Yes, and I love this!

That's brilliant!
I tried, twice, to fanagle one of those. Once as you did and once with a 7.5g bucket and addon lid that's sold as a dust collector lid.
Both times only the big stuff stayed in there. All the fine powder shit straight through and clogged the filter just as fast. I'm guessing my shot vac was too strong. Centrifugal force vs brute force.
I just use drywall bags or a dollar store panty hose I've the filter at this point. Figure I'll work out an alternative when I actually have a shop instead of a basement.

The stupid OJ thing came out beautifully

One more session at the laser done! Fine tuned the focus and the settings, really happy with how it came out. Ready to receive an AionFX Blaze stuck in the mail.
Also, AI image generation + Inkscape = no talent needed whatsoever to come up with a decent looking gfx.
(Two more pedals to go, I just went ahead and ordered three right after completing my first one...)

Very nice! Lightburn?
I'm about to get going on my 10watt laser on some painted enclosures. How'd you set yours up?

Looks like a C02 laser did that. Lightburn is the best though regardless

I tried using lasergrbl and, like with most open source, I want to initiate unalive.
I have a Lightburn license, but I can't freaking find it…
But then again I've only got a 5W diode laser… going to look into the stencil route.

I have a little Neje Master 2, I think it's under 5 watts. It strips powdercoat and gets pretty detailed, nothin wrong with it!
If your lightburn license is old it probably expired, I just had to renew mine. You can use the old versions still regardless, it's just easier to keep up to date and pay it

It's a 100W CO2 laser from China with a pretty shitty software (LaserCut 1.5). I manage because I basically only use it at the very last stage, everything else is prepared either in AutoCAD for .dxf or Inkscape for "images".
My engrave parameters for black powder coated aluminum is: 350 mm/s, 15% power, 0.065 overlap, 2 passes. Clean enough for me after a bit of dish soap. CO2 are mostly powerful and slow, if you have a diode laser with less power you should look into doing more passes since you can afford doing them faster afaik.

Got a little sample pack of Gorva’s upcoming 3pdt switch release. Being a make before break type switch, I’m very interested to see if this eliminates some popping woes in otherwise quiet circuits. They’re super soft touch, it’s kind of jarring

You'll have to use up your stash of them if you go ahead and use these Gordo. They won't be 15 bucks, I'd imagine they will be the same price as their other switch or close to it. He gave me a few for free as a final beta test round, that's damn good service.

More like what is the workbench? I finished this workbench that I meant to do a year or so ago. Dual locking casters on the bottom

Turns out grips we use in the tattoo industry work well on most of my soldering irons, even if being unsightly as all hell especially after trimming to length

Yet another bass EQ pedal:
I've mostly been doing acoustic guitar oriented ones for the last few months, but I think this may be assigned to electric upright duties while I work out a new onboard format for that bass.
