This thing is super cool! It would be a strong consideration if I was local, and still pretty tempting even though I'm not

Yup, I use heat set inserts for a decent amount of stuff that I've designed. The JAMMA expander case I put on Thingiverse/Printables a while back used them. Sometimes I would use a longer bolt and have hole in the shape of a nut on the other side instead in order to avoid inserts, mostly...

27" 16:10 is not a thing afaik. You can use something like panelook.com to try and find nonstandard LCDs or other flat panels if you want, although that doesn't mean you will find something you can purchase even if you did. I've gone down this road before of looking for weird displays many...

Unfortunately it was pretty typical performance for IPS LCDs of that era to be pretty slow. At the time, IPS was just starting to become affordable, and offered much better color accuracy and viewing angle compared to TN, but they suffered from slower response times and mediocre black/contrast...

TBH the bigger issue with this monitor will be pixel response/refresh time anyways. High speed scenes look a bit blurry, and I struggle with this when I increase the note scroll speed in DDR/ITG. For racing it may give a smear effect, although I don't know how severe. I haven't looked into the...

The LCD panels are pretty much all the same no matter the model (LG), and every model is also pretty old (except the U3023, but is expensive and still discontinued) so I don't think a specific model matters too much. I would just buy whatever is cheap and available. These monitors are pre-2010...

Yes, both sides should be powering the harness. Otherwise you're splitting video between two cabs with one power source. If you ever used a crappy passive VGA splitter before, I imagine the effect would be similar. There would be a drop in voltage and a negative effect on video quality for both...

Based on the photos shown, there's a wire (pink) soldered to pin#26, which means that this is probably wired for CHAMMA. Unless your cab harnesses are also CHAMMA, this would be the first thing to correct. Both sides being wired for 5V should be correct. You can verify the correct voltage by...

That cable really doesn't look fit for purpose... The bare PCB on the side without the socket is also a bit risky since it's easy to install upside down and accidentally push 5V where it doesn't belong for some magic smoke action. With the boogery hot glue everywhere, I would be checking for the...

The 30" would need modifications to the bezel for sure (wasnt sure until I glanced at what a 2049 cab looked like). 27" with a wider bezel on top and bottom is probably more appropriate if you're OK with the smaller vertical screen space (you may not have a choice if you dont want to cut the...

I have a ULM26 on hand which I haven't used in a long time, but frankly I wouldn't recommend it anyways. Too expensive, and the low resolution, slow pixel response time, and unusual subpixel layout (it's RGB, but turned 90deg...) has a negative effect on image quality. The only benefits are it's...

Beware, the scaling for the ULM26 pro sucks and there is 1 extra frame of lag, assuming the monitor will be the same as in the Nova Blast. I would avoid Unico altogether if possible. They have a history of delivering faulty/damaged products an horrible customer service. There are design faults...

The cardboard spools don't work that well because of how light they are, which becomes a problem when the spool starts running low on filament. Cardboard spools are sometimes damaged from shipping since they are weaker than plastic, which is an issue since the AMS relies on the spool itself to...

I'm not a fan of eSun PLA. In my experince the filament tends get pretty brittle towards the last 25% of the roll and snap mid print. That usually happens with filament that has taken some moisture, but I live in Southern California, where humidity is pretty low, and this doesn't happen nearly...

There's a lot of variables, but generally I would say CPAP fans in printer setups tend to be pretty loud since they fan is relatively small and needs very high RPM to maintain static pressure. Maybe a hair dryer in comparable noise. From video footage it seems the whatever muffler/silencer...

https://ston-3d.com/ This printer has been tempting me so much... It has a pretty unique (afaik) motion setup and a fairly competitive price for the parts involved. Cartesian with a fixed bed. This is pretty interesting since it means much shorter belts vs CoreXY, but you still avoid the mass...

Pretty cool! I thought the website looked familiar for a while before I realized that I bought VR accessories from Mamut before a really long time ago (Quest 1!)

Ah I know Taipei reasonably well. In fact I'm currently in the area on vacation. I'm pretty sure the place you're talking about is HYPER GAMER in the eslite building, which sadly just closed last month according to their Facebook page. In Xinmen there's also Tom's World in the Wan Nian building...

Very nice. What part of Taiwan are you in? I usually visit Taipei about once a year, and I sadly don't see that many good retro games and arcade stuff there anymore.

Mine is also a 600x400mm bed with a 50w laser tube, but it's a no name brand of unknown origin. I can't complain too much since I got it for free from a friend. It's in a messy state since I started tinkering a bit, then basically put my life on hold for nearly ~1.5 years or so for career...
