Is there a good way to use one of these as a general purpose crane away from the truck, or some model that's made to do that? Some system designed to anchor and stabilize to either some second tripod or something in the environment?
>>2954417is the intended purpose not to haul things as big as the bed or even slightly bigger lets see it pick up 1000kg at twice the arm length to pick up a big piano or something when it dangles and swings and the thing risks bumping against the piston hindering the turning of the crank how much do these small trucks carry anyway i think it barely reaches 1500kgs on the good ones and how much of that weight is eaten by the crane who the hell cares about some boomers tow truck
>>2954340>now do something that is big and inconvenientThat's what I have loaders, forklifts, a telehandler, and actual crane trucks for... So no I don't think I will. I can see how normies might find it useful for certain scenarios though.

>>2953122Funny you should ask, I found myself needing to do this very thing a couple weeks ago. I happened to have a few I beam stands and I beams lying around, so I bolted those suckers together and put a hitch receiver on there. Two options: you could either use a really long I beam so that your center of mass stays inside. Or what I opted for was make something more conveniently sized then counterweight the daylight out of it. This works for me since I have a lot of heavy objects in my garage, and in the future when I plan to use this for moving stones there will be no shortage of heavy rocks lying around to user as counterweight. I didn't have any great pictures of it, but I'll take a picture tomorrow before I put it back in the shed.

Page 10, bumpNow that it's cold outside I'm focusing more on indoor projects, will post a few more things later this week though.
I live in a place with a lot of fossils, but boomers have already picked up almost everything decades ago. Is there a small and portable set of tools I could bring with me on my hikes to split open small rocks or break away parts of bigger ones?
>>2936692dekton or silestone? dekton looks better, but it seems too fragile.
Now that winter is starting to settle in I'll be focused more on inside projects for a while. But one of my next big stone projects is going to be building a stone bunker to serve as a turbine pit. I'm currently designing and building a piece of equipment that will rotate a 1 foot diameter component at 50,000RPM (picrelated). I'll be double checking those burst pressure calculations, but would rather not find out I was off by a factor of 10 or something the hard way. So current plan is-stone walls for exterior-stone walls for interior-dirt bags in between stone walls-steel I-beams for roof support-deck-planks to bridge gaps between I beams-dirt bags on roofGoal is to maximize blast protection per $ spent without looking like WW1 warzone. I considered things such as felling trees and even unironically free pallets, but quickly came to the conclusion the latter was too labor intensive. So if anyone has other ideas I'm interested.I realize I could probably start a new thread, but have a feeling it would get derailed quickly.
3d printing was supposed to be eventually in everyone's home. What happened?
>>2958986>>2959207He's printing prototypes before sending them for production, I hope at least because that part geometry makes no sense for 3d printing. People don't seem to understand that ribs and lightening cutouts make 3d printed parts weaker.
>>2959296>lightening cutouts make 3d printed parts weaker.No, that's wrong. The problem is that it actually wastes more material, since it means more outer shells.Making the model solid will actually be lighter unless you use 100% infill.
>>2959296im not sending anything anywhere"industrial part" doesnt mean I sell my parts to any industryI do experimental automation projects with a robot and some electronics, to increase productivityI need quick solutions to not get bottlenecked by some tool, so I can spend more time on the IT side. This tool in particular is more than strong enough for what it does and if it fails I have 3 backups on a shelf (a hard collision is basically impossible in the setup).If down the line the company wants to design, cut and weld/assemble an aluminum version, its not my decision. Regardless of strenght, it interacts with several metal parts that need easy access to bolt and unbolt if im switching tools, accessibility is the main priority of the design. 2nd priority is keeping volume down to not hit bin walls when picking (its a gripper)That is the perfect use case for 3d printing that i am defending against the morons in this thread saying its for toys, or those who say there are no plug and play printers (LMAO)That being said I have little exp with 3dprinting so Im interested to know, if anyone have the expertise, how you would design it.

Noob here that needs help identifying the polarity of this capacitor. It's a replacement part for my dryer. pls sars i need de needful
More often than not the wires will be the same color. Obviously meaning polarity is a nonissue Since you’re a newb I’d suggest not fucking with capacitors Thank me later….
>>2959332Safety CapacitorX1/Y2 capacitors are safety-certified components designed for use in applications where electrical shock or fire hazards must be mitigated. They are suitable for both "line-to-line" (X rating) and "line-to-ground" (Y rating) applications. This dual rating makes them versatile for filtering interference and protecting electronic equipment. Key characteristics of X1/Y2 capacitors:Safety Standards: They are certified to meet international safety standards such as IEC60384-14 and UL60950-1. Failure Mode: Unlike standard capacitors, X1/Y2 capacitors are designed to fail in an open state when subjected to a power surge, preventing short circuits that could lead to fires or shocks. Applications: Commonly used in power supplies, LED lighting, telecommunication equipment, and for lightning and surge protection. Dual Rating: The "X1" rating indicates a higher impulse voltage tolerance for line-to-line applications, while the "Y2" rating is for line-to-ground applications. A Y-rated capacitor can often be used in place of an X-rated one if its voltage rating is sufficient.Many YouTube videos and web info on safety capacitors.

Where can I find a decent kit for mounting an antenna to a chimney?Because I can't find anything that doesn't use the same exact stock image copy and pasted over and over again, with reportedly varying quality, and almost none of them even contain shims or plates for the corners of the chimney.I would've used pic related t-style brackets, but any listing I've found of this doesn't even have a way to tighten the steel straps to the chimneys.
>>2959349It's a really big TV antenna I need it to support.
>>2959212Unistrut sandwich?
>>2959375I don't know if this can be better tightened than steel straps to the chimney without it sliding around or damaging the chimney.
>>2959383>damaging the chimney.That's the bigger risk IMO. I've never had a real brick chimney so I couldn't tell you
>>2959386It might even be easier to just buy steel strapping tools, all my neighbors appear to have their antennas attached to their chimneys with steel straps anyway, and some setups are over 50 years old.You know why I can't find brackets with ratchets built in? My guess is there was probably one company that had a patent for them, and they're probably out of business now.

Twenty years ago, I was a kid and wrote a bunch of mean shit on the walls of my relative. It still existed - and upto this day, and I just learned that you can remove paint/old shit from your walls by applying toothpaste and perfume along with soap onto the affected area, and rubbing it with a great intensity with four fingers. Just thought this would be useful in case anybody encountered my issue. I'm a fucking adult today, and I wouldn't want anybody walking into the room and reacting to it like what'd happened to me. Godspeed.
>>2955943>big drywall HATES this trick
>>2955943Which kind of perfume, does it actually matter?If it doesn't, then is it just really the alcohol or whatever solvent that's in it that matters? You could probably buy that separately.
>>2958069>big paint HATES this trick
>>2959217that was my thought. alcohol being wetter than water lifts toothpaste is a abrasive and the soap binds oils.>>2955963that would be nice humans do not have the ability to sense wetness some animals do, bet you'd be more concerned about cohesive strength decline of water. its drowning insects that before could swim out of raindrops.

I have slightly overfilled the oil on my car, how would you go about draining only a slight bit of it? Remove the oil filter and drain it a couple of times?>pic related
>>2958994the excess will burn offtoo high a level of oil in the pan splashes extra oil on the cylinder walls, which overcomes the designed oil flow capability of the rings, which means extra oil is left behind on the cylinder walls as the piston moves downwards. This extra oil is then exposed to the combustion of the fuel charge, and it becomes smoke and goes out the tailpipe. The extra carbon residue may darken your oil a little prematurely, but it's not worth changing your oil change schedule over.
>>2958994thats nothing. dipsticks vary in length more than thati bought a b5.5 passat a bunch of years back to commute in and the 1st oil change it took 2 pans to drain. so i check the book and it says 5.3qt or something and i put it in and its not even on the stick. wtf? so i think for a minute and then look at a yootoob and the finger pull on the vid stick is completely different. somebody had put a wrong dipstick in it at an unknown previous point. i ordered a new oem one and it was like 2.5" longer than what was in it. that engine had been chugging along just fine with like 3 extra qts of oil. and the milage went up about 4mpg from the reduced windage
>>2959020This. That’s nothing. Start the engine and check it after shutting the car off and you’ll be at “full” with some oil spread around.Or go hot rod it and try to brapp off some oil

When I try to remove severed bolts using a regular drill bit and bolt extractor, it almost never works. It only works like 1 out of 10 times if I’m lucky.Do left drill hand drill bits work? How many times out of 10 would you estimate does it work?
>>2957161>They drill holes when you can't use a right-hand bit for whatever reason.Name one reason you couldn't use a right hand twist bit and could instead use a left hand twist bit. They are sold specifically for removing broken off bolts.

Chat I want to build a high pressure high temperature water sprayer to use for washing dishes in a way that uses as little water as possible.I have a cabin in the woods which has no sink or plumbing etc so I just haul in water and for a while I just use paper plates and stuff but generating so much trash is retarded.Does it sound like the best way? Like a 7 holed spray nozzle at 150psi and 70c water temp or so is what I was thinking, around the 6L/m mark but if only need a few seconds to spray off the debris and then scrub it and spray another couple seconds idk. Does that sound reasonable? For the hot water I was thinking about building my own instant hot water heating system or just buying one. Also how can I store some water without it going bad?
>>2953706This guy knows what he's talking about.OP, what you're describing is a dishwasher. You won't be able to beat dishwashers at their own game. I can think of a couple of really difficult ways you might improve on it in theory as long as you use all the tricks they already use, but if you could implement these ideas you'd be working in dishwasher R&D.>>2953754>use a pressure washer, don't use a bitchy little 150psi pump>I plumbed in a pressure washer to my kitchen, with a custom "wand">my pressure washer was 1800 psi which was overkillThis is so funny. Please tell me there are pictures or a video of this. I would love to see it.
if you soak the dirty dishes in water for ten minutes or so, the food stuck to them gets soft and you can rinse it right off with just the faucet. I have a system where I can not do dishes for months at a time, and they never stink or mold. You just have to A) rinse the food off and B) turn everything upside down so it doesn't hold water. I once didn't do dishes for 6 months this way. It takes a two basin sink though, one stays empty for hand washing and the rinse of the dirty dish. When a dish has dried food I fill it with water and leave it in the empty basin until next time I make coffee or whatever, then rinse the softened food off and put it in the dirty side. When I run out of dishes, everything goes in the dishwasher.Yes I wash dishes before they go in the dishwasher, once you get the light gray powder stuff growing in the water passages it gets on everything, and there's no cleaning it out, you have to buy a new dishwasher to get clean dishes again.
i am setting up my water system for the winter so I have flushing toilets275 tote, buriedshallow water well pumpnormally closed float switch in sprayer tank inside house that triggers in tank pumprv pump, accumulator tank after atv tank, cold side to taps and toilet, hot side to tankless water heater then hot tapsas long as big pump will put push rv pump I should have inifinite showers, and this way when in house tank is full the water line from the tote will drain all the way back down emptying the line to keep it unfrozenaquarium pump will circulate the 25 gallon tank. Roughly $500, including the hot water heater.
I always figured some kind of steaming system would be the idea dish washer. I've recently learned that laboratory autoclaves are basically just that, but with pressure to increase the temperature.

Absolutely NOT a "tech guy". 45y/o tradeworker, left off at DOS & Qbasic in '93. Found some 2016 tech during eviction remodel: 2016 Galaxy Tab-A and 2016 HP Stream 11. Do not be fooled; all the "tekkie lingo", specs and processes I will be citing are new to me, learned over the course of these projects. I knew absolutely fuck-all about it before I started.SM-T580 tablet has 2gb ram. when found, it was running Android Oreo. slow as shit and no storage space for anything. I could surf the web and shitpost on Chan, but had no space for memes, Pepes and/or videos. did lots of research and relied on Grok for a fair amount of process. that said, NOTHING was easy aboot this... for me. I found the tablet and craptop last December. tablet has been in a bedside table since it had no storage and was too slow to be of practical use. I will try to outline the entire 2 day ordeal (15 fucking hours) as succinct and condensed as possible. I found a 32GB micro SDHC card while tearing oot the carpet & padding in a remodel. my first thought was "COOL! I can double the eMMC storage on my Linux Stream Craptop!" however, after a quick discussion with Grok, I decided my first use of it would be to flash a new OS onto the Samsung Tablet. did a little research into available OS options and learned aboot the basic hardware/software that operates little phones, tablets, etc. quite different from "regular" computers, it turns oot. Decided on "LineageOS" for what is essentially a clone of Android 13 but with full current patch and security support. I found the Lineage file on some website, perhaps Github, unsure exactly where. I was also told that I needed to I stall "MindTheGapps" to access Google app store and run anything other than basic web browser on it. I started my questionable journey at 8:00 Saturday morning. I wrote the aforementioned files onto SD then connected tablet to craptop via USB data cable, which I used to install something called TWRP by "TeamWin".

since this post came back from the dead, I'll update with my latest freebie score: FINTIE folio keyboard folio FREE from Amazon Vine. it's not for my exact model, so the tablet clamp brackets are ~1mm too wide, but it has a mediocre magnetic hold and I added two 2cm squares of velcro tape on one side, then just use the clamp brackets on the other side with a bit of added magnetic assist. works perfect. no one would ever notice its not an exact match. camera cutout does not line up, but whatever... I can pop the tablet out in .2 seconds and I rarely take photos with it anyway. The Bluetooth keyboard works perfect.perfect timing for zombie post to come shambling back to page 1, since the folio protective case and keyboard arrived tonight.as for>>2957247that's fine. we are 90% debt free. we only owe $75k on our mortgage. when that's paid off, I'm scaling back.

Does anyone here have any Parkside performance power tools? They came up with this little 20v kit of drill, impact drive recip saw, two 4ah batteries and charger for like 180€ and honestly seems plenty for sparse /diy/.
