Collection is back on display
I've been busting butt all day unpacking the collection from the studio into the new location. I've just about managed to empty all of the boxes and arrange things in a somewhat meaningful manner. Now I just need to pack everything at the house and bring it down and figure out where it is going to go.
Spin me right round
Alright, I've posted just about everywhere else so for my friends, family, fans, and followers here is a cool R5 update!
Initial testing 60w laser
It's not doing much but we were able to get the laser moving today. Ran some pulse tests with success as well. We still need to dial in some settings before we're fully functioning though.
Flexible TK Hand Plates in white & black
What do you builders think of this?
We're really excited they turned out so awesome. This set of white has some dye transfer because we poured them after a black pair. We've solved this problem by making a second mold. One will be dedicated to white and the other for casting black.
And now here's the part most are waiting on...when this video reaches 20 Likes then we will create a post open to preorders. We are going to accept 10 preorder spots at $20 a set, your choice of white or black. Initial payment will be do beforehand and shipping will be calculated once we are ready to ship. Once again though this post needs to reach 20 Likes and then a new post will be made for the preorders.
Thanks to everyone for the support and the encouragement.
Keep on building!
While the printers are busy on commissions and R5 I worked on the laser burner table.

R5 Dome off the printer and initial spin!!!
I couldn't resist! Sorry for the crappy video and the mess of the studio but I wanted to share the dome.
WHOC first time printing with TPU
Alright something new for WHOC. I've put it off for years but finally tackled printing with TPU or a flexible filament.
Well I've popped my Arduino cherry.
So here's something I think is kind of cool. One of a cosplayers biggest headaches is adding lighting and other electronics to a costume. I've seen people use cell phone battery backups. I really like the idea of that and wanted something similar but also the versatility of options. So I had a bunch of 18650 batteries and trays sitting here. Use them anytime I wire up a lightsaber. I then found a PCB board with USB hookups that upconvert the 3.7v to 5v output. This will allow me to power LEDs or small 5v blower fans. But the neat part is the battery will not need to be removable as the board has a charger port on it as well. I can mount the board almost anywhere I can plug a cell charger into and then wire the battery as far away as needed.
Well I think it is cool. Yay me.
