Anons i am an absolute idiot what do i buy to get into HAM? It seems really cool. Is it expensive?
>>2966134First read the FAQ and go through the library. Then you need to decide on what aspect of the hobby you will go for: tech, social/chatting over the airwaves, competition etc. And then get a rig based on your needs.You can get a single frequency Morse code rig for 3 dollars, it is hard to go cheaper than that. A good rig is about 1000 dollars.
>>2966134>Is it expensive?yes very.

>>2964274Years ago I got a shit ton of diesel fuel additive/conditioner off craigslist for free. Some construction company shutting down and they had all kinds of Champion brand liquid moly oil additives and fuel additives. A whole pickup bed load that they were just giving away. Whenever I get my bulk fuel tanks filled up I dump some treatment in just trying to use it all up.

>>295969415# or 30# demo hammer with a clay spade is what you want for this kind of bead busting.Just set the spade in the bead, and go to town. Unless the rim is absolutely ate the fuck up with tinworm, it won't hurt it at all.
>>2966140>15# or 30# demo hammer with a clay spade is what you want for this kind of bead busting.>Just set the spade in the bead, and go to town.>Unless the rim is absolutely ate the fuck up with tinworm, it won't hurt it at all.Hydraulic bead breakers are a blessing from the lord. Not even that expensive either. 230 bucks with a one minute e-bay search. Might be able to find even cheaper if you shop around more... It's worth it to buy the right tool for the job here. https://www.ebay.com/itm/282999488903
>>2966174yeah, we've got an old hydraulic bead breaker we used for it. breaking the bead wasn't a problem because of it, getting the bead to slide over the flange was the whore because it just didn't want to stretch, and when we put more ugga dugga on it, it would just rip and split instead
snowblower threadim thinking of buying one this year, live in a coastal area with heavy wet snowmy driveway is about 150 feet to the garage but since ive lived here ive just shoveled about 1/6th of it and kept the cars parked up front outsidei know nothing about them other than what im reading online im thinking a 300cc would be ideal maybe a toro, honda looks nice too but a bit $$
>>2960865get a tracked honda. you won't regret>t. proud owner of an HS80
>>2960865even though we seldom get more than 2" of snow here at any given time I've joined the ranks of snowblower owners after I bought this off Marketplace for $401990 Craftsman track snowblower, didn't run, cleaned the carb and now it runs like a champ... now just waiting for snow...
>>2960865You want a 2-stage machine if really wet sow. Even then it will load up and need the plunger. Also, 8HP minimum, more is better. Spray the auger & chute with PAM cooking spray, helps to keep snow from loading up. I bought a Troy-Bilt one several years ago, great machine. x
>>2965726I'd heard that Honda was getting out of the lawnmower/snowblower business though?
It's a neat contraption but not as easy to use as you'd think. Definitely better for your back than a hand shovel though.I have a 280cc I got for cheap cause it wouldn't start. Turns out the previous owner just left it sitting over the summer, I cleaned out the carb and it was good to go. Make sure you empty out the fuel system when you store it or you'll have to clean the carb at the start of the season. On my model taking the carb off and cleaning it didn't take too long. Maybe a couple hours with some basic sockets and a couple pieces of wire to clean out the jets.
I am building a bed loft that will render the existence of this ceiling fan impractical. There'll be ~45" between the deck of the loft and the ceiling. Are there any good low-profile (less than ~6" depth) options to replace it with that don't have external moving parts but still have an internal fan to maintain some circulation up at the top of the room? Any other suggestions of neat fixtures that would suit the situation? Or should I just put in a little basic dome light and figure out something else for air circulation?
>>2963372actual lol
>>2963371Keep the existing fan. Build a small skirt around it (attached to ceiling) to guard blade tips. The skirt will have to stand off fromthe ceiling to allow air flow.Think ducted fan.
>>2966169No

>>2966141Get some experience with those micros before you commit to them. Ideally get ones that work on the CH32V003Fun stack by CNLohr. WCH do make some ICs specialised for motor driving like the CH32M007 and M030, but they have integrated gate drivers so might not be ideal. SimpleFOC does support quite the variety of chips that you may want to consider:https://docs.simplefoc.com/microcontrollersGoing for an ESP32 seems sensible.>>2966167A properly designed split-rail op-amp circuit has no DC bias to get rid of anyhow.A cap before a volume pot that's wired up as a voltage divider shouldn't influence frequency response. The cap and pot act like a high-pass filter, and the full resistance of the pot is the resistance to ground, that never changes. I'd be simulating it before asking AI.
>>2966190>Get some experience with those micros before you commit to them.I mean... it is just STM32 with ARM core replaced with RV core. Sorta. Kinda. DependsIf Chinese docs aren't clear, ST docs would prob explain it. >CH32V003Fun stack by CNLohrHm... I think I should use just native HAL stuff, because driving motor is time critical and abstractions would just make it harder to understand why on earth MOSFETs blew up 100th time today>WCH do make some ICs specialised for motor driving like the CH32M007 and M030I checked them, but issue is that they aren't high voltage enough. 48V variant can work with 50V max, and I think any BEMF spike into DC bus will damage it on 36V (30-42V li-ion) system ESP32, idk. Would work probably. But I have never dealt with anything like that.

I want to have two pieces of 3d plastic secured together via rod and rod will go through a ball bearing. The piece will be small, the rod will be something like 2-3mmI have some aluminum rods but it doesn't look like it will wor. It doesn't grab PLA as tight as I wish. It either doesn't go in at all or friction is not enough to prevent PLA from slipping the rod. Maybe super glue would help I also want to be able to remove or adjust parts if neededI am now thinking pic related, elastic spring dowels but I imagine a 3mm dowel would destroy a ball bearing with inner diameter of 3mm.But maybe it would work if I use a larger diameter ball bearing? I can wrap a (teflon?) tape around part of the rod that will go into bearing and make it just tight enough. Or could be a 3d printed sleeve
>>2965958>3d plastic3d printed plastic. also ball bearing will be in the middle in case that matters
how do i solidcam?is that where you click on the surface of the 3d model and it makes the program for you?
>>2965958how does it go into athe ball bearing?can you draw it on paint so i can get a better picture in my mind?
>>2966196Gray line is aluminum rod. Red parts are 3d printed plastic that should be firmly secured into rod and blue circle is the bearing.The entire part will rotate but I want red plastic parts to have a secure grip so they don't slip off and change their relative angles. I ordered some elastic spring dowels and will give those a try. It should grip plastic hard enough. I will use a larger diameter bearing so it is not a tight fit there (use shims if needed) so the bearing doesn't explode from stress
I want to build a small trampoline to help my grandma exercise her feet. I want the 'jumpy' part to be no more than 12×18 inches, that's how I would size it for myself and I've yet to measure her feet but the size isn't important what I want to know as a heavily medicated brainlet is what tools and materials I need and how do I work them and who else makes trampolines and whatever. This trampoline is not for jumping it's just for pushing your feet into while you sit, I think it would make her calves stronger. Also it has to be made out of wood I'm not a welder. Thanks.
>>2965821check out upholstery suspension systems, i upgraded some wooden chairs by knocking out the center and putting in springs. pushing your feet against weight is often down with a variable weight system so you do not get bored.
start here
>>2965821>to help my grandmayou put granny on a trampoline you are going to help into intensive care then a wheel chair. All she needs to do is regular and front calf exercises and walking up and down the stairs. Take her to the beach or where there is some sand to air her out and get some practice walking on sand, but be with her to help keep her from falling.
>>2965864Thank you>>2965969This is giving me ideas, thank you.>>2966099You didn't read the full post lol. We're many miles from a beach and she doesn't have stairs in her apartment. Maybe in summer though, good idea.
>>2966123>she doesn't have stairs in her apartment.I know this sounds crazy, but take her somewhere where there are stairs, you know like the local mall where women love to walk and shop. Don't ignore the front and regular calf rasies - all you need is 2x4 to stand on with some shoes and a door way to hold for support. Feet, calves, legs are the foundation for stability. She can do partial squats holding on to door way for support. Go and do it with her, but the trampoline for an old person is certain disaster, espcially if she was not athletic as a young girl.
It's happening again.How is it possible that a furnace will not produce heat unless the filter is pulled out at least a couple inches? The furnace is not new, we did not have this problem years ago until a certain point, and apparently if you push the filter all the way in, it produces heat for only like a couple hours, and then stops doing so, leading us to pull the filter out to get it working again, and it only happens when it's really cold outside. Not moderately cold, it has to be "really cold", I guess in the mid 20s or less.Why does it only work briefly instead of not at all? Why the does the filter have to be pulled out, to get a runtime of more than like 2 hours? And why does it stop? Seriously, this makes no sense at all. Is there any furnace in the entire world besides ours that does this?
>>2965858Because "pleats" are too hard to say, even though you can see that I know what pleats are by my previous usage of the word...Are you the definition of "lolworthy"?
>>2965615>How about we start with this: When you say "5 inch", across which axis is it?>>Because I know what a "pleats per inch (or any other size)" measurement is, but there is nothing on a regular residential furnace filter that is anywhere near 5 inches in size. It's all either too big or too small, and I can't say I've seen one anything like how you describe, and you've never even said "per" anything.https://www.amazon.com/FilterBuy-20x25x5-Pleated-Replacement-Honeywell/dp/B00NVF51ZK

I do not believe you op. Why would you even bother doing the expensive paperwork to get it in your name without knowing the condition and squatter issue? Inspections don't expire, they're just a list of things to fix. You absolutely can sell a home with roof and plumbing issues and an uncertified furnace, you just have to lower the price, disclose all the issues, and ignore anyone with a loan preapproval because it won't pass their own bank required inspection. Spray paint CASH OFFERS ONLY on the front door and smear shit on the walls to get the point across if you have to. If you call a realtor and they tell you "they want to escrow" hang up and call a different one. I assure you there are plenty who can move your rat den with code violations, house flipping is an entire industry. If an actual lawyer told you you are better off abandoning it than attempting to sell it as is for dirt cheap to recoup some of your losses, why even ask for help beyond that?

I've never actually done it, but you could in theory buy a coffee from the gas station, or even better bring back a cup for a cheap refill, and fill it 100% full with a coffee creamer of your choice. Then take it home and use it to put creamer in your own coffee. It would be way cheaper than buying actual creamer at the store.
>>2964773realistically, how many public restrooms have industrial sized rolls of tp and are constantly refilling them to keep up your supply? The answer would be like two in the whole county and there would be an investigation due to high value of property stolen over time.>>2964283>I keep McDonald's and Burger King cups in my car to get free refills.They're probably dirty and not good for you. In fact, keeping up with your affinity for these brand sodas is a bad choice in the long run because if you'll lose the ability to get free refills you will have to cope and probably will be willing to spend money on these drinks.
>>2966079Guess I'll just have to not buy a car from your shitty dealer
I live in a Coleman camper like pic rel. I need to soundproof from a low pitch high volume noise. Would I install mass loaded vinyl in the outside and cover that with some material? What could I do?Unfortunately there are some budget concerns.
>>2965824>I live in a Coleman camper like pic rel. I used to live in a RV park for years and then noisy ass neighbours moved in next door, just had a loud dog, they slammed doors all the time, they yammered, and they stomped around as they walked. It was constant. I've had tons of neighbours but these people were intolerable.I just moved to my friend's back yard and started paying him rent instead.>Unfortunately there are some budget concerns.Give upBlocking low-pitch noise is as hard as it gets when soundproofing, and you can't do it on a budget.t. have built a quiet room that cost at least a couple thousand bucks
>>2965824Place it in the middle of nowhere where its nice and quiet.
Smoke meth before bedtimeYou can even make some and sell to fix your budget :D
>>2965824Guessing you don't want to rip out the interior? If you did that you could apply sound-deadener to inside of outer skin (Dynamat type) and add closed cell acoustic foam before panels go back up. You then need to deaden single-pane windows. You could make foam panels that sty on with velcro when needed. Of, you could move your trailer.
Are you unfamiliar with the noise insulation and vibration insulation of the car? Looks like a sheet of plasticine.
Generic 3-speed ceiling fan circa 80s or 90s makes buzzing noise at highest speed. I don't know what brand this is, I don't have a model number, but hopefully it's a similar enough widespread design.It makes excessive motor noise at the highest speed only. It sounds likely electric, like a buzzing, and it's definitely not the usual "motors just make noise" thing. It's something intrusively loud, and the noise seems to come and go some days, due to indeterminate factors.It's also not balanced, and is not grounded properly, but I don't know how likely that is to cause what I'm hearing.
>>2966103OP here.Actually, the grounding might be fine. It's mounted to grounded conduit, and only the ground wire isn't screwed down under the cap.
are you at all technically inclined? if so you can test the run capacitor with a multimeter that also tests capacitance (should be a black box with 2 to 5 wires coming out of it) 90% of the time the diagram of what values each capacitor should be
>>2966105>are you at all technically inclined?Yes, but I don't have a multimeter that can test capacitance. I'll have to get one, I guess.
Depending on the noise, it could be a failed bearing.
3d printing was supposed to be eventually in everyone's home. What happened?
>>2965686>>2965688Are you having a stroke? Not to mention you didn't even quote the post that I am assuming you were attempting to reply to...
>>2964660pricing out tools for a woodshop, and lets assume you aren't getting the crap you use to failure and rebuy, you are looking at 400-600 for drill, dremel, sander, circular saw, you would move up to around 800-1200 for table saw, personally would not get anything besides a saw stop, probably want to have at least one permanent work bench.some of this is going to be general purpose home tools that have a double use case, but realistically a lot of cost is going into the set up, then the recurring cost of buying wood, nails, tooling.normal 3d printer people would consider buying starts at 170-220 for beds longer on sale, or 250-400 for corexy on sale, 300 off sale 600 for the start of good core xy off sale.
>>2966158Exactly why I have no use for some 3d printing toy that will do everything worse than the tools I already have. If it is the only tool you can afford to slap in the corner of your apartment, then go for it man... If you don't already have a use for a drill press, table saw, welder, lathe, etc then yeah a 3d printer might be the precise fit for you.
>>2966158It's 50 bucks for a drill, 50 bucks for a dremel, you don't need a sander when you can get a file for 2 bucks and some sand paper. A hacksaw is more useful than a circular saw and only 10 bucks. As for the "cost" of wood, it's cheap as hell, tell me how much a roll of filament costs, and how much material you get out of it? Because it's sure as shit not going to beat the 3 dollar 2x4.
>>2956820For fabrication of goods for the average consumer its just easier and cheaper to just buy plastic doodads at the shops. You could of course save the time and fuel of going to the shops if you bought an expensive machine for making your plastic doodads, but you're going to the shop anyway for groceries so why bother?For prototyping, one-off things you designed for a very specific need, or just general tinkering, a 3d printer is a great tool. But its kinda like a biscuit joiner; has its uses, can do more things than you might initially think and biscuit joiner owners will be sure to tell you just how useful they are, but you're never going to see one in every workshop let alone every home.
