Initial print done - Fits together beautifully. Needs a bit of touch-up, a brass thread, a switch and a spray paint.

A mod I've just finished to transform a Lightsaber into Kylo Ren's Lightsaber. Nor to do the final 3D print and assemble. More details to follow #maker

That’s a wrap for the Commodore 1541 floppy drive repair and referb. Recapped, lubed up, broken drive door fixed and general clean…. And it even works!!

The most frustrating and (now) useless key in history. It was useful decades ago, but no longer

On Linux, use this to disable it.

My newest Retro Computer for my collection. Needs repair, but I think that should not be too difficult

I bought new memory for my sons laptop… this must be the new transparent version …. Package does not look like it was opened, but someone evidently has some new memory!!!

Getting a bit of retro fun in today. Got my retro collection out of storage (too expensive now) and doing some sorting… ok playing. After a quick head clean, glad to say the disk drive works. #retro

They have kindly sent me two kits to cover BLE and Wi-Fi.
Thank you Nordic 😀😀

Ai (chatGPT) seems to be quite good at abstract requests when it comes to drawing, but accurate drawings seem to be an oddity. I gave it clear text, so why on earth did it mess up some of the wording.

First little design after moving from F360 to FreeCad. Got there in the end - Its a large jump and a lot more fiddly/unpolished than f360 , but as a free product its really good.
