    I have soooo many questions. Approximate hardware cost? Pain of needle? Pain of zap? How does the sensation of your machine compare to commerical applications? How long has it been since the first tests? Results from those tests? Is there some sensation that indicates having inserted to the proper depth? Is it an increase in resistance or an increase in pain? Have you used it anyhwere but the hand? Does the pain scale the same way everything else does (like the lip and chin hurt more than the arms?)<p>Full disclosure, I may or may not have caused some scarring having attempted to do this in a very rudimentary way with some 9volts when I thought that it was purely the heat from the electricity that we were after. This seems to be a vast improvement over the nightmare I came up with, even with the car battery as at least you&#x27;ve got voltage regulation.<p>&gt;this board contains one or more chemicals known to the state of california to cause feminization :3 :3 :3 :3<p>You are a legend and an inspiration.

    Hell yeah. I feel like if the world ended there would be a group of trans woman with a wind powered experimental estrogen generator inside of a week.

      I mean, it&#x27;s just a fancy hydrocarbon, and in some form or another can be extracted from female mammal urine.<p>I imagine there&#x27;s a way to genetically alter yeasts to make estrobeer while they&#x27;re at it, with the side benefit that the alcohol would serve as a natural testosterone reducer for a double d whammy.

    Excellent hack, lovely write up. Learned about Embassy, which I didn&#x27;t know yet. Thank you!

    @y1n0 any chance that I can get in contact with you to help build my own?<p>I&#x27;m already up to several thousand in spend doing it the traditional way (which has been very helpful!) but it&#x27;s not sustainable even on an upcoming big-tech salary.<p>thanks &lt;3 hazel

      In general, experimenting at home with these kinds of light intensities is NOT a good idea. Way too much risk of accidental eye damage.

    Very cool! How can I order one?

      Tindie is great for this type of stuff, if OP needs a platform. Though my experience is only as a buyer.<p>That said, if you have a 3D printer these days the process of ordering a board with full PCBA from PCBWay&#x2F;JLCPCB&#x2F;Aisler and printing the case yourself is pretty easy.

    This is very impressive... The temptation to build my own now...

          Yep! I don’t comment unless I have something useful to add to the conversation.

            Self-evidently untrue.

              Nah, calling out morons and assholes is always useful
