Build a box out of plywood, insulate around it with rockwool, and build another box on the outside of that, also insulated. Should be a good start at least. Don't forget the backstop!

A dozen would be great! 20% growth! 😂

I wish people would do better than to bow to reddit and try a new community

Move on, they're just going to keep banning everything.

Same with all the old irc gun channels. They've almost all moved to discord, which is just as bad as reddit. Meanwhile our free speech network has like 10 active users lol

Why would you want to join a Facebook group when we have the fediverse? Facebook is cancer

I have a couple t-beams and some wisblock based nodes as well. I would recommend the wisblock over the tbeams because you'll get much much better battery life and a more compact package.

The downside is you'll have to build it out to some extent - wisblock system is designed to be very adaptable so there's lots of options. But all you'd need to get started is a battery, antenna, and the meshtastic kit

Very cool! I've been messing with meshtastic on and off but with no one else in range it gets a little boring 😕

Been meaning to test ATAK as well but too many hobbies and not enough time unfortunately

I was also looking into LoRaWAN for a higher data rate backbone/hub but haven't made it to the point of obtaining any hardware yet.

Another thing I want to play with is some higher powered data stuff in the 2m/70cm bands once I get an all mode radio for those frequencies, HF is fun but not very fast 😂

If you start a meshtastic community, or anything else comm related, please drop a comment here and let me know!

I have an entry level 3d scanner (creality ferret pro) and it's a lot more work scanning objects than it is to take the measurements and reverse engineer it from scratch. The big things that the scanner helps me with is matching surfaces (like a helmet for example, hard to measure round shapes with no good reference points) or for artistic prints (mini statue of yourself, anyone?)

The piece pictured doesn't look super complex, I would think you could model it fairly quickly once you get the hang of a decent cad program.

I use Siemens Solid Edge community edition, it's free and has everything I need and more.
