I like knitting, math, and uplifting the proletariat.

  • I have no idea how practical it is, but I've definitely been all-in ever since !shavian@lemmy.world popped up a week ago or so lol. It's just really pretty looking and fun

  • It'd be spelled 𐑮𐑪𐑯𐑛𐑱𐑝𐑵 in Shavian script English, is that better?

  • Exactly lol

  • Oof, that went from exciting to ominous so fast

  • Godammit 😂

  • Our makerspace shreds it all (by type of course) into flakes, but doesn't have a use for those yet unfortunately... The handful of companies recycling it are too far away. However, at some point we want to pick up an injection molding machine for it, when we have the funds.

    That is, except for the PHA (Polyhydroxyalkanoates), I just take that home and compost it.

  • Update: Ordered/printed all the parts to make this conversion! I appreciate everybody's comments and suggestions on how to move away from TAP/towards eddy in a more economical fashion though. Ultimately you all will probably end up being right and we will regret it, but I think it's worth a shot at least. I'll let you know how it goes!

  • Ok now I've sunk an hour or so into learning about it, and I'm just about sold on trying it out lol

  • !shavian@lemmy.world

    Whoa that's a neat idea! I assume if it ever caught on, English would eventually drift away from this being phonetic over like a hundred years or whatever, right? But if English were at all reasonable we could also just occasionally hold conferences to update it too

  • That CNC option is looking very appealing. Particularly considering that the TAP carriage isn't all that different from the stock SB one and I hate it lol

  • Oh geez! That's definitely ominous... I woulda opted for the Beacon in the first place, but AFAIK it doesn't do CANbus, right? When did you get your carto? Really hope they ironed out the problems since then!

  • That would definitely be less work and money, true... Just reprint the normal StealthBurner carriage I guess? Does that have a mount for eddy probes?

  • Omg you're right!! I didn't think about that at all... It'd be difficult but certainly doable.

    You could reverse it so the socket is on the screw instead, but then it might be slightly more obvious that it is a screw. Also nobody makes those, to my knowledge.

  • Well I'm definitely sold, that sounds awesome!

  • Right?! And yet AFAIK there is exactly one (now defunct) company who ever used them. I guess it's time to be the change we want to see in the world 😈

  • No mention of Oval drive? As much as I normally hate security fasteners, I love those for being hilarious. At first glance it appears roughly circular, you'd be like "well this is a nail, or a rivet or something". But no, actually you can unscrew it!

  • I'm naively assuming that the most relevant features are surface area, corner angle, and taper, is that right? And what I want in a drive is obviously that it won't strip, but also that it won't cam out/slip. Supposedly camming out is a "feature" to prevent something or other, but I exclusively use hand tools so it's mostly just an annoyance really. What I don't know is, how do those 3 features affect strippage and slippage? What makes Robertson better at that?

    Same resulting structure, totally different techniques?
