Ooh, love a good gulf livery. Would be awesome to see them bring back a martini livery for a race next year if the merc engines nail the regs change again, and they get a season like 2014 when they ended up 3rd in the constructors

Your best hope for storage is it not getting much wetter, ziploc bags with silica are fine, a tub is easier to paw through and grab what you need quickly.

A drier will actually refresh a roll and get it printing close to new again. Look for excess stringing for the early signs, and the filament bubbling and/or popping as it comes out of the nozzle for extreme signs of wetness.

I’m in a fairly dry environment, I’ll happily leave a roll on the printer for a week without adverse effects. But always store an opened roll off the printer in the tub.

Store filament in a big plastic tub with a kg of colour change silica. But yes a filament dryer is a good investment too. Just a single roll one will do.

Yeah the 8266 is cheaper but very limited in ram and only does 2.4ghz WiFi

Pity I’m terrible at using it. I’m going to have to look up some tutorials. I ended up chomping off the pcb around the headers

It’s also nice to use up some of the older boards in my stash. Living in New Zealand I tend to keep a decent supply of parts as they are always time consuming to get. I’ve got a few too many 8266’s left still!

Yeah that was my original plan, I’ve got a handful of the tiny seed ones. But the Esphome easy setup for the Bluetooth repeater doesn’t support the c3 or anything newer. https://esphome.io/projects/ turns out the length of the esp32 I had matches perfectly the length of the wemo board I ripped out too, so fitted just fine.

What should we call our service so people are clear it’s free of American influence… Hmmm ‘America On Line’

Hooooooly. I saw the onboard, Lawson had to change down and open the steering to avoid them. He then came on the radio later in the lap realising he could have killed them

When a daddy senior dev op and a mummy senior dev op love each other very much…

But it’s the opposite in NZ and Aus, we pay more when converted back to USD while the spending power is much less.

I have so many of the AthomTech ones. Cheap, small, come with Esphome or tasmoda pre installed, power monitoring, relay or non relay versions, and no failure so far.

Get any RTSP camera, install Frigate and give it a lowish end graphics card or a Google Coral USB tpu for processing.

Bingo, totally local object detection without subscriptions.

Some dulling spray will give you decent enough coverage for a laser scanner to pick up the shape. Helmets tend to have large featureless areas that make optical based scanners struggle and photogrammetry not feasible. A good engineering level scanner will be just fine.

They are trying to bring Thorn back for some reason https://youtu.be/wJxKyh9e5_A

Proving you are ultra mega hyper straight, is a pretty big indicator you’re quite gay.

I love it “oh I’m sorry you didn’t get picked, was it because you were thinking about what the gays really do in the bedroom?”
