Batman Hybrid version (part 1)

Several months of R&D culminates here with this bat by the name of SASHA. We are switching from IR controller powered by 3 X AA battery pack (plus dummy battery pack on the other side to balance the light) to USB RF controller powered by dual 2 x AA battery packs – no line of sight issues.

Last week I did some testing and measuring in particular current consumption off power supply (simulating 5V USB power) and on batteries. I am comfortable that dual 2 x AA battery boxes will provide good battery life.

Al's Workshop updates

Technology purchase-

After a lengthy period of mulling decided to get this A3 printer for printing cutting templates and photo print backgrounds for photo frames plus other nifty stuff.

I will now of course be able to offer larger silhouette night lights and bigger bats and not have to stitch together A4 pages or fool around with fiddly poster print settings.

Waiting at Boronia vet with Holly – in the car park

We had a long wait like one hour – not to worry.

SCARLETT ballerina Part 3

From the last session we prepared Scarlett for cutting out on the scroll saw.

Here she is placed on the background, looks OK so let's give her a mat black spray paint.

Happy bat customer.
