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!

A cheap one, just take it easy on the spraying, you can always upgrade the fans later

Airbrush cleaning pots are imo a must. Like yeah, you don't need it, but it makes EVERYTHING so much better it's not even funny.

Any advice for airbrushing outside? I don't want to setup a paintbooth inside.

Has anyone painted a model outdoors? My area is hot but humidity is low.

>bass music from neighboring houses
For me it's the sound of the neighbor upstairs walking around, pe. Not only it drives me crazy, but it will wake me up if I'm asleep.
This bass sound will wake you up or it is only a problem if you are already awake?

>>2996842
Wait until they are not home, let the dog out. Dog runs away retarded and happy, not barking any more. Solved. If they confront you with camera footage say you thought it was hurt and went to look.

>>2996842
If American: use a payphone/burner phone to tip off the ATF about illegal machineguns.

>>2996842
Go to city animal control. They'll give you a form to fill out about animal noise. Dates/times/durations. Fill it all in. I did this 20+ years ago with a big obnoxious barking dog next door. Within about 2 days the problem was fixed. I don't know what they threatened the neighbor with, but it was stone cold fixed forever.

>>2997884
Yeah for retards I killed 3 of my neighbors dogs with meat and poison. Nobody was any the wiser. It's quiet now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My god none of you have any contracting experience! I'm so glad I saw this post, I mean offence, you are all kinda retarded.

So go in the basement, there should be vent controls on the pipes. Most homes especially older ones have that. Usually you just turn the vent controls from winter to summer. Like pic related. Or in a more modern home you close and open vents to redistribute the air flow to make sure some rooms get more air than others, look up a guide on how to balance airflow. Its probably set to winter, that's why you are roasting.

>>3004364
I appreciate the info. This is an old, 1959 house in Texas. I don't know where all the vent stuff is, but I think it's in the roof. So I'll go up there sometime and see if I can find anything like what you mention. Anyway, the grilles in each room don't have the ability to open/close. So possibly I'll need to buy a new grille that I can close.

>>3004366
Yeah I'm from Chicago and we have different build standards than you. A nigger rigging way to fix it is to block the outflow from nearby vents to see if it increases the flow into your room. Once you figure out what increases flow replace that out vent with one that can close and close it 90 percent. Basically you can make it so some rooms that stay too cold get less air and your room gets more. Think of it as balancing the air flow. If you can't figure it out I'll pop back in this thread to help you out.

This is why I live in a 106 year old house you new(house)fag. Shit I've had water leaks and the house just kinda breaths, no mold, no problems.

>>3004274
If you don’t mind the higher quiescent current and have some way to shut them off when you lose power it’s probably feasible. It would be better if you put 3.7V zener diodes in series with each resistor, so they conduct much more at higher voltages.

But I would want to use a constant current 12V source or otherwise have a way of limiting current, a normal 12V supply will try to push a bunch of amps into an 11V battery buffer.

While C10 is ramping down again, Q2 will already be off. Unless you hold down the button long enough to see the ramp-down.

The wire of shame.
Thanks to the anon who recommended fine gauge kynar wire though, it seems to work well for these purposes.
You can see what happened, I accidentally deleted the GND in the schematic so the layout passed all the DRC checks despite it being FUCKED UP. I'm still mad as hell but it's not worth ordering a whole new set of boards just to fix this.

>>3004307
Yeah I did mention that as a precondition.
The source I'm working with is ideally suited IMO, it's not very stiff and even if one did nothing about it couldn't OC the batteries.
>>3004351

like the silver coating?

>>3004351
That’s why you run ERC for your schematic. I never do, but maybe it’s something I should learn to use.

It stores everything. The tool holder, all the blades and the pilot drill bit.
The transparent plastic blister it originally came in was way too big and flimsy. Now it’s a neat little package.

Damn, that sucks. Definitely wear a respirator, gloves, earplugs. I'd probably try the pressure washer first. that will keep the dust down

>>3003995
The pressure washer would probably work decently well. Might be a sloppy mess though. Could get one of those long pressure washer wands and some extra extensions and maybe get the bulk of it from the ground.

I started taking the peptide BPC 157 and both a long-term heel injury and a shoulder overuse injury were greatly diminished within days, gone in a couple weeks. TB - 500 is something I'd like to try as well, but I don't know if I'm even going to continue taking them because it solved the problem.

Worst DIY injury is stepping on a giant carpet staple. Went most of the way through my foot.
Also landed barefoot on a rake once. That took me out for a few weeks, the longest of any non-medical incident. Not exactly DIY but whatever.

I used to work in IT for over 24 years. one job I had for 12 years I got so much computers, monitors, and any random computer equipment for free that it filled my home shop.

unlike you niggers I never stole any of it. I just offered to dispose of it for clients. my employer would give me truck loads of stuff. for a while I had so much I was scrapping loads of it.

we would upgrade an office with all new equipment and then they would just give us the old stuff. I ended up recycling, selling, and donating scads of equipment.

I currently have 6 UPS's because it was cheaper to swap them out than replace the batteries.

I have parted out dozens of old APC UPS's for DIY stuff. The transformers in the 12 volt ones make great 21v power supplies for powering cordless tools.

at one time I had over 50 LCD monitors we got from a law firm.

I had a palette of POS credit card terminals I sold to some company who refurbishes them.

pic related is an entire office worth of old phone and network cable that the network guy was too lazy to recycle. it filled a mini van half full. we got $300 and would have gotten more if we took the time to sort it.

I worked as an aircraft mechanic for 7 years. as long as you did not put something in your lunch box (the only thing security checked when you left for the day) you could sneak all sorts of stuff out of the building:
spray paint hidden in the sleeves of my winter coat.
aluminum tape
teflon tape
all sorts of screws, blind fasteners, pop rivets, nuts, and bolts which were in bins that you took what you needed to work on the planes.
I kept all sorts of extra parts and pieces in my tool box, and when I left they never looked inside it.
they had these dispensers of razor blades which had like 100 blades in each. I took 2 of them.
this was 32 years ago. I am still using nuts and bolts from then. I'm down to my last 20 razor blades. I still have rolls of different tapes. spools of safety wire. anti seize compound. grease. Adhesive sanding pads, cutoff wheels and all sorts of stuff I can't think of at the moment.

I live in a not-great area, its astounding the number of people who are nearly broke but will once a month demand someone on Nextdoor demand a mower come THIS AFTERNOON to mow just the front yard, usually followed by
>all I got is $14

Its usually because the HOA or city is fining the owner of the house or have given a notice their yard looks like shit.

>>3004153
I forgot to add, I can see over some of my neighbor's fences, some just let the back yard do whatever it does until they're reported to the city for making an attractive nuissance to pests like rodents. I had to report 1 neighbor 3 times before the city was about to fine them; they had a pile of tree branches, stolen bikes, and a mattress piled up. Their excuse was debris haul off costs money and they couldn't afford it.

by the by, on next door there are plenty of gypsy scams where people complain about not having a job for months, no car to even get a job, starving kids, abusive relationship, etc and boomers venmo them cash. Its insane how it works so well.

I remember watching a video of a guy who figured out how to grow mushrooms or fungi to be as hard as bricks. His brick fungi was also water resistant and fire resistant and had a cool concept of using it as building material. This was maybe 10+ years or so ago and to this day, always look back at how cool of a concept that was of being able to make houses out of fungus but never heard anything like or from this since. I don't know much but fungi but did anything ever come from this and was it really possible to grow them to be that hard?

ESPs have CAN, I’d want to use that. Wireless might work if it’s a reliable protocol or if the vehicle has no spark plugs.

>>3004185
ESP also has ETH phy, so you might want to consider using that as well.
I’d use it, just because I don’t know much about CAN but use ETH all the time.

>>3004208
Fair enough. ETH phy requires isolation transformer and connector hardware, but even then it's probably cheaper than CAN transceivers, and no less robust in an automotive environment. Plus all the connectors and cables are standardised. The main upside to CAN is that it's a bus, you can have multiple devices all on the same wires without worrying about packet collisions or needing proper routing. Maybe it's better for precision timing too.

>>3004185
i dont have spark plugs and im ok with some unreliable connection as long as it fixes itself.
Its pretty much just for sending data to a 2x16 display.
if i have time i might try it out this week

The ESP32 is so unfun. Too complicated to do your own bare metal stuff. Too memory and CPU starved to comfortably do higher level bloatware.

some are obviously retarded and sketchy as fuck like the parasail one in picrel
some pretty interesting ones tho like tying 2 planes together and flying in circles with the weight in the middle (basically a helicopter rotor without the helicopter)
personally i think the winner will be one of the big turbine helicopters or one of the more efficient big multirotor ones with some kind of battery other than li-po's.

>>3003221
I'm rooting for the huge spindly beach umbrella looking one or the silly two RC planes. I was blown away by the helicopter design today that lifted 112 lbs.

yeah i think there are 2 teams using the 2 airplane spinny thing method.
one is electric which will obviously be more reliable but less endurance, one is gas but dude couldnt get 1 of them started after trying for 90 mins earlier.
idk its an awesome design, seems like the electric guys have the control down but not sure about the lifting and endurance yet
