#DuckDuckFedi and #makers perhaps someone can help me out.

I like using parchment paper on the surface of my workbenches as it’s great for making quick notes/illustrations/tracing etc., and being parchment paper has the added benefit of mostly not letting glue stick to it.

But does anyone know where I can get rolls of parchment paper in Canada that’s 24 inches wide (like the big rolls of Kraft Paper) so I don’t have to use two 12 inches pieces on the workbench?

Specifically rolls not sheets

The top of a portable workbench which has two pieces of 12 inch wide parchment paper on top of it to cover the full 24 inch surface. 

There are sharpie marks on the parchment paper

Photograph of one wall of FabLab Copenhagen near the entrance. There is a large clock on the wall and the words (hashtag) FABLAB COPENHAGEN on the wall above the clock. Against the wall is a desk and chair as a soldering station. There is a desk lamp with a magnifying glass on the desk and an electric extension cord. There is a shelf above the desk on which there is a components cabinet, a measuring device, plants and various prototypes. A round vinyl sticker reading ELECTRONICS is on the wall above the shelf and another one reading TOOLS on a column next to the desk. To the left of the desk on the wall there are several reels of 3D printing filament hanging and there are other work tables and cabinets visible. FabLab Copenhagen, Visby, Denmark, 27 June 2018.

A blown fuse, a busted speaker, some mystery wires — and one fun repair!

@tdr112 brought a vintage CB radio setup back to life at Tog.

I'm still here

Yesterday at the #MaakFestival #Groningen we presented our school #WarhammerAlliance as a place to not only make #Wargaming stuff and play #TabletopGames, but also as a safe space to build social connections and skills, fight loneliness and declutter the mind.

Lots of good networking ops with colleagues from other #Education institutions, lovely chats and people coming to learn about #hobbytricks or just sit and chill out with us♥️

Piston timing comes from an slotted-opto sensor with a separate adjustable cam with speed regulation from the Microprocessor.

Calling all DIY makers: have an enclosure design that keeps sensors safe from rain, dust, or curious pets?

I bought some clear, UV-hardening nail polish on Aliexpress some time ago, and only started using it today. Already a big fan. It works great as strain relief on soldered connections and for waterproofing PCBs and parts. I'll have to see if it doesn't contain any chemicals that might cause issues with electronics, but at least it doesn't smell like it contains acetone.

Neste encontro iremos conectar e ativar devices na plataforma LoRaWan do LHC e devices no broken RabbitMQ.

Vamos iniciar com uma breve revisão sobre o Gateway LoRa do LHC que roda um OpenWRT customizado por membro do hackerspace, ligando na plataforma ChirpStack.

Agora o LHC tem a plataforma funcionando com ChirpStack e RabbitMQ para iniciar uma nova rodada de experimentos. Ativando novos sensores, criando novas conexões com dispositivos para novas experimentações. Oportunidade para aprender e participar do projeto aberto no Hackerspace.

Essa atividade não tem custo, basta registrar e colar no encontro.
Recomendamos trazer laptop e seus dispositivos para testar e implementar junto com os participantes.

Anybody know if there's a website that I could put in the P/N of a component and see the price at various suppliers? It's getting kinda old having to search on Digi-Key, Mouser, et al to find the cheapest price.

What can I use to fill the holes? Some of it is red, some is in the black parts. Initially I wasn't going to bother filling them, but I'm in the process of sanding it, and now I kinda want it to look perfect 😅

Just made a $100+ order to support that great institution, American Science and Surplus. They're going through some financial struggles, and It's been years since I last ordered., and I couldn't decide what I wanted, so I picked up a couple of their famous surprise boxes. Got the $75 fund-raiser box, and a $12.50 electromechanical box (shipping charges pushed it the rest of the way). Dunno what I'll get, but I predict there will be fun inside!

I will be going to London, UK and Paris, France from mid-to-end of August to speak at a conference and do some research for my PhD:

Does anyone have good suggestions for queer archives, design, or textile-related things to check out in and around those cities?

🤯 makers, beware:

"Machine that could CHANGE the Maker Community forever"

UV printer kickstarter - like an inkjet printer on steroids. And it builds up *dimensional* colour, too. Given what it can do, and how slick the app is, I was surprised at the price.
(Definitely gonna resist. But can you? 👹)

I love that he didn't just demo it, but tested materials and durability of the result.
