Google blue styrofoam. Unlikely to find it in a DIY store, as it doesn’t get used for insulation like in the US. We tend to use the yellow polyurethane...

Not got that leveller, but the only time I've witnessed servo tremor with a pitch controller was on a unit that had insufficient damping on the output,...

That's true, but a machine capable of rendering something to within around 0.3% displays greater than non-existing accuracy. Even the most expensive machines...

Nice work. Just for your own reference, pretty much all servos these days use microcontrollers inside, whereas years ago they used analogue chips. So...

This is a good 18650 cell, High C rating with decent capacity. I can't recommend a good US supplier, but I'm sure they're out there- https://eu.nkon....

0.6mm out on a 199mm print. Not how I'd describe non-existent accuracy. If I was hand working, or even machining out a pattern i'd be more than happy...

A lot of these cheap 18650 cells have inflated specs. Most good quality cells of this size tend to offer capacities of around 3-3.5Ahr. If they do genuinely...

'the dimensional accuracy is non-existing'

That's surprising, how far out are we talking about here? Tinkered a bit with an FDM unit, and...

I wonder how cheap those DLP based printers will get? Some can be had for under £200 now, although the resin is pricey. They do render superb...

Should have yourself a skipjack beater on the fun quotient.

HP system is faster and higher resolution, and AFAIK the binding agent they use is exclusive. The polymer powders aren't anything special AFAIK..

Hence my statement of 'smaller improvements'. FDM and PLA tech has reached a point where it is now very accurate, and it will be very difficult to find...

I believe it's the industrial printing sector you need to watch from now on. I think the consumer printer sector has reached a point where further improvements...

3d prinitng is evolving very quickly, three to five years from now current machines will look very limited. I think in the future, your average injection...

No error message, just see small blank squares. Are these linked from elsewhere or uploaded to the site?

The images aren't visible, Tom.

Yes I remember. I thought it might have been from your first sub, but wondered if it had been sold as a package with the hull.

[Subculture]

Mark one microgyros (then called model controllers I think) leveller in that one. Possibly one of Mike's ESC's too?

All the Engel Typhoon hulls have that gap at the bow, think it's a fault in the tooling.

Most builders fill it in, then extend the anechoic...
