In powder bed #additivemanufacturing, consistency is key. The Materials Processing Institute has developed some handy morphological classifications for powders that give anyone working with these materials a great framework. bit.ly/3IOTBEA

Early Xmas presents from a friend who went to Japan recently. Motivation to fix my non-functioning SNES controller. Anyone recognise the top game? @nvmuk

Some snap-off, pre-mounted weld tracks (234) that just need a quick polish. Tried a few new laser strategies to hopefully make weld track analysis faster and more useful. @RoyceSheffield @mapphub #additivemanufacturing #3Dprinting

Shove some recrystallisation in there for good measure 🫤

Digital calliper read out to USB with a @Raspberry_Pi Pico. It will soon be installed on an #opensource mechanical testing machine as an extensometer. New oscilloscope for the home lab was invaluable at first ever attempt to decode a digital signal.

Really enjoying the @FullControlXYZ release schedule for new print designs. It’s like the old weekly magazine toy collection excitement all over again.

Struggled with the new @FullControlXYZ phone holder using an SD card to run the print. The seam kept overextruding and ripping the part away from the bed. Attempting to run manually via a Python script feeding gcode over usb 🤞

Seam from using SD card to run the gcode. Overextruded and the nozzle kept hitting it on each layer.

I don’t understand any of the biology here but the cell segmentation and visualisation is amazing! Love a good visual description.

This is why I made some ‘changes’ 😁 A PI allowing their trainees to properly own their work will undoubtedly result in a better project and a happier researcher in the long term.

I should probably point out that I’m happy where I am now for these reasons 🎉

Not just for code! I bet loads of groups have aspects of this, but that it still involves 1-2 key group members managing everything manually. Making the onboarding process partially asynchronous with an editable website is a great point 👍

Here's a rough timeline for setting up research lab code management, based on this thread. WDYT?

What if we could do this for materials science? Automated labs with tensile testers, fatigue rigs, DSC, XRD etc All the pieces of the puzzle are there already.

I excel at getting hangovers... but today I'm trying overhangs 🙃
"Overhang Challenge" model now available at fullcontrol.xyz
Try to get 90 degrees!
If anyone manages to get a downward overhang of 135 degrees, I'll buy you a car (I won't)
