Welcome to /diy/, a place to:Post and discuss /diy/ projects, ask questions regarding /diy/ topics and exchange ideas and techniques.Please keep in mind:- This is a SFW board. No fleshlights or other sex toys.- No weapons. That goes to /k/ - Weapons. The workmanship and techniques involved in creating objects which could be used as weapons or the portion of a weapons project that involves them (e.g., forging steel for a blade, machining for gunsmithing, what epoxy can I use to fix my bow) may be discussed in /diy/, but discussing weapon-specific techniques/designs or the actual use of weapons is disallowed. Things such as fixed blade knives or axes are considered tools, things such as swords, guns or explosives are considered weapons.- No drugs or drug paraphernalia (See Global Rule 1). If you want to discuss something that could involve such things (e.g., carving a tobacco pipe from wood) that's fine, but make sure it's /diy/ related and doesn't involve drugs or it will result in deletion/ban.Helpful links:https://sites.google.com/site/diyelmo/http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/
Some friendly suggestions for posting:- First ask Google, then ask /diy/. Your question will probably be better received if you do so.- List available resources (tools, materials, budget, time, etc.)- Try to use pictures and explain the goal, if possible- Be patient, this is a slow board; your thread will be around for days.- Share your results! /diy/ loves to see problems solved and projects completed!

>>1299297if you know how to change this thing to english then i would not have to learn it lol. Currently i've found out how to level and heat the bed, slow and steady with chinese.
>>1299334>melzi boardeww, last time I saw one of those was my monoprice piece of crap.for the cr10 get an arduino uno and flash over a bootloader to change the firmware to marlin(or whatever) creality never flashed a bootloader so unless you add one yourself you will be stuck with that old software and moonrunes forever.
>>1299311Would also like to know. .
After years of neglect I'm trying to restore my prusa i3, but I'm finding a wall here.When I connect the RAMPS everything seems fine, I recieve data temperature and I don't find any error messages but no matter what I try to motors don't move, I have already tried changing the pololus and trying only one motor but to no avail, so how can I check if I have managed to kill 5 NEMTA 17 motors or to be totally sure if the motors aren't really the problem?
Went to Lowes to look at wood for a project I'm doing. (taking old BSR record players and replacing the crumbling particle board or cracked plastic with butcher block).>be me, enter the high security tool section with beeping cameras.>head on over to the saws and planes.>checking out a no name mini plane- $9.99>Lowes clerk approaches.>greets me with "welcome to Lowes">holding the plane in my hand, I ask if they have Lie-Nielson block planes>Lowes clerk responds: "Sorry, no movies here.">don't know what he was talking about. It may have been a language barrier since he was apparently from Africa or something, heavy accent.>"I'm looking for a Block Plane by Lie-Nielson", I ask again.>He responds, "Sir, no movies here" angrily and walks away.I don't know what he was talking about. What kind of training do they provide? Additionally, I was looking at their wood working project magazines, and every single magazine had high end block planes and dove tail saws and levels,and chisels. None of the featured tools in the magazine in the tool section of Lowes is carried by Lowes.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>1297404They probably didn't think you're stealing. They probably think you're making pipe bombs. There's specific training about what sort of items people buy to make bombs with that managers see, and you've described a scenario that fits their profile.
>>1299475They do?...ah the world we live in nowIm in Lowes Home Depot all the time have to wonder the isles looking for a flunky to answer a question...half the time they dont know either

The wood has warped and the joints won't fit anymore. Is there a way I can make them fit without cutting in slits and changing the shape of them? I've tried hot water but then it starts to curve. Maybe just use steam? I'm not sure.

>>1298973As someone on the hunt for burlwood for burlwood epoxy pojects i thank you.
>>1298938You need a chisel, a sober head and patience
>>1298979This is the power of global communication.Some university had a course that people could attend to through the Internet. In the exam the first student from the school itself was on the 400th place. This means that for each smart student there is at least 400 smarter students "somewhere".Unfortunately there is an even larger amount of idiots lurking around...
>>1298938Steam boxes are really handy for anything that requires bending wood. Soaking will not cut it... you really need to do both soak and steam, but steaming is more important. I built a steam box from scrap lumber and an old pressure cooker fired off a BBQ burner. Threw lengths of wood in pond overnight, then steamed for an hour. They were ridiculously flexible when removed... curved them around the project (a boat) and clamped them in place overnight. Next day there was some minor springback; glued and reclamped in place, good to go. Suggest you build a steam box yourself. I'd skip the soaking on wood that old. Remove from steam box and clamp flat (or whatever.) When you remove it I'm betting it's 100% fixed.

>>1299176Hi, I'm the guy from the other thread. Aconditioning the signal coming from the IR photodiode is a harder than just connecting the output of a demodulating sensor to an oscillator. I've tried it before and the photodiode's reception is very weak when used on a voltage divider, so that means using one or two amplifiers, filters, comparator...
>>1299422If the photodiode works more as a current source you should be able to just pass it through an NPN or two, with appropriate resistor to keep it in the linear region and give a worthwhile output signal.But if they are much more like a photovoltaic panel, I can see why this would be a problem since the mV won't activate the transistor much at all, but unless the AGC+filters+demodulator all come in a nice and easy to use package, I don't think a dual op-amp chip would be inefficient space-wise, since it can handle amplification and the cutoff voltage.
>>1299428>unless the AGC+filters+demodulator all come in a nice and easy to use packagethey do. and they're free coz you pull them from kinds of dead gadgets that use a remote (stereos, DVD players, cable boxes, VCRs, etc). i pulled this one yesterday. 3 pins: ground, 5V, digital signal out.
>>1299421>just putting a resistor in thereDo you have any practical experience in the field? How do you deal with the optical noise generated by a CFL screen background and fluorescent lamps running on electronic ballasts? Suppression of such signals is part of the AGC/demodulator circuitry. A naïve 'why don't you simply' approach can quickly accrete a substantial BoM without solving real world problems.
Seeing as this is the Atari punk edition I have a couple of ohm music related circuit questions.I have built a couple of sequencers, a pulse generator and a multi vca’s from kits. The two sequencers seem to be acting a little bit differently to each other, one channel on the vca isn’t working at all and one of the 7 pulses isn’t working. I’m a totally new to the electronics side of this and would like to understand how to trouble shoot these circuits. I think I could probably work out a basic schematic by now to understand which components are where, but I really struggle with it once it’s on the pcb. The pulses module seems to be the simplest module so I’ll start with that. It has 7 pulses coming from a 4081IC followed by a couple of resistors a led and a 3.5mm output socket. Some of the outputs are AND I believe so maybe not coming directly from the IC? I have a basic digital voltmeter and an old oscilloscope and although I’ve used them both briefly I have no idea how to use either to test a circuit. Please help!I think (pic related) is the schematic for the pulses module? Pulses info is on this page here:http://musicthing.co.uk/modular/expanders-for-the-turing-machine-random-looping-sequencer/

>>1296699I used freezer paper. It’s semitransparent and has plastic coating on one side. Google search template you want and blow up to size. Put down template, put freezer paper on top with plastic side down. I directly cut the freezer paper with an exacto knife... you can also trace first. When done, iron on the freezer paper to T-shirt. Use 50/50 bleach and water. Wet down with spray bottle and immediately towel off excess with paper towel. It will expose over a few minutes; dunk in cold water to stop the reaction, then wash normally. There are tons of tutorials... but it’s not complicated. Watch out with bleach.. wear old clothes and do outside or in garage. >>1297113It’s easy. Grab an old dark shirt and some freezer paper and try it out. Aside from above you can also use gel from bleach sticks or stamps.

>>1295008A 50$ hoodie will last 10× as long as a shitty Walmart hoodie
>>1299208... yeah, no. This $50 hoodie was no better than Walmart-grade. Paying only for the screen printing.
Need a good drill recommendationPicture not related but is what I have now and is my first drill. I think it sucks.
>>1299394I agree with the bostich power tools but the air tools are ok.
I bought a brush-less makita for 99 how fuck'd am I boys
>>1299412Those should be pretty good drills, but don't offer a huge advantage over the much cheaper brushed equivalent if you don't use them a lot.
>>1299026What the fuck is that coin slot in the middle of the handle? Looks like a wifi connection symbol sideways is on it
>>1299472all new tools are Bluetooth controlled smart tools with mics,and sensor so the government can kill you easier, that cover is for the brush motor used to kill you in case the bluetooth failed

Have you ever thought/wanted to make a replica of a fictional house/apartment? Either from a movie or a tv show. When is it not a good idea?
>>1297686it's a luxury apartment. that one bedroom on the right is for the "help". which is why it is next to the kitchen and laundry. the bit of hall for the 2 bedrooms on the left is to reduce noise and light from the living space. half bath in the living room for guests. the master suite has a bath and a huge walk in closet/dressing area. since there is only one other bedroom that isn't for "the help", it gets its own bathroom and a smaller closet/dressing area. i have a friend that has a condo in a building from the 1930s. she owns like half the floor and her condo was originally 3 large luxury apartments. they all have some of the quirks that fraiser's apartment does.
I still have my dream of recreating a 1:1 de_dust for my airsoft group. No paintballers because that shit gets everywhere. I even used to have plans on how to recreate the plant and defuse (kit and no kit).
>>1295296>I have trouble finding some of the decorations, and live in a small rented apartment

Anyone have any idea wtf this is?Thanks in advance

>>1298967
They say that, "There are no stupid questions"ITT that proves to be an inaccurate statement
>>1298665MIB memory eraser
>>1298665Depends on the size, might be a pressure valve from an old pressure cooker.
I've collected quite a bit of experimental data from a hobby of mine (RC aircraft) I was thinking about making it into a book and publishing it. Do you think it would make shekels?
>>1299071Surely it's too basic for them?
>>1299210If you get any sort of response you could turn the conversation into an application for a job with them collecting big boy measurements.
>>1298852What's your educational background OP?
Whatever you do just ensure that the information belongs to you or you're allowed to use it.
>>1299242High school.
How much would it cost to build something like this? Assuming labor is free and you have basic tools.

Love and radio podcast just out an episode out about this guy. Called the machine. Interviews his old buddies etc. some view him as an anti establishment folk hero. He couldn't handle changing times
>>1298861serious question: how does one actually get one of these?
>>1299376See the Saturn's Anus flag
>>1299376become jewish, join the idf.either that or from a junkyard,i see tons of ex idf vehicles lurking around in some shady wreckers yards ive got my eye on a wrecker who has about 20 old armored cars rusting away,
Why do you people even like this shit? >Tried to screw hose clamp>No reach>Can't provide decent torque>ClumsyThat's it, I'm done with it, the only time I truly needed it it failed me.
>>1299259Wouldn't that be redundant?
>>1299264Perhaps, but I always have a backup for something. Just good rule to follow. Cause if you really need it.. luck is already not on your side.
i feel naked without one of these.
God stop teasing me with these threads.
