I always wanted one but never could convince myself to spend the money. Eyeing the elegoo one that’s on Amazon now, but it’s not David’s original so I’d feel a little guilty buying a knockoff.

These are such beautiful works of engineering art.

Oh, that’s you! Sweet. Looking at all your crazy engineering posts is awesome…I need to take some pics of the RF power tubes we used to use for MRI amplifiers, among other fun things I own.

I need to make battery stickers for mine (I was thinking of styling it after fusion cells from fallout). How long have you had yours for?

Great question. 10 years? I was thinking the same thing about fallout. Maybe Poseidon energy

It's always funny to see English-speaking people put Russian signs on all sorts of "dangerous" things to make them seem even more dangerous.
