PFG Live 2023-0723: Does Anybody Really Know the RH? Jul 23, 2023

Show notes

Does Anybody Really Know the RH? - A person with two watches never knows the time. We discuss the $3 hygrometer, and dealing with its inaccuracies. There's a possible product development in there. Downhole Deburring - some new tools for an old problem. The NOGA RC1000, RC2000, and RC2200. A Better Balancer Thanks to My Wife - She moved it off the table, and I saw something. This led to a design improvement for the new BS-8. And a discussion about what you do with customers of an existing product you just improved.

Show notes

A Tale of Two Lids: Should I change from PETG to PLA+ Minimize Inventory: Superb 3DP reliability means minimum inventory... with a good spreadsheet PVA: Release Stick, NOT Glue Stick RSI: Maximize Automation.
