Is there a #sports mastodon community? I think that's what I miss most on twitter hiatus.

Printed a super basic mount for the DC jack that arrived yesterday. I *really* want to get to wiring it up tonight, but I should also sleep.

Delta printers, anyway. Cartesian ones are a bit easier.

...unless your bed gets warped somehow.

@Elizafox I meant people browsing the public feed containing other instances, but I suppose they could always mute one of the accounts if it gets a bit much.

Different accounts on different instances, that is. So one here and one on cybre.space.

Is it bad practice to x-post publicly to two Masto accounts? I feel it's a bit spammy for people that browse federated timelines.

Hm.

DC jacks arrived too! I'll measure 'em, make a super basic mount in tinkercad, then install them tonight. :>

First impressions of the TS100 soldering iron…

It's bloody good. Heats up fast, and can go as low as 100c (perfect for heatshrink).

After using it to wire up the LEDs and such, I could (probably) safely say I'd be happy using this iron exclusively.

It's a bit of a pain-in-the-ass for left-handed people like myself, but there's open source firmware that fixes that issue.

Amazon seems to be the best place if you need a power adapter included (amzn.to/2yAOwIU), otherwise use AliExpress.

Lighting is more-or-less finished on the 3D printer now. Just waiting on a female DC socket; I decided to power it separately, rather than using the 12v header on the mainboard.

Will take pictures once that socket has arrived and gets installed. :3
