>>3005371>Little blob of solder on the positive contact of the flashlightJust put the blob on the positive contact of the battery, a little flux and a couple seconds of heat wont hurt it>>3005407Magnets are easily chipped, a piece can fall down between the positive and negative insulation and short out the cell
>>3006147I've never had one of these magnets chip or break. I also don't think I've seen any batteries wrapped loose enough to let material slide through. Magnets are a lot easier and safer than heating a cell with a soldering iron and can be easily removed if you want to spot weld the battery later.
Hey I've done down Dtf shirts for friends before but I recently got a sublimation printer, a cricut maker 4 and heat press for cheap. I was wondering what kind of cool stuff I could do and if it is possible to turn into a small business. Would love to hear about or see projects you've done and if you sold anything and how to go about it.
>>3001457Halloween is coming up. Plus year-round cosplay faggotry.
>>3004487>>3004448Great ideas. Thank you. I have all this equipment but I'm not very social so I have no idea what people would even want but this is good to get started. I have autism and want to make this a full time work from home job.
>>3004505You could make decals/labels for things like wall switches and then spray with clear coat. Reproducing labels and badges for restoring old hardware might be lucrative if you find a niche, but you may have to pay royalties for certain things like arcade cabinet artwork.
>>3004505Use your sublimation printer to print Trapper Keeper style patterns for book covers or slip-on skins for tablet/phone cases for kids going back to skool.
I think in such an oversaturated market with such a relativly slow barrier of entry, having a specific niche is a requirement. You can't compete with simple print-on-demand services just due to their ability to price things super cheap. For most people that have those shirts made are shit like PTO events or like local kids sports. I think you really need to do something very few others are doing. Like find something neat and go into it. For example, my mother does these hydro marbled hats and I've never seen anyone else do it before.

Can someone help me understand these switches in the diagram for a 1991 F150 door locks if i push a switch
>>3006096>An electronics hobbyist>Can't understand a simple schematic made for non electriciansBuddy, you're just dumb.
>>3006106It's a non standard symbol and is frankly pretty ass at describing how it works. There is a reason there are standardized symbols for common electrical components. I don't blame him for hating it.
>>3006229It's a non standard switch.
>>3006235that's not an excuse. the symbol does a terrible job at conveying the electrical connections for each switch actuation.

Hello. I was unsure if to post this on /ck/ or /k/ but i'll do it here. I am doing a complimentary fork for my bowie knife i smithed. It'll use a bowie knife handle but smaller and with a fork on it.However, i am having trouble deciding what kind of fork it'll be, a two pronged one or three, what curvature on the prongs...Like, why are some forks straight, some curved, some slightly curved? What are the pros and cons of each? I just want a fork on a knife handle, but i have a teetering feeling forks are curved for a reason... but at the same time a flat fork would fit very nicely in a leather sheath (both knife and fork in sheath)....help!
That's not a fork. It's a threek
>>30041702 prong forks not popular because people would accidentally poke their lips3 prong forks were rejected by religious europoors somewhere around Renaissance because it looked too much like devil's tridentSo they settled for 4, and now it just werks.>paraphrased from Google ai query. Not utensil historian
>>3006083weren't 4 prong forks equally being considered blasphemous as the 4 prongs plus one handle looked or evem purposefully mimiced 4 fingers and a thumb - so a hand that it was intended to replace and apparently god made hands for ppl to eat with?
>>3006130Forks in general had trouble sprading in Europe ouside of Italy although people didn't always eat with their hands and had utensils like spoons, knives and poking skewers(which function exactly like a fork) that people carried with them in a neat leather pouch attached to their belt.
small fork = food looks more bigger
For a simple remote control application involving two MC boards I would like to use a simple UART over the air link, very low baud rate is no issue, but good range at low power would be nice. LoRa comes to mind of course, and premade LoRa UART modems do exist, but they are fairly expensive.So I stumbled over ExpressLRS modules, which might work.Using such 10 USD ExpressLRS modules, would it be possible to use them as simple bidirectional P2P transceivers?I read about AirPort Mode on those, and to set RX-as-TX Mode on one of them.Does anyone have experience with such a setup, or an alternative idea how to achieve a low cost P2P link?
How dangerous is lead, if it's unlikely anybody will get cut and bleed while dealing with it?I'm interested in buying a sheet of it for making figurines I might sell, but I don't want to use it if I run the hazard of customers getting ill from it (or getting ill and blaming it on lead).
>>3000962>romansThe British didn't ban lead water pipes until the 1970s.
>>2994158Its still pretty commonly used as a building material. Just dont eat it.
>>2996451I use it for chimney flashing on stone or cobblestone chimneys.
>>3005716Pretty sure they also make pipe boots from lead still.

I want to apply a cosmetic patch to my jacket. I believe the patch is iron on. The problem is that the jacket itself is a cheap polyester puffer. How would I go about doing this? Is it even possible? Picrel, its the jacket.
>>3005298>>3005726Funny, have a Columbia jacket I was looking to do that to for ages, but never got to actually do it; my idea was to get an embroided logo made off AliExpress, and even got the period appropriate svg logo, but I like the velcro patch idea
easy, iron the patch on like normal but be slow. use a super low iron setting and put a thin fabric between the iron and the jacket/patch like a dish towel to further reduce the heat. only iron the area of the patch, not like a wide radius around it
>>3006025also no steam
>>3005298using a iron on low (without steam) on polyester is fine, I did it on setting 2/3 and it didn’t burn anything and melted the fusible web for the felt fine.just don’t expect it to remain on, I sewed the felt on mine after using the appliqué glue to keep it in place.

>>3006019ok thank you.
diy anons i present you with a small problem. im trying to use this 4mm thick, metal pipe clamp as an lnb holder for my satellite dish. the internal diameter of this clamp is 60mm, while the lnb is only 40mm, so it can't be fitted secured around the lnb.there are two methods that i thought of:one: is wrapping something around the lnb (leather or felt) to make it thicker, or two: drill into the top metal plate and use an m6 or m8 bolt and a set of nuts to press onto the lnb from the top at the risk of breaking it. maybe i could add a smoother cap nut but it would reduce friction.is there a better way?
>>3004656I would reduce the inner diameter by modifying the clamp. It would include a vise, some heat, a hammer, quenching oil, etc. But I think leather/PVC spacers will do it if I'm not bothered to do so much work.
>>3004629I wrench anything from aircraft on down, weld and have a home machine shop. Many years ago I got some great advice from my (retired rich and still gets money from selling his machine shop, which is in a highly competitive business):Don't waste valuable effort making what you can buy at trivial cost, or buy a thing closer to what you want at trivial cost. Use Google Lens or whatever to hunt the clamp you want or something very close. You will learn the highly useful skill of how to search for parts! That's more complex than it seems even with AI, and is a key reason I did so well running military and civilian tool rooms. The tool and equipment-fu has real power.
>>3005926Absolutely! I do electronics repair as a hobby, so I'm used to hunting for parts, reading through datasheets, and looking for matching alternatives for the part i need (transistors, regulators.. etc) to fix the thing.My problem however is lack of availability, and I hate the return / re-order process so much. In this case, drilling through it achieved the desired result.
>>3005654yeah let me fire up my 50k$/year copy of ansys and model a feed horn based on this picture alone.they wouldn't be on something mass produced unless they were necessary. however, necessary for everyone doesn't necessarily mean necessary for you, if you are in a good signal area and clear of outside interference you might get away with cutting a little, but as well as rejection it also is for matching the different down freq. so again, depends on what channels you want to catch.if you can afford it, then maybe try it slowly and check what it looks like under heavy rain fade.
>>3005972i didn't cut the radial pegs, but instead removed the outer wall around them (exposing the pegs without an outer wall) = 0% signal quality and a ruined lnb. i bought this to experiment with in the first place, but sad to learn it this way.
I have one of these but it's stuck because of rust and dust. Is there something I can use of its joins to make it move again (apart from WD40 which didn't work)?
Soak down with WD40, bump back and forth with a rubber mallet.I'm assuming those sleeves were welded in place with the upright part in place so it's not able to be disassembled
>>3005055Use an actual penetrating oil. Kroil, PB Blaster, Liquid Wrench, or, if you have some on hand, mix up some ATF and acetone. Spray the shit on, make sure it is out of the sun, maybe even cover it with some plastic so it doesn't evaporate, and come back in a couple of hours.
>>3005055Tap on those sleeves around the outside with a ball-pein hammer. The impact will help break up the corrosion bond. Once it starts wiggling a bit, move it back and forth over and over again while soaked in WD-40 until you get full range of motion.
Do what the others have said, but once it's moving don't end with the penetrating oil. Pack some grease into the joints (use a spray can maybe) so it doesn't seize back up again. Penetrating lubricants evaporate.
>>3005055a hammer
I guess mash or whatever too. Looking for recommendations about how to homebrew some darts. Machines, filters/wrappers, and brands of tobbaco appreciated. How to maintain them, and store tobacco. I enjoy smoking, not paying this bullshit for a pack of smokes. Tips on growing your own and drying it out?
>>3005678I used to be dried tobacco leaves, blond and burley type, shred the shit in a grinder myself and smoke my rollies with it.Did this for like half a year before I stopped because you cannot do habitual smoking with actually unprocessed leaves. It burns too much and will fry your tongue. Heed my word anon, its not worth investing multiple hundreds in that if at the end you'll find that the smooth taste of marlboro is unbeatable.On a side note if anyone knows how to cure a persistant (multiple years long) oral thrush likely due to smoking im all ears
>>3005707not on a hobby scale.if you (or your horde of 12 year old slave labor) are tending, picking & processing 1000 acres of tobacco on a daily/weekly/yearly basis... yes, you can get sick from exposure. growing, tending & processing 10 to 100 plants over 8 months of growing and a few weeks of processing? NO, not a chance.watch for tomato worms. they are your plague. blister beetles will eat ANYTHING, so they would probably be an issue if you have them in your area.nitrogen hogs: mulch with compost. best to turn well finished compost into the soil prior to planting. if you can't or don't want to compost, find someone who raises rabbits. rabbit shit is cold fertilizer and does not need composing. you can take it straight from the rabbit and put on/in your garden soil.
>>3005683>>3005710Thanks for the info anons, looks like I'll be buying processed stuff. I've heard D&R was good, but they have a bunch of different options. Did you hand roll or use a machine?
>>3005775Hand roll, get good at it and itll become second nature, could nearly do it while drunk and in the dark at that point. Still havent found a cheap way to obtain smokes though. I was thinking mixing my bought tobacco with 30% organic cultivated stuff like what you're asking about so I can at least cut costs partly, but then I realized Id be willing to invedt way too much energy into this and it felt like bullshit. On the other hand I'm turning 30 this year and I'm gonna get clean before that, see what its like to kick the habit for a full year. id love to smoke forever but my cardiovascular health is suffering from it, oral health conpromised, and have this persistent fuckass oral thrush that I cultivate with the smoking habit. Nearly 15 years after picking up smoking I am drawing closer to the conclusion that smoking's only good if its somewhat behind you. Ex smokers and smokers alike are my kind of folks, they're usually more fun and at least somewhat aware of some of life's painful realities.
smoking is for retarded people
/sci/ feels too sci for this and /out/ is a little less /sci/ for this subject so im wondering if this fits on /diy/? anyways, does anyone have a weather station and if so is it custom built, or one of the prebuilts like pic related. if its prebuilt is there a good guide to build?
>>3005516We do cheat a little and have ours in an enclosed area and just blow ambient air over it, but they do drift.
What do you compare your sensor's humidity reading to in order to know it's gone bad?

>>3005848Didn't realize the swings were that large. This is about a week of readings from the SainLogic unit that's about five years old. We've had storms roll in a couple of days, which can be seen by the bounces as they came and went. >>3005720Do I look like Zooey Deschanel?
What effects, websites, or apps would I need to do something similar to my videos or images?

>>3005676Check out TiXL (tixl.app) it's a super easy to use FOSS alternative to Touch Designer. Making the effect in the pic would take like 3 minutes once you get the hang of the work flow.
