I had that but it seems to work from phone or at least I think it did. The next page is a bit confusing and made me think it didn't work.

Subscribed. Was hoping to be subscriber #1 but suspect I missed that one. Rob

Finally have finished all the routing for Speakon connectors and handles. Sides, top and bottom already glued, Now doing front and rear glueing and clamping. Next steps tomorrow, let the glue cure overnight, a bit of filler (ahem), sanding down, put a 6mm curve on the edges with the router, two layers of smooth Armacab on all external surfaces, one top layer of textured Armacab but masking off any rebated areas, measure for black 3d printed corners, print them overnight as eight hours , assemble all and test for Sunday (hopefully).

I wish I hadn't seen this.... Ideas, ideas, ideas..... First time I've seen a guitarist that really, really, needs safety goggles.... Basically its an offensive weapon I could also have told him that he couldn't make it from plastic

Don't let the door hit you on the way out...

That's great. Just let me know

I think you are right here, it's very sad that AI is creating electronic music that most people think sounds 'real'. The genie is out the bottle now, and people who are desperate for clicks on social media will be in a race to the bottom to use it. There is a whole generation of people who live on social media and will do anything to get those clicks. Witness people blowing up Ferraris or doing other stupid 'stunts' to get attention. Perhaps the "Dog and Duck" will be the centre of the fightback for real music, but I somehow doubt it. On the plus side, both my daughters love live music and want to go to gigs, they then buy the music for the band or singer, they love the live element of it all. Whilst they may be in a minority, most of their friends seem to be the same, and they will continue to keep going to gigs so long as the price is right (apologies for the pun). They have introduced me to new music, though I have to say that Kneecap is not my idea of a good time, but I can't imagine I'm their target audience

Attendees @rwillett - A couple of 3d printed basses or guitars, this will encourage me to finish my next two off. A couple of 8" Basschat cabinets. Might be interesting to try these with other peoples amps. One is quite loud, not quite finished the other one so not sure quite how loud they go. Since I'm about 100m away, I might bring anything or everything. Might even bring and setup a 3d printer if people are interested. If there is any interest and you need something thats more than a few hours to print, let me know well in advance. @neepheid @Frank Blank @Stub Mandrel - TBC @zbd1960 - TBC @ead - For some reason prefers Iceland (the country) to the Yorkshire Dales @ossyrocks @lee650 @80Hz @peterjam - TBC Lots of TBC's so hopefully we can firm up on numbers. So as you confirm, please add any equipment you might be bringing and update this. Would like to @rwillett Love to play some older basses to see what they are really like preferably with some old school valve amp heads. Would also love to play around with some amp modellers (I already have a Mod Dwarf and a ToneX) to see how they sound in comparison.

Just seen this in a data feed https://www.musicradar.com/music-tech/native-instruments-has-been-placed-in-preliminary-insolvency Doesn't look good Rob

So you'd rather go and see volcanos, waterfalls, geysers, drink hyper expensive alcohol, lots of black ash rather than spending a day with a bunch of bassists in a village hall in Yorkshire? Just checking....

If it helps I can probably print a square port of that approx size

If it walks like a duck, squarks like a duck, etc etc... I did like the "Why" as if this was a wholly unreasonable request. It made me smile.You're spending $5000 and would like to check what you are buying.

Tom, My most common tool is a decent digital calibrated caliper. I tend to work to around 0.2mm resolution with the Prusa, but I can get down to a consistent 0.1mm if I'm a little careful. Fusion 360 is happy to work to this resolution and far higher. There's no right way to model all of this, it's a case of what works for you. I used to draw rectangles and then fillet the sketch. This destroys the constraints and makes any changes difficult, thats why I moved to filleting the body as that can be done later. However that's just me. You tend to need 0.5mm or more for walls, 0.5mm is very thin, but printable at 0.1mm. It will flex, but that's not a major issue for pickup covers. I would have thought you wanted to make the pickup cover as tight as you can. If you are looking to paint them, then by all means print as-is and do supports and very gently smooth the support surfaces. Perfectly reasonable approach. Ask if any questions. Rob

So the guitarist is a bit of a virtuoso then, that D at the end is a brilliant twist.
