Come with us to Uruguay #HSC #SmokeTest #Uruguay
Tonight I'm doing a literal #SmokeTest on my new #LaserCutter enclosure that I've been building over the last couple of weeks. It uses a cooker hood extractor fan instead of the piddly little bathroom extractor I had before, and the results are pretty impressive. Even on the minimum setting it seems to cope with birch ply smoke admirably. This is all in aid of the expansion kit I recently got for the laser cutter, which will increase it from 400x400mm to about 930x930mm, which obviously wouldn't have fitted in the original enclosure - or on the bench for that matter. I've tried to use as much recycled and upcycled materials as possible, but I did buy new 5mm ply for the hood, some wood for the frame, and a sheet of flooring chip board, and double sided tape and draught excluder tape. The rest was made from the old bench, an old pallet (most of the hood frame), a reclaimed aluminium shop sign for the bed, and materials I already had on hand.

Dismal Manor 1545R #TongueOutTuesday
Cleaning happened! Dismal Wizard cleaned and restacked the lounge audio rack. Lots of #DustBunnies sucked up. Good converter Gumby streamer has gone missing. Got to sort that. Browser interface has gone missing and he’s also missing in #roon.

Sangean tuner and TV are working. Haven’t tried video disk player. Recabled it as a SPDIF input and moved the turntable to slot 4. It still needs a #SmokeTest. So far magic smoke remains inside.
