    A couple of pics to hopefully wet peoples appetites for the pedal toppers. You are seeing them very close up (< 10cm), so ignore the print lines. From left to right Galaxy Black Galaxy Blue Prusa Orange Fire Engine Red And on a green (shudder) pedal Hope this piques peoples interests. Rob

    As you are local, I'll come round and drop my stuff in your attic once you've cleared it. Two weeks, pah, not even trying. We still have unopened boxes from three house moves ago. Not sure what's in them to be honest, now I think back on it, not seen the kids for some time... mmm....

    I've been playing with alternatives to Barefoot Buttons for my pedalboard and have this design which I shamelessly stole off Thingiverse. These work really well, they are plastic rather than metal and fit 10mm foot switches. They do not fit the smaller foot switches yet, e.g. my own Mod Dwarf, but I'll adapt the design when I have time. These are in sparkly blue as thats whats on both my printers at the moment. but I can do red, black, white, Prusa Orange (thats the orange you see on Prusa printers), yellow and any other colour that I have lying around. I'll do these for a £1 each, you tell me the colours and I'll pay the cheap postage in the UK, you simply make a donation to this fund for Iris. So if you want 10, make a £10 donation and let me know and I'll print them up and send them to you. Any special requirements drop me a message and I'll see what I can do.

    In which case as you are local, I'll store all my stuff in your attic rather than my cellar. Cheers and thanks 😊

    @d-basser took me with two falls and a knock out, so I'll defer to him Rob

    Just seen the previous email re Germany. They do look easy to print and they also look like they grip the slider. Lets see what comes out of this. Thanks Rob

    My fighting days are long gone, so you've won this fight I only have FDM (2 x Prusa Mk4, not the MK4S which came out about eight weeks after I brought this paid, bitter and twisted? Yep) so that might be a plus or minus for the knobs. I do have a 3d scanner but it's down at the moment as I need to rebuild the Mac to work with it. The slight issue with the slider knobs that occurred to me is that they are often (normally?) push on and have a little flex to them so they grip the metal notch. That's based on a large sample set of about three slider knobs, so not statistically significant. Would it be a good idea to have some flex in the knobs, e.g. a rubber glue that is set inside the knob before it's inserted, that might grip a bit better. Of course I could be talking complete bollocks here Rob

    I do... Here's a Telecaster Deluxe (ish) currently being printed. @d-basser has also offered to do a replacement, not an issue if he picks this up. Rob

    I had to suppress my desire to buy a load of stuff on his site just in case I might need a Japanese pull saw. Like I say, dangerous site to look at

    So this is for when the earlier donations can be drawn down? So later donations will still be subject to the 14 day rule? So its in fits and bursts? Thanks Rob

    The Watch plays Genesis At Kendal Brewery last night. They played The Lamb lies down on Broadway. Not my favourite Genesis album but enjoyed it all the same.

    Order made. Managed to keep it down to a reasonable amount. Love the site Thanks Rob

    @kodiakblair I assume you mean this one https://www.reidtimber.co.uk/ I'll look through and work out what I need. Looks a dangerous place to shop I can see a simple maple order turning into a mega order. There's too many nice things there and whats worse, they're reasonably priced. Must resist... Thanks Rob

    I want some Maple to make end grain dowels to plug into a neck I have to make it headless. I wanted it clean and neat. I've seen what @Andyjr1515 does with necks and I've learnt whats good and not so good. £20 for a piece of maple a few inches long is an outrage. Rob
  15. rwillett
    Thanks for this. I now understand. I looked on eBay for some tiny bits of maple (30cm by 2cm by 2cm) for making some end grain dowels and was astonished at how expensive maple was. Certainly wasn't anywhere near the prices that mill was charging. Capitalism in action. Appreciate the comprehensive response. Many thanks Rob

    They can be found perhaps not quite yet. Mine is great but as somebody else has said the Tokai might be another option. Don't dismiss the older Squiers. I have an 89 Squier Tele MIK and it's fabulous. Look around and try stuff if you can. Rob

    Brought a nice six string neck from John. Exceptionally well packed. A pleasure to deal with in every aspect. Rob

    I have a 97 MIJ Jazz in blue and its a great bass. You can find them at around £600 or so.

    I have the HA-2 and think it's great. No issues with the usb socket yet. Works well on all guitars. I also have the Nuix but prefer the HA-2. Got the HA-2 for very little off fleaBay so check that out. Rob

    So my knowledge of MBF is slightly less than my knowledge of ancient Sanskrit. I looked it up on Google and I'm still clueless, however it appears from what you said that a bass neck could be as little as $1.65 for the raw wood material. I know there are loads of work and other hardware, but that sounds cheap to me. Also I am assuming that a body would be circa 5-6 BFs, which again sounds cheap. Have I got the maths wrong here? Thanks Rob

    That is a very generous donation. Well done. I see that we have 22 days to go and we have reached £6,000. Given Andy's water tap isn't going to magically move from one side of the house to the other, it would make sense to move the target yet again. However that's not my call to make Thanks Rob

    Just good friends....

    If you need any IT support or help, more than happy to help, but suspect that's not your first priority
  24. rwillett
    You can be assured I will keep an eye on your stock.

    @walshy I'm coming your direction a few times in the next few months as my daughter is playing rugby against a number of womens rugby teams in the NE. I don't suppose you open on Sundays, I could help you do a stock check of your four Rippers? Rob
