Welcome to /diy/, a place to:Post and discuss /diy/ projects, ask questions regarding /diy/ topics and exchange ideas and techniques.Please keep in mind:- This is a SFW board. No fleshlights or other sex toys.- No weapons. That goes to /k/ - Weapons. The workmanship and techniques involved in creating objects which could be used as weapons or the portion of a weapons project that involves them (e.g., forging steel for a blade, machining for gunsmithing, what epoxy can I use to fix my bow) may be discussed in /diy/, but discussing weapon-specific techniques/designs or the actual use of weapons is disallowed. Things such as fixed blade knives or axes are considered tools, things such as swords, guns or explosives are considered weapons.- No drugs or drug paraphernalia (See Global Rule 1). If you want to discuss something that could involve such things (e.g., carving a tobacco pipe from wood) that's fine, but make sure it's /diy/ related and doesn't involve drugs or it will result in deletion/ban.Helpful links:https://sites.google.com/site/diyelmo/ (archived)http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/
Some friendly suggestions for posting:- First ask Google, then ask /diy/. Your question will probably be better received if you do so.- List available resources (tools, materials, budget, time, etc.)- Try to use pictures and explain the goal, if possible- Be patient, this is a slow board; your thread will be around for days.- Share your results! /diy/ loves to see problems solved and projects completed!

redpill me on qidi? I'm a printlet, never heard of them before but now that I'm researching what printer to buy they seem like good value
>3d printing sloptuber>barely knows how to operate printer or slicer despite larping as an authority on them for years>absolute dogshit quality prints>pla and petg is all you ever need faggotrywhy so many such cases?
>>2966758Check Z offset, also check plate, maybe it's has some gunk on it, so cleaning required, also it can happen due to warping, look if it's not curling while you print, keep higher bed temp, if PLA set it to 50 - 60 C, for PETG 70 - 80, for ABS you can't get away with less than 100, 90 sometimes OK, if you have enclosure, but generally 100 - 110 for ABS/ASA. If you printing in some non heated workshop, or somewhere where cold air gusts happen, this shit can ruin your print, so heated bed is in my opinion mandatory and enclosure recommended whatever material you print. But fiirst check how layers go.
>>2966890Old PETG, have same problem with it. So I just printing everything with it, everything not pretty but functional, just to be done with that and put in something fresh.
>>2967015>why so many such cases?Because you give them views.
bolting two 80x200to frames to make a 160x200 bed frame is cool right?Or do I have to buy 160x200 bed frame?
>>2967016Actually, you need to buy a 320x200 bed frame and cut it in half.
I'll start - pissing in the parking lot is free.
>>2966833went to a gas station today for road beer and saw a giant line at the lotto stationapparently the nationwide lotto is up to 1.5B or something so all these sad saps on christmas eve are wasting their money on ticketsthey'd be better off spending their weekly gambling money on some investing. they'd actuall come aheadactual idiot taxit's sadi thought it might just be a wholeosme christmas eve activity but apparently it's just smhucks
>>2966957>wastingYou don't understand lotteries.
>>2966958explain non-jew
>>2966957> 1.5 billionI wonder what the incentivization threshold is for the lotto people to just rig/scam/steal it???
>>2966957Meh. I never buy lottery tickets or gamble in any way and even I thought about getting a few tickets on the drive home from my inlaws last night. Had my wife look it up on her phone though and the drawing had already been done. i think she said there were no known winners so the next jackpot will be even bigger. Then we both started talking about what we would even do with all that money... its such an asinine amount.
Do friends and family take advantage of you for your /diy/ skills? How do you politely say you want payment or just tell them to hire someone?
I'll help them through a simple job if I feel like they can actually take it to heart and do it themselves next time. I'll do anything my old man asks of me though, he's too old to b climbing ladders and fucking with electrical shit though.
>>2966402I tell them I don’t have time, and then they offer to pay me.
I Replaced a bunch of lightbulbs for my aunt the other day and didn't even do it right and she still insisted she pay me. I said she didn't have to. I asked for $50. Despite what i keep seeing ive never had an issue with people paying me for work or trying tobtalk me down in price. I charge $75 an hour for side work for reference.
My mom is a mail carrier and asks me to change the oil in her jeep every 3-5k miles with full synthetic. She goes ahead and buys the oil and filter so I just skip the 5k change and tell her every other change that I'll buy the stuff to do it
>>2967004Why don't you just tell her that 8k miles is ok?

>>2966970That's OCD.
>>2966970Picrel you posted is made by some artschool faggot with OCD. What he makes doesn't even work, it's just a bunch of chips and wires.If he was less of a fag and more of an autist, he'd make something that looks that way, and also actually works. Just cobble something together with logic IC's and counters and LEDs or some other basic fuck-fuck shit anyone can make

Hello Everyone,My wife and I have decided to build a village little by little every Christmas (only two homes so far). I was hoping people would have suggestions on what we should build besides the homes and carts we buy (hills, roads, lake/rivers, etc) so that it can look nice and, hopefully, be easy to store. If this belongs in a different board please let me know
>>2961344growing up we had my O gauge train track screwed into a half sheet of plywood and for Christmas we would pull it out of the garage and put the tree stand in the middle of it then build a village around the tree skirt and the train tracks, then I would see if I could get the train to go fast enough to skip the tracks on a corner and crash into villager figurinesgood times, get a train
>>2961344If your base is not already very easy to lift I'd ensure you can hang the base and box the buildings in a divided box you can build to your preference. The easier your layout is to move and store the longer you'll enjoy it.Model railroaders have a vast variety of cook ways to make and mod things you can get ideas from.If you add a vertical back that permits more scenery and can make the assembly stiffer and box-like.
>>2961344It'd be neat if you added replicas of unique buildings or structures from your city/state, and then sprinkle snow on them. My great aunt lives in St. Louis, so obviously the Gateway Arch would be suitable.
>>2961344>Diversity free village Dreamy.
>>2961588OP here, yes my wife is actually trans, why? Do you have a problem with that? She's no less a woman than your mother and I love her very much. Trans rights actually really fucking matter to me so I apologize for coming off as combative but I've noticed folks on this site can be very cruel. Whether intentional or not I need to make it clear this is a trans positive thread and I won't tolerate transphobia.
Has anyone successfully made a doppler radar for measuring bullet speeds using hb100?
I guess, the only way is to know is to try and make it.>>2959892code is provided by manufacturers...What problem here is, is it capable in reading signals reflecting off of such small object?
I remember reading somewhere of somebody making a bullet speed device by using 4 sheets of aluminum foil and a device that can measure the voltage or maybe it was ohms.So 2 sets of aluminum foil sheet; each set a distance apart and noted, and each set has the aluminum foil sheets like .125" away from each other.When the bullet hits the first set of aluminum foil there is now voltage passing from sheet 1 to sheet 2.And a few milliseconds or whatever the same exact thing happens to the second set of sheets.A little math happens using the recorded time and the known distance between the sheets and you have your speed.The sheets can usually be fired at several times before they disintegrate, and calibration is done by having both sets of sheets as close as possible and recording the offset.
Yes, can be easily done...have a high frequency square wave source, have pulse counter that has a trigger for starting the count and stopping it and connect those triggers to the plates and count pulses.by that point, i'd rather use stereo recording-PC sound card and place mic at muzzle and other at target
found it.
>>2967008obviously needs mods (change the oscillator with the trigger part, add more digit and speed calc will still be manual (unless you use microcontroller)

How do you guys store your water?I have crates of 1/2 gallon glass milk jugs. I use them to collect spring water. Looking for something more practical. Don't want any plastic. Maybe steel?
>>2939938>building an outdoor weather + air quality stationAny tips or guide for this? I have ESP32 boards and some vape batteries, just need advice regarding the actual weather station side of things.
>>2951449What's the alternative type of heating?
>>2966047Temp + humidity + wind speed sensors, maybe rain sensor.>>2966049Heat pump.
>>2966722Heat pumps are easily one of the greatest inventions of all time. Instead of wasting energy to make heat, we use far less energy to move ambient heat to where we want it.
>>2966230so don't live in one. problem solved.
All downstream of turning housing from shelter into speculation. Everyone wants to flip their house for more than they paid, everyone want to profit off some sucker, so ease of reselling is paramount.My boomer boss was bragging about his equity in his two homes and how his tenants paid off his mortgage etc.
>>2965962I guess this is the home design/decor thread. How the fuck do I design my apartment? It’s not a studio it has walls a bedroom a separate kitchen but it’s 400 square feet. It used to be a hotel once upon a time someone bought the building and converted the units. I have a lot of free range for upgrading, can paint walls etc it just has to look good.Do I just go with a white and get brown walnut furniture? It has white tile. I was contemplating getting that fake snap in place wood flooring for everything except the bathroom and kitchen. I’m not trying to do anything over the top just make this place feel like my homeWhat wood color for the floors?If I can get this done, the paint and floors to match it I could more easily get furniture that looks good. It’s currently got the landlord special with this nasty blue paint on every wall. I’m thinking white because if I don’t like it then that’s easy enough to decide on a new color and paint over
>>2965962soulless
>>2965962i like it everything looks well proportioned i don't hate grey it pleases my autism idk why people hate minimalism not that this one is minimalist a persian busy decor would be nuts
Why didn't/haven't rear handle circular saws catch on outside of North America? This isn't to argue that they're better or worse, but clearly, a lot of carpenters in North America see advantages, but they're virtually unknown outside of it. Why?
I've used all manner of circular saws and one thing I can say for sure about these worm drive saws is that they're fucking heavy and annoying to swing around. It also seems to me that it's more of a west coast thing. Framers here one the east coast and using cordless sidewinders.
The circular saw question had been SOLVED. Picrelyou are a weak bitch. best coasters win again. many such cases!
>>2966685mexicans on the exterior of the house do that shit, not me. the only material i will work with other than wood is azek for exterior applications.
>>2961865>track saw, miter saw, table sawThose are all circular saws. I knew a builder that pretty much used a couple of circ saws combined with his jigs for everything.
>>2962056Bonnet for your miter saw?
What should I use for diy kitchen backing that's better than this peal and stick shit that's all over amazon? Hopefully some product exists that I'm missing that's easier than all the youtube tile suggestions involving stripping the paint and using grout/adhesives and leveling nightmares too. I've never tiled a kitchen backing but I'm sick of mine and all these seem like they fall off people's walls in a week and look like rotten ass irl compared to the sales pics.
>>2966481Or get a cheap pump from Amazon and a bucket from Harbor Freight.OP, I did my outdoor kitchen without knowing much about wall tiling, but if I were to have something done differently it would be to get a nice stacked manufactured stone and some Locktite construction adhesive (Seka sags too much and versabond is a pain if you're just starting out. Just be aware that when it dries, construction adhesive will stay for the long haul so if you plan on removing it later I suggest fastening some wire mesh to give the glue something to stick to and keep you from removing the drywall when it's time to remodel again.Hard to say what you should do with little context like budget or how your house looks, but since I am a cheapskate, I just got a cheap square and got good with mitering and coping with an angle grinder I borrowed from a buddy. Or you can get manufactured stone corners.
>>2966365I guess if you're a cheap fuck with no actual DIY skills the peel and stick will work. Just know in your own fucked up mind that it's not real tile and just cheap flammable plastic. If that makes you feel good at night with your fake as fuck tiles then so be it. We now all know you don't have the skills to do it properly so maybe you should get the fuck out of /DIY then since you are too retarded to be here in the first place.
>>2966366>fire resistant >lacquerOMG FLMAO
>>2966365Just do the backsplash the right way and learn. I got a 7” wet tile saw for <$100, plus some diamond blades for the angle grinder and it’s nice to be able to do tile myself.Protip- if the corner of the wall is uneven and you need to mud it and shit before putting primer + tile up, make sure the mud is 100% dry otherwise you will set yourself back another 2-3 days like my dumbass.
>>2966997It turned out at least as good as an alcoholic mexican tile guy would’ve done
Stupid questions that don't deserve their own thread. Last one hit bump limit
>>2965082Zoomer here. I am mostly doing 3D printing as for DIY stuff. I have printed many parts for my friends and relatives, and even did a few simple designs on my own, but I kinda noticed that I changed over time and 3D printing / CAD design might not be entirely for me, so I though about getting into old fashioned way of DIYing stuff. I always wanted to be able to make my own parts out of tougher materials, like steel, aluminium, bakelite, maybe some hard wood, but I am kinda clueless in terms of how cutting and fitting this stuff together works. Can any of you DIYGODS give me a hint on where should I start? Are there any decent books about that? How much can I realistically do while living in a commieblock? Thanks in advance to everyone!
>>2966896Mostly you learn by doing...
>>2966896Go watch a ton of youtube videos for inspiration.Even channels like "how it's made"look for topics such as: machining, welding, epoxy composites, plastic injection molding, metal casting, brazing, adhesivesLook into woodworking to see how parts fit together.Desktop CNC machining may interest you if you come from a 3d printing background. You can reasonably expect to cut bakelite, phenolic, wood, maybe aluminum. Steel is difficult, very slow and challenging.
>>2966929>>2966969Thanks, guys! I guess I will start with some small, simple project soon then. Generally speaking I would like to avoid using CNC and similar machines, since over time I kinda lost the urge to tinker with computers and realised that most people responsible for software kinda hates guys like me, so yeah, I will probably have to stick to old fashioned ways. I have a few projects that involve construction steel, but they can wait until I get some experience I guess.
>>2966523Hey bby sorry for the late replyThey’re straight. But I still feel like the Jappo drivers are better for Jappo stuff because of the goofy JIS thing that people claim doesn’t exist. All I know is on the Yamaha and Honda here, the Vessels fit best, but the Wiha and Klein fit better on anything non-Japanese.Those wood handle drivers actually do decent when covered with grease and oil. The ballgrip Vessels are one of my favorite handles.I would go Wiha or Felo as my main nice set unless I worked in a Honda dealer.
Last Threads: https://warosu.org/diy/?task=search2&search_username=artbyrobotTo begin: the project goal: I am working to make a series of humanoid robots. I am using a Biblical theme of naming the first 3 robots I make Adam, Eve, and Abel. The goal is for these robots to have human body inspired musculoskeletal systems, advanced AI, and that they look human and pass for human to a casual observer at least at a distance. They must be able to walk, talk, run, dance, do sports, do chores, manufacture products, and make more robots just like themselves if not even better. My aim is to build a single robot arm and head and then add sufficiently advanced AI to that arm and head to enable it to build the rest of its own body for me. This way I am delegating the work of building the majority of my first humanoid robot to that robot rather than doing that work myself - and this is to save me time.In a like manner, my goal with the AI is to code just enough AI that the AI can begin coding itself and this way I don't have to code most of the AI myself because it will self create itself. I liken this to building a seed and that seed growing into a tree because for me to code that tree would take too long for me and just creating the seed would then save me time.
>>2966961No I rejected this theory at the time and explained the reason why I rejected it. It did plant a small seed of doubt though which later grew tremendously as I saw how tiny the contact point was through such a small piece of tape and thought to myself how is so much heat gonna make this jump and through such a tiny surface area etc I just don't fully buy it. I give say 15% credit to that post though.
>>2966962Cope. Every anon here knows your design and its shortcomings better than you do.
>>2966961plus if that post fully convinced me then why is it I cut the solder wick braids in half? Which proves I was still confident enough in it until further exploring broke the confidence.
>>2966764>So no, there is no longer a significant antenna at all.nigga you just doubled the antenna
This is how SMT prototyping is typically done. You may find this technique useful.

>>2966861yeah and they also chucked them in the m4050
I suppose all they had to do was make a new crank, cam and bock and they could use everything else from they twenty something horse power three cylinder.
