No have actually been trying to get the time, that’s next on my list for sure. Would like to do one as a parametric file for fusion where you can change your cone diameter and it automatically adjusts the standoff.

The circuit schematic can and was still designed in eagle, but basically all of the functionality of Eagle is being slowly migrated to Fusion and prior useful features are being eliminated from Eagle. I used to design the circuit schematic in eagle, then when it came time to “switch to board layout” there was a button “pull from fusion” where…Read more

yes they did. good catch. Used the 555 timer to add a 47 second delay. This was to drive the point home about never approaching someone wearing a device even if the 2 legged threat has been eliminated.

Thanks. It\’s a template I saved before fusion/eagle changed. Now it\’s a hassle I have to learn how to do the circuit board design in fusion, instead of just doing it in Eagle and then pressing \”push to Fusion\” button.

Pretty crude oil well perforator adapter I made in fusion. There are a ton of useful applications for these and being able to cap in directly with a pinch of deta sheet in-between makes the setup more efficient, and easier to deploy. Will be making some slight changes to the design file; but for now it’s much better than what we were using…Read more

Hot-End fan is constantly running when unit is powered, not sure if that’s normal? Still working on leveling, no prints yet. Had to track down a solder gun to get the nuts into the hot end cooling shroud, really put me behind the 8 ball.

Also worth noting, the nuts Im using are 5.5mm diameter
the openings on the enclosure are 5.0-5.1mm measured with digital calipers. Tried that around the center and was impossible. The openings arent big enough. Tried that around the base and part of the enclosure snapped off. It will be good because its the base but cant risk it anywhere else.…Read more

Got the circuit for the LDR/pressure plate soldered up and just wanted to point something out to save others some time. If you look at my photo vs the black board layout, you’ll see that the board traces in the .btm file were different than the provided black PNG board layout.
