When I was 16 I tried to shell swap a New 3DS XL with no prior experience tinkering with consoles, and fucked it up really bad. So for the past 2 years it’s been sitting in a plastic box while I wait to find somebody competent who can fix it, anyways I’ve been using another one since then and was wondering if there are any strange projects that could be done with the old one (besides growing a pair and fixing it myself). Any suggestions?
>>2996187All my boards and printers are old and diy’ed so I’ll defer to the chatbot I guess. Only other thing I’d try off the top of my head is to stick a multimeter on the touch and make sure it’s actually working. Have you tried it with Marlin?
>>2996191with marlin it works fine.
i am such a retard. this isn't the 3dpg thread.
>>2996200After cooking enough of my own hardware over the years personally I’d try and exhaust any firmware options before making hardware/wiring changes. I’m just one retard however, better to consult the general for the consensus.With regards to the actual thread, I have no ideas OP. Sorry.
>>2990609Idk what you broke (was it a ribbon cable or something?), you should absolutely fix it. I recently did a top screen swap on my gf's new 3ds xl top screen, which had been shattered. This was the absolute cream-of-the-crop no bullshit best guide I was able to find for the console: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xo-MjlE3PcAGood luck to you on doing the shell swap. And whatever you broke, you can most likely order a replacement part off ebay. Make sure that the listing description specifies that it is meant for the *New* 3ds XL and not the old one. Go Slow As Hell. Do not use excess force. If you find yourself getting even FAINTLY frustrated with the process at any point, put down the project and walk it off. You must stay steady and calm and keep a clear head, or else you WILL break something.
I want to paint a white car pink for a video, but only for a day. /o/ tourist here.Taking into account that i have everything to do a paintjob, is there a kind of paint that is washable? That i can paint it and wash it tomorrow?
>>2995499Sugar and red food coloring, just super saturated water and lightly spray on your tint if u can get a super fine spray
>>2995536>>2995540Thank you so much for your ideas! I looked into plastidip and it looks amazing! Do they sell it only ib rattle cans, thouh? I wanted to use my paintgun and compressor.Also i will try tempera paint in a white painted surface before and also dowhat >>2995548 suggested
>>2995499Are you retarded? Download davinci resolve and watch one of the 9000 color change tutorials out there.
Although people may want to fuck with you, plastidip is not a good idea. If it spatters or goes on too thin it does not come off easily. Will be a real PITA to remove and will get in all sorts of gaps and hard to reach spaces ruining the car.Tempera paint where it washes off with water might be your best bet, isnt that what high school girls decorate their cars with?And lol especially these days software would do great especially starting with a white car.You can also rent a car in the color you want.
>>2995499gay for a day? attending the pride parade with a rental car?
I have a one-year-old Toro SmartStow front-wheel-drive push mower.When I was mowing earlier today, the front wheel drive just stopped. So, I took off the top and bottom covers and inspected the drive belt and pulley. The pulley was initially stuck, but I was able to get it to move again. The drive belt is fine and shows very little wear.The front wheels do not move when engaging the transmission. They do spin when I manually spin them with my hands, but I haven't taken the wheels off to see if the teeth on the wheels and the gear are connected.Is there a chance the gearbox is hosed? I've worked on these mowers for a few years now, but I have taken the gearbox off and inspected one. I do have an AP protection plan on it, and it's valid, so if push comes to shove, I can just get it replaced, but I hate just throwing out a mower.Anyway, thanks.

>buy $30k of WUI class A compliant Timbertech PVC decking over wildfire concerns>It retains every drop of rain and the water just sits there all day in a puddle unless you broom it offIs this fucking seriously real? Are they too stupid to put a crown on the boards so that they don't do this? Am I doomed to brush water off the deck every time it rains now?
>>2995063That's the fire prevention retard
>>2995063so you bought plastic decking and wonder why it isn't sucking up water
>>2995565this is what i have>>2995063why are commies afraid of rain?does it freeze every night in yourshithole?
>>2995063A slightly convex top isn't going to bead off all that water.You didn't build right for whatever rainville you live in.
The solution is to build a roof over your deck.
Basically, I want something like picrel that can fold in half for storage and transport. Recessed play surface, skirt rails for accessories, dining table cover, etc. There are some offerings online (and I've seen some diy solutions), but they all seem to fail on at least one point.In any case, what is the best way to handle the legs? I'm mainly concerned with maintaining rigidity in the center section. I don't want it to sag or wobble significantly in the center.
>>2995749retard fucking spastic go buy the first result from amazon cretinous nigger

I am looking to pivot my career and become and electrical engineer.my current background is Windows Administration.I know enough about electricity to wire in stuff, and do basic electrical work, but I dont know all the terminology or US code.I cannot afford to go to school for this, is there a way I can start doing an apprenticeship with a client and learn on the job and eventually get certified?Where do I start?
>>2995766Just get into PLCs
>>2995863Electricians and electrical engineers are two completely different fields. Working one job at any level does not make you qualified to do the other.
>>2995903>stay clean cutthis is why I like IT. can't keep my ass crack length hair and neckbeard if I get a normal job.
>>2995989This is correct. They are completely different jobs.t. EE
>>2995863these are very different fieldssticking up wires in some building and following code will not get your foot in the door designing circuits nor writing firmware, and vice versaif you want to become an engineer focus on that, but everything you've mentioned so far is only electrician work and an electrical engineer will not do any of it>>2995820some jobs are fine with just an impressive portfolio/work history but the degree path is significantly easier
I have a reel-to-reel tape recorder which had one of its reel shafts hit during the transportation and now the thread fot its reel tightening cap is off-center as a result. It doesn't cause problems with operation or reel tightening, but is not very pleasant to look at. How can i fix this without compromising th reel's integrity?
>>2995776torch and vise lmao
>>2995780>can be taken off the motor shaftSo that central threaded part is actually the motor shaft? That could be a problem, since it could require replacing the motor. Or disassembling it.I'd need to see what the internal part of that threaded piece looks like. Straightening might be out of the question. If you are lucky and there's enough straight motor shaft left, a good machinist might be able to make a new front part, center bore and tap it and affix it to the (unbent) motor shaft, cut off.
>>2996042>So that central threaded part is actually the motor shaft?The entire reel slips off the motor shaft, fortunately. Threaded part is a part of the detachable reel, the motor shaft itself is good.Internally it looks like this and the shaft does not enter the threaded bit (+ a drawing)
>>2996063Good. If you can figure out how the bent threaded bit is fit into the reel, maybe it comes out easily. Maybe a couple of jam nuts on the thread to get a grip on it and it unscrews. Tape around the reel so pipe wrench doesn't mar it. Then take bent part to a machinist and ask to have a straight one made. Looks like nothing more than a bolt with a centered female thread down the middle. Simple project on a lathe.
>>2996068One thing I noticed: The reel might be made of two pieces. There are three little cam pieces visible on the back side, lower left frame of >>2996063 Some red loktite holding them in place. There may be screw heads (hex, whatever) accessible from the deep holes from the front side. Make sure these don't hold anything important together before going gorilla with the pipe wrench. OTOH, they might have something to do with the reel brake (pic just above) and don't need fiddling with.
Seriously, why didn't sv seeker make a small dinghie and spend the rest of his retirement or whatever chilling out on it? He could've spend that money on a cool dinghie collection.
What would it take to make a railboat? Surely they aren't going to be a moneypit, right?
>>2994669Don't worry about a soulless scammer. I'm not surprised that youtube considers him a grifter.>>2994673I occasionally check into that SVSeeker_Free subreddit to get updates and get a good laugh. Crazy fucker cost me a bet. I thought for sure he'd sink within the first 6 months of being out in open water. I'm amazed he made it through a hurricane season.
Driftin' and griftin'.
>>2995100>sail that can't tackwouldn't be hard to make but you can only go in the direction the wind is blowing
>>2996017I take that back, you can't go perpendicular to the wind, but not against it at all
Which variant in pic related to you think is more sturdy? Trying to build an outdoor layout for a model train
>>2995602Unless it's one of those trains you can sit on, it probably doesn't matter. Generally putting beams directly on top of posts is sturdier than bolting/screwing them in from the side though.
>>2995602If the force is going straight down, B will be stronger.
>>2995615> Generally putting beams directly on top of posts is sturdier than bolting/screwing them in from the sideAgreed. I was always taught that fasteners are for holding the wood together, not supporting the loads. Ideally, you notch out the beams so the full width and height of the joist can sit in the notch and fasten them together.
>>2995602Another consideration other than sturdiness comes to mind (especially since you're setting up an outdoor layout); expansion and contraction. If your supports expand the wrong way, you could buckle the track and force a derail. I would think a design somewhere in between A and B would be what you want (with your 2x4 track supports floating on top of the 2x8x8s).
I just need somewhere to store some stuff, vinegar, baking soda, canned food, etc. it doesn't have to be huge but it shouldn't be tiny, I can spend maybe $200 or so but I don't know what to get and I've never used Temu before
>>2995009>vinegar, baking sodaYou gonna store these together? Your little plastic shed is gonna blow up!
>>2995280Yeah I'm building a 10x10 shed and a 10x20 shed. My mom has just been going to a food bank a lot and picking up dry goods and I am currently in a camper with no space so a plastic shed would be an easy solution but I think a total of 300sqft might be enough storage, though I'd prefer not to crammed together with a bunch of food.>>2995306I just create my own cleaning materials with alcohol, baking soda, vinegar, etc. I want to fully stock up with my EBT card and never have to leave my land for like 10 years while I finish my game.
order the shed.vikings and japs had rat problems; food storage sheds were on raised platform, japs also used rice as a desiccant to store food. you will want an overhang to prevent climbing creatures, i recommend building a deck and painting it with the cheapest paint you can find. three steps is comfortable, something about same foot leaves the ground as enters the building, a comfortable step has a rise + run = 15 inches.

Anyone tried this? I use cordless saw around the house but sometimes have to cut large amount of wood while being stationary so I thought that maybe combining a laptop power supply and hacking an old battery could do the trick? There is nothing like this anywhere which is obvious profit tactic to make you buy more batteries but I don't always need to be cordless dammit and the batteries don't last long
>>2995434>There is nothing like this anywhere which is obvious profit tactic to make you buy more batteries but I don't always need to be cordless dammit and the batteries don't last longI looked into this about 10 years ago and was surprised it did not exist, even DIY versions. It is the AC vs DC and electronics/battery management that is the issue, not a conspiracy, unfortunately.
>>2995623>>2995649>just buy more things goy
>>2995775Sorry Chang, I think he said stop buying chingpingming batteries.
I just solved your problem OP
>>2995775listen poltard. I'm the guy in the above pics making all the cordless tools corded. the simple fact is that making cordless tools corded is impractical unless you can get all the bits and bobs free. I do it for fun and for no other reason.
I want to build a heater system for my wife's clawfoot. Safety is paramount, so no 120v pumps or heating elements in the tub. that rules out livestock tank heaters and submersible pond pumps. I will need a small tank with a self-contained heating element and a siphon type pump. all components must be wired outside of the tub.as for the heating tank; a 3 gallon RV type water heater could work, so long as it can run on 120v instead of 240v. power source is a standard GFCI outlet just behind the water valve tower. her ciclid tank uses a Fluval canister pump that siphons from the tank and has a return hose. however, i watch her swear and fight with it every time she cleans it. she then has to manually hand-pump prime it afterwards. were talking 10-15 mins of lifing/pumping a small oil-dipstick-looking thing, sometimes resulting in blisters on her finger. thats not a good way to start a relaxing soak session.i have already shopped for pre-made kit or setup. I can't find anything. I found one mfgr with one full-function jacuzzi clawfoot. had I found this 4 years ago i *might* have sprung for it, but it was 2x the price of picrel and we were already stretched thin on the construction budget. it is only 3 years old, installed and paid for.OK, Anon... let's brainstorm.
A drain bypass valve to recirculate existing bath water, inline hot water heater.
why not take the opportunity to do a little remodel and get a proper jacuzzi with a heater and jetshttps://www.homedepot.com/p/341781988yeah, it's more money than some random pipes and pumps cobbled together but it's far nicer in the long term
>>2994805>she likes to soak for an hour or longer. I want to maintain the temperature a little longer.Insulating would probably be enough, if not I would try placing a radiator underneath the tub.
>>2994805>It coolsHmm...https://www.liquidimageco.com/do-clawfoot-tubs-hold-heat/>The answer to this question is yes. Clawfoot tubs are designed to retain heat, and are a great choice for those looking for a relaxing soak in a warm bath. The enamel surface and heavy cast iron construction of the tub help to maintain the heat of the water inside for extended periods of time.>Additionally, the shape of the tub helps keep warm air in, making it more efficient at holding heat. If you’re looking for an extended hot bath, a clawfoot tub is a great choice.Either way:>Ceramic coatingWorks for exhaust pipes, should work for a bathtub
Whoever suggested to me checking the lever drain stopper, thank you. That was the issue.
I need a threaded handle for a project. Pic related would probably work fine but I would prefer a fatter grip. Are there any comparably priced "commodity" parts that I should be searching for? Something like a bicycle handle grip would be great... but they're not threaded. The thread diameter isn't critical, anything over 8mm (inch or metric) would be fine. Thread depth needs to be at least 15mm (or 5/8" depth.)
>>2995709Older bicycle handles are 1” inner, if you can find some thick walled 1” OD tube/pipe and the right washer you could just put a bolt through. Or buy a 25mm ptfe bushing (pretty common with M8 hole) and put some tape around it
I'm planning to DIY this vertical solar wall 90ft wide and 24 ft tall. 30 ft I beams will be lifted into the excavation holes and the foundation piles will be poured around them. I think the hardest part of the construction will be the erection of the columns in a way that is perfectly planar. Solar panels aren't very tolerant of bending stress so I need them to be planar within a 1/4 inch more or less. I am thinking to install scaffolding opposite the crane truck position so that I can reach the entire I-beam area from top to bottom. But the challenge remains getting those beams perfectly in plane . The I beams will be prefabricated with bolt holes for the horizontal support rails. The horizontal support rails will be HSS steel with bolting plates set at each column . They come in 20' lengths and 10' lengths .So I am thinking at the very least, I can bolt the HSS to the I beams to provide substantial alignment. I also have a builders scope level. Just posting here about it to see if anyone here has experience in this matter. Anyone have advice? Will post more details.
Studies have proven that panels laying flat but elevated on cloudy and winter days have the best production result when using bifacial panels.Just do that if you only plan on relying on these in winter otherwise you will need to adjust the angle. Vertical only works best facing south on clear days in winter
>>2995532Snow would just cover and ice them up if you laid em flat nigga
>>2995405>I don't have many areas around that are both flat and sun exposed I'd still try to distribute it in your place. It doesn't even have to be flat if you are only working with single panel height, you can make groups of 3-5 panels with varied height. >>2995525Certainly better chance of not flying away than before.
>>2995525Yes. The ballast bock should run perpedicular to the array, both supports tie into either end you absolute nincompoopits simulating a post supporting the two by floating on the surface, not being a wildly heavy expensive support independent of the frost linewhat. the. fuck.generator.
>>2995650>The ballast bock should run perpedicular to the array, both supports tie into either end you absolute nincompoop?????????
