Is there anyway how to get Solidworks for free? Solid Edge has free license for hobbyists but I would like Solidworks since its more popular. I dont want to pirate it unless its only option.
>>2786243> If they find out you made any money using the programLot of heavy lifting being done by the word "if" here. That being said a license isn't very expensive if actually you're making money via solidworks.
>>2785897>>2785978>>2786078dassault systems releases cracks and keygens for their own products on many torrent sites and then the telemetry in their software will let them pull enough information from your computer to determine if you are a business or employee or not. If you are or ever do work for someone, they will note down every file you touch and just wait until you rack up about a million bucks in damages before they reach out to you with a lawsuit. Depending on the situation, they just force you to buy a real license, but its always at their discretion. this happened to me at my work btw. employee was running windows 7 and it was eol and time to upgrade, they were not paying the $1000 a year grift so their license key was useless unless they paid $5000 in back fees for all the license maintenance they didnt pay. I decided fuck it and cracked it and 3 years later they made us buy a new license or they were going to sue us.
>>2787299I meant to addif you do crack their software, either run it in a vm or run it on a dedicated laptop and keep it offline or on a vpn. you are generally safe as a hobbyist, but their telemetry is invasive and really you should not be okay with that.
>>2785913Shut up faggot. Web based cloudshit is bottom of the barrel and HTML5 and javascript have been forced to do so much shit (poorly) and so much of your information is scraped you should avoid it like the plague.
>>2785913Webapps are trash, kid
I am moving up north soon where everything is 3x as expensive. My new house has a large garage though, and I'd like to have a workshop. I just don't know what I should buy before I go to save money.
>>2783895Good work! Been turning for a couple of years myself. Might be worth investing in a sharpening system for your chisels if you really get into it. Try to press the end of the gouge handle against your side for extra support, it reduces the chance of catches.
My new property has an old shed I want to demolish. This will yield me some nice 4x4” beams and a load of 2x4”/2x2” but it’s all painted blue.I was thinking would it work if I get a cheap planer and run them through to remove the paint or will that clog up and ruin the planer. Of course they would be smaller but that’s okay.A cheap planer is €250, renting one is maybe €40 but more expensive if I gunk it up with old layers of paint. An old heavy 3 phase table planer is €400 but they are big and I’m not sure if I’ll use it much. What do?
>>2787131Have them checked for lead first.
>>2787306They are old but not lead-old, the structure can’t be built before 2004. Pretty recent for a shed now that I think of it but its just flimsy and wasn’t maintained
>>2787329Depending on what you can get, using a chemical paint stripper or a heat gun to get most of the paint off first is a better idea. If it's that cheap and flimsy I have to wonder if it's construction grade trash wood though.
Are there people who unironically believe DeWalt or Milwaukee to be on par with or even better than Makita, or is that just poorfag cope? No shame if they're outside your budget, they're not cheap, but that doesn't make the tools better
>>2785697I’m liking that bit holder. Be nice if dewalt had something like that. Plus, it’s a double-ender.It’s clear dewalt has always been copying Jomi, but Jomi is still ahead of the game.
>>2785697The jomi is 21 V, the dewalt is only 20 V. It’s just that much better. Just like dewalt copied the Jomi color scheme, I’m sure they will be bringing out a 21 V model soon. Well, as soon as they can get their voltage up.
>>2782076Trouble is I already own those corded tools from DeWalt and a few others so I don't feel it necessary to reinvent something. If you have a cordless tool then you need some place to recharge it that automatically screws your workflow.
>>2787247I'd argue constantly having to deal with cords screws with my workflow a lot more than having to swap batteries once in a while.
>>2787247>>2787307Sometimes you need both. Been doing alot of work with angle grinders recently;I need the battery one because im not going to run extension cables all the way across my yard. Corded is good in the shop because it never runs out of juice, but the cord has gotten quite chewed up from accidental contact, and the outlet prongs on it are ready to fall off from accidentally pulling it out of the outlet at awkward angles.Much prefer working with the cordless, just not suitible for all jobs because it kills the batts so fast.

What type of connector has a 1mm diameter pin?I want to be able to connect these things with a female socket of some kind. The pin pitch doesnt have to match this (10mm), I'll just use two single sockets.But none of the socket types I know of accept 1mm pins.
>>2786965Amphenol sc000146
>>2787100definately not ideal, also a little difficult to obtain, but thanks for the suggestion.Is there even a way to search by pin diameter? Any time i try i get 1mm pitch results instead.

Do pumps create flow or do they create pressure?
>>2787199This is bullshit. Everyone knows that all pumps create positive, metric pressure. There is no way they ever create imperial flow. Retards. I swear.
>>2786877My clunching applies pressure to my liquid shit which then flows into your throat whose resistance turns flow into pressure.
>>2787074Well I didn’t want to single anyone out.

The design for this thing is so compelling, but most of it is a gaming thing. What features would you have built into it for doing real things with it while having your hands free?Things I can think of (besides radio, mp3, clock, messaging, etc):- Network monitoring: ping when some device just signed in to the home wifi (people are back home)- Scanning for wifi fransmitters (bugs)- tracking GPS - mesh network
>>2787144>bulky as shit, basically can't use that arm for anything useful>probably rather heavy as well, further hindering the use of that arm>large knobs that are sure to catch on stuff and activate random functions as you walk around>useless inventory featurePDAs were better.

>>2787223In series like 2. But it’s also coming through the voltage pin, so that alone isn’t going to save you. Keeping the power supplies seperate and using the internal 5V regulator for the H bridge is probably the way to go. The only wires between the arduino and the H bridge should be ground, and signal wires with series resistors. Note that resistors might cause issues depending on the L298N’s input stage.
>>2787223I could only get L298N to slow down by setting the PWM to an unpleasantly low frequency (100Hz). The other motor drivers I've tried are much better in that respect. But for whatever reason L298N is still the first one in the curriculum.
>>2779471I used mythtv since 05 or so, now emby. The heat output from SSD is or was lower, and latency or jitter is more predictable which might be important. Also loud music bass will not disrupt a SSD.
>>2787297yes, i will use the jumper on the module to provide 5v and power the arduino with an external buck regulator.>L298N's input stagei am not familiar with this, could you elaborate?>>2787302I am using this at full speed currently, just switching directions
>>2787320If the 30 or 100 uA across the resistor drops the GPIO's voltage below 2.3V it won't work according to the data sheet.
This is a project to build rural villages out of spare resources and volunteer labor. They function as open art colonies, music venues, public workshops, gathering places, community gardens, places of free education, and whatever other purpose each village decides. Like the parable of rock soup, each place, and this project, is started from nothing, and comes together as collaborators offer what they can give freely.Carpenters, musicians, farmhands, architects, sculptors, etc…anyone with expertise, as well as resources: spare wood, tools, electrical equipment, art supplies…all are welcome ingredients in every stew. The biggest hurdle is for someone to contribute a plot of land, for if all of this comes pro bono, then a village for all, a canvas of experience, a modern day forum, can come together without the handling of money corrupting the core concept…I am currently somewhere similar and it has all that life needs, and it is very free. All that I can think about while I’m here is that there must be more places like this. All of the people love it here because it is not about money, but it is neither about ideology. It is just a place that people are allowed to be human beings.Every village created with this project can be completely unique, yet each shares the trait in that it is like an open home, and with that comes the law of respect and common sense. The rest can be solved on a case by case basis (see: common sense). A blend of artists and people that actually know how to make things…this creates a good ambiance with as well the productivity. Those who don’t know what they are can help around and find out.In essence, it is a DIY life, but with the common goal of a place for the people emerging out of all of the pieces that are contributed…the soup emerging from the ingredients brought by all the neighbors.

I poop on this incel site. You should all stop reading David Foster Wallace and live a little. It is sad that this conversation is a dead end. I am staring at the sea and breathing fresh air and surrounded by interesting people and enjoying beautiful music and I’m dreaming of the future. I come here as a stranger and offer a gift, but there is no one here to accept it. It was a gift for all of you to grow out of this darkness and apply your intelligence for good. To learn how to feel, how to create. This site does not teach free thinking. It teaches only deconstructionist thought. There is no philosophy. There is no beautyXZThere is no life here.I wish I had the means to create a platform for beauty. It would have a fantastic ambiance and evolve each day, becoming wiser and more comfortable.I don’t have the means, I have to focus on the beauty that’s around me. It’s too bad. People who are isolated will suffer so much because they don’t have the right sort of outlet. They don’t have a place they can grow. A place where they can love.Please, if you’re reading this, think of that place. Dream of that place. It’s possible that destiny is for others to continue where I left off.I have my music, that’s all I need to spread this message.Ok, I am lying. I will create that platform, but it’s better if there are many ways to think about beauty, I think. A biodiversity of thought makes a beautiful garden. You will remember this post someday. You will see that what I am talking about is life-giving. It will make people happy.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

Wait, is there any reason to use a Pliers Wrench over a Cobra with these things on them? Because now the Cobra is non-marring too?
>>2787212The pliers wrench is made to replace an adjustable wrench for hex fittings and shit. The pliers wrench should grip those better than the cobras, especially the plastic cobras. Cobras are for grabbing round and other irregular shapes, plus hex in a pinch if you don’t mind the jaws digging the fuck into it.

I'm having a hard time finding information on cement roof sheathing. Is this just not done in the US? I'm trying to sheath my roof with cement boards, and then put a metal roof over that using adhesive. Cant find shit for information.
>>2787197Youre a fucking dolt
>>2787227he probably just happens to have a large stackof it
>>2787197It's called roof decking, not roof sheathing. That's why you're having a hard time finding results.Google it.Also, unless you just happen to have a bunch of this shit laying around, why would you want to use it? AFAIK it's not at all common in the US except for when it's used over another solid decking like steel when intended as a base for membrane systems etc.I'm pretty sure that if you used it like the plywood in your pic related, you wouldn't be able to walk on it.
>>2787244>ah yes use water resistant plywood goy please buy it, $130 a sheetvs >buy fiberglass and fine wire mesh for almost nothing>form massive 16ft by 4ft sheets >tip them up onto the roof>panel goes from peak to eve, minimizing leaks>>2787249i want to glue it down to the cement sheets and ideally poke minimal holes into the metal, which are just avenues for leaking
>>2787197USG makes cement sheathing
I've had a mouse get into the apartment via an old-school radiator on a wooden floor, and so I'd like to block the area up in this one particular spot. Pic related is a good idea of the worksite. I have the idea to get a metal plate, cut a circular hole with tin snips or similar, and then adhere the plate to the wood (in two cut sections). I am soliciting general technique tips. Haven't had the actual problem for a while but I want the hole plugged up anyway as a further deterrent.Is the general idea sound? What's a good adhesive to stick a metal plate onto wood? Is there a preferred metal relative to a certain glue? How can I go about cutting/stamping the plate and getting the hole right? The tin snips I have on hand would produce a crude cut on an appropriately thick material, I think.

>>2786957One thing to be aware of with polyurethane spray foam: when it burns it creates cyanide gas. They do make fire resistant versions but it just slows the reaction, the gas will still be produced. Steel wool on the other hand is nontoxic. Just something to keep in mind especially for attics and other overhead spaces where fire and gases can spread rapidly.
>>2786869kek are the pipes that blown out?yknow it reminds me of this early 90s building i lived in, the neighbor upstairs dropped a used qtip on the floor like the subhuman trashman he is (a lawyer who rides around on a piaggio mp3 and picks up anything he sees next to a dumpster), it fell next to the radiator pipe, through the opening and got stuck hanging from OUR ceilingthey just didn't give so much of a shit but with some basic bitch plaster it would have been closed perfectly on the ceiling within 10 seconds too bad I was 11 when we moved outwas a comfy as fuck place otherwise
>>2786928I put a tiny bit down there (and I patched another hole this way, really corked that one up good, it was the mouse's main hole but I understand that steel wool can catch fire and the main pipe can get quite hot in winter so I won't be doing any more of that. While we're at it I wouldn't mind fishing out the bit that's down there, need some sort of grabber.I think I will avoid the stuff that has cyanide byproduct, thanks. All I really want is an aesthetic closure of the hole, these guys >>2786978 >>2787015 get it. Will look into a pipe collar.

Disclaimer: i’m not planning to do anything of this. I don’t suggest trying any of this stuff without proper guidance ,knowledge and preventive measures. Main questions: is it possible to make a safe, small scale reactor capable of providing energy for a medium class home? How much would be it’s price ?How much knowledge would be needed to handle such a device? Would a housewife be able to handle it with newly developed technologies?And if an accident happened:How large would be the area of effect?
