Not ip67 as far as I see and also doesn't seem to be (on)-off-(on)
Splash proof so....
Made a double din conversion for the Merc SLK dashboard as it only ever came with a poxy single din, and needs a better satnav screen etc.
Then, I scanned it in 3d, so I can make more. Along with the rest of the interior plastics. Stuff paying 300 quid for a fragile original clock surroud...
So I've told it now, if it breaks again, I'm finishing my large size 3d printer project quick and Ima just gonna print a new interior for it.
Now got to put it all back in after removing all the zillions of marker spots...

I was just going to seal the switch box with some black rtv or similar but I found some 1mm rubber at the workshop so decided to see how it would laser. Took a good lot of attempts to find decent settings but in the end I got there and made a gasket that works perfectly.

I used to get my lad to print replacement gaskets for Harting plugs in TPU.
Rotary idler motor wired in for the static converter. Idea from here: https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/turing-a-static-phase-converter-into-a-rotary.99115/
4kw Motor from Martin in the freebies, thanks again, and a few other bits and pieces as I didn't fancy altering the insides of the transwave.
Amazing how much faster everything spins up and seems to run a little smoother. Would be nice to get a measurement of current and volts at some point in the future

Made fire.
Contributed a good deal of brush and branches to our next-door neighbour's burn pile, which has become a semi-annual event for a few residents on our street. The photo below shows the initial 8-foot-high 'starter' pile of wood and brush, to which we added about three times that much wood and brush over the course of a few hours. The radiated heat was quite intense. Our neighbour had to obtain a burn permit from the fire department to make that big of a fire.

Made a start on the Stepper drive mounts for the Steve Ward rotary controllers:
Gave me a chance to try out my new pipe bullnose, it worked really well, only another six to do, then tackle the mounting plates:

Today I was caught flashing by the side of the road...
We sometime cross cows across a road to a neighbouring block and trafic ignores signs. I tried a flashign light with AA batteries but it was useless.
Temu's finest ciggie lighter powered flashing light (https://www.temu.com/goods.html?_bg_fs=1&goods_id=601100624400672&sku_id=17596627816882), a De Walt battery adapter to 12V output (https://www.temu.com/goods.html?_bg_fs=1&goods_id=601099532212279&sku_id=17592283465293) and a cigarette lighter socket and some solder joints and heat shrink.
I made a bracket out of RHS and light channel from the offcuts bin to sit on top of a metal post by the road with some leftover paint.
Works well and the light just lifts on and off the post.
