No.
It is my cunning plan.
If I told you it would be our cunning plan.
Not mine.
But, it does mean me rummaging in another shed to help out Mr @Chillitt

Quite simply the best calculator on the planet...if it was the 1980s .
It's mint condition too...I don't get on with the new ones. For example if I want to calculate 10 squared my brain expects to type 10 and then press the squared button...the modern stuff expects the opposite which makes no sense to me!
I used to have one very similar but mine didn't have the hard case...it really is mint....I trashed mine back in the day!

How much did you pay for that, it’s mint

Paid £12 which I think is a bargain...it really is mint....it's like nobody has ever pressed the buttons...I'm guessing the hard case has really preserved it.
I used to have a similar one as a kid...then they changed the way you type in the calculations and I've just never got on with modern calculators since.
I'll actually be using it as my main calculator...I got so feuds with my current one that I never use it and tend to use excel instead!

They also do a materials calculator. Also very handy
Gonna have to buy them again as they appear to have disappeared from my account.
And you hit the functions after the number.

Definitely the way it should be...I just don't understand why anyone would switch it round....in my mind I'm applying the function to the number on the screen....and being able to do calculations and apply functions as you go is definitely easier for me.

That's a great gesture. How did it come about that you ended up printing stuff for NHS?

Got a friend who's a Doc on the ICU and she was asking if I knew where she could get some PPE, we had a raid of the stores at work and dropped loads of goggles, safety glasses etc off to them, but she said they need visors too, you can't buy them anywhere so I thought I'd start making them, loads of people all over the world are doing it at the moment. There's facebook groups with details of the designs etc, I'm small fry, some guys have big 3D printers and can knock out 5 at a time, I can only do 1.
Theres other designs using sheet and either routing it out or laser cutting it, those guys are knocking out close to 300 units per day, but they're all starting to struggle with materials. Mine isn't too bad, a reel of PLA will do 60 masks, then I need some elastic and some A4 OHP Transparency, luckily loads of people in our village have stacks of it in cupboards and are donating it.
I'm amazed how good this printer is, it's really nicely made too, very solid, and it was only £155, completely nuts how it's possible to make it for that!
Now I just need to learn how to do 3D CAD
