Ah, ok. Clear filament makes sense then. For the rest of the dial black would be good as it would match my keyboard/mouse/etc

I was hoping the translucent ring could be white to make the best use of the RGB LED ring that sits below it. I'm not particularly concerned about the colour of the other bits as I can easily give it a coat of paint.

I'm looking to put together one of these media dials: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2784844 There are printer setting on the Adafruit site here: https://learn.adafruit.com/media-dial/3d-printing I've looked at some of the commercial printing sites, but none of them seem to offer dual colour...

That's kinda the excuse they used when they hit my company several months ago. Problem is, the sheer amount of traffic they were throwing at us was some orders of magnitude higher than anything we would receive normally and companies aren't going to keep that amount of bandwidth in reserve just...

I haz Lego :)

Playing around with my light tent a while ago

If you think anarchic patriarchal attitudes towards women are limited to the developing world then I'm afraid I have some bad news for you. Have a read of Every Day Sexism, the sorts of morons who haven't evolved sufficiently to stop thinking with their **** are pretty prevalent in the...

I work for a computer games company, so tea party nut jobs probably don't like us very much

Myself and a group of friends (around 10 of us in total) are planning a week long holiday in Iceland around September time this year. We have a good idea of the cost of flights and accommodation, but not sure how much to budget for things like food, drink, travel and entry into places. Has...

Yep :)

Software testing is very different to games testing. I'm a software tester in a games company but don't test any of the actual games, instead I work on all the account management systems, billing systems, etc. You couldn't pay me enough to want to do games testing (slightly ironic given...

Didn't notice the warranties were different between the OEM and retail version of the processor; makes sense to stick with the retail and just throw the stock cooler in the rest of my spare bits. Otherwise I think I'm just about sorted. Many thanks for the help, will try to remember to pop a...

Nope, purely thinking about how much it would improve performance. My current rig has a RAID0 setup, but I've never been quite sure just how much of the improvement in performance was down the the RAID and how much was just from using newer drives. After a little tinkering and looking at the...

Ok, so a bigger PSU would be in order and consider dropping the i7 down to an i5. Is there much benefit to getting two smaller SSD's and RAIDing them as opposed to a single larger capacity one?

Was looking at a 750W Corsair Enthusiast TX750M for the PSU, although I suspect with two graphics card that may not be enough

Gaming and photography (Lightroom/Photoshop) will be the main things it gets used for. Video editing is a possibility in another year or two when I look to upgrade my camera but not an immediate concern. Mouse, keyboard, monitors, etc I already have from my current rig, so it's just the...

So my current rig is at the end of it's useful life and it's time to replace it with something a bit more beefy. After a nice Christmas bonus from work I have around £1,500 to play with and want to make sure I get something pretty future proof. The current (very rough) spec I have in mind is...

Sounds like Mighty Max I loved Lego as a kid (and as a slightly older kid), but the only Technik set I got was the space shuttle.

Tissot T-Tempo (Linky). I'm really not a fan of watches with buttons or dials all over them, prefer something quite plain and simple. First one I saw that I liked was a Roamer Stingray III (Linky) but it's not avaliable outside of Switzerland, so after a bit more searching I found the Tissot...

I got the white version, very pleased with it :D
