The previous battery pack had some limitations that made it unsuitable for powering the DIY Mini-ITX laptop. Will the new battery pack (a Zendure SuperTank Pro) pass the test? Watch the video to find out...
Click the following link for a summary:

NOTE: Zendure is rather US-centric, and doesn't ship everywhere. If they don't ship to your country, then use a service like MyUS to forward it to you. They provide you with a US (and UK) address, which you can use when shopping on websites. Sign up via the following link:

3D PR
3d-printing-strong-bed-adhesion-and-easy
Two challenges with FDM 3D Printers are:
1. Getting the object to stick to the build plate during printing; failure can result in warping or even complete print failure
2. Removing the object once it's finished
I read all sorts of differing advice on the internet. After some experimentation, I found that it's actually easier than a lot of the advise I was reading (at least for PLA and PET plastics).
In brief:
1. Raise the build plate temperature. About 10⁰C (18⁰F) above recommended values worked for me, although larger parts needed a brim (a thin outline drawn around the bottom). Here are my settings (in Simplify 3D):
- 1st layer height 90% (squishes down the first layer to make it stick)
- Build plate temperature: 70⁰C (158⁰F) for PLA & 80⁰C (176⁰F) for PET
2. Simply wait for the build plate to cool down to below about 30⁰C (86⁰F), and the part easily comes off the build plate (assuming there' a place you can grab hold of it securely)
NOTE: You'll have to experiment with your printer, because different printers have different characteristics and calibrations (e.g., the temperature sensors may not be calibrated properly). Also, I've only tested this with PLA & PET. It might not work with other plastic types.

WANT
want-to-be-more-productive-work-fewer
We all want to work more productively, and have more time left over for family, hobbies, & relaxation. Well, one of the easiest ways for software developers (and others) to achieve that is to simply limit how many hours you work.
Hans illustrates this point with an incident that happened last week (from when the video was recorded).

NOVAB
novabridge-warp3d-backward-compatibility
This talk was originally presented (virtually) at AmiWest on 16 October 2021.
I'm pleased to be able to "let the cat out of the bag" about NovaBridge. It's something I've been working on for a while to solve an annoying problem: backward compatibility for old Warp3D software on the Amiga.

DIY M
diy-mini-itx-laptop-first-inner-case
Stumbled on this video or got a link from a friend? Sign up here to keep track of the project: https://keasigmadelta.com/diy-laptop/
Summary:
- The 3D printer has given plenty of trouble
- WARNING: Inductive sensors used to measure the print bed height are temperature sensitive. Calibrate at the wrong temperature and the measurement will be off, which may push the print head into the bed
- Have made a 3D print of the internal case. However, I accidentally set the slicer software to print support structures in a strong hexagonal cross-hatched manner, which is strong and can't be removed. So, I showed the internal layout via the 3D modeller instead
- The printed case gives you an idea of the size
- Internally, the case will have two fans sucking air over the UPS and then across everything else
- The hard drive will be mounted above the graphics card so that it's easy to remove, and it also gives more space for graphics cards with thick coolers
- The PCIe mounting bracket was the hardest thing to get right, but I have a design that squeezes it in securely
- Up next: create a model of the keyboard, design the LCD panel mount and, finally, the outer case
NOTE: The internal case will be made of aluminium. 3D printing is for prototyping (having something you can see and hold)
