Their build instructions state 242 for a single arm. Lots of contradicting information. Maybe they are betting on insane economies of scale… 🙄

Edit: Haha, I think I figured it out. USD 120 are the 3d print parts alone. That’s not a false promise at all!

The BOM for the components alone without the print is USD240. Why is the article talking about USD100?

Cut red and black at different positions to avoid them touching almost altogether. Makes it easier to work with the cable too.

Boy, I sure hope they didn’t forget to press the “remove discriminatory biases” button before putting this thing in production.

Good job

The second connector pin from the bottom is connected to what’s almost certainly a ground pour, and this is in line with the through hole labels together with your diagram. This is your black wire.

I would bet money on the rest of the labels (and your diagram) being correct too, so red wire goes to middle connector pin.

If you’re fairly certain that blue is in its correct location then we’re done: green goes to bottom pin. If you are not, we can take a closer look.

From the top down, that would be

Blue
X
Red
Black
Green

Freecad is well worth your time. Yes it is a bit unwieldy at first, but once it starts to click you can be fast. For me, the most time consuming aspect is usually wrapping my brain around what the model should look like. Achieving it is then either trivial or you quickly look it up if it isn’t. There are lots of good tutorials.

If you’re trying to design anything functional, you should really go with a parametric modeller.

I’m a big fan of Radiohole, especially their song Grape (“I’m a grape, I’m a raisin.”)

Not 100% clear what you want to achieve, but you probably want an alias.

Does this do/can it be used for keeping track of bicycle maintenance? Mostly which components are used (tires, brake pads,…) and when maintenance was done and so on?

Isn’t Svalboard the new(?) hottness in keyboard-land?

I never designed a speaker. I have been looking for designs a few weeks ago, and there’s too much stuff out there and too little to go on if it’s actually worth it/better than HiFi speakers I already have. Maybe some day, if I find a good bookshelf speaker project that seems achievable.

Awesome, thanks for the reply. I’ve been curious about printing speakers myself, but it seems like a daunting task.

Do tell about the speaker. Did you design it yourself? What does it sound like?

I think OSMC does this.

You can set up your project in a private repo and in your deploy action push it to the main branch of your public Pages repo. I agree it’s not a huge deal to show the source, but I prefer it like that.

name: Deploy Hugo site to Github Pages

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
    workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - name: Checkout repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Set up Hugo
        uses: peaceiris/actions-hugo@v3
        with:
          hugo-version: "0.119.0"
          extended: true

      - name: Build
        run: hugo --minify

      - name: Configure Git
        run: |
          git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
          git config --global user.name "Your Name"
      - name: Deploy to GitHub Pages
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.DEPLOY_TOKEN }}
        run: |
          cd public
          git init
          git remote add origin https://user/:${{ secrets.DEPLOY_TOKEN }}@github.com/USER/USER.github.io.git
          git checkout -b main
          git add .
          git commit -m "Deploy site"
          git push -f origin main

edit: Markdown is adding a / after “user” in above git remote command. Don’t know how to get rid of it.

Thanks, good read. Which dryer does everybody use?

My Nextcloud journey went from a Raspberry Pi 2B with a single USB HDD over a Pi 3B to a QNAP 2bay NAS on RAID 1 with a proper backup strategy including daily encrypted cloud backup. Having come to rely on the setup much more than when I was starting out playing with it years ago, I sleep much easier now. That said, I never lost any data, even on very questionable hardware without any redundancy whatsoever.

If you’re not very set on hosting at home, hosting a static Hugo page directly on Github Pages is incredibly convenient and easy (and free.) With the right Github Action, updating the site is as simple as pushing content to the main branch and it automatically deploys. And should Github ever give you a reason to do so, moving away is as simple as copying your static files to any other webhost and pointing your domain there instead.

Edit: It’s of course equally easy to deploy on your NAS - just a basic nginx serving the directory with your static site that Hugo generated.
