Is that Philips Hue LED lighting?

I’d agree the timer piece is “all over the place” at the moment, I hope AM 2.1 will have this fixed

You can go much lower than this if you want. Mine sits below a shelf with only 28cm clearance.
The clearance from top of the Robox to the underside of the shelf is just 4cm.

I can’t open the lid fully, but I don’t need it to. Upon lifting the door wedges itself nicely against the underside of the shelf (and stays there) but the reduced opening is…[Read more]

If you hadn’t though about this you need space behind too for the power cord - I reckon I have that down to a minimum too, the rear of mine being just 6.5cm from the back…[Read more]

build space is not sufficent for me to print a ‘holder’ or ‘rack’ for all the ‘stuff’ I have around my Robox

Quick follow up - finished the set of 12 a couple of weeks ago - due to the way I designed the set, it was trivial for me to bake the name of the public house in to the final punctuation stencil at 1/3 size.

and if you use this too, you can take any line drawing all the way to a 3D print

sorry couldn’t resist when I saw laser cutter heads have been mentioned

“I expect you to die!”

there was a special one off profile issued for this - I don’t know if it is still valid on the last rev of Automaker though

Like those - tried to build a GWR Freight Wagon when I first got my ROBOX but struggled really badly - I was modelling in OpenSCAD in 12 inch to the foot scale the scaling down to HO - I was losing detail all over the place, all got a bit hard 🙁

has been a big bugbear for me since day 1 - really hampers the community building nature of this forum for me…

Go Pros are great for timelapses and nightlapses - spiral star scapes are awesome if you get them right too
I’ve yet to use my 4 Silver on a sync’ed print yet but did do it last year on sync’ed

I use IPA spray and a soft cloth to wipe dry

I’d like to see a dark grey which sits between the current grey and black

I assume you have a 3D scanner

Actually using OpenSCAD I reckon I could produce an Eiffel Tower model quite easily - it’s only girders after all - and you only need to design 1/4 of the model and replicate it 3 more times turning by 90 degrees each time
