That's the main use case I had in mind, yup.

With the rotary attachment you could potentially print a cock 'n' balls on a cock 'n' balls.

I decided to spray my tally light issue with the money hose and I found this for $50 on eBay instead of the $300 list price. Works rock solid so far! The only downside is you have to install Java for the software to work right. The actual light is out for delivery today but I’ve got high hopes. Figured I’d give some gut shots for the curious.

The UV print world definitely seems scary and even the cheapest printer is a big investment, but it seems like their goal was to make it easier for beginners to get into UV printing, as the Chinese A4/A3 units have a bit of a learning curve both for operation and maintenance. My old A4 is in a landfill somewhere because I got tired of spending time and money keeping it going.

As I mentioned I'm still waiting for the ink to show up as they had an issue with contamination in their magenta ink that pushed back production, but if there's interest I could certainly make a thread with my experience with the printer. I still plan to use Tayda for most stuff going forward, but I have a few special projects I'm working on that Tayda isn't set up to handle, and stuff like that is one of the reasons I wanted to pick this thing up.

Please do, I have a CNC, Laser, and 3D Printer, thinking about adding this to the shop

I decided to experiment with doing some simple control labels made from PCB stock, via OSHpark:

This thing is pretty fun to play. For the price it’s a really excellent deal considering it’s both a theremin and a drone generator (it can produce both tones at the same time). I’m gonna have to run it through some pedals next…

Latest order from Robert arrived early! Love to see it. Excited to build some fresh stuff, especially the @Chuck D. Bones Space Spiral/Sea Machine hybrid!

I spy a kewpie

Also got my order in today. I did not pay attention, so I'll likely be putting in another order for the MC op amps for the Marshall pedals

I love how they look like freeze dried food or MRE crackers


Also got some strings, but the pickups come first. Or they will, anyways.

New amp! Friedman Little Sister. Not quite in the mailbox as I grabbed it at Guitar Center, but its loud as hell for 20 watts and I love it. Takes pedals super well.

MC op amps for the Marshall pedals

regarding these opamps, i noticed this in an aionfx build doc:
The 33178 is an older op-amp, still readily available in SMD format but nearly impossible to find in DIP. We cross-referenced datasheets for dozens of different audio op-amps and found that the RC4559P is a near-exact match. It could be the case that they are truly identical and that the slight differences are due to different measurement techniques between ONSemi and Texas Instruments. But either way, it’s very close in the ways that matter—slew rate, noise figure, and gain-bandwidth product—and in our testing it sounded the same.

tl;dr - apparently you can just use a 4559

 

[Silver Blues]

Huh, I wonder then if two 4559s could replace the MC33179 indicated for the Darkglass Tone Capsule. That would make things easier.

Awesome, I'm so jealous.

For Christmas my son got a subscription to a place called try the world. Each month you get snacks from a different country. His first box came today. I am guessing it’s South Korea. Pretty cool.

 

[Locrian99]

Not my faceplates…

Ordered some faceplates just before the new year from jlcpcb. Arrived today. And inside the box, someone elses pcbs.

Im assuming this happened with the cheap shipping option because i think they ship them all in one big container then affer it arrives they pull the boxes out, slap the shipping label on it and send it out. My label went on the wrong package. Curious to see what jlc’s fix is. Ive been in contact sent photos etc they haven’t told me the solution yet. We shall see.

That sucks. I do the cheap shipping and haven’t had that happen. I have had a few get confiscated though, lol

Yea hoping they just reship. Kind of sucks as these pedals were for “customers”, now i get to explain the issue to them.

 

[jessenator]

Yikes… that is not a fun situation. Might be delaying the next order until this irons out.
