Description

Saw the OSES on thingiverse https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7215332 . Looks like a good project for me and one of my boys to build. Noticed in the Instructions some details missing I plan to document my build and fill in the missing pieces as we go

Ali Express is Terrrible

Oh my Goodness its been a while since I have placed an order on AliExpress and what a joke.
People of Taiwan dont worry about china invading if the quality of the Aliexpress shopping site is anything to go by they will never make it to you.
If the item matches the description your off to a good start. things will mysteriously vanish from your cart - items WILL change. and the price at check out WILL be different to what the cart says it is AFTER you approve the purchase. What an Absolutely abysmal experience.
So after waiting a few weeks for stuff to arrive I have most of what I ordered and payed some amount of money for it and have no idea what I actually ordered and what the price of individual items is.
