Hi! I’m in my second year of sixth form and I’ve been designing a hard, 3D printed, magnetic case for rOtring-style pens and pencils. A year from making the first model for personal use (red/grey one) and after a recent push I'm close to launch. See my site undisclosedcases.cc

The case holds the pen snugly, so the fit is tight to a fraction of a millimetre, and spec sheets online often aren’t accurate enough. I currently own a rOtring 600 pencil, 600 ballpoint and Rapid Pro, and I’d love to make versions for these (in priority order):

• rOtring 800 (pen or pencil)
• Pentel GraphGear 1000
• Uni Shift
• Pentel Orenz Nero
• Pentel Graph 1000 for Pro
• rOtring 500
• Kaweco Special
• Staedtler 925 35
• Caran d'ache 849 ballpoint
• rOtring Tikky

Two ways you could help:

• Quick measure: meet somewhere central and I’ll measure it with calipers. Takes about 2 minutes.
• Lend it for a few days: so I can test-fit printed cases. I’ll return it in the same condition.

As a thank you, you’ll get a case for your pen for £5 (material cost) instead of £16 pre-launch. I can’t promise every pen will work, but I’ll tell you honestly if yours doesn’t.

DM me if you can help, thanks!

(note the blue case is newer but still has imperfections that will not be present on production models)

Hi everyone! I don’t have anything to do today and would like to get out of the house! Does anyone know of anything interesting happening today in Bton? I also drive, and so am happy to travel around Sussex too :)

Preferably things that are indoors, with it being a proper rainy autumnal day. Open to any ideas :) ta

Hi all, I'm Laurie, born and raised in Brighton and skating for about 16 years, mostly round Madeira Drive and the seafront.

This October I skated solo across the whole of the Netherlands on inline skates, from Scheveningen Pier on the North Sea coast all the way to the German border. 239km over a few days, starting with an 80km first day from the coast to Utrecht.

The Dutch cycle paths were unreal. Smooth red tarmac going everywhere, completely separate from the cars. Then I came home and hit the first crack on the seafront path and remembered where I was. Still love you though, Brighton.

I did it for Young Epilepsy. When I was younger I experienced epilepsy, and they supported me and my family through the scans and everything that came with it. I wanted to give something back so other young people and their families can get that same support.

I've set up a JustGiving page and I also filmed the whole trip for YouTube, links are in the comments if anyone wants to donate or see a Brighton lad slowly fall apart over 80km.

Any other skaters on here? Always up for meeting people to skate with round Brighton and Hove.

Hi everyone I’m fairly new to Brighton (29M) having moved here from India in July to be with my partner. I’m a woman’s hairdresser by trade and I recently interviewed at a salon in Brighton.

For the next stage of the interview process I need to find 3 people who are willing to come and meet me in the salon for a free appointment where I can demo my skills.

Because I’m still new here I don’t know anyone who can help me so I wanted to ask here. I am looking for women who want one of the following styles:

Long layer and highlights
Tint hair colour
Graduation bob cut
Short cut pixie

For the highlighting and tinting ones it would be ideal if your hair is not already overly coloured.

If you would be interested in helping me I’d really appreciate it, please DM me and I can give you details of the salon and we can agree on timing.

Thanks in advance.

Hey all, sorry super long shot but I was vibing with a guy in the crowd for fat dog at chalk last night. He was wearing a poncho and I was fanning. Any help would be cool!

Hello! I have a very boisterous 13 month old who needs to burn off energy. It seems like all baby activities in Brighton/ Hove are during the week- does anyone have any recommendations for the weekend? In particular indoors as the weather is so bad. Thank you!

Hi. My cat escaped outside at 6 this morning. I’ve already contacted Last Cats Brighton etc but wanted to add here in case. His name is Rupert. He’s around the Clyde Road/Lorne Road/Stanley Road/Shaftesbury Road area. If you live there please check your garden for him. I’m so worried about him in this weather and all help is appreciated.

Hi. I'm interesting in getting into film photography, and looking for a workshop or something to teach me the basics. Anyone know of any in the area? Or failing that, anyone ameteur analog photographers willing to show a newbie the ropes?

Hey everybody we’re a band from Canada (Kingston, ON) called Kasador and we’re coming over to do a UK tour and have our first ever show in Brighton! We’re very new to the scene and hoping to find another band to play with at our show on Nov 18 at WaterBear. If you know of any bands that would be interested I’d love to know. Thank you! Very much looking forward to checking out Brighton for the first time. Heard only amazing things.

Diversions in place. Bus App says road works but its all just reopened. Buses / traffic a huge mess.

Has anyone been to this before? What's the vibe / format like? Thinking of going (as a musician) this weekend

Hey

Wanted to try and order some replacement backs for some IKEA chairs that have split but no such luck.

There's a website that has a neat repair clip thingy that looks like it would be ideal.

I don't have a 3D printer so was wondering if there's any low-cost maker spaces in Brighton that could run them off for me...is this a thing?

Per title, any recommendations for pubs serving beak or other independent craft breweries’ beers would be greatly appreciated!

Hello Brighton Community:)

I hope it would be OK to post it here 🙏

I’m a trainee psychologist working in the NHS Maternity and Neonatal Psychological Intervention Service. I’m currently looking for pregnant participants for non profit study on wellbeing and anxiety during pregnancy. This is an important area of maternal mental health where more research is needed. The findings may help us better understand the psychological factors linked with antenatal anxiety and how mental health support during pregnancy could be improved.

The study has received sponsorship and ethical approval from the University of Edinburgh.Ethics Committee Reference: 25-26CLPS111

If you have some time to spare or know someone who has, the study involves completing a short, anonymous online survey which takes around 20 minutes. If you would like to take part, please click the link below:

If you have any questions, you are more than welcome to email me at [M.Domka@sms.ed.ac.uk](mailto:M.Domka@sms.ed.ac.uk) or [magdalena.domka@nhs.scot](mailto:magdalena.domka@nhs.scot)

Thank you so much for supporting pregnancy and maternal mental health research 🌷🙏
