Just putting something out there I just noticed recently. I placed an order for some High Endurance PLA+ 2.0 filament from Sunlu yesterday and I come back today to find all the prices for the Budget Best Sellers on Amazon for PLA and PLA+ products Marked Up anywhere from 12.5% to a whopping 50%...

Thank you for your insight, @Kamp. That was the problem. I was trying to keep the quality as high as possible so there would be less processing down the line. I recall lowering the quality down 2% once in Fusion and FreedCAD just to try successfully converting it, but my PC still wouldn't put...

Sorry for the lack of updates. Life got pretty busy there for a week. Despite the unusual spike in summer business in my Secular work, I have exhausted all free methods of converting the mesh file to STEP, and the same errors are present after repair and conversion. There are some internal...

I have Tested A List of Different Free CAD Software and might post a review with the pros and cons each CAD possesses later today, as currently it's 3 in the morning. I was also able to convert the Optimized Files STL file of the Ashida shell into .step format. Based on Testing though there is...

I planned on CNC machining an aluminum faceplate to hold the OLED screen for the Portable. This will be done on a desktop CNC machine I have, but it only takes solid material files with STEP files being the easiest to initialize for machining. Online tools seem to be having the same issue I am...

I have downloaded the free version of Fusion and tried using it unfortunately it seems that I cannot accomplish one of the tasks I was aiming for. I have been trying to revise one of Wesk's Ashida STL models for a shell I want to print. However, I need to convert it into a STEP model, but I...

Looking at the dimensions of the default Pinecil tip, it should work well, using the solder blob technique.

I second Shank, I once pretty darn near destroyed an Xbox 360 back when I was barely getting into electronic repair with a cheap and fairly old soldering iron from Harbor Freight. I recommend Hakko as a potential brand if you want to get a prime station that will last a long while. I have some...

Thank you for the recommendation TheDrew. I will probably have to ask my brother to see if he would create an account and then let me use it. As I have a paid account with them already for my other licensed laptop they will not allow me to use the free version when I inquired about it yesterday...

I recently moved to another city for a project, and I have left my laptop in storage because I will be moving back in the next couple of months. The issue is that the laptop has my lifetime copy of Fusion 360 installed on it, and I don't have the time or funds to travel back there to retrieve...

Thank you very much for the insight Stitches. I was more so curious if it was possible to wire the LCD screen to accept RCA Or HDMI, I ordered a 8 inch IPS Multipurpose LCD Screen Display Monitor and HDMI Driver Control Board from ebay that I'll modify once it arrives for the portable. However...

A Little Backstory: I recently received a spare small 1.8 (the kit self-proclaimed it as HD though I'm skeptical due to the size) screen I happened upon from an arduino kit I got as a present. Note that the vendors of that kit were kind enough to provide what I assume is normally clear manual...

Quite new to the idea of making portables, started planning to build one about a month ago. I have only some very basic electrical understanding from Stem classes back when I was in school. It's so cool to find a community of people with so much experience on making consoles portable after...
