Title: Charlatan - The Worm
Post by: Bio77 on July 18, 2022, 12:33:03 AM
Finished the Worm.  I had a bunch of hiccups but it finally worked out. 

The zebra effect on my graphic was not intentional, but I thought it looked okay.  My no-film transfers have been unreliable, lately.  I think they might have reformulated the glue.  Anybody else having issues?  I might just go full UV print from here on out.  Those things look perfect.

That looks pretty slick so it's a bit of a happy accident.

Looks Great John, another tight build. The graphics still look good but I feel you on the no film. Last time I bought more the paper itself was different as well. I think it also might start going bad the longer it sits but can't confirm it. For 6 dollars extra per enclosure it's not bad to do a UV print. Still a banging build!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220718/c4313367a6435fe653b9d066c6936677.jpg)

I'm still on my first bottle of glue but I frequently have problems with the toner jumping off in the water

Great job with the graphics there! I think the zebra effect looks good, but I get the disappointment. It almost has the look of a soil cross-section. 

Phenomenal job with the board and in the box! How're you finding the circuit?

Great build and the zebra looks are a happy accident indeed here. Fab.

It's a weird one for sure, but there's some good sounds in there.  I think the vibrato is my favorite, it has a small clone type metallic timbre to it, if that makes sense.  :P

I assumed you used a grungy font. It looks good, even if it isn't what you had in mind. The font plus the day-glo makes it look like  '90's design.

Thanks man. I took a bunch of elective photography in college, I feel like I dip into that with my compositions.

anyone tried with VTL5C3 instead of LED and LDR 9203?
