Kina sound like they lost money tbh
Too lazy or didn't want to?
I know in the UK margins tend to be high on things like glasses and lenses but they lose money on even standard eye tests (it's worse if they pick something wrong and need to do further investigation)
I was thinking the same, I'd like more context though, if it's a quick throttle blip (or like if they're driving stick and need to reverse the car up a slope) could be understandable. If they're bouncing it off the rev limiter for a minute that's a different kettle of fish. Given the rest of the post I'm erring on the side of it being blown out of proportion.
Seems like a lifetime since he died, I hope his books are still popular in a hundred years. Gnu pterry.
Are the other half ascending?

This is a pet peeve of mine irl, people adding "ator" or "isation" or "ise" or similar to words to make new words we already have words for.
"We need to solutionise this problem"
No, fuck off, we already have the word "solve" we don't need a new word, it doesn't make you sound smarter, it makes you sound like a fucking moron who doesn't know the word solve.
Doesn't he go every day without shutting the fuck up?
Does anyone know the name for the sensation where you stretch and suddenly your innards feel all wrong, almost like being on the verge of a cramp but not and you suspect that if you don't return relatively quickly but gently to an unstretched position that something may go badly wrong inside?

First BMCU module done.
(feddit.uk)
First one done, everything seemed to work, assembly was relatively straightforward and the instructions were great.
Changes - buffer tubes were printed separately with variable layer height in Orca, I've read this helps feeding filament, settings:
Adaptive height 0.08, radius 4.
Triangle Lab kit only seems to come with long springs for the buffer tube, so you'll be building the long stroke version. I wasn't aware there were multiple versions so no loss. They are on the BoM though, so hopefully it saves someone else having to scour the instructions to see if the "missing springs" are needed.
I think I'll try printing the housings for the next one with support, some of the overhangs are a bit misshapen and had to be cleared out with a drill bit. This may still bite me further down the line when I need to fit the module to the base.
It seems like it shouldn't be too difficult to take apart if necessary.
I'd think about bending the solder tabs on the motors before soldering as well, it's a bit of a squeeze inside the housing and it's harder to bend them after.
Hopefully I'll get a second housing printed this week and at least another module assembled at the weekend.

BMCU kit has arrived!
(feddit.uk)
I've just taken a quick look, I've not checked off the BOM yet, but motors, boards, PTFE tube and a collection of parts have arrived. There's a bit of a description/warning sheet and a link to a Google drive with it too. Will check out some more over the next couple of days.

Merge/test/fix on a separate branch and then merge this into main when the freeze lifts?
