She gave me a piece of yarn and told me to make it into a blanket help

look at it closely.
the fibers are woven together, just like the archetypal male and female cross over to make new life.
just do that but with yarn.

Want to renovate a cottage since the grandpa that built it didn't have much knowledge about construction. Good man.

Looking for building advice and financial tips but everything is accepted.

The idea is to keep the rural wood feeling but improve it's mayor issues; in heat (floor with wood and dirt, no protection on the inner wall); aesthetic (zinc plate for the outer walls); and choosing innovative materials that you would recommend.

If it's useful the house is like a mix between German-Chilean architecture (pic related) and those hunter of the woods homes you see in the movies.

Tell us more. Show pics. Foundation, structure, plumbing, climate, constraints etc.

Besides that, I'd recommend painting it (add a shot of black).

What do we think bros?
>>
>>2959327
Fibre makes the filament more effectively temperature resistant by letting it get closer to its glass-transition temp while under load. In the same way I believe the fibres improve creep resistance, though if you care about strength you should be getting fibre-core filament. Abrasion resistance too.

The fibres also make PLA able to be annealed without warping, but some shrinkage is still likely from what I’ve seen. Annealing is why I bought some CF-PLA.

If you wanted the properties of PETG but as a more rigid plastic like PLA, CF-PETG might well be worth considering. I bought some CF-core PCTG for UV resistance on some outdoor brackets.

Carbon fiber does, generally, make prints stronger and stiffer. You know there are technical data sheets and publicly-available tests for these things, right?

So i ordered a silicone sex doll. Long story short, it was damaged during shipping. It was stored upside down, the neck bolt actually tore through cardboard box and for part of journey was being dragged across a dirty floor by neck bolt. Area was black when i got it and ive since cleaned it up. Due to the stress of transit, the silicone that surrounded the neck bolt was detached.

Looking for recommendations for adhesive or glue that could bond silicone with what im guessing is plastic. Tried contacting manufacturer for assistance but havent heard anything and dont think they are going to be much help. Luckily all the damage is to the neck stump so its not visible normally. Only when head is off

ty. That seems like it would be harder to cut tho? Couldn't you just consider the thinness when you're designing to make sure there's enough supports (like would building a 4x2x10 box be easiest with 6 sides, as opposed to one rectangular hexacomb cardboard)

>inb4 you're completely retarded
This one isn't at my house, so I can't just walk over there and mess with it, but I need to replace the battery. This thing is from the 2000s, so I'm wondering if the whole thing should be replaced. Do I just twist it, there's going to be a battery in there, and I just replace it? I do know that some of these are powered by the mains / grid power, but this one chirps every minute, and it's been doing this for years.

What type of battery is this likely going to use?

While not exactly the same model or possibly even brand, it will give you something to go off of.

FireAngel is the name on the package so even if it's not your manufacturer, you could search FireAngel and go to their website and it's product information should be ballpark similar to yours.

Apparently these things were also sold at Costco at one point in time so they could be pretty popular. They seem to have a 5 year battery life of some kind...so that would hopefully explain the longevity, unless they're dead and worn out...LOL.

If he limits his inverter to 10kW export, then they shouldn't care too much unless they are autistic enough to look at satellite images on how many panels each house has. If he doesn't limit his inverter, they will figure it out sooner or later and he will probably get fined.
>>2956406
$58 per kWh assuming it actually has the rated capacity. Which would be really good for a completed battery, the nkon cells are without case or BMS. But alas, I wouldn't trust home storage on aliexpress batteries, those are more for like an off-grid shed or whatever.

-materials on hand:
-16 250watt BP solar panels (salvaged from a homeowner replacement job)
-piles of Iron ridge 14’ rail
- boxes of leftiver IR and unirac flash foots, flash loc comps etc

It's fine. But don't expect those panels to do well in the winter, might need to top up with generator now and then, depending on how much you work in the shop. Minisplit heating in winter would also be a challenge. Also learn everything about safety elements and grounding if you are doing a full /diy/ job. Use proper solar wire for connecting the panels to the inverter.

I want to make a hole in this case to put a LED through it but I need to pad it to provide support for the LED (which is about 7mm long).

Will I need to rotate the case to 3D print the pad on the wall ?

I mean, silicone baking mats should be sold all over the place in department or kitchen supply stores. Walmart sell half-sheet sized ones(13x18") for like $8. 1 half-sheet sized panel should be enough to do 6 or 8 gloves(assuming its just covering the dark grey part of the oven mitt in your pic)

I have a link in the OP my guy.

I'm considering buying a vintage car (Citroen 11 bl)


But it recently occurred to me that most vintage vehicles were built in an era where asbestos was commonly used.
I wasn't able to find any official or non official information about the extent of asbestos use in this car but it's fair to assume that at least the breaks and clutch were made out of it.

How can i know which part is asbestos? how can i safely (if possible) remove it and replace it to be able to drive it daily without risk?
>>
>>2956191
your are probably more at risk removing the abestos than leaving it alone
its been there for 80+ years
but if you start to remove it, you will make particles and that is the unsafe part

dont snort lines on the brakes or clutch

now, if the clutch is releasing clouds of dust at each speed changes inside the car, sure, go ahead and remove it

as for identification, go see a specialized auto shop
im thinking you are a frog, so find a collector focused shop, maybe contact la fabrique auto, they should know better than this moldovan pastries recipes forum
>>
>>2956191
I personally wouldn't worry about it at all.
It's not like it's ebola aids, you only have one car with some in it maybe, you are not mining asbestos for 40 years.
It was used for clutch and brakes mostly, some gaskets too. If the car has been driven, these will already be replaced with modern ones.
If it works, don't mess with it, asbestos is not harmful until you start fucking with it.
It's also GOAT material, it's a shame it was banned instead of figuring out safer ways to work with it.

Why are battery main switches made of steel and not copper or brass? In this picture, those are just washers, not contact pads. You're supposed to screw your cable terminal between the two nuts, so the bolt itself is the conductor.

Do not buy the chinkshit anon. I had a cheap one where the rivets were so bad the top plastic part soft as fuck too couldn't hold the bar inside and the contact was very weak as in dangerous and it arced inside, destroying the soft "copper" bar that pivots to make contact.
