Hi, I'm Ian M,
I'm just another RML member who's reasonably competent with electronics, including digital and MCUs, computers and mechanical stuff, after a couple of decades in the consumer electronics service trade.
Other interests include sailing and boat maintenance - not that I do much nowadays - and reading SF. I used to be seriously into Sinclair 8 bit computers, and still have a fair bit of vintage Sinclair kit, in various states of operability. I also have a few vintage PCs.
My motto should probably be: "Knows entirely too much about not enough subjects!"
Projects
My main project back in 2022 was assembling, tuning and upgrading a £99 3D printer, and learning the necessary software to fully use it. In 2023, I was heavily involved with repairing, maintaining and upgrading the RML CJ18A lathe. This year (2024) I've been getting into CNC machining.
More detail
- My CJ18A mini-lathe notes are here. I'm now one of the Lathe trainers and maintainers, and can provide your Lathe Induction (ask on Telegram). Thanks IanB for my Induction back in 2022.
- I'm collecting my OpenSCAD notes here.
- £99 3D printer - My 2022 project, a Prusa I3 mk1 derivative, very similar to the RML Geetech machine.
- Back in 2021, I was doing some stuff with a WiFi 'tethered' Arduino robot.
- I've also got some notes on Running Atmel Studio 4 on Win10.

Plastics

Soldering & Brazing

Screw Fasteners
Screw Drives - Wikipedia's list of screw head/driver types. Good for finding the proper name for that obscure screw head so you can try to buy a driver for it!
