Notice anything different about the community today? - April Fools!

JoRatcliffe 4 months ago

We are were now known as element13!

element13 Certified

Joined the group of element13 insiders for the metallic redesign in 2026!

Aluminium is the 13^th element, so I hope you are ready for a ductile, malleable and highly conductive day. In the same spirit, we have given ourselves a suitably shiny, metallic new look

Leave a comment below and share your thoughts:

Was there a memorable project you brought to life using aluminium?
Do you have a favourite aluminium can?
Do we have any metal music fans on the community? Black Sabbath, Metallica, Iron Maiden, or other bands?

Plus, in the spirit of our rebrand, an extremely important RoadTest has just opened for enrolment for a highly innovative new product on the market…

Road Test - element13 Foil Headwave aTtenuator Dev Kit
Engineers needed to review the element13 Foil Headwave Aluminium aTtenuator DevKit

Sign me up also. Badges are like stickers - you can't have too many.

So, do we have to request a manual award?

There's kinda a 'bug' in how some achievements are awarded, especially ones that are "login on a set date" - because if you're already logged in, it doesn't trigger getting the achievement. That can happen with achievements such as this one.

Though that doesn't prevent us from awarding it manually.

How do I get the achievement? I commented, likes, enrolled in the roadtest all in due time. But I cannot see this badge in my achievements. cstanton JoRatcliffe

I really liked the Wireless Power Transfer technology through the shoe

to get the spectacle frames to light up

to match the e14 logo

Nice touch

I haven't seen any of those small T-OLEDs in more than one color. The T-LCDs seem pretty dim. I've never tried either type.

Indeed, along with the slight 3D glow to it.

Hence why I was thinking if you laser engraved then poured in some translucent resin with LEDs set into it, you could get a similar effect even when scaled down.

You get small transparent OLED displays but not sure they would quite give the same result.
