Wouldn't the input impedance be annoyingly variable?

I really don't understand the appeal of this sort of machine. I have a pretty big (300x300x300mm) and very fast printer, and large prints are still annoyingly slow and expensive. I can't ever imagine FDM printing (especially with

I do this too, but split between 5 weeks in the summer for PNW alpine climbing and 5 weeks in the winter for desert stuff in the SW, plus normal vacation for long weekend climbing trips and the obligatory holidays. If I had children, taking

Yeah, some degree of isolation is probably a good idea. The issue wouldn't be an accident due to plugging into an output, but issues with bad grounding or a short to mains. It's unlikely, as it would be a failure condition for the

No, a linear voltage regulator is well understood as something with a transistor pass element in linear mode and a (probably dumb) control loop. Definitely not a switcher or module, could be an LDO.

Just to piggyback off this, one should be very careful combining techniques with PCA. One error I see a lot in biostatistics is people running statistical significance testing to select variables before running PCA. It's a super cool e

Wax is a very good material for modifying/smoothing prints pre-casting, and doesn't mess with the casting process. UV-cure resin is also a good choice, as you can set it fully, sand it down, and apply a gel-coat for a shiny finish
52.
by msds 7y ago
Yes, your surface finish is limited by your print quality - but smoothing surfaces post-print goes a long way. "a lot more difficult" doesn't mean impossible at all, but you will have to remove more material to flatten the su

3K in the RF world is cheap... I've watched as more than that in chips fried with a bad reflow profile, and that was with some very very cost-efficent people.

If you're lucky enough to have a supernova, it's also probably a good idea to be very very patient while you wait for the various radioisotopes to calm down before you use your nice shiny new REEs.
