OKAPHONE Elektronika kan al meer dan 95 jaar de mooiste artikelen aanraden, maar dit is natuurlijk alleen mogelijk door de vele makers die ons door de jaren heen met adviezen en mooie verhalen ondersteunt hebben! Daarom hebben we nu de OKAPHONE maker cards in het leven geroepen, een plek voor makers, door makers! Lijkt het je wat om hier tussen komen te staan? Erg leuk voor onze bezoekers en nog leuker voor je page rank!

Caméra #Imilab EC2 : RIP la réparabilité ! 😡Test d’une Imilab EC2 en 2021. 4,5 ans après : panne batterie.
Remplacement ? LOL. Il faut chauffer, décoller, arracher, tout démonter… pour trouver un pack 18650 + BMS indémontable, scellé Marre des produits jetables !

I bought an old Arco Solar panel way back in 2002 but never did anything with it. It was so old I couldn’t even find a spec sheet online! The #kids and I used the multimeter we recently fixed to measure basic Voc and Isc, then built our own #diy #solar USB charger for batteries and #solarpunk #maker projects, like powering our recent “Cricket in a Can” piezo #music platform with the sun. We added a few nice touches like (some) water resistance, sun-angle clamp, and of course some personal decor.

Announcing a makers calendar for the uk.

parsecsreach.org/makers_calend

If you run an event for makers in the uk please let me know. At the moment I don't really care how you let me know, replies to this are fine, but ideally issues on the github repo here: github.com/emilyselwood/makers or even pull requests if you feel up to it. (you can do them through the github web interface, no need to even clone it)

I've added @MakersHour and my local repair cafe to get started.

I have Made a Thing!
The ridiculousness of this is that this tool I have made is for a craft that I've only put a toe into so far - spinning.

Okay, so what is it that I've made?

On the left is a diz. I didn't make it, I'm repurposing a pendant that I had in my supplies.

The tool on the right is a diz-threader; it's for grabbing the end of the fluff and pulling it through the diz when starting making the roving. This is the thing which I made, and I'm quite pleased with it. A length of tigertail folded over, threaded through some beads, crimped, and a clasp attached to the end. The clasp is so that I can attach the diz-threader to the diz when I'm not using them.
