02:07 AM * Loetmichel likes how that 3dprinting adds to the development "ease"... made some aluminuium shielding boxes for POE/USB PSUs yesterday... designed an insulation box for the PSU PCB in about an hour just now. Now i only have to print it a few times and assemble said boxes... VERY easy and it looks way better than any cobbled together stuff with sheet plastic... -> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/
