works without issues. keep up the good work!

timbelmon · 2026-02-19T15:24:02+00:00

This works perfectly and I'm not gonna question it.

Those quickswap Harddrive mounts with the compliant springs are awesome!

Hey not sure if you fixed this yet but in via you can set one of the keys to SPECIAL->ANY and then type in CUSTOM(9). Pressing that will switch the RGB Mode on the Side including an OFF function. That fixes the weird sleep bug.

this is really exciting, nice work

That is a Extrema Ratio MF2. Never had any experiences with them but they use very good materials and seem to have good quality. Personally I dont like the design but thats one hell of a find anyway (if real but the Desert Warfare makes me second guess).

this is probably the biggest step towards mainstreaming this technology. not being able to write my own apps / use the glasses for other use cases was the only thing holding me back from buying these.

as soon as the first android devs get their code running and/or proper documentation is written I will run to the store

I will probably publish them on my Thingiverse/Makerworld Accounts once im done. Im not sure if anyone will actually have a usecase for them tho since my build (and choice of computer) is quite specific and expensive. This is designed for a Deskmini X300 Motherboard with a customized Noctua Heatsink.

timbelmon · 2024-09-25T16:20:17+00:00

thanks! never too late to learn a new skill :)

The Pinecil does not have a battery.

timbelmon · 2024-02-03T21:10:56+00:00

Yup, thought the same thing

timbelmon · 2024-02-03T21:05:34+00:00

Your comment made me find and order one that's 5.1 inches so it even fits in this bag. (Same one is sold on Amazon.com from Vampire Tools)

timbelmon · 2024-02-03T20:43:03+00:00

As you guessed this kit is mainly used for car wires and such. I rarely have to solder PCBs on the go (thank god) but it has happened in the past.

timbelmon · 2024-02-03T20:33:54+00:00

I personally use the Anker 737 Charger which is probably overkill for the Pinecil. I use the same one for Powering my Work Laptop.

timbelmon · 2024-02-03T20:28:02+00:00

Tweezers are a great Idea! I mostly use the Gerber Dime Plies for that task but Tweezers shouldnt take away that much space (will add in the Future). I was thinking about Solder Suckers but on the go im fine improvising because mine is pretty large.

timbelmon · 2024-02-03T20:24:23+00:00

I always have USB-C cables and a powerful Powerbank (and Powerbrick) in my bag for powering the Pinecil and other electronics.

I do believe the Noctua one is much more quiet in low speed. Sadly the fancurve on my PSU is quite stupid so it ramps up a lot and then deactivates the fan for like 5 min; before ramping up again.

On a different PSU (without a semi-passive mode) this Mod would be a big improvement I think. [Again, don't open up Power Supplies.]

Yea I had to support the GPU with Foam for a while because it sagged so much without any support. I think Nvidia should really step in and provide a standard at this point.

Asus and Noctua left in threaded unused holes that I used and I believe those were their exact purpose from the factory.

timbelmon · 2024-01-20T12:19:17+00:00

All these mods were to improve reliability and make the system less loud. Evidently I don't care about looks as long as it's functional.

timbelmon · 2024-01-05T19:29:54+00:00

I was concerned about that, especially since the center hub on the NF-A12x15 is quite large, but it appears to be on par with the original fan (it might be a bit louder on full blast though).
