Now for the black LED acrylic front diffuser, with engraved Voronoi lines.

Yes, I think this should do very nicely indeed.

Fibonacci182 Cards are now available! In the first pattern (Attractor) long-touches on the pads change the center of gravity orbited by the two boids. A double-tap of the touch pads changes to the next pattern. Running #FastLED on the onboard @adafruit.com QT Py SAMD21.

Check out the GitHub star history for the FEX project. That spike is when Valve announced the Steam Frame, which uses FEX to run x86 games on the ARM64 hardware. 😲

I'm selling my Flux Beamo 30W CO2 laser cutter, rotary, autofocus, diode laser addons, 4" fan & ducts. Asking $1,400, local (Kansas City) pickup. Used but good condition. Paid $2,800 new. I've bought a larger one. I'd love to keep it, but don't have room.

I very nearly forgot to record this part for posterity!

Backup arrived, giant new laser is all set up. It just *barely* fits on the table.

The delivery driver got the giant laser cutter box into the garage with a palette jack. I managed to get it from the garage to the base of the first of two half flights of stairs with a small dolly, but no further. Will wait for backup. 😅

Laser delivery was super fast! 😁

Actual label on my laser cutter. 😅
Thankfully it's really quick and easy to do on the Beamo.

FLUX laser cutters are on sale 50% off (US only?) with free rotary add-ons and free shipping!
I'm taking the opportunity to upgrade from my tiny 30W Beamo (which has been great) to a much larger 60W Hexa. The Beamo would just about fit inside the work area of the Hexa.

In response to multiple requests, I've listed this HDD clock for sale: www.ebay.com/itm/33627763...
Proceeds will be used towards the purchase of a large new 60W laser cutter to expand my creative possibilities. 😁

This was such a neat set to assemble: the moving power switch, rotating volume and contrast dials, tactile D pad and buttons, removable cartridges and swappable lenticular screens.

There's nothing quite like coffee, cartoons, and LEGO on a Saturday morning. 😁

More HDD clock animations.

This HDD clock I found while cleaning out my office today goes so hard. I think I got it via a crowdfunding campaign, but now this Instructables article is all I can find: www.instructables.com/Recycled-Har...

It's alive, it's trapped inside, and it likes music.

Roast my bodge process, feedback welcome.
This is 8x speed w all pauses removed. Pardon my shaky hands & bench. That's a 2mm LED. I'm using a single strand from 24AWG stranded wire, my finest tip knife to remove silk & solder mask, IPA to clean, my finest soldering tip, & conformal coating to seal.

Finished the laser cut acrylic diffuser and XY map for Fibonacci Infinity Tile 0. Here it's being driven by a #Pixelblaze by @wizard, running the Honeycomb pattern.
Waiting on translucent acrylic hardware, should get rid of the black dots.
