Yep, prob later on Sat or late sun for me. I have that new hotbed to
fit also in what is hoped to be the last step.

We have few badge kits left so would need components and those
suggested kits might be more interesting. Do you propose a whip round
to buy in kits/parts?

Cool aye - happy to kick in some filament for this. We need a bunch of
things that are useful/fun yet small enough to rapidly print (e.g.
Bitcoins, plectrums) Any 3D design aficionados want to whip up 57north
themed things? If we make flashy badges, we can 3D print the small
plastic disc switch that sits inside the CR3202 battery holder
(Callum, do you still have your design?)
