December 23, 200916 yr comment_308316 Here's another seller that I've used. They have reasonable selection of hook-up wire if you poke around their store. 20-AWG Mil-Spec Wire 9-Colors 10-Ft-Each, 90-Ft-Total - eBay (item 230414847920 end time Jan-19-10 15:49:38 PST) I've bought some 22-awg silver plated hookup wire from them recently.

December 23, 200916 yr comment_308319 Thanks kerry, that is exactly what i'm looking for. I'll use normal stuff for the filaments. Edited December 23, 200916 yr by kevin gilmore Report
December 24, 200916 yr Author comment_308458 I do have a lot of ES-1 wire left and solid core is great for filaments. It's also supposed to be pure silver... Report

January 7, 201016 yr comment_312926 Yeah, I don't know why it is so painful to solder the umbilical cords / connectors.

Thats the floor in my office. The living room floor is one inch thick solid oak. Scratching that would be a really bad idea. I'm a slob and i can prove it...

January 7, 201016 yr comment_313049 Holy crap!!! Any particular reason why you hanging onto a 10+ year old Creative DVD drive or two? Warning, don't do this unless you know what you are doing. At one time i had a couple dozen of those. I take them apart for the laser diode, which on the creative phase rewriters are about 400mw... I make very dangerous laser pointers out of them. These days, i do the same thing with 1 watt green diodes. Report

Hole diameter is 18mm which exactly matches the he90 jack so everything will be symetrical. http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/staxjack1.jpg http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/staxjack2.jpg http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/staxjack3.jpg Report
January 12, 201016 yr comment_314727 machined from a solid piece of teflon, will add the mounting holes tomorrow and make a batch looks very nice! Will you cut them apart after the fact and program an array? Report
January 12, 201016 yr comment_314729 You know, that'd actually be pretty cool if he didn't (cut them apart). (I fully expect a "oh, that's just stupid, you can't do that, you'd cut off all the breathing from anything underneath it...". But still, it'd be neat looking.) Report
January 12, 201016 yr comment_314731 looks very nice! Will you cut them apart after the fact and program an array? That is exactly what i'm trying to do right now. First two tries at replication ended up with the parts on top of each other. Report
January 12, 201016 yr comment_314733 HEH, those pins look familiar...... I think I like the larger diameter of Marc's jacks a lot better, but the all-in-one construction on Kevin's version is great. Report
January 12, 201016 yr comment_314736 That is exactly what i'm trying to do right now. First two tries at replication ended up with the parts on top of each other. is this g code? or is there a special way to do step and repeat? Report
January 12, 201016 yr comment_314759 Is this what you are looking for? Rapid Electronics - Cables & Connectors Sorry, only UK... And they seem quite expensive... Hey, Birgir just point me to this thread, after a long absence in which I missed all this (horrendous timing, really). I think he is hoping that I won't kill him for tracking down a T2 and not telling me. He is so wrong... I'm just waiting for him to finish all his projected DIYs... (actually, that might not work for me... I'm likely to end dying first of old age). Anyway... this is about the "only UK" comment. Living here, I would be happy to help with any component that might be sourced only in UK. Now or in the future. Just let me know. Cheers and good luck. I'll keep going through the thread now. Report
