Alte Diskette neu gebaut: YouTuber rekonstruiert Kult-Speichermedium aus dem Nichts
Disketten sind längst aus unserem Alltag verschwunden. Doch ein YouTuber hat mit modernen Werkzeugen eine funktionsfähige Floppy Disk von Grund auf selbst gebaut.

Finally done with Part 2, the last and definitive part, of my Let's make a Fairphone case - mini series.

It was a fun and rewarding project and I managed to collaborate with not one but two other people, which is always fun.

As always only FOSS software was used duing the making of this video and project.

After tightening the spindle, moving it down a bit and trying to reduce cantilever by gripping the spindle as close to the tool as possible, this is a second pass with otherwise same parameters. This could all be considered rough pass, since I'm not doing any finish passes yet. Thanks @Stilling for the advice.

Here's my SeinSmart Genmitsu 4030 ProxerXL in its new robot box. I've tried to tighten up the spindle and tool a bit for another pass.

I plan to buy longer hex wrenches tomorrow to get more leverage.

This is working on 3/8 in / ~9.5 mm thick 6061 aluminum at 100 mm / minute with a 3.175 mm flat tool at 0.5 mm depth per pass with a custom gcode generator.

Time is rare when you're figuring out how to #CNC the best way, replacing #ip drivers and proprietary software controller with #FreeSoftware like #grbl + #arduino, while finding best #CAD & #CAM alternatives to commercial #fusion365 and #vcarve tools in #extensions for @inkscape like #gcodetools, #addons for @Blender like #fabexCNC and last but not least the universal gcode sender #UGS as perfect post-processor for a free workflow.

That assembled like a clockwork makes a lot of noise, dust, and work, but beautiful sculptures. What would you cut out of wood first?

Hello people! I've been on the Fediverse for couple of years now, so here's my re-#introduction

I'm Ari, better known by my tag APZ and this is my #pinball repair, #arcade and #retrogaming account. I mostly post about playing and repairing pinball machines, but I also work on #retrocomputing with all the classics.

An IT guy by day, I moonlight as a pinball arcade owner here in #finland with my partner @quester. This is purely a hobby of mine, I do this to keep my sanity and to keep pinball alive for the next generations of players. At the moment I own a bit over 30 pinball machines from 70s to 2020s.

A lot of what I do involves #electronics, #CAD for now obsolete parts and #3dprinting and tabletop #cnc to recreate them.

I love to #travel, usually to meet like-minded arcade collectors. I have a strong preference to #repair stuff instead of throwing it away. I'm a #linux user since mid-90s, having been part of #foss movement most of my life. I also edit arcade related videos.

​It is done. I finished making the CNC machine. It draws circuits on a copper plate, just how i wanted. It is rare for me to finish a project. I'm so incredibly happy about it :blob_melt_sob_love:
The machine is still in kind of a rough shape. I will make proper power circuit and maybe a bluetooth for serial. Other then that, it is ready to be used :bowsette_blonde:

Okay I'm so incredibly excited to show this :bowsette_redhead_angry: The CNC machine is almost ready and here is a short video of the z axis at work, together with a 3d printed pen holding contraption (courtesy of my friend who kindly printed it for me 🥰)
I can't believe it works. Now all that remains is the software part 👀

If you, like me, are trying to use a #Gorton family single-stroke typeface with a #Glowforge laser cutter (or a #CNC machine or a #Cricut or whatever), and you'd like an easy way to do type layout while keeping everything in the single-stroke vector space, it turns out there is a solution for that (!!): https://msurguy.github.io/cnc-text-tool/

If all of the above is gibberish but you're curious, basically, here's the thing:

- most vector drawing tools (I use #AffinityDesigner) will happily open & use TrueType or OpenType fonts, but their model of a "font" is typically "a closed outline stroke with a fill"
- things like laser cutters and CNC machines love paths/strokes, but they don't grok "fill" (or, in the case of modern laser cutters, they do, but it's finicky and you have to do a lot of trial-and-error tweaking to get the stroke & the fill working together so that the type renders like you want it to)
- there are quite a few sources for single-path SVGs of classic engraving fonts (including Fedi's favorite, #Gorton) but if you want to actually lay out words instead of single characters . . . lotta manual work
- the web application I linked above solves **this specific problem** by letting you do text layout, and then it outputs a single SVG that you can import into your CNC software or into your vector drawing software for integration into your designs

In any case, the ferrite bead is sufficiently good at warding off harmful energies that the #cnc USB communication is now stable over days. (Also sent a support (literally) mail to the manufacturer.)
