I'm really digging my UP! Mini, prints are a great quality (down to .20mm) - only thing that might put you off is its a very 'closed' system-in-a-box, even down to the controlling sowtware, not 'hacker friendly' at all as far as I can see.

It looked absolutely rock solid, it's just that my time still isn't quite valuable enough to make it worth the cost of going ready-made.

we had an american in the space talking about the Kossels his space had been building back home (Seattle, maybe? they have a bunch there) and maaan I'm liking the look of these delta designs a whole lot, that build volume is insane

e: shiiit those detail prints. drat. can everyone else testing their 3d printers stop printing godddamn yodas for five seconds and look at those.

Build volume, is it?

but yeah thanks man

that schematic is pin-accurate for a 74HC595, so if you just put the chips in and wire it up like shown it'll work.

well there's obviously MOSIS which is like 40k? per wafer? or something in that ballpark?

then there's some german fab house that we quoted some multi-wafer runs from with confusingly low 5-digit numbers

well yeah basically. a surprising number of people still think custom ASICs are like 250k+ when you can get a whole bunch for low 5-digits or very small runs for 4-digits, maybe even 3 if you're okay with crap processes and have loads of time to spare (but probably still 4)

rot in hell, wonderbread.
suppose i wanted a single custom chip one time. we're talking just a couple grand maybe?

is that price following a moore's law pattern? will i soon be able to print out a custom chip for pocket dollars?

that's the tiny breadboard . i ground off some but it's not plated and zero success soldering. i would be content with some form of glue or something that conducted to connect to it and connect across them all too. i'm not against squishing alu foil in there tbh but i know that's terrible

i am trying to make an working board thing to make it easy to make up arduino projects. i have bolted the arduino uno to the board and those little breadboards are going to each be a source of power (12v, 5v etc)

its just a way of giving me breadboard access to power easily. it might be moronic but this board is my project. when its finished or nearing it ill show u guys so u can get an idea of what i am trying to achieve.


mainly its becvause the usb cable to the arduino was so big and heavy i found it moved the board if i moved the laptop for example coz everything was just sitting on the table. i have gotten a wooden cutting board and am using that and evertything gets bolted/fixed to it and nothing will move :)

Sagebrush

uh, breadboards have two rails down each side specifically for this purpose, you know? can't you just plug the power from the arduino 5V and GND pins into the breadboard side rails and call it a day?

if you really need to get power to the little breadboard blocks, just buy some headers



and solder to those and stick it in the board and accept that you'll lose one row. you would still have, like, 20 holes left, that's plenty for any reasonable project

well i don't want to draw current that i don't need to from the arduino and my small beard board doesn't have rails

your idea is sensible i'm sure but i'm trying to be *unique* here and i have an idea in my head and i need to complete it i think

Sagebrush
Feb 26, 2012

what's the power supply that you're going to be tying into the arduino?

and regardless, it's a much better idea to like put some female banana jacks on the top of the thing you're building this on, hook those up to the 5v or whatever, then get a banana plug and solder it to the 5x male headers and use that "patch cord" when you need power to your mini breadboards. if it's a prototyping system it should be as modular as you can make it

a pc power supply


and those beard boards wouldn't be directly
connected, i have this 5 point plug that the power supply plugs into the board with


i might have to go with your suggestion anyway simply to make it work

this is kind of the idea. that power supply has a plug which will plug onto the board giving 12v,5v,3.3v,ground and the power-supply-on lead too (so i can switch the power supply on via the board, i will install a switch) and then ideally those little coloured bread boards will have respective voltages going to them, from the back. i intend to groove out the back of the board so a lot of this wiring and etc is under the board. that way, if i want 5v, i just use a patch cable from the 5v bread board to where i need it. same with other voltages.
