Hey, #chainmail friends: Got a reliable source for high-quality scale #maille?

I’ve been prototyping with scales from Fire Mountain Gems, but 30-60% are unusable for jewelry – due to scratches/scuffs and the occasional discoloration. :/

Preferably:

  • 35.8mm x 22.2mm size option
  • USA
  • Multicolored aluminum (OR extra points for reasonably-priced titanium/niobium anodized scales!)

Photo dump, more #TapeMate progress Today also included standardizing the length of the webbing I'm using, at least for this size of tape measure. #LauraKampf #DIY #TrashToTreasure #MakeItYourSelf #Maker (OK... Apparently this thing is broken and I can't upload pictures? ) @wild1145@mastodonapp.uk ?

For those of you following along from home A couple of months ago, using stuff I had around the house (If you have a system it isn't hoarding) I made a few Laura Kampf inspired Tape Mates. Until you've actually used one, I get it, it seems like a silly thing. Once you've used one however.... https://youtu.be/F2UdQfSJW5E?si=Dz_JYh8C8WH8_vpY Well, my sweetie (She who runs the sewing machine for me too ) surprised me with a few buckle clips today! So, over the next day or two I'll be revisiting my design, probably starting from scratch, and remaking my own Tape Mates. I'm the luckiest fella! #Maker #TapeMate #LauraKampf

Oakee doakee... Got the prints back. Sphere retention is a bit too tight with these dimensions. It takes significant force to engage sphere. Will adjust octagon dimensions for greater accommodation. (

Having gone through the batch, it seems that, (as the Smiths never sang): "Some Prints are Tighter than Others" I will leave the model as it is and folks can make their own accommodation one way or another. #JellyLoad #Maker #RetroComputing #Optics #Hardware #3Dprinting

Experimenting with sphere retention structures which can be more reliably manufactured using FDM processes. It's "The Octagons" this time! Updated the Git to reflect this latest attempt. https://github.com/StefanoGaivota/Optical-Data-Channel-JellyLoad-Hardware #JellyLoad #3Dprinting #Maker #Optics #RetroComputing

(Can you tell I'm nervous about videoing the process?) #3Dprinting #JellyLoad #Maker #RetroComputing #Optics #Hardware

New vid! #PCBs I made in 2025, part 1: LED charm ✨ https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTH1NuelDig Finally pulled together a prototype with this little board – one of my new #Charmware set, reviving the series of modular tech #jewelry bits I started back in 2018. Been dreaming of assembling these with elytra and bike-leather, and the day finally came... The board still needs some tweaks (smaller switch etc.), but with my fixed-up #KiCad workflow, those will be a snap. 😸 // #Maker #LEDs #WearableTech

Wrapped up my latest custom #keyboard today. It’s a single handed keeb designed exclusively for playing #ArcRaiders . Designed in TinkerCad and #3dprinted on my #Prusa mk4. Then hand painted with Panduro Hobby Acrylics and dusted with weathering powders. Running #kmk on a #seeed Xiao #rp2040. #mechanicalkeyboard #maker #electronics #3dprinting
