Indonesians can buy the product here Hello guys today I will be reviewing a 3D printed mini SDVX controller, which costs about 39 USD (IDR 575.000).

Final Audio E500 Review

Introduction Back before 2022, your only option for a budget neutral IEM would be the Final Audio E500. Nowadays a lot of IEMs on the budget price bracket are tuned similarly.

Not fatiguing at all, can be used for long listening sessions Bullet style IEM, which is great for people not liking IEMs with earhooks Small nozzle (~5mm), makes it an easy fit for people with small ear canals Comes with 5 pairs of Final type E eartips (SS, S, M, L, LL)....

Trying out blender

In one of my previous posts, I decided to go on a game development journey. The model used for the spaceship was a model that I got from this site, which has low poly models from Poly by Google (Poly by Google was closed as of 30 June 2021, but the site I used has an archive). As I progressed on, I wanted to make my own 3D models because it might be a valuable skill, and I didn’t want to depend on free assets....
