You're basically looking for the Slant 3D of wherever the fuck. That's literally their business model.
>>
>>2946641
As far as I know Slant 3d basically just does only the print. Not really any post processing or installing additional components. Im just looking for someone in that $5-20k a year range where their parts need additional materials like bearings or screws and we basically just swap stls and send each other a check every month. Haven't thought too much into it, but it would be nice to get a little boost without having to experiment with new product design.
>>
>>2946644
why wouldn't they just take your stl and sell it themselves?
>>
>>2946652
I suppose they could, but I would be wanting their STLs in return to sell on the U.S. amazon market. We really wouldn't even be competing since our markets are basically walled off from each other. I sell a few products internationally every once in a while, but if my product was produced internationally it would probably get 50 sales a month in that region vs 1, and vice versa.

Practicing for flat stainless flux but I don’t understand the heat thing.
I’ve heard two berry different things. One is that the stainless turning dark purple causes it to go brittle and it will just crumble during a bend test. The other is that the only thing heat does to stainless is cause the chromium to oxidize which will mean it looses its corrosion resistance, but won’t affect destructive testing

Last day before the big test

Hi, I'm a beginner and was good at woodworking in school, but unfortunately moved to a school without a shop when I was 15. Since then I have been pretty crafty and built and made all sorts of things, but never had the space for a shop.

...until now!

While I'm still pretty limited in terms of budget, I have a nice space and some tools. Main ones being circular saw and a drill. I can afford to buy some more hand tools but not a table saw quite yet.

I want to eventually build some furniture (like picrel, it's made from acacia wdyt?), but first I suppose I need to build a workbench. Any ideas on what someone in my situation could build?

Another question I have about masonry heaters is whether it is possible to have BOTH an oven AND a cooktop in a single heater.
All the pictures I've seen, it's either one or the other, never both. If there are both, they're powered by different stoves/fires.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the Stillson and Swedish pipe wrench designs? What do you prefer, or what do you prefer for what tasks?

>>2943206
Get a good bite with the Ridgid and there’s no handles to squeeze so you can cheater bar that bitch on real stubborn stuff.
>>
>>2943206
>Interesting, but when and why would you opt for an American/Ridgid versus Swedish/Knipex/Bahco?
The American/Ridgid style pipe wrenches are just a basic solid tool, made for biting into a pipe like a rabid bit bull.
The wrenches can also be used on square and hex fasteners, but were designed for round soft pipe.
You adjust the size, put the wrench on in the right direction, and the wrench jaws just bite into the pipe.
As >>2943262 said the simple handle is good for cheater pipes.

The Bahco Design is basically a “plier” type wrench, and can be used as pliers in a pinch.
The Swedish type has two handles though, which you have to squeeze together to use, at least initially, making the design not as basic and quick in use.
The handles can also flop apart if you fail to hold both in use, and Bahco used yo, and may still, sell an accessory to hold the handles closer together to prevent the problem.

I would saw the Bahco version is lighter than the American design, but with Aluminum handles as an option, that may no longer be the case.
The Swedish wrenches may be narrower, which can be helpful in certain situations, but also may provide slightly less grip.
Basically, Bahco is slightly more versatile in use, Ridgid is simpler to use once the jaw is adjusted to the right opening size.
Also, you can buy every single part for the Ridgid style wrenches as replacement parts, and most brands making the Ridgid style wrenches use compatible parts, with the possible exception of MCC of Japan, which uses a varied design on some series of their “American Style” wrenches.
>>
Harbor freight has the cheapest large pipe wrenches. I'm not a full time plumber so good enough.
>>
>>2943262
Incidentally I have similar thoughts about traditional adjustable wrenches, I see people saying they're obsolete thanks to plier wrenches all the time but having to squeeze the handles really limits how much torque you can put into the tool, working at weird angles or in confined spaces, etc.
>>
You don't have to squeeze the handles once you get a bite. You can just nearly use Swedish pipe wrenches exactly like the American ones, except the Swedish wrenches can be used in really absurd or awkward angles.

The keyword here is nearly. They're just simply, at least, a little bit more finicky to use with two of them. I don't know how Europeans use them so regularly, and there's practically no good media online showing them off correctly

I recently moved to a new room in my house, and I'm assaulted by these very tiny spiders, all day and night. They come down from the 20' open ceiling, from the lights, from the fan, from the floorboards, fucking everywhere. I can't stop them with simple means or sprays. I currently have 2 electric diffusers running with peppermint and lavender oil, but I fear it will do nothing.
I'm thinking of taking kill-on-contact spider spray, and mixing with water in diffusers. I know they make outlawed vapor bombs that kill flies, but I couldn't find anything similar for spiders. Essential oils only repel, not kill, and they don't seem reliable. Could I put a type of spider poison pellet in water and smoke out the whole room? I'm open for any ideas that actually work, that won't kill or poison me in the process.
Yellow sac spiders, and cellar spiders are the bane of my existence.
>alpine does nothing, they come from all angles, not just the ground. I cannot safely spray Alpine on the ceiling, it will dry and flake off onto me. I use 15% concentration, and I haven't actually seen it kill a single spider or stop their flow yet.
>spraying them directly also does not kill them, somehow
>spraying them with peppermint oil directly or in corners does nothing, they come right back
>orange extract spray does nothing
>"de-cluttering" does nothing, they drop down on single threads from the ceiling directly onto my head.
>the ceiling fan does little, they drop down and ride the airwaves and get flung in all sorts of directions
>sonic emitters have done nothing so far

Fogbombing is my last case resort. I don't want it leaving the room weird and poisony. It may also not reach the furthest reaches of the corners they're spawning from.

I had spider problems for a couple years after I moved into my house. Removing and trimming trees that overhung the roof as well as professional pest treatment around the outside cut down dramatically on the spiders I saw inside.
For the ones already inside, I used glue dot traps like pic related, set them in corners and underneath things.
I think if you focus on only the spiders you see in front of you, you're treating a symptom.
>>
>>2945878
You need diatomaceous earth to figure out where they're getting in predominantly then using a researched pest growth regulator in a sensible fashion, like the other guy said, cut back relevant trees if needed.

Boys (girls, middle genders, etc), I found this cool lamp but I have no idea what this socket is. ChatGPT suggested a few options, they are all bullshit, and I would absolutely hate to replace the socket.

Help me identify this socket so I can get this lamp running.

The center circle opening is 10mm in diameter, the rest of it is 1/4" wide. The socket itself is 1" in diameter. Side slits are 5/8" x 1/8"

>>
>>2945820
first google result "Solid copper wire is superior to copper-coated aluminum wire for most applications due to its better electrical conductivity, higher durability, and greater resistance to heat and breakage, which are essential for safe and reliable signal transmission, especially in high-demand applications like Power over Ethernet (PoE) and long-distance data cabling. While CCA is cheaper, its aluminum core makes it more brittle, more prone to failure, and incapable of meeting industry standards for Ethernet and PoE, making solid copper the preferred, higher-quality choice."

aluminium inside will fall apart after 20..50 years causing higher resistance and very much house fires. >2.5mm^2 solid core copper is a pain in the ass to install, but at least it will not break apart like a copper wire after just 3 turns. also copper oxide is green, which can be easy to inspect, while aluminum oxide is white, which is harder to see on a gray metallic surface.

No hablo mucho español: tienes de traducir este.
Try it if you want to get into it. Make sure all of your components are compatible before buying all the parts.
You’ll need a case, power supply unit, motherboard, cooling unit (usually a fan), CPU, GPU, RAM module or modules, and the peripherals like a monitor and mouse.
Of course you will need a screwdriver and basic tools too.
I thought about doing this when I was younger but I just found it easier to buy one and direct the rest of my free time at something more productive (but still fun).

So, together with a friend, we have decided to make our own console for fun and giggles. This surely is an undertaking but this is an idea we were considering for a long time and as we got more and more experienced with circuits, embedded programming, 3d printing and stuff like that, I feel like it would be finally in our reach.

I never really looked at other people's similar projects, I have no idea what I'm doing honestly, but I can write code and I can use google so I think we will figure it out and get there eventually.

I will post our progress in this thread.

While that design doesn't specifically have it installed, you just need to rewire in the bluetooth module from the original board and hotglue two IR leds in the case. Yeah you'd need a separate wii control for it but this mod is specific for gamecube games. Also I think there are software options to map motion controls to the sticks. Pick your poison I guess.

Ah, I see. I thought you were still trying to find some way to make the project worthwhile, but that was my misunderstanding.
I agree that this is a pointless project. The kind of thing you do for the sake of doing it.
>But at what point does it all just become an excessive amount of shit?

Back to square one(0-indexed).
I got I2S driver to do what I needed and rewrote everything to no-std.
Now it's time to port the lua vm to no-std.
Pic related is current, improved communication with the touch screen. Since I got oscilloscope hooked I also checked how did the previous one perform and I have no idea how did it even work. It completely shit on the protocol, yet somehow managed to work by pure chance. No wonder why I was getting sort of noise in position, it is so much more precise now. Not that I will even be needing touch screen much but it's still nice to see things work properly.

And it's done. It took me way less time than I expected. It turned out that someone has already been working on a no_std PR some time ago and it was just manner of rebasing it to newest changes.
Since I already had interface for pico8 prepared for the test native emulator, it only took a little wrestling with psram to just get it running on the chip.
Now it's time to implement rest of pico8 api.
>>
Bump because progress.

Not much to show off visually right now.
Pico-8 uses fixed point Q16.16 math and to make the emulation accurate I will have to change the lua interpreter to do the same. I could probably just use some general purpose fixed point library, but I decided to roll my own code since I want to try some interesting trig approximations I have seen recently. So far I managed to write/wrap integer-style math methods. Trigs, pows, logs, etc will come next.

In the meantime I also wrote script to embed Pico-8 system font in the code and support for in-memory custom fonts. There isn't any way to see them until I implement print() function though.
