Hello retro hardware people - a friend of mine has a recreation of the Camputers Lynx PCB but it has no marking on it - does anyone know who made it and are the gerbers available anywhere?
Cheers, and please share for reach #RetroComputing #Maker

Okay! 3D printed sign handle for your protest sign to fight fascism is now available!
https://rasterweb.net/raster/2025/07/14/3d-printed-sign-handle/
I'm finally pleased with my 3D printed sign handle. It's two parts, bolts together with a cardboard sign between the pieces. I've made the back side larger so it can be glued to the sign to help stabilize it in wind. (Learned I needed that the hard way!)
Hand-dyed gradient #WendysWonders merino-cashmere-nylon yarn used in this #WIP.
It's a Rayna shawl. Final color about to start, a deep forest green. Moving right along!

I bought an old Arco Solar panel way back in 2002 but never did anything with it. It was so old I couldn’t even find a spec sheet online! The #kids and I used the multimeter we recently fixed to measure basic Voc and Isc, then built our own #diy #solar USB charger for batteries and #solarpunk #maker projects, like powering our recent “Cricket in a Can” piezo #music platform with the sun. We added a few nice touches like (some) water resistance, sun-angle clamp, and of course some personal decor.

Announcing a makers calendar for the uk.
https://parsecsreach.org/makers_calendar_uk/
If you run an event for makers in the uk please let me know. At the moment I don't really care how you let me know, replies to this are fine, but ideally issues on the github repo here: https://github.com/emilyselwood/makers_calendar_uk or even pull requests if you feel up to it. (you can do them through the github web interface, no need to even clone it)
I've added @MakersHour and my local repair cafe to get started.

Yay! That's definitely the best adhesion I've managed in a very long time 
The PETG seems to pick up moisture even during this brief 20-odd-minutes print, though - humidity is sky high here right now (currently 65% in my living room with the door open 
); without a dry box it may not be possible to print with this material at this time...
PEI sheet for the 3D printer arrived 
time to find out if it's an improvement

For #WIPWednesday I present to you yet another Reyna shawl, a pattern that plays well with gradient yarns.
This skein goes from pink to grey to brown to a deep forest green. It's fun watching the colors unfurl!

Does anyone have any tips for non-destructively dismantling old incandescent lamps (E27 base) with the intent to modify/reassemble them?
The process is presumably "desolder the pip on the base, then loosen the cement/epoxy/whatever that attaches the base to the glass envelope and separate"
But does anyone have any details of how to do that last bit?
I'll tag some communities that might know, feel free to add more?
Hey, I'm on that list - several times even!

The best microcontroller thing I did last year was build this little kit that fits in a 3D printed rugged box and covers close to 90% of things I need to deal with for the products I sell & support.
I can easily throw it in my bag when I'm on the road, otherwise it sits on my desk where I can quickly grab it to test something.
Had some fun making notebooks and assorted stationery at @thebodgery last night. #maker

remembered I had a couple of deep C clamps
_Finally_, gluing the pallet boards together for the new bike cargo trailer floor.
