@ToddsNerdCave @PeacefulOutcome I wasn't aware of the 5v tolerance on it, I might have to revisit some of my projects too.

[Greg from Laser Bear Industries @collingall]

We try to keep things as low as possible, using ePost Global for consolidated shipping has the shipping side as low as possible usually about $6-$10 cheaper than USPS, we also collect VAT and remit through IOSS allowing us to pass packages through customs Duty free saving customers on Duty fees, but the EU decided that was a problem and added this new Duty that isn't avoided with IOSS.
I also added a country specific pricing that shows VAT included pricing if you drop down the currency tab at the top of the site.
The EU seems to be targeting Chinese imports specifically with these new Duty fees, but all small business outside of the EU will be caught in the crossfire.

I want to give EU based customers a heads up, starting July 1st 2026 the EU is implementing a €3 per HSCODE import duty. We currently ship all packages DDP so we will have to include this fee into our orders beginning July 1st. This fee is based on the HSCODE not line items, so the fees may stack depending on the number of categories items land in. They will also have an additional €2 per HSCODE fee that is expected later in the year. The fee only applies to orders under €150.
My Shopify store does not have a simple way to charge that fee so I will be looking into options on how to handle this.

@ToddsNerdCave @PeacefulOutcome the RP2354 has 2mb of flash on chip so if your project doesn't need more than that you can save the price of flash on each board at the least.

[Greg from Laser Bear Industries @collingall]

@ToddsNerdCave @PeacefulOutcome Was going to suggest moving the a RP2354A and loose the flash and do a smaller crystal. but that only saves you on width not length lol

Shout out to @collingall for the 3d print slot master. Shout to @merlin_shaw for all his work. Still trying to the usb c nes power module. Anyone know where to get one that would be great.

@collingall Thanks laser bear! Love it

@TheSocialGamer The opening is larger than the grip so it would be no harsher than setting it on a table or other surface. PLA is harder than ABS, but not significantly so plastic on plastic wear would be really difficult and take some effort.

@NanadaMaroon With how easy it is to remove and replace it doesn't seem necessary. I think a better addition would be rubber feet to keep it from sliding.

[Greg from Laser Bear Industries @collingall]

@m1ghtyboy Not really, it's fairly strong but any tilt off axis and it just fully lets go.

[Greg from Laser Bear Industries @collingall]

@mashi_81 Most likely unfortunately.

[Greg from Laser Bear Industries @collingall]

@AlexiaA_84 I was thinking something like this would make the most sense and probably wouldn't need the mount changed to fit like a 180 adapter would.

[Greg from Laser Bear Industries @collingall]

@King_INF3RN0 If you tilt it forward slightly the magnet releases and you can pick it straight up, I didn't see a need for extra weight.

[Greg from Laser Bear Industries @collingall]

@liskesh Hopefully they support an internal connection, then you can plug the puck into a simple USB charger rather than tie up a USB port on the system.

[Greg from Laser Bear Industries @collingall]

@bcomnes I have 5-6 oranges on hand I will see if any look close, I unfortunately don't have one to compare to though

[Greg from Laser Bear Industries @collingall]

@bcomnes Yes, just published a store page https://t.co/tda6fMoXae

[Greg from Laser Bear Industries @collingall]

@bcomnes don't have any that go back but I am going to order one like this to try

[Greg from Laser Bear Industries @collingall]

I honestly didn't need them, tilting the controller forward releases it, using about 25% infill made it more than heavy enough to keep it in place when you move it around. I will probably make a version for the printables page that has a slot in the bottom for cheap wheel weights.
