![]() It does get hot pretty quick though not as fast as my solder station. The temperature reading seems a bit squirrelly until it gets up to temp, but it is programmable, so maybe that can be fixed at some point. I believe I know someone who will want one of them, so that just leaves one extra to figure out. One of them will become my new portable setup, though I might need a different stand to fit this one. In this case, I got three of them (one older version with a single tip and two of the 2017 updated versions with two tips). This is one of the items I did hope to get since my portable soldering iron is pretty old and basic. ToolPAC PRO32 Smart Soldering Kit ($75 x2, $59) If I were to get something from the premium bag instead, I would have rather an oscilloscope. ![]() Also, I have no idea what I would use it for so let me know if you have any ideas or would like it. There aren’t any other items specific enough to say what happened. One of these days I will look into why this happens, but I don’t see it as an issue with the device.Īnother thing that is curious about this item is that I am not sure why it was even in there since it was included in the hints on the premium bag and mine were all the advanced bag. In this case when I hit the button, this device kept the screen on, but the values went a bit wild: ![]() My battery pack has a button that doesn’t really turn it on and off, but it usually just seems to turn the level indicator lights on and off. I used a battery so I could get a good picture away from outlets. One thing that is curious is how it reacted running of a USB battery pack. I can say tell that low numbers are good and I am not surprised by the results where we live. The page lists three different models and I haven’t yet figured out which one this is or what all the readings are. This device measures numerous aspects of air quality and I can’t claim to understand even half of it. Included Items Pure Morning Air Quality Monitor ($115.99) Most things were in anti-static bags which made it difficult to show them on camera, so here is the details of what we found. The items for all three “bags” were all together in two packages, so there is no way to distinguish what was in each one. I wouldn’t blame anyone for skipping it and getting to the rest of the post. I never do this kind of thing and having the kids involved really made it unpredictable and awkward. The resulting board is easy to assemble, the tiles stay in place, and the board is easy to move around without incurring disaster.The mystery bags from SainSmart that I mentioned in my previous post arrived and we tried doing an unboxing video. The design addresses each of the issues with the base game quite well. Easy removal of tiles when pressure is applied to any corner.Nooks for settlements, cities, and roads.Sturdy but easy T-Style interconnection points.Many caliper measurements, calculations, frustrations, and prototypes later, this was the result: There are a few designs on Thingiverse that expanded upon Tim Walsh’s idea for Hexels, but I thought I could come up with a more functional design. I decided instead to print out tile holders on my 3D printer. Unfortunately, the production for Hexels only seems to have lasted as long as its Kickstarter. ![]() I liked the modular approach, since if you had enough of them, you can create any size board you wish to play on. There are two primary solutions to the problem: One, purchase a large, expensive board like those offered by Catan Boards Two, use modular tile holders like Hexels. The board is difficult to assemble tiles will often bump up at the edges, and once the board is assembled, it is very difficult to move the board without having the pieces shift all over the place. The tiles are held in place by a cardboard frame, which does not work well in practice. I uploaded the model to Thingiverse, where the model is available for download.įor those not familiar, Catan is a board game that consists of several hexagonal cardboard tiles that are randomly arranged for each play. I used OpenSCAD to create several iterations of the model and a Printrbot 3D printer to prototype each iteration. This project was my first foray into functional 3D modeling.
