Continuous rotation servo + a 608 size bearing and TPU wheels + PTFE tubing + fewer 3D printed parts than you'd think + actually securing this contraption to my soldering station = a computer-controlled power feed for solder wire, for those long electronics assembly sessions.
Even before starting on the second part (the actual pen with buttons you hold at the other end of the tube) this is a serious project milestone and I'm very happy with it. #maker #3DPrinting #SolderingStation
I got so excited about a device I am building that I started designing the enclosure before I even wired up the circuit to see if it's something I want to use.
To be fair this is my enclosure library so 90% of the work is already done and it's just making a few adjustments.
I guess I figure I'll build the device and then test it... if I don't like it or use it I'll find some else it can do. (Or see if others want one.)

Last year, the venerable Arduino - one of the OG Open Source maker companies of the past 20 years - was acquired by Qualcomm, and we were pretty uncertain what to expect. There’s certainly been a lot of discussion about the drawbacks, and changes to the terms and conditions and such. Nevertheless, we were intrigued by the Arduino UNO Q board(s) that were announced at the same time - the classic Arduino UNO board form factor, with microcontroller, but paired up with a Qualcomm processor capable of running full Debian Linux.
