scanlime050 – Perler Bead Shaker
https://invidious.privacyredirect.com/watch?v=qf8IeLmUDn8
Briefly looking back at an old project where I tried to push the capabilities of the first 3D printer I had, the Makerbot Thing-o-Matic designed in late 2010. This project from 2011 was intended to be a full printer or sort and place machine for fusible “Perler” style plastic art beads. I got as far as designing a vibrating funnel, hopper, and part of a color sorting mechanism.
The old Perler Bead Robot project is still on Thingiverse.
And perhaps more useful is the library for making 2D springs in the same style.

Taking RetroEmulation to the next level with RockPro64 and Roshambo
Retro Emulation is all the rage these days. What’s old is now new again. Game Emulation has been around for awhile, but the recent resurgance into making mini consoles spearheaded by the release of the NES Classic has opened up new possibilities for making our own NES or SNES classic’s.
GreatFET One Has Arrived
It’s happenning! We started shipping GreatFET One to resellers last week, which means that very soon (probably even today) it will be available for you to order online from your favorite reseller of Great Scott Gadgets products. Hint: if your shop of choice doesn’t carry it yet, let them know you’re interested!
It was January of 2016 when Mike Ossmann gave his firetalk at Shmoocon titled GreatFET: A Preview, in which he explained how he bought the GoodFET project from Travis Goodspeed in a Las Vegas bar for $5. That was the beginning of the project that came to be known...

Стоит ли закупать компоненты в Китае? Большая статья.
Всех приветствую!
Думаю каждый из нас когда-то был очарован перспективами сотрудничества с китайской нацией.
Помните времена до 2014-го года, когда ещё мало кто слышал про AliExpress, но где можно было купить вещи в 5, или даже 10 раз дешевле чем у нас в магазине? Прямо какое-то волшебство. :)
Такое время было, и потихоньку прошло, но как я заметил – у людей в 2019-м совершенно не изменилось мнение относительно Китая – они до сих пор считают что там можно купить дешевле, что им скорее всего приедут оригинальные компоненты, и что им вернут деньги в случае если что-то не так. Более того – некоторые даже...
