    3D Printed Barrel Servo/Fan

    http://www.metalsdepot.com/ has them, only $7.50 for a couple feet worth with *blech* $12 shipping. How thick do I want the wall to be at minimum?

    3D Printed Barrel Servo/Fan

    Yeah, I need to find a 2" x 1" rectangle aluminum tube. Neither Home Depot or Lowe's had one. I should have had you sent me a few inches of what you probably have left over. Do you have the square tube screwed to the case? What size screws if so?

    3D Printed Barrel Servo/Fan

    Tom, do I need any other fasteners or parts to put this together? Heading to the hardware store and I don't want to have to go back again for some other parts.

    HeaterMeter on the Raspberry Pi Model A+

    Man, if the A+ has issues like this I am seeing a recall or some firmware update in the works. Hopefully the Raspberry group can afford it. It seems pretty steady across multiple WiFi adapters. This is why than anything that they should just integrate WiFi onto the boards. Who doesn't want to...

    How many Heatermeter/Raspi built so far

    That's really disappointing. Didn't Vikings and other ancient northern Europeans cook all of their food over fire and coals?

    Crazy Shipping Losses

    You're right, Ralph. "Fledgeling" was a poor choice of words. Radio Shack is way more flailing or failing. I get the impression -- and I have experienced this firsthand -- that the management of the company just sat on their hands because they had a massive hold on the market back in the 80s and...

    How many Heatermeter/Raspi built so far

    That's awesome. Does your group have a photo gallery? What sort of things are you all cooking? Most of my heritage is German and Danish and I like connecting back to those cuisines as much as I can, especially during fall and winter.

    3D Printed Barrel Servo/Fan

    I'm worried that will just snap the plastic in half and I will have to buy another servo. It is oversized already.

    Are you selling these to Europeans, Peter? How much interest to folks have in it?

    Post your HeaterMeter graphs

    Nice setup, Brian. Looks very snow-proof.

    3D Printed Barrel Servo/Fan

    Tom, is it normal for the servo's arm to be a millimeter or two bigger than the hole it goes into? I guess I can sand down each tip a bit to get it to fit snugly.

    Crazy Shipping Losses

    This was a component in my order that they couldn't fulfill initially, so it shipped a couple weeks later. As far as Radio Shack, they gouge the hell out of their customers to keep their fledgeling business alive.

    Crazy Shipping Losses

    Can anyone beat this? Mouser sent me one 4.7Kohm Carbon Film Resister via USPS Priority Mail. How much did they spend to send me a 10 cent component?

    HeaterMeter Hardware v4.2.4

    Ah, okay. Then it's probably HeaterMeter itself that has a low end limit.

    HeaterMeter Hardware v4.2.4

    Not if the thermocouple has hit a physical limit in measuring temperature. You'd have to get another probe for the temperature range you want to measure. Ripped straight from Wikipedia:

    HM 4.2.4 3D Printed Case

    Wow, that is pretty freaky. Good thing you didn't start a fire. Thanks for all of your help, Matt.

    HM 4.2.4 3D Printed Case

    I saw that. Matt isn't making cases anymore, so I figured that information had to be old, plus it seems a few more folks have other options available now.
