Wargaming. It’s given me a social life. I’ve developed new skills like painting. It has side hobbies like 3d printing. Hopefully I can make it a career too. I’ve always dabbled with 3d software like Blender. Three months ago I took the leap to learning 3d sculpting with the plan to release my own designs for miniatures. I really wanna make my own Dark Elves for The Old World.
That’s sick! There are many fantasy ranges in 3d that imho are even better than GWs, and they are gonna explore im popularity with old world. Last Sword are my favorite, so much character.
I still get excited when I see a notification for Applied Science after several years. Breaking Taps doesn’t miss, either. They both do really interesting stuff.
If you want off-the-shelf, check out Will Prowse’s channel on yt, he explains in great detail the good and bad points of a lot of commercial batteries, inverters, panels, and updates his recommendations as new ones come out. It really depends on what your power needs are, but in general, today’s 48V server rack LiFePO4 batteries are pretty safe and easy to set up, don’t take up much room, can discharge even down to 0% for thousands of cycles, and can charge quickly.
The site I mostly end up back at for detailed technical information, bugs, updates, and DIY support is his forum, diysolarforum.com . There are a number of technical support employees from different solar vendors who have accounts there and occasionally respond to questions about their companies’ products, and there are forum rules to prevent them from marketing there. I’ve seen a few companies raked over the coals in those forums for poor phone or email support/response times, and some have even improved their support in response.
