I got one of the HOTO electric screwdrivers - the chucky one. Boy did it same my hand some pain yesterday when dissassembling a machine. Might have to take a look at the precision one.

 

Been a while since I posted in here, so here's some things:

Some Displates:







That last one is a limited edition and will form the backdrop for Barad-dûr - when I eventually build it...

Also, a couple of Joytoys:





And this:

 

Best buy I ever did myself.

 

Tidy little mobile DAC…



Astell & Kern HC5 - had a little listen in-store, sounded good with the SE846, and handily fits with them in their case.

I have barely touched the Mojo is recent years because it’s never charged when I want it. This will probably drink battery at an alarming rate from my phone but I’ll figure that out if it comes to it.

 

Does look very dinky and neat.

It’s Astell & Kern, so it’s going to be priced well beyond anything I’d be willing to spend, but it does look easily portable and I’ve no doubt it’ll sound fantastic.

Edit: one quick internet search later, and… yep: more than any single set of headphones I own

 

Triumph rocket 3 r

 

I've always wanted a Triumph Rocket 3. Mind you, I need to do my theory test and get my licence first!

 

But that's only got a puny little 2.5L engine. Get Allen Millyard to build another Viper engined jobby for you.

 

Wouldn’t be able to afford the fuel ⛽️ on that!

 

fantastic ride, my regret is have taken it for a lengthy test ride knowing it was way outta my budget

 

Congrats, a GT version is on my shopping list for this year.

 

Join the club, , I've got a Himalayan parked up at work because I've still not done my theory test yet,

 

Very nice! I do intend to grab a GT seat for the pillion benefits + back rest at some point.

Yeah same, it’s what made me do my motorcycle licence but somewhere along the line in a BMW show room while browsing the cars, I made the mistake of walking into the motorcycle section upstairs, and spontaneously said to my partner at the time if any company is mad enough to insure someone that’s literally passed their big bike test a week ago on a s1000rr, I’m buying it… and GoSkippy came back with £300 a month 3 years later… I finally got the motorcycle I was always after.

Hopefully I'll actually be able to ride some distance on this without my back pain flaring up.

 

Mixed bag today:-

• Cheapo suction mount for my old dashcam, going to re-purpose it for the rear screen.
• 1250 x 400 silicone mat to go under my resin 3d printer & wash station.
• 2m of 24V 6500K COB LED strip to "enhance" my filament 3d printer

 

Bought me a Mini PC from Evil bay at a very respectable price . 7430u / 32GB ram / 512m.2 For £220

Sits nicely under the telly runs emulation beautifully .

 

Just ordered myself a new TV 65" TCL C7K I've been hoping my 10 year old 58" Panasonic would break for ages now but it's not looking like happening so I'll just have to accept the wrath of my Mrs when it arrives .

I would have liked to buy from Richer sounds for the warranty but they won't deliver to my area. Just hope it's as reliable as the Panasonic

If it give you hope they are making Sonys TVs so if Sony trust them I ld say they are good.

And when I worked at my old job they hardly showed up in for repairs despite being the 3rd selling brand we had. I will say your Panasonic will be better built but they where built like tanks 10 years ago .

 

Ordered Elegoo's latest & greatest printamabob (£659 "Super Early Bird" price + discount code)

 

Ian, how many printers do you own? We need to know because of reasons.
