	Yeah clear thanks

14:51:58 Von Pablo Fab Lab Leon an Alle:
	Replying to "For molding, 3d printed molds are fine in itself o...":
	From Assessment book: Can I 3D print the mold?
	Answer: Yes, you can 3D-print your mold if you can produce a smooth surface finish. FFF/FDM is not smooth enough, if you are using those you need to postprocess the surface.
	
14:52:35 Von henk an Alle:
	Replying to "I have a question: Can the global evaluator assess...":
	i start evaluation after the local has marked the week as done

for meshtastic: seeed now also have a nrf52+sx1261 combo that consumes way less than an esp32-S3. Better if you want to make a solar and/or battery powered project.
