It's a shame he doesn't do many BOLTRs anymore. His output slowly petered out during COVID.
I think he got enough patreon types that he basically moved all his effort over there. He bought a CNC machine for the channel and then focused on the people who gave him the money for it.

It looks like it has countersunk screw holes, so that would usually be done on a CNC punch: http://www.vandf.co.uk/tooling/what-is-cnc-punching/ (amazing machines) It also looks powder-coated... when you consider their likely volumes $195 is not unreasonable once you take into account development costs, setup costs and overheads.
Not discounting the coolness of CNC punching whatsoever, but the reasonableness of $195 is way off, even if they are manufacturing in low volumes domestically. Parts like this should ideally be manufactured via stamping, which would also produce any countersinks needed. Even better would be to have them cut and bent in a progressive die (also a super cool manufacturing process!) and would have all cuts and features d…

Yeah but the manga version is 6.6GB
Okay, now I'm curious, link to the manga version?
You can find a list of series here: https://myanimelist.net/people/21441/Variety_Art_Works
Edit: This is the same series that includes mein kampf and capital, both which have had many panels screenshotted you can find around the net circulating (f.e. if you'we ever met a mangaised Marx, or some weird collection of nazi's illustrated they are quite common tropes)

> I'm not creative/musical/rich enough to justify buying an OP-1. If I ever was, though... Digitone/Digitakt/Syntakt are much better at high but still lower than OP-1 price while still being very playable On the entirely other side, Korg Volcas are pretty cheap and fun little devices, few other companies also make similarly priced and sized ones. And lastly, cheap midi keyboard and just software synths are cheapest o…
I think the Korg Minilogue xd is the best synth for the price. I also have several pocket operators, an Elektron Model:Samples (eh), and I’m borrowing my friend’s Volca Modular (which is pretty sweet).
Microfreak is kinda cool and almost half the price of that but it's keyboard is both advantage and disadvantage.
Yamaha's reface series is also kinda interesting.
I wish some company would just release a midi keyboard with some knobs, buttons and screens and rpi socket, I feel like a lot of cool stuff could happen if all of the effort was focused on one hardware platform. There are a bunch of "a rpi doing music things" out there but mostly incompatible with eachother...

No, Benn Jordan got into that a while back. It's not the listening part, it's the manufacturing that isn't 'green', though I'm not sure quite how the math works: for instance, whether they're counting the trucking of boxes of vinyl circles all over the place rather than just uploading bits locally. Some of that would apply to CDs, too, but CDs are about as relevant as vinyl records are.
> it's the manufacturing that isn't 'green' If this is really the case then it probably doesn't belong in this thread about a usb-powered (!!) "factory".
