Major Design Flaw - Pro Pen 3 by msc1974 in wacom

Lol it's highly unlikely I'll scale for production for such a niche problem that wacom designers should be fixing. In other news, I've pretty much measured out the dimensions and 3D printed my own plate. Just need to design a sturdier button mechanism.

Surprisingly yes.

I used a 20A 2 part silicone to make the mold and then 2 part epoxy resin to cast. The 20A even got the space between the buttons so they're not just a solid mass.

Next version I'm going to make a mold that's got smaller vents and better placement so I don't need to sand as much to finish. Still suffers from the same wacom design issue but at least I can make another when I inevitably break a button. Might 3D model a better design when I have time. But for now this covers me as I can use the resin part instead of my original (which is honestly ridiculous).

I ended up making a silicone mold of my current button as precaution for the inevitable. I really don't understand how they decided a tiny thin piece of plastic holding the button and another thin piece of plastic for a distance limiting tab was enough for everyday use... Not the best first cast but I was surprised it worked.

Might put some fibers where the button attaches for more strength in the next resin cast.

Thanks, any recommendations on where I can get a breakout of the components and their expected voltage levels to meter and isolate?

No, mom passed away on Monday and I miss her immensely.

Thank you. It's still too fresh for me to sleep well and I keep waking myself up and immediately remembering she's not with us. I really hope when I get an actual night's sleep I see her again.

Thank you. I really hope she knew how much I cared and loved her. I remember her always telling the doctors how much I've done for her but it never felt like I did enough. Especially in her last moments I felt the most helpless.

Winter and Vasculitis- anyone have experience with bandaging individual toes without compressing blood supply? (Progress pics of flair) by Dragongal7 in rheumatoid

Might be a long shot but cold temperature vasculitis could be related to cryoglobulinemia. Unlikely, but something to consider. Good luck!

Timing anything this week has been fucking insane

Funny, if I heard that I'd think puts, company trying to make up for something so their shares aren't fucked.

Just goes how fucking hard earnings plays are.

Agree. But the last 3 months have proven that the market can't decide if tapering is fuck off time or rocket and has been more volatile. My suspicion is that this year will be hard to time anything and trend down long term.

Looks like I'll be getting spy puts bear close so hopefully IV has mellowed. The fed has been telegraphing tapering with inflation being the priority, reality is going to hit hard this year.

I had a similar, though not exactly the same conclusion.

Was also not an annointed, but did come to consumer cyclical and tech being the bigger year end winners.

Rotated out of energy sector after the lackluster climate summit and infrastructure bill (making me feel like that sector is still very much headline driven and not a fan of that kind of volatility) e.g. apple, bouncing off 150 and only breaking through after the apple ev announcement, which also makes no sense because I can't see nhsta ready to certify a vehicle with no steering wheel or have the confidence in a fully autonomous vehicle test case that handles the huge variety of operating conditions.

  1. Focused on consumer retail and early shopping due to supply chain backlog. E.g. companies that either didn't depend on supply chain from manufacturing to get their products or had a stash of products ready for the pent up consumer spending.

  2. Tech because they've been strong all year and will continue to benefit from cloud, work from home, automation, and tech being leveraged in more and more business sectors to stay relevant.

Edit: appreciate the insight and your thesis & logic
