This is what #patching a #bug in #hardware looks like.

First attempt: I made things worse
Second attempt: it's as if I did nothing
Third attempt: fixed!

If you don't know how big a US dime is, the punchline here is that these wires are very small, tedious to work with and will probably come loose at the slightest provocation. #USBC

And a shout out to those who know exactly what happened here without any explanation required. I goofed. Next rev will be better. #OpenHardware #electronics #diy

I am happy to announce the release of a new #signet case (and more colors)! All the same hardware inside, it's just a new look.

There are a couple slight variations:
- snap together vs screw together, and
- I have one without a keyloop

What do you think? Prefer the cleaner look to the more functional option of having a keyloop? Want other colors? Let me know.

How many times have you gotten an update only to find out it causes as many problems as it solves?

Having a #stable codebase that isn't perpetually bolting on features is more #secure.

In the end, all the #3DPrinted cases came out acceptably well. It was fun to make these incredibly small tweaks all day yesterday to get the model and printer settings tuned up to be the best quality possible.

I've been playing around with a new case design and I ran into some #3DPrinting settings that had some counterintuitive results.

Higher quality (smaller layer height) produced worse results.

The top #Signet in each picture was the one with the highest quality settings, but the keyring is rougher, and the USB-A hole isn't tall enough. The exact same model turned out fine with the lowest quality settings. While the layers are visible on the unit at the bottom of the photo, they're nice & smooth.
