Ok, as promised the second video that many of you have asked about over the last few months on which laser cutter, so thank you for your patience and hope this helps demystify a bit!

They are very different devices to 3d printers, so it's not as simple as better and better models, these all differ in the materials they can handle and the applications they're best suited to.

Nevertheless, I've tried to give you as much information as possible to help understand the differences!!!

Enjoy!

Hey all!!

As promised first video, I'll publish the other laser one later, so get extra popcorn ready!

This honestly blew me away, it's such a leap forward for air filtering - I look forward to seeing lots of imitation versions from other brands in the coming months!

Oh and xTool have already come back to say they've taken the feedback on opening up its API, so they're going to look at this!!

Enjoy!

Had a bit of a random side-quest this year after realising all my outdoor herbs had died! My herb beds looked like there'd been a nuclear winter, so I figured I'll solve that with a Fallout-proof Herb Vault!!!

Enjoy!!

I probably haven't done this justice with my constant messing around, but it's like a Switchbot S10 with a handle - it vacuums and mops like a manic!

If you've got pets, kids, muddy walks or you're a gardener, this could well change the game for you!

Hey all!!!

Well I couldn't wait to share this one (not least as several of you have been asking about security camera options whilst I was secretly helping test this!!) - so I thought I'd try and drop an extra video in in-between the usual schedule!

It's now released - it's an awesome device - I love how battery and wired cameras are starting to converge!

I can't say how much better this is than my old cameras!

Reolink site: https://reolink.com/product/altas-pt-ultra/?aff=507

Also I'm very fond of two other cameras:
Their bonkers 180 degree double 4K camera:

And their robot tracking double lens camera:
https://reolink.com/gb/product/reolink-trackmix-poe/?aff=507

These will feature in the workshop build as I'm going to use them for all sorts of cool stuff!

I've got absolutely masses of extra footage on this, so I'm thinking of pulling together a 'behind the scenes' Patreon extra video if that's of interest to anyone??
