packaging design is hard

Packaging for a garbage can. The image on the box is of a lower body. A foot is stepping on the bin opener. The carry holes in the box itself are at crotch level of the figure, making it look like he has an enormous wang

I made a tool that turns PCB designs into 3D-printable molds. you sandwich copper tape between the parts, sand the ridges, and you have a real working PCB. no etching, no chemicals. I am losing my mind castpixel.itch.io/pcb-forge

I printed it and stuck self-adhesive copper tape to it. There's copper tape with conductive adhesive so you can add multiple overlapping pieces and it counts as one conductive surface.

Then I used the second part of the mold to shape the copper, so that it sticks inside the recessed traces.

Then I used sandpaper to file away at the raised ridges. The copper traces are now electrically independent of each other. Done!

But if I want, I can remove the extra copper tape.

I'm learning stuff I never thought I'd have to touch - did you ever have to manually traverse CBOR data, or write a RLP-decoder from scratch? 🙃

Found some time to work on colibri.diy again. Have been debugging an issue for a day with modern phones having trouble to connect via BLE.

Can we start a society like the Amish, but instead of 19th century rural living, we live in the 1990's with video rental stores, pay phones, and dial-up internet?
