so relaxing to watch, well done!

[@bitdrive7971]

Thank you my man! I really do appreciate all the enthusiasm :)

[@KiwiKeebs]

Looks awesome dude and a really cool video to see the whole process!

[@bitdrive7971]

Thank you! Glad you liked it!

[@programador-visual]

geezus that's nice looking!

[@bitdrive7971]

Thank you so much!!!

I love exposed PCBs (especially black ones), just makes everything look so much better.

[@ezqzy]

I want to get the Mercutio 40 because i just love everything about it and it has that like windows to the pcb but i just don’t really know how to solder so 😢

[@q_u_a_c_c]

based opinion 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@bitdrive7971]

Truee

[@bitdrive7971]

Yeah the mercurito is pretty dope, was thinking of getting one myself but I don’t really need one rn so I’ll hold off

[@animanox1719]

damn i thought i was watching disguisedtoast for a second- great video btw!

[@bitdrive7971]

Hahaha, thank you so much!

[@leonardermel]

Love it! I wish I had a workshop like that to make similar stuff with wood. Definitely gonna bookmark this. My only critique of your video would be the glamour shots at the end; they are cut a little bit too fast for my taste, it feels a little hectic :D

[@bitdrive7971]

Haha thank you! You definitely should try with whatever tools you have. Yeah the glory shots are tricky since it has to match the beat of the music but that’s just how it goes :)

[@ginnayyyy]

omggg this is soo clean, pls, me want

[@bitdrive7971]

Hahaha thank you! I don’t think I’ll make more any time soon but I’m glad you like it!

[@Luci_71]

excellent video, if you end up swapping the switches i think black inks would be perfect to match the walnut

[@nashtravelandlifestyle]

Beautiful... doesn't other encoders come in the way when operating one of them?

[@ettercap_736]

Where do I throw my money to get a 3d file so I can print this for myself? Fantastic work!

[@scottmacwatters]

Adafruit makes a Macropad that would be cool to see classed up!

[@bitdrive7971]

I know which one you mean! I’ve considered it before but I might actually go through with it, we’ll see

[@vladimiercezar1802]

How was the rotary encoders on this? are they smooth to turn?

[@commandrogyne]

This is beautiful, i love how it turned out! Asking as a newbie- does removing the spacers from the pcb affect performance at all? Were they intended to help with cooling, or were they in place for other reasons?

[@bitdrive7971]

Not at all, they are just there to let the leds shine through. It would work without the bottom piece entirely

[@chaosordeal294]

OMG use wood glue.

[@anarchy6564]

Any plans to mod the adfruit rp2040 macropad?

[@bitdrive7971]

Not yet but I have actually considered that board for a future project… maybe some day :)

[@1186MFG]

Nice. How can I buy one…… ;)

[@bitdrive7971]

You can’t, not yet… :)

[@AlphaSphere]

How expensive ass, is expensive ass for that CNC machine?

[@bitdrive7971]

Like 20.000usd
