I have an old alarm clock on which I don't care for the old cord. I plan to replace it. The plug of the existing cord says "TAIHE TP18", which I'm interpreting as being an 18AWG cord. It's non-polarized.I bought this from Amazon:https://a.co/d/5z77LMxAnd plan to snip off the end and solder in the wire where the current one is.Here's my dumb question: is there any risk in this? It's my first time doing this. I've done a lot of electrical on my house but this type of thing is new to me.
no risk. Just proceed. I have a lot more delicate repair to do on a 'device' of greater antiquity. Clock will be easy-peasy.Polarization will not be important.

So, I have a bunch of antlers and I am trying to think of things I can do with them.They're only rather small roe antlers, but something should be done with them.HOWEVER, I don't want to do the usual stuff like clotheshooks, grips for things I don't actually need etc., and before I make toggles from them I wanted to ask if anyone has any other ideas.

I want to build a custom midi keyboard enclosure with a metal base plate and build my enclosure on top of that out of hardwood. The side panels would attach to the base plate with brackets while the front and back panel would sit directly on the metal base plateI want to find out how to achieve the necessary stiffness of the base plate so that it will support the 5kg heavy key mechanism+ the 3kg hardwood and not flex under the pressure of playing. Would a 1.5 mm stainless steel plate do the job if i would have it bent into an L shape so it forms the backside also or would i need to bend it into a U shape. If so, would the front and back side at 1cm and 3cm be high enough to yield the desired stiffness? Could a 1mm stainless steel U shape bent be enough already? Ideally i would want to have only an L shape bend so theres only wood visible in the front side..Picrel is the design im going for but only the keyboard part without the panel above with all the buttons. The dimensions of the base plate are 100cm x 24cm.If anyone has any other approaches they could recommend to achieve such a design it would be greatly appreciated.
>>2827751i never understood why moog went so nuts with this synth. i think something simple like the voyager is better. anyway, ignore me, just bumping the thread
>>2827866I'd go as thick as possible. It's about 2kg for every mm of thickness at that size, so figure out how heavy you can tolerate it and go from there.You'd need a heavy duty bead roller for anything above 1mm, but you'd also need a metal brake to get a clean bend on the long side. Either you're spending a lot on tools to make this one thing, you're paying a shop to make the plate, or you're doing a different design entirely. I'd probably just make the base out of plywood. If you need metal for grounding or shielding, use copper tape on the inside.
>>28277513mm steel plate would be fine.
>>2828901I would love to make things out of sheet metal but hate how you need to spend a million on specialized tools to make anything, especially anything curved
>>2827751Personally I think you need to approach the whole idea differently and not treat the wooden part as if it has no bearing on strength and stiffness and is just cosmetic.A shallow tray like you describe will work as a chassis but aluminum makes more sense...and rather than fabricating something from scratch there's all kinds of extrusions that can be combined to make very light but strong electronics chassis...some made just for that purpose (pic related) and others L and T shapes that can be adapted and screwed/epoxied to a flat sheet. There's Eurorack rail extrusions and enclosure systems that may also be worth looking at for ideas.Regardless of how you make the sides of a U shaped chassis tray there's no reason you can't apply the wood outside that vertical part and hide it, or bury the metal in a kerf cut in the wood.Integrated this way the wood can be a major source of structural stiffness, and not just decorating a chassis that does all the work.

Getting my crawl space spray foamed helped a lot. Wonder if spray foaming the roof rafters or foam boards in the attic will help. Have considered taking the vynle siding off to double insult too. Planting a wall between the house and the road will work neighbors that have a vegetation wall on a berm get the best results.

I've replaced a broken ribbon on my blinds and now I have to cut the loose end down a bit and fix it in place, so it doesn't slip out. The original ribbons have a fixed loop that this one doesn't have. I thought about stapling it together, but that will weaken the ribbon. Any better ideas?

>>2827922Why don't you ask temperature that question, doofus
>>2827922Assuming you have a central HVAC system controlled by a thermostat:Buy some thermostat wire.Remove the existing thermostat.Splice on to the ends of the existing thermostat wires.Extend thermostat wires to the room in question.Reinstall thermostat in that room.Now you have temperature control of your HVAC system based on the temperature of that room.All for the cost of like $10-$20 worth of low voltage wire.Assuming you don't have central HVAC:Install a dedicated HVAC system for that room. Like a window heat pump. Or a window mounted A/C plus a space heater.Probably a few hundred bucks?

Are air tools any good?
>>2827970ah yeah needle scalers are love. Especially for chipping 6011 slag! Also have a couple chipping hammers and a jack hammer that get pulled out once in a while. And a long reach floor scraper and long handled air tamper too. Also air impacts seem to hit harder and faster than electric impacts which is exactly what the Dr ordered sometimes in order to get a particularly stubborn fastener loose. Another couple favorite air tools of mine i just thought of are a handheld air vacuum. I adapt it to hydraulic reservoirs and pull a vac on them so i can pull the drain plug and replace it with a ball valve for no mess reservoir drains. I have even pulled hoses and parts off while the system is full of oil and quick-swapped them out without draining anything. And the air over hydraulic porta-power pumps that convert your shop air to 10,000 psi of hydraulic power. So cheap and so many uses!
>>2828030Yeah, you're going to be very hard pressed to get someone who is an A&P tinknocker to give up theirprized pneumatic rivet guns, and like you said, air hammers when you need them are the berries. As to impacts, I had a chance to play with a hydraulic impact wrench. Yeah, blows any air (and all electrics) out of the water but it needs a jackleg unless you want to be wearing a cast. And agreed, nothing beats a pressure/vac pot for general hydraulics fuckery. Especially if you're doing brake jobs all day, every day.

I'm having a hard time understanding the math behind DIY air purifiers. I bought a 592mm x 592mm F7 filter (pic related, similar to MERV 13) and put it over an 80cm long box with an axial fan pulling the air through it. Producer states it does >5200m3/h + max. 125Pawhile the filter itself has an "initial pressure drop" of>110PaIn general, the thing sort-of works. I can't keep it running indefinitely because it generates 62dB and the fan gets quite hot after an hour. It pulls dust particles of any size like 30cm away from the filter but barely attracts the visible shit beyond this range.What can I do to improve it? I was thinking F7 might generate too much resistance and should probably not use anything beyond coarse G4 filters with an axial fan but I'm still not sure how to max out the range. Is it high static pressure or large volume of air per hour that I should be looking for?
>>2828586>the max. operating temperature listed by the manufacturer is 60°C (or 40°C with RPM regulation)That's maximum *air temperature* the fan it specced to work in.>blows air in a very wide cone for some reason.Axial fans with restricted intakes tend to do that. The lower airflow results in the exhaust stream picking up significantly more sideways momentum than forward.Anyway, if you don't actually have specs for that filter, I'd go back to my initial suspicion of an axial fan not being enough. The low maximum pressure capability of axial fans inherently limits them to fairly coarse filters with low pressure drops. Anything else is going to be paired with a centrifugal blower. That's just suspicion, though, and it might be fine as-is. No real way to know unless you measure. An anemometer and manometer is cheap enough/diy-able.
>>2828591>That's maximum *air temperature* the fan it specced to work inOh shit, I'm a retard then. In that case it should be fine.I posted the filter specs earlier, it's supposed to be 110Pa when clean and it *does* work, somewhat. I see quite a bit of dust on the bottom of each pocket and the whole thing looks dirty. I guess I was just disappointed by the fact that it's infinitely better at kicking shit up with the exhaust air than pulling dust towards the filter. Still, having a fan blowing directly at the floor is probably a bad idea as it does a great job distributing floor dust all over my desk and shelves :|
>>2828586If the fan is getting too hot with the size (size as in density) filter you want, you may be able to slow it down as well. If we’re just talking about an indoor area like a room or even an apartment, it probably doesn’t need many air changes per hour to keep things clear, since you’re probably not going to be creating a ton of dust nonstop, or tracking in a ton of pollen all the time. I got a decent air purifier a few months ago, and it’ll run hard sometimes when I have the doors and windows open for an extended period, but after an hour or two it slows way down since it’s already got most everything cleared. Maintenance loads for indoor areas isn’t all that high, you many not need a very large air capacity since it’ll be running nonstop at a single speed.
>>2828604>it's supposed to be 110Pa when cleanAgain, that doesn't MEAN anything on its own. Pressure drop is velocity dependent.There won't be as much drop with lower air flows, and there will be more with higher flow.>it's infinitely better at kicking shit up with the exhaust air than pulling dust towards the filter.That's what you want. That's how it gets things into the filter. It will stabilize after a while. If it doesn't, you have some serious vacuuming/sweeping to do.Really, though, you're getting way too autismal about this without going all-in. Either call it good and let it do its thing, or get some measuring equipment, make some charts, and drag out your iteration process into a 15-minute YouTube video like normal.>>2828737>you may be able to slow it down as wellThat's liable to actually make it hotter. That's why the maximum working temperature spec is noted to be less "with RPM regulation".
Use more filters so the air can flow relatively freely. Use the fan to push air through the filters, not pull. And vacuum your shit before you try and clean your room with an air filter.
