@lost_in_tech Probably is in O2 though, let's me honest. Anything to cut a corner or increase a price

[Polymate3D @Polymate3D]

@lost_in_tech @Poundland For me it was more just expecting things to be a pound, and then leaving when things were not a pound.

Imagine they made smaller stores. Called them pound town 😄

@lost_in_tech If I wanted the job, I'd make a update that resets all the default apps back to Windows ones, make old paid for software not being found in search, and break hardware.
Oh wait...

@repkord My little girl is 6 now and when making decisions we try to remember, We won't get another chance whilst she is this age.
So great advice!

@lost_in_tech Oxford street is now pedestrian only *cyclists flu by ignoring the signs*

[Polymate3D @Polymate3D]

@lost_in_tech Win win

@repkord @OSHBuilt Exactly my friend.
Don't take me as completely anti AI. I went to a conference for reef aquariums and aquaculture and there was a look at a company using AI to try and detect problems with corals before the human eye can notice, and suggestions on solutions

[Polymate3D @Polymate3D]

@repkord @OSHBuilt So to conclude, there are certainly positives, but there is equally negatives.
It reminds me of the 3D Printing community. 10+ years in and it's still mostly trinkets or repairs of things. Where are the products? Laptops. Fans. Pumps etc.
It could be great. It's mostly lazy

@repkord @OSHBuilt Gaming industry is a great example. PS5 and Switch 2 hacked. Mario Kart World running on PC.
Online game stores flooded with AI slop (not all is) so you can't find what's worth your time and money.
Sales of consoles and IPs goes down, so they just stop making new games

@GabFluffy Largest that I have never shown was 13cm or 132.6cm2.
In practice I have many over development of 10 years that are 28.3cm2 or 50.2cm2.
This is because I can 3D printed a suitable cabinet as well, and full range is viable

3D Printed

Speed Freaks (PS1) - Menu

No vase mode. No special slicer settings. 0.15mm and Arachne.

[Polymate3D @Polymate3D]

@GabFluffy You can see I literally just wound carelessly into a indent I have and it still fits okay on this design.

[Polymate3D @Polymate3D]

@GabFluffy Yes. Self wound. I have done designs with fill ratios of 60% but that tricky for most. This one is around 30%. See the image attached.
The magnetic gap is also very wide compared to normal at 3mm. Easier to make this way.

[Polymate3D @Polymate3D]

@GabFluffy This specific driver uses a small magnet and motor to keep cost down, and the compliance is deliberately not linear so if it is driven hard, it doesn't start slamming into the back of the motor.
This one also focuses on simple printing and assembly.

[Polymate3D @Polymate3D]

@GabFluffy This is a bit different to my HIFI based ones, as its aimed towards education and hobbyist builds.
Drivers like Symphony 7 LT, yes I have a start Mms, and the motor is designed/measured so I know what kind of BL output I will have available.
I use a Dayton WT3 analyser for this.

@lost_in_tech When he looks at us peasants all he seems is page file

[Polymate3D @Polymate3D]

Not glued.

Just proper engineering and iteration

@christitustech Rich person with control of his life and things around him, criticises why everyone wants control of there life and the things around them...
