>>2969158see >>2968461it literally doesn't matter for low end boards, i'd rather people build shit sub-optimally at all than have them follow esoteric engineeringif you came at me with but 45's give you more space, i'd have agreed, but it only matters to you and me and other in rf/highpower
>>2969737Again: It never doesn't matter. It is just that in many applications you get away with it because your noise floor is so far away from what you're doing, you just have the budget.But you will reduce this budget. No need to sweat about it but just don't up your noise floor on purpose.It just makes it more likely - even when it's entirely unlikely - that you find your noise budget isn't all that much after all.It also means whatever you're making can operate in a bit noisier environment - even if you don't expect it to ever need to.It's like building a house and you get strength in load bearing walls for free, without downsides, but you choose to forego it and go with something weaker at the same cost. It probably makes a fine and stromg enough house. One will go down in a 5 and the other in a 6 earthquake. And there's no earthquakes in your area.

>>2964415To make a wire you have to take a piece of metal and pull it through series of pinholes with decreasing diameter. You can do it by hand, technically, but it requires a lot of strength.To make a switch you need some kind of casing and usually spring-based actual switch. Be you gotta be more specific what kind of switch you want but i'd recommend lever switches for starters.
I am just trying to make a square with these 2x4's. I want them to be perfectly flat on the surface when I screw them together with no wobble. Every time I screw them together, the clamping force of the screws makes the boards go out of alignment and then the whole thing wobbles on the countertop. I have tried clamping the two sides together, and I get a good fit on all the boards and they seem perfect, but still when I screw them in, they change positions. I am also making sure my holes are 90 degrees to the plane using a drill guide. Idk what else to do and it's driving me nuts

>>2969587I'm dealing with this right now- I'm going to pick up a 36" TV on Sunday, so I need something to put it on, I've decided to use a dresser from upstairs but getting that fucking thing down here by myself is proving to be a mess simply in terms of making the space for it, let alone actually bringing it down here.Oh, and it's a CRT, so it's going to weigh like 200 pounds.

Thinking about building a small cnc mill for small steel and aluminum parts. I’d like to make the thing mainly out of aluminum extrusions. I was thinking that a fixed gantry design like picrel would be the most rigid, except I’d like to mirror it so there are diagonal braces on both sides and to increase the depth of my work area.Is this the most rigidity possible given the size and format constraints?
>>2969564Just do it how cnc machines do, bearing cap, bolts on either end of your ballscrew/lead screw limit your travel by switches to prevent carrier from crashing into these caps Why are you trying to do some crazy DMG Mori EVO magnet way bullshit on a $250 desktop milling machine

I'm sick of programming websites, I want to produce something more real. Do CNC programmers make good money? It seems like CNC programming would be more specialized than websites because few people have access to a CNC machine that they can practice on.
>>2969879A "CNC programmer" is in fact a CAD/CAM software operator. As one you need of course to know g-code for debugging and troubleshooting and having a general idea on what's going on, but if you're routinely writing it by hand it's either something too primitive to even need the cnc in the first place, or you're just wasting your time on doing what a computer would do faster and better.>few people have access to a CNC machine that they can practice onAnyone with a 3d printer or a router or any of the million cheap chink CNCs on the market. They all operate on the same code and basic principles as the big industrial machines and only lack support for some complex commands as well as higher end gimmicks like tool changers, probes, various coolant options, spindles etc., which are often brand or machine specific so you'll have to learn it at your workplace anyways. If anything it might be better to start with a cheap machine that you will have to babysit through stuff that big machines will automate away or just plow through, leaving you clueless when they fail to, and that you can crash all day long without bankrupting yourself.
>>2970099Thanks a lot for the response, this really helps. I have a Bambulab A1mini and have only used it to print premade models, I'll dig into it and see if I can write custom gcode for it to get my feet wet.
I live in an apartment on the 2nd floor and whenever my neighbor runs their dryer, the exhaust from their dryer comes through my mine and floods my place with dryer sheet odor. Can I block off the pipe, or install an inline damper so no air will get through, or will that be a fire risk?

>>2968443California.>>2968449I went to a local place. They always had ads out for students because it was shit work but the hours were flexible. It was basically a call center. They buy up debt and harass people via phone. Just know you you aren't going to get much. They paid me 5% of the debt and that was a good rate. Likely because it was court ordered debt and not just a repo'd car or unpaid bills.>>2968460Where I am it is allowed. Every single place I rented from ended up in small claims court because of bullshit. Half the cases had lawyers. I actually read the tenants rights laws for California and they are quite generous for renters. One guy refused to return my deposit because he bought the place after I moved in and he said the previous owner didn't transfer my deposit. The judge laughed him out of court. I had one keep almost my entire deposit as a cleaning fee. I asked for an itemized list with receipts. He refused to give it. Small claims. The judge told him that yes, he was required to do that. He typed up some bullshit and sent it over. Back to small claims. I ended up getting almost my entire deposit back. Only had to pay for a set of drip pans for an electric stove which was $15. I had a landlord try to get me to pay for water damage from a leaking water heater. It was in a closet behind the unit. Literally never went back there. Small claims. Judge tossed it. One landlord tried to get me to pay the entire cost for replacing the carpets and painting the unit. Tenant law says you are not responsible for wear and tear, any replacement cost should be prorated based on age/life of the item, and that the unit only needed to be returned near the condition it was rented in. Landlord had no idea how old the carpets were and they just claimed that they painted every unit at the end of a lease. I had pictures from move in that clearly showed they didn't paint before I got the place and the carpets were old when I moved in. My entire deposit was returned.

I see most brands make two types of SDS drill, but why? what's the difference between a hammer drill and a rotary hammer? what's the difference between these two types, is it just the power? does the first one do the same thing as the second?
>>2969843im not quite sure what youre asking. thats a rotary hammer. you can use it to hammer or hammer drill. same stuff as the rotary hammers in OP.
>>2969847nah it;s just that is looks like a normal electric drill, rotary hammers usually being in this form factorhttps://www.screwfix.com/p/skil-rh1u1781gb-5-3kg-electric-sds-plus-rotary-hammer-drill-220-240v/755kg#product_additional_details_container
>>2969818I have a corded bosch one like the one on the left and a cordless metabo hpt one like the one on the right. The right version is more compact and easier to keep in my tool box and drilling when you have less space. Otherwise i have no idea of the differences.
>>2969818Hammer drills are more suited to drilling. They're lighter and easier to handle, and usually spin faster. The hammer function is really only there for some added versatility when you need it. Key operand word being "need". Rotary hammers are just straight-up better for anything you'd be using the hammer drill function for. And, unlike a lot of tools where the "pro" version is noticeably-but-not-amazingly-better, it's not just a little bit better. Even a light-duty rotary hammer will put a hole through concrete or stone roughly an order of magnitude faster than a good hammer drill, unless you're going through something very soft or easily broken up (like brick or cinder block).
>>2969818left: 2,6 joule hammering powerright: 2,1 joule hammering powersize and price isnt all, i got the left and it does my jobs with some to spare. for drain pipe i have used it up to 35mm in thick concrete, takes a battery but its more powerull than your dads old 220v. for car repairs it eats through spot welds like they wherent there. right might have dust retrieval or something i couldnt find thoose specs easily.

Looking to find out how urgently I need an electrician or if I'm okay keeping everything unplugged at the moment. I had an injury and have been keeping a minifridge and small microwave in my master bathroom for a while. The outlet has tripped twice in the last 7-10 days, with the GFCI located downstairs in the garage. I don't think it's connected to anything else.It's been uncharacteristically wet out, I live in the desert, but we've had fog.Unfortunately, my house is a mess because of the injury and I'm not comfortable having people in. Am I at risk of having an electrical fire, like to the point I need to clean immediately and get an electrician in ASAP, or as long as I keep the outlets unplugged, am I okay for like a month or two so I can clean at a slower pace?
>>2968723>GFCI tripped twice in 10 daysFirst worlders are so spoiled.I had to bypass the GFCI for the washing machine because it kept trippingNow i get a nice shock if I'm not careful and touch any exposed metal. Keeps me on my toes while doing laundry
Electricians here? Installed my entire house up with industrial grade outlets, GFCI, and light switches since the houses electrical was ass. Will it add any value to the house or was this just needless overkill for the sake of it?https://www.amazon.com/Leviton-G5262-WTW-Extra-Heavy-Industrial-Tamper-Resistant/dp/B019D8Q27E?th=1https://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-15-Amp-125-V-Industrial-Grade-Tamper-Weather-Resistant-Duplex-Outlet-Receptacle-White-1-Pack-TWR15-W-TWR15-W/301361208
>>2969943Tamper resistant is standard now so that was right. Industrial grade ive never put in anywhere so thats overkill. Regardless of the quality of stuff you put in, replacing the receptacles will be a nice bulletpoint on the list. Assuming you put them in right and didn't fuck up the splices
>>2969974Thanks for the insight i hopefully (triple checked) didn't fuck up the splices.
>>2968723Some fridges trip certain GFIs because they can think there's an imbalance on the load. Plug it into a normal outlet and don't worry about it.

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.
>>2969955>people in their jobs take breaks just like you dono, they take a day off here or there. I have taken multiple consecutive years off multiple times. Not the same. They are full-time working on a single project with all of their focus 40-60 hours per week. I on a good week am doing like 4 hours that week. No the same. Someone achieving more in 60 hours than someone did in 4 hours does not mean they are more efficient or a faster worker. >you are comparing yourself to Godyes I am weak and he is strong. That's a comparison. That's a humble position, not a brag.>you saw God is superior to you as a designer by working on your robot projectcorrect. I supposed why not have a nose bone? I thought I'll use a bone there. Then I later realized if the robot face planted that bone would get shoved into the skull, penetrating anything therein and would have converted into a weapon of destruction. So a bone cannot be there but cartilage can. So the thing forming the nose shape must be cartilage like, not bone like. I learned WHY the nose has a cartilage-like design, not understanding it or considering it until I questioned it and thought I'd change it. In my attempt to improve the design or modify it I discovered the reason for the original design and was able to marvel at the brilliance of it. Giving glory to God for it. And so it has gone for many studies regarding it and there are other examples like this. So yes, whether making a robot involving studying the body's design or studying it for medical school purposes or w/e you come to appreciate many parts of its design and if you believe in God as creator then you naturally marvel at the work of His hands and the cleverness of his designs.
>>2969994>I find I can honor God through my robot project but don't like spending too much time on itNobody said I don't LIKE to spend too much time on it. That's not true. I just have other pressing matters to attend to on a regular basis. And you also suppose that this project is the ONLY way I can honor God which is also not true. I can honor God in countless other ways and do so. So honoring God less often in one way I honor Him does not diminish my overall honoring Him as long as the other thing I do when not honoring Him with this project honors Him equally. As long as one is acknowledging God in all their ways they are honoring him always. As long as one prays unceasingly they are honoring him always. As long as one is obeying God always according to their knowledge they honor him always. One does not need to find a single way they can honor God and then just do that thing on a near constant basis as you falsely suppose. That would lead to terrible work like balanced and being neglectful of your other responsibilities and so very foolish indeed.
The universe/multiverse or what have you may belong to God but the world belongs to miku
>>2970001>I on a good week am doing like 4 hours that weekIf you think you're going to build a robot that builds itself and design AI that upgrades itself by working on those 4 hours a week then you're either retarded or delusional. You can't honestly both claim that you're going to complete this project and excuse yourself with having other shit to do>Someone achieving more in 60 hours than someone did in 4 hours does not mean they are more efficient or a faster worker.bro, you're buying random shit off amazon and trying to use it in your project, documenting failure after failure. You're obviously inefficient, unskilled, untrained and incompetent, keeping yourself in the comfort zone by fetching answers along the way from a chatbot.>yes I am weak and he is strong. That's a comparison. That's a humble position, not a brag.You literally implied you learned to appreceate God more as a creator because on your "work" on a humanoid robot. What a way to show your humility lmao. You clearly have God complex, you're unable to admit your delusions or your faults, and most likely you're driven to build these robots because of your compulsive need to control other beings, whilst being too repulsive to most of actual people.>>you saw God is superior to you as a designer by working on your robot projectI didn't even claim that, it's fascinating how 80% of your reply is reply to your own argument that you made up. You're going to go to hell for being prideful alone, forget wanting to fuck the robot.
>>2970004okay give me an example of your on regular basis pressing matter that takes precedence over building a world class perfect humanoid robot with human-like mind that all armies in the world and private sector would kill for.
My 10 year old electric water heater has some visible rust on the bottom, pic-related. I still get plenty of hot water though. Is a sudden rupture with 50 gallons of water on the floor a very real possibility? Should I get it replaced ASAP?
>>2969171Yes and no. A pan and drain pipe is required if the water heater is installed above living space. Like on a 2nd floor, or in a 1st floor above a basement. It's not required if it's installed on the 1st floor over a pier or crawlspace foundation. However I would still recommend it, as it can take the water away to someplace harmless should it start leaking.
>>2969115>I sent the pic to chatgptAnd you got a reddit answer.As the anon said it's not the tank. Also, replace it when you see water on the floor. It won't explode.
>>2969115What the fuck makes you think chatgpt would know? Most plumbing is experience based, either learned by doing or in person apprenticeship. It cant even have enough training data to have a coherent answer.
>>2969115>I'm not sure what you mean by "that's not the tank"That's just the outside shell, the part that actually holds the water is inside and there's a layer of insulation between the inside tank and the outside shell.
>>2969115If you had a leak, anon, it would be pushing out at house pressure, usually 45-50 psi. It would quickly soak the insulation and pool at the bottom. The rust would be around the seam. As another anon said, looks more like you have a leaking bottom element.
What is the largest, heaviest, or just plain most ridiculous/absurd thing you've ever had shipped to your place that was DIY related? With some of these free shipping deals you can find online there's not really a reason not to order ridiculous crap and have it sent to your doorstep. I've ordered a 6x26 mill from Harbor Freight, a couple engine short blocks off e-bay. Eight 18.4-38 tractor tires at one time and several other sets of rear tractor tires 4 at a time. My old man bought a 2 post lift, tire machine, and log splitter from Northern tool as well as a couple of bandsaws from Grizzly and a box and pan brake from Enco. Most of the big stuff comes on a freight truck, but the smaller stuff is a lot of times just your standard UPS or Fedex driver. Have ordered quite a few sets of 4 pickup tires. Sometimes 3 or 4 sets at a time. Those always came Fedex. Had the UPS man deliver five 1/2" thick SSQA plates. Bet he loved me for that. Ammo is always heavy as hell, as well as steel and lead bought off the internet. Might have just outdone myself this time though. Just ordered twenty-two 235/85/16 load range F trailer tires from Wal-mart.com... Might have to give that poor bastard a Christmas tip.
