I'm ever so glad that the Mixx appeals to me not at all.

So happy for you, Charlie! Way to go! Congratulations!


Right. Let us know how you like them, please. I wonder if they are MTL-able.

Thanks Kat. I'm not sure whether the Dvarw DL will come with a MTL kit. I'm thinking probably not. I'll certainly report back about the improvements. The biggest one for me will be how easy it is to clamp those coil legs down.....

Anyway I'll let you know. It'll take a while as they still haven't left China yet

1966 anybody? 4th little guy from the bottom right. I am surrounded by first grade girls...

Much simpler days.... I grew up, pretty much like Opie Taylor.

And that teacher, Mrs Lumb. Never was married. Back then where I grew up, they could spank you. Ow!

Looking quite dapper in the bow tie. Not everyone can pull one of those off.

I'm doing fine. Really pleased actually as my nurse pursuaded me to try taking my oxygen off and I've just done a whole day without any bad effects. So looks like I'm off the oxygen which is a fantastic feeling.

That's excellent Charlie. Way to go!!!

Thank you! Not everyone's last name is....Bond

I have a meme. No, I didn't make it--but I saw it and fell in love. Reminds me of Stellaluna, a storybook bat--my daughters loved the book when they were little. I had to read it to them over and over.

Now I want a bat just like that!!! That face. So cute.

Had to grab the phone so I could steal this. Thank you Katya!

I did too.

You should watch some of the pet and rescue bat vids on YouTube. Just amazing. I like fox's too.



But seriously, we are considering getting a Maine .... cat so Ben the Cockapoo has a companion. Been doing a lot of research on them, and they always weigh in at the top for a family pet. There are 3 breeders within driving distance here in NC.

I wish they were available somewhere over here. Just can’t justify DHL $$ for a $3 cap. Maybe. I might cave. A gold cap on a black and white mod is just sooooo wrong

You're funny. The gold cap looks stylish on the tuxedo, IMO. But this is coming from a guy who's idea of dressing up is tee's, jeans and Teva's. Maybe think of it as the Tuxedo's gold bow tie clasp (if there is such a thing).
Or like so...

Ok, getting serious now...

I would be surprised if the caps are ever carried over here.

Aspire UK will be getting the battery caps.

Same with CloudStix UK.
Aspire Mixx Battery Cap

Regular shipping would likely be quicker from either of those.

Feeling accomplished! Took the 0.8 pin on the pioneer and drilled it out. It’s probably 1.8-1.9 now. Close enough to the happy af zone. Whatever it is, it’s now looser than the zenith open wide. I can live with this!

Way to go!!! "Modding with Mel". Would have loved a video.

How did you do it? Drill press? What did you use for a clamp? Regular old vise?

You're talking about the 0.8 from these, right?

I'm planning on drilling out one of the Tripod's smaller AF pins to see if I can get it close to 2mm (or better). @Katya wants to do the same with hers.

In my experience, this is what the fox says:

 

[ShowMeTwice]

They do have a $5.56 USPS shipping option. Estimates 8 - 15 business days to the States. Optimistic maybe.

And yes - I'm pretending I like my gold cap...

When I bought my Aspire NX75-A CNC's from them it took about two weeks. Although that was well over a year ago.

The Avocado's look sharp on your Mixx.

The gold cap rocks!!! Or, maybe I'm just style handicapped.

Thanks to You and @NolaMel my little tux Mixx is now psycho. A very alarming demand came up on its screen earlier "new cap or no fire". It's letting me use it with this temporary fix.

We love our maine ..... They’re more dog than cat. Ragdolls are awesome too. My friend’s plays fetch!

Morning shinies

I know the Oinker has only just got his delivered
I'm happy to send em' to NZ as well if in need

If I planned to run the Mixx in 18350 mode, I'd happily take them off your hands But I much prefer the larger capacity of 18650s. So send them the way of the Oinker and the Bludger, who will actually use them

Yep, dressing up is jeans without holes here
I’ll look into the EU options if it really bothers me. Or.....Maybe buy a gold tank to tie it all together. Looks like the black and tuxedo may both be delivered tomorrow.

Don't you have an Ultroner Ministick? That takes an 18350.

I do have a Mini Stick but I already had a couple of 18350's for that. And its something that only gets used every now and then so I'm set for little batteries! Plus extras I don't need
