  1. This "fume vacuum" is working really well for me so far - i did move my work area to shorten the length of the tubing which made it pull much harder.

    I will not go without something like this from now on.

  2. Yeh USD$52 plus shipping etc means it'll be closer to $70 but that's still al ot less than the $300 they used to go for...

    the idea

    I would like to see the base removed and just have it from the led ring up sticking out of a MB... at this point I cant be picky about the manner in which it gets used as i do not yet have the skills to integrate it myself in any way.

    Ohhh i forgot to mention that in addition to tilting f, b, l, r  it also pushes in these directions as well,  but you dont even have to think about it when you are using it.

  3. Where?

    I talked a co-worker into getting one of these and it is really hefty and just as good as my $400 version.

    This one might be interesting too with buttons all around the side...  http://www.amazon.com/3D-Connexion-132100002-3Dconnexion-SpaceTraveler/dp/B000BU6Y68/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=

    I love logitech products ;D

    Since using I cant believe anyone does 3d without this.  In my hand 8 hours a day. 

    I want to see implemented into a MB.

  4. I am refining my setup.

    Cutting the length of the vent hose in half greatly increases flow. Looking for a quieter solution but this works for now.

    I can cut the dryer off with a switch by my foot to reduce noise.

    I have been practicing soldering and gathering more tools.

    I think i can solder my core now without ruining it.

    Im just trying to take everything in...  i dont have much free time to read as i would like.

    We would just have to see when the time comes..  im pretty much in with the president of the company, but everything would have to be go very smoothly.

    Right now im just putting out the feelers everywhere i can and we will see what happens. 

    I have a mountain of learning in front of me and i would love to give back to this community... so keep in touch

  6. (asking your wife..is like telling yourself "NO"...)  ;)            Well she has been surprisingly cool so far...  but she really could never know where this is headed.

    Well she has been surprisingly cool so far...  but she really could never know where this is headed. (not that i do)

    I just hope to know what you guys are talking about in your posts soon...right now all this troubleshooting you are going thru is like greek to me :-\

  7. Im going to use this thread to document my midibox journey, to get help, and to possibly help others that are new to this.

    My project will be called "Faderbox" (a take on Faderfox (which i love) ) ;)

    I have no prior electronics experience and no programming skills.  However i am an industrial designer at a rapid prototyping company and have access

    to a number of manufacturing processes that will make construction of the control surface a bit nicer.

    So far i have spent a lot of time reading and i am beginning to gather what i will need.

    I started getting some practice soldering by desoldering a power supply....... EDIT: This was not the best way to learn. Just go get a few pcbs and about 100 resisters and go to town.

    After reading about the hazards of solder fumes, i decided i needed a ventilation system.....
