there's a *conspicuous* amount of hype going around about the Makera Carvera Air in the last week - which sure: they've launched a new marketing campaign... However, three things stand out:

Andor-style lantern - with my own twist, converted from a thing I found on Amazon (still needs a weathering pass, but I'm waiting on Decals first). Link to 3d printed files are in the next comment.

Just once, I'd love to see the entire 40k fandom have a normal one for a day...

Tonight I started making a modification to Chris Borge's ball vise. Before, I had M8 threads in the little platforms next to the feet, but I found that with my gooseneck accessories that had power cords (lights, fans, etc), the cords would get all twisty and swapping them out ended up being a pain.

made some new bases for the helping hands so they fit into the fixture plate. I think the knurling is sorely missed, though.

I made some 3d-printable Toolmaker & Parallel Clamps. Toys for real machinists, sure, but I've already gotten great mileage out of them when doing small glue-ups of laser cuts. www.printables.com/model/127509... #3dprinting #making #crafting #toolmaking

as much as I love the popover API and anchor positioning - there's one major use-case that I can't figure out how to do elegantly: Right-click Context Menus.

for as much crap as everyone gives Electron, I love that in 3 minutes I've got the beginnings of an application running, even if its just a splash page for now. (cc: @norsehound.bsky.social )
