- 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?)
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've got voltage regulation.

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

- Finally, directed energy weapons for trans people.
- I'm a rather hairy man and I literally don't even want to imagine the pain of going through this hair-by-hair.
I also don't see the aesthetics behind it, but I guess that's the hetero guy speaking.
Is this something that M2F trans people typically do?
Is it really this expensive? OP mentions hundreds of thousands of dollars.

- I did not get all the transgender references in the comments but gemini found it without issues.
Nonetheless, great thing to have this. You can have a great default 'shave', can get rid of your ear hair, the hair on your toe nails.
I need this
- Step 2, put the needle on a gantry (I suspect you'd need more like 5D CNC to enter the pore with the right angle) and seek and destroy hairs... As it is it saves money but not time nor skill...
- Very good work. I will try and build my own from your instructions when I can afford to. Thank you so much for making this open.
- Well done. Next project DIY IPL for those hair bears amongst us?
- I am equal parts terrified and amazed by this. Well done, fantastic.
- This is very impressive... The temptation to build my own now...

That cracked me up!

- One thing eludes me... We have thousands of hair follicles, how is that supposed to work in a finite amount of time?

- Damn. This went from car battery style electrocution to custom PCB design unexpectedly quick.
Kudos, amazing design.
