To all Garrett AT MAX, AT PRO, AT GOLD owners (+ ACE ones)

Here’s a solution: take a dirt-cheap plastic remote control holder adapter and mount it on any shaft – whether that be the straight or S-shaped one, or a crutch, or even just a wooden stick.

Every house will have a 3D-printer in the future. It will be possible to print a new eye, to copy a car, to make a search coil cover. The latter is already being fulfilled, though, by those who have one foot in the future, you know… Here’s an illustrative example: a 3D-printed coil cover. Large manufacturers ought to be ashamed of themselves, oughtn’t they (or not)? Continue reading
