Time to put my money where my mouth is. I got 5 pcb's in my order (because that was the minimum order) and I've spent the last couple weeks brushing back up on my soldering skills one one of them as a throwaway, because boy were they rusty.

But today, after spending most of the evening flashing a new firmware to the arduino-based controller chip for the whole shebang, I decided I had dusted them off enough to quit procrastinating and get started.

Not as nice as they might've once been, but seem perfectly serviceable.

finished making my VOC sensor and hooked it up to wifi and home assistant.

Looks perfectly serviceable for knowing when my printer is printing. Now to get some smart switches and connect the Bento Box and the room air purifier to automation based on this data.

No key (tab/slot/notch) or slight cross-section shape adjustment (oval/triangle) to reduce torque drift while still allowing telescoping for tuning?

The new 'traveler' whistle definitely has that feature in the body section where the two halves join. Whistlers generally want their holes perfectly aligned.

The flute was patterned after actual Irish flutes I own, and they typically lack that kind of lock-in. Some people like to rotate the bottom three holes for easier reach. Most flutists snug up their tuning slides or other joints with teflon tape if they're loose enough to drift. But since these things aren't gripped that strongly in the hands, it doesn't take much friction to keep them in place.

Overnight print failed...toppled right over. Cleaned the print beds and gave them another whirl.


Not "pro" by any stretch...but considering it's the very first print off the machine without any tweaks or improvements, I think it's a great start.
