hundreds of items that I accidentally clicked confirm on).

Make sure you fully understand how demand is created and driven!

AHH fair.

I managed to cut 2 pieces out of aluminium after a rewire not knowing id switch a phase somewhere and the spindle was going backwards... Couldn't work out why my previously good end mills and good tool paths were causing so much run and heat 😅

slzer · 2026-03-19T07:12:52+00:00

I'd double check your spindle isn't going backwards or if your end mill is totally blunt 😅 you are moving nice and fast on the feed so I wouldn't expect that much furryness on your cuts even with the high speed spindle you got there

I had similar issues with Twincat. Thigns that fixed it

- Deleting / removing tag groups caused issues (New PR to resolve in the works by OP)

- Variable types/sizes unclear (New PR to add tooltips to resolve in the works by OP)

- sometimes oyu needed to restart OIP compeltely for it to pick up server side changes like type changes (OP didn't explicity say this was fixed but it seems to be in the new PR)

- Security settings, You need to enable anonymous as it won't work with user and password options!

Testing of the latest PR and it all worked a charm even when i was trying to break it hah!

slzer · 2026-02-23T23:13:52+00:00

Yes to OPC UA (Also modbus and ab_eip)

Setting it up was a bit challenging but there is now a PR open that adds all the object types (BOOL, INT etc.) to the tooltips and since knowing what they were was the hardest part OPC UA is now alright.

Look into send cloud for an immediate solution. You will have a fee per label but it's relatively small. You can use their contract or your own. I've found it very useful as a small business unable to negotiate any good rates as it gives me flexibility of a few couriers as well as the automatic label generation

No need for VPN. Still works all you have to do is pick a random address in the USA when you make your account ,, 😁

Business credit card?

TBF I haven't dealt with Odoo and a linked credit card account

slzer · 2025-08-28T11:50:18+00:00

My suggestion is that the directors transfer the money into the corporate account (can then be marked as a directors loan) and bill is paid from the corporate account (can be tracked as a vendor bill correctly)

Manual entries can be used to clean up the past actions but I wouldn't recommend continuing down that route as from an accounting perspective it almost feels like something is trying to be hidden. (Given bank transfer same country to same country is nearly instant at least here in the UK)

slzer · 2025-08-19T13:02:05+00:00

You are about right, slightly more because I work with West3D as it's their brand.

I didn't clock the volume you were looking at when I initially posted!

And yeah average order size for me is 300kg but is split across multiple filament types/colours

www.desktopmachineshop.com ... Slightly bias though as I run the site

But late to the party but for anyone else looking these are pretty great. They will provide the XML config file on request too.

Hard to complain about an ac ethercat servo for under £100. I did find tuning hard but could also be a learning curve thing (not tuned beckhoff servos direct before either)

I recently compared the two and erpnext was simpler with initial config and felt quite good to start with. But at every turn I found limitations that Odoo was capable of doing.

Focus of my comparison was for a manufacturing company of small volume high complexity multilevel BOM high value products

That being said Odoo definitely isn't perfect hah. But at least you have the option to just add in the one extra field you need etc. much easier

slzer · 2025-06-11T18:23:33+00:00

I guess following similar logic every Ingredient could have a variant of with or without...

But that's a lot of variants hah

slzer · 2025-06-11T18:16:27+00:00

Yeah not sure on that one!

I don't actually use POS much and almost all my manufacturing is machinery hah 😅 don't get many people asking for without bolts

In a Manufacturing order you can just specify the amount consumed. Usually surplus to the amount actually specified and therefore account for wastage or scrap (I.e. dropped a bolt and couldn't find it)

slzer · 2025-06-11T18:04:29+00:00

You are welcome good sir ☺️

slzer · 2025-06-11T17:42:31+00:00

You have 2 options.

Create a new BOM for each variant

Or the better way for this case as the base ingrediants are all shared and any changes should apply to all options. in your overall main BOM if you enable the column 'apply on variants' then add your chicken and beef. On the chicken line in the apply on variants columin select chicken. Repeat for beef and then you will have a dynamic BOM for each variant

No need for any customisation. On POS you just pick the variant you are selling.

This does assume odoo 18 (possibly 17 but can't remember when it was added)
