I have a 12V deep cycle gel battery, solar charger and 10w solar panel. works ok except battery only charges at 12.9 V as the solar panel only produces 600mA at 20V. if I supply 6A to controller it reaches 14.4v. I don’t want a bigger panel, will the battery be damaged if it’s charging at 12.9v ?

Mōrena all! Got some 1/300 BoB aircraft. Can’t be faffed to select individual paints. Vallejo do a BoB paint set but it’s for airbrush. Anyone ever applied airbrush paint with a normal brush? Obvs it’s thinner but with a white undercoat it might make the colour brighter which is better at 6mm scale.

Hi STL file gurus. If I buy an STL file with a personal license I guess I can’t ask a printing service to print it for me? I have seen a file pack with 21 ww2 plane types but I only need 4 types now. I want the pack as there are planes for other theatres I can use when I get a printer. Am I right?
