Meanwhile I have had a strange eBay result, I was looking to order a 15V battery for an analogue multimeter and I clicked on the BIN button for a battery from a seller called "jlsbatteries" based in Shropshire, and got this message on screen.Strange because I have never dealt with this seller before I can only assume that it must be one of these Chinese companies that uses a load of aliases in the UK to sell on eBay from UK warehouses and is most likely linked directly to that seller that I had the issue with over that ultrasonic cleaner and that they did not like having to pay for the return of their mis-sold item.On the other hand I ordered some 1% resistors from another seller called "msgraphics", yesterday and today the seller popped them personally through my front door with a nice note. Edit. I decided to see if my son could order the battery me, so I popped into his room, and he logged and tried to buy it and bingo, it's on its way to me. So question for you IT and coding freaks, would my son have a different IP address to me or are all computers etc, after the main router seen as one address?
Currently printing at 20% infill and 0.28 LH. It's like watching firehose laid down after printing Tiny Toothless. Still a 17 hour print. mnem

Still a 17 hour print. mnem Ehhh.... A mixed bag. I had misgivings when I previewed it in Cura; I could see I'd been a bit too aggressive with the the middle row of holes, and Cura exaggerated the gaps in the slicing process. But I REALLY wanted to get more of my favorite drivers in there, so I decided to see how it would work out. Overall it's quite serviceable; I did get the 8 jeweler's drivers and the 6 large ones I most needed in there. A couple of the holes drag a little when putting/pulling a driver, and the divider with the smallest cross-section snapped out first time I put a driver in. We'll see how well it continues to serve; I may have to revisit the design and shrink most of the holes in the center area so that all the other slots are properly supported.mnem

Currently powered up with a trace. We'll see how long it lasts.Watch me get this wrong......My money is on a dodgy solder joint.

What? Did you perhaps mean "sent to report to Cerebus for percussive re-education, or a 'light trim'"?

My father flew as a navigator in Mosquitos during the second world war, so I have a bit of a soft spot for them!But it's a real shame that not one in the UK is in flyable condition. The disadvantage of making it out of plywood. It rots. I believe there are one or two here flying and also in New Zealand.

I can however remember seeing one being displayed at Southend-on-Sea air show many years which was I think the last one in the RAF at the time.

Not 10 minutes after taking that pix it crapped out. No trace, no bean find. It went with a whimper. No noise, no smoke. Oh well. Now that you mention it... I should drop bean a ping. I miss my favorite ozzie reprobate... mnem *flump*I meant to say "bean find" and yes, I miss Bean too.
