I use a Trustfire charger and charge while I sleep.
No laptop batteries though, I have to draw the line somewhere.

I try not to charge while sleeping or away from home - but I would be lying to say it never happens
I do it all the time, but then again I've got an Opus 3100

Very nice! How did you make it? CNC?the start of something beautiful
Nice....the start of something beautiful
Dats the Jazz.the start of something beautiful
Milled to my specs by someone else, unfortunately CNC is something that will remain out of my hands probably indefinitely lol
Very few people from what I've discovered.
The problem with stabwood blocks is the inconsistency that you don't see. Once they start milling there could be pockets in the wood where resin didn't penetrate or other flaws that could literally split the whole block in half.
That aside, milling a single block takes more work than milling 10 boxes out of a single board. They are one-off pieces that require a reset and recalibration every time.
This is just info that's been given to me by several folks who do this for a living. I couldn't say for sure, but I trust the professionals.
It's not a bad idea at all, maybe you know someone who can mill it for you, but the general concensus among the 5 or 6 people I inquired with was that it was too risky, especially when the customer provides the block
However,
Some places that sell stabwood will also cut and machine it to your liking, within reason of course.
You just need to spend some (a lot) of time looking and asking questions.
I admire your artistic spirit, Brew. Didn't want to rain on your parade.

I deliver steel to shops and yes no one is going to want to mess with 1 pc jobs best thing is if you know someone but.......
Don't drip and drive.
Rain is not a problem, I have an umbrella. My intention is to make the box myself but I talked myself into a remodeling job that is never-ending. Once I see the light at the end of the tunnel, providing it is not another train coming, I will start playing with the box mods. Until then, I just look and dream.
Some modders manage with very limited tool sets.

Mills don't make up for lack of skills, but they certainly help and I couldn't do it

Yes, indeed, where there is a will there is a way!
I've made boxes in the past with nothing more than a drill press and forstner bit set, but I've also learned that acrylic tends to be a bit tougher to work with than wood, especially the chipping and cracking aspect. High-speed routers would probably be the best thing aside from a mill, but it would probably be best to have a jig unless you're a freehand master.
I use very few power tools, mostly because I never had them growing up and I've learned to adapt.
That's not to say I don't have plans to make my life easier at some point lol but for now I seem to be plugging along just fine!

But you gave it the old "college try" which is more than most folks would do!
Yep you can make template jigs and do the milling with a router.
And be sure to clamp your work piece down. Nothing says "holy shit" like a chunk of resin-impregnated wood getting bound in your tool and thrown across the shop.
Not that I've ever.... I mean.... there was that one time...

Can I just get on the list now?Your killing me Smalls. I predict secret Facebook group,lists and F5 wars in the near future. Better start looking for a second job lolOhhhhhhh, some new door material came knocking today
What's the verdict so far? Worth the money?

Yes, amazing customer service! Mine was shorting out since the LP clone it came with pin was touching the clamps, sent it in and the minute he got it he figured out the issue, fixed it and had it back in the mail the next day. The whole time he communicated everything he was doing with me.

QA lacking but great customer service?
No, it was a clone in the wrapper. Wasn't anything he had made or touched, but he took the pin and filed it down then sent a video of it working properly. I'd buy from them again without a doubt

There's a list?
I want to be on the list!
And I'm clearly not secretive enough for a secret group of any sorts. When a slab of wood gets me excited enough to share a picture with a group of people I hardly know,it seems pretty clear that I would run the worst secret society ever LOL
But now.... a closed group, that sounds like something that may have just become a thing. Give me some time to build the page a little bit and I'll teach you all the secret handshake
Unless there's plans on kicking me out of VU.
The other place has already warned me
But dinner time poll:
Should ultem buttons be a thing maybe?

Well I mean OK!
I went a little nuts this week. Idle hands and such.
Been there, done that....had the stitches and bruises to show, well that and 2 months off on disability
I really like dual 2.5 mm coils in mine.
Yeah, maybe you'll decide you like it sooo much, you could part with a Nuppin

Few things in my adult life have concerned me as much as that fucking resin missle bouncing off the walls around me at breakneck speed. Glad to hear you made it out (fairly) unscathed, Brew.
That thing is HUGE.....dual battery?Gbox s100

Dual battery yup. It's much smaller then the movkin pretty close in size to the triad 250 but a bit wider
