I started the re-cap of the BBS's computer motherboard late last night. I had a few more caps to do this morning.. but its now done! If its going to run 24/7. It needs to be the best quality it can be. (I didn't just replace all the caps, i improved there size as well)

Well the dial up modems for the BBS live again! I still have to re-cap them and restore them... BUT at least they turn on :-) Its a bit tricky to work out what power supply's they need.... but its doable.

Another Health update: My hands and fingers have been so painful and stiff.. I have had to take a break from soldering Yes, typing on a keyboard / moving a mouse is painful as well. But not as bad as soldering... Thanks everyone for your understanding and support :-)

This is around 2 ish rolls of Filament... These are RAW straight from the printer. I still need to work on them to remove like the Supports and Brims etc. Then they will be ready for more Cave "Espgaluda" PCBs.

It looks like I can 3D Print 2 complete PGM cases from 1 roll of Filament! I have bought more than 25 rolls since I got my 3D printer more than a year ago... I mainly got it with the hope that 3D Printable PGM cases would be drawn by someone... at some stage.. and now they are!
