⭐️ New office addition ⭐️ The #Prusa Mini+ 3D printer! As well as having a colour LCD screen that lets you preview your models before printing, it has all the same functions as our Original Prusa i3 MK3S printer. However, it differs slightly in its extrusion system 👇 Thread 🧵

We had a fantastic day at #LivMF22 showcasing @MadeInvaders. It’s always a privilege to be a part of this event, and it wouldn’t happen without the amazing volunteers that run @LpoolMakeFest every year 👏 We’ll be highlighting some of our favourite makers later in the week👀

One year ago today I shared a brainstorm of an idea, a slim board swap that could add serious smarts and sensors to a classic Casio wristwatch. TONIGHT, I'm thrilled to share that you can back Sensor Watch on @crowd_supply and get one of your own!! 🎉 crowdsupply.com/oddly-specif…

As a software developer, you may be called upon to perform some of these tasks in your career. How well a CS degree prepares you for these tasks (and whether it even should prepare you for these) is left as an exercise to the reader. 🧵 1/

In German they don't say "DIP switches", they say "mäuseklavier" ("mouse piano") and I think that's incredibly cute and should be immediately adopted everywhere.

Just blogged with some bonus content that had to be culled from one of my @HackSpaceMag articles on #lockpicking #locksport It's a section we couldn't fit in on re-pinning a simple tumbler lock. Excellent to expand one lock into multiple challenges! concretedog.blogspot.com/202…

Who do I know with experience of writing python libraries, specifically in terms of designing their exposed methods/classes etc. as well and pythonically as possible? Would love a 15 min chat to get pointers as worried I'm about to reinvent the wheel.
