Unfortunately I'm going to ask you some questions, whether you feel I need to ask them may be a different story though...I'm not able to re-create the problem and I've also followed your steps to the letter. Can you confirm what operating system and version you are using (i.e. Windows 7, 8-8.1, 10 etc.) as well as which web browser you are using (i.e. Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE etc.).Have you tried to re-create the problem using a different web browser?

Looks great, glad you managed to get it made :-) Thanks for sharing your progress.

The 1 year premium membership is still up for grabs!

Also try to provide at least one image for every step. It's not always essential to getting featured, but it is certainly desirable.

Three sports and three teams for me:Rugby (Union) and Wales!Formula One and the McLaren F1 team.Football (soccer) and Manchester United.

Close, but no cigar. Try again...

Thanks, good luck finding them :)

Thanks, I missed the deadline for entering the Halloween contest so thought I'd try something a little different.

Hi, you're not able to see how many votes you have received in a contest. Contests generally work like this:After a contest is closed it remains open to voting for a few days, it then goes to judging and the finalists are revealed. The final winners positions are then revealed.Find the contest(s) you entered here to check what the status is and see the winners (if you are a finalist / winner, you will receive usually an e-mail notification): https://www.instructables.com/contest/

Thanks :) I thought so too,really happy with the outcome.

I'm giving away 1 year of free Instructables Premium Membership to anyone who can find SIX of the SEVEN Harry Potter related items and references hidden in this Instructable.For more information and to post your answers, see the link below:https://www.instructables.com/community/Find-the-H...

While the Instructable has a lot of good photos, it is lacking a detailed written description of each step.

What's your plan for getting lift? Hovering like a hovercraft (with a flexible skirt around the bottom) or are you thinking of hovering like a quadcopter with rotors? Or are you thinking of something more integrated where the movement and the lift is from the same power unit, truly replicating thrust vectoring.Don't forget that you also need to factor in the weight of the motor/engine, any fuel tanks or batteries, things will really start to add up, you'll be needing even more power! Without giving it too much thought the first thing that came to my mind was a jet engine, would sound quite like a speeder as well :p

Everyone will have their own opinion on this, but personally I don't feel the need for a 'Like' button, I find the concept rather meaningless. Facebook uses the 'Like' feature as part of its monetizing business model, it's also another way of harvesting data, so not for me!I'll admit that I can see why the idea has some merit, I'm just not convinced it's necessary.When I posted my Pokeball project on Facebook I got a couple of hundred likes in the first week or so, but the 10 or so comments I got here on Instructables meant so much more! Likes are handed out like confetti, hence why they are meaningless.If I truly like something I will post a comment saying as much, maybe I'm old school in my thinking, but I prefer the personal touch.

Looking good, great Cauldron you got there as well :) You must get a real nice movement on the spoon with that configuration. Hope it worked out for you, I used my cauldron again in this years Halloween display.

That is wonderful, great work. Kudos to you!

I can understand your frustration, I'd be annoyed if one of my ideas had been stolen. But even if we are to assume that they based their design on yours, unless you have some sort of patent protecting your design, their only 'crime' would be a lack of common courtesy in not crediting you.And while there are some striking similarities, you also need to consider the possibility that the whole thing could be an innocent coincidence, no matter how unlikely you think that might be.I would guess that nothing can be done, we'll probably never know the absolute truth, this may be one that has to be taken on the chin.

Glad you like it, the cauldron also featured in a Harry Potter window display that I put together last Halloween.

Thanks, it will probably find its way into my Halloween display this year as well.

Yes that is the intention. I have started to design the PCB (I've added the untested experimental designs to the Instructable). It's just a matter of finding the time for me to build and test the new design before updating the Instructable to include the new steps.

I was thinking exactly the same as 38ren as I read through the Instructable, beautiful photos! Looks great, excellent work, kudos to you!

That looks rather epic, kudos to you!

Thank you, glad you like it :-)

I don't have an Outlook 2003 client to hand to test but if I were to hazard a blind guess, it could be that Outlook's security settings are preventing images from being displayed, or maybe the older Outlook client is unable to handle the HTML correctly.

Ahh that's where it is.. good find! Hopefully they'll fix that soon.

Excellent work! Kudos to you, I like this a lot.

+1 I also like this idea!

I suppose they would win by default, but it looks like people are finally getting round to entering now... I guess there's only so long one can procrastinate.

I have little interest in being paid, I do this for fun or not at all. Not everything in life should revolve around the profit margin.If you post more info here you might get someone who is kind enough to help for free.

I'm in the process of making a motion sensor audio/video player using a PIR sensor and the Raspberry Pi. The Pi is then hooked up to an amp via the 3.5mm jack to stereo RCA. Whether this is practical for you depends on what you're intended implementation is, I'll be posting the Instructable within the next couple of months.Hopefully someone else will have some other ideas too.

Not familiar with that model and struggling to find the manual on-line. Is this refrigerator anything like yours?https://www.manualslib.com/manual/45584/Electrolux...

You'll only be able to digitize your CD collection as quickly as you can physically swap the discs. How long the digitizing process itself takes will depend on the the runtime of each CD, the read speed of the CD drive and the speed of the processor doing the encoding.

Board game contest where you can either make your own from scratch or mod an existing board game to change the theme and rules.

I quite like the idea that I'bles entered into contests can't be deleted. In a way it helps to maintain the integrity of the contest by keeping the content available. The contest archive goes back almost ten years and people may wish to look at past winners.My suggestion would be to edit the I'bles in question and improve the standard until you are happy with them :-)

Excellent work, I really like this. I'm going to make this and use it in my Witching Halloween window display. Thanks for sharing, I will add some photos when done :-)

Things can get a little confusing when it comes to CNC and axis as it goes against what I was always taught in math. I've tried to explain the commonly used CNC axis labels below:Z = vertical axisX and Y = 2-axis on the horizontal planeI've attached some images to better illustrate.

Ultimately the axis can be defined as whatever you want, depending on the parameters in the software/code. But the examples I've provided are the most common usage.

As Downunder said, what mail client(s) and OS are you using? It sounds like your software may be outdated, but without all the info we're just guessing.

For the gas mask I'd consider a respirator, the kind used by painters and builders, usually available from DIY hardware stores. You may not find one in the right colour but you can always paint it black. Another option is to make one from scratch out of paper mache. A bit of duct tape cut to the right size will add the X to the front.For the tactical vest, how's your sewing? I'd take two regular vests and sew them together, but line the inside with a stiffer material to create a bullet proof vest feel/thickness. Sew some velcro straps over the shoulders. Cut the middle of the vest and add the zip. For the detail (such as the pouches) find some old fabric glasses cases, camera cases, phone cases, binocular cases etc. Ideally get black ones, or paint or dye black. I'd check charity shops,...

Put a real walkie-talkie in one of the pouches for added realism.For anyone not familiar with Mute, I've added a photo :-)

Everything I've done, I've done for you. I move the stars for no one.I'd like to see a 'Labyrinth' movie themed Instructable, just because!You have thirteen hours in which to solve the labyrinth, before your baby brother becomes one of us... forever.

I generally pull up notepad on the computer and save the notes to a TXT file. I also use a standardized folder structure whenever I work on a project, all my resources, notes, images, code, STL files etc. get put there so I can find them again later.I can see some merit in your suggestion though, but different people work in different ways.

Unfortunately it looks like it may not be eligible for the Solar Contest as your Instructable was published before the contest was open for entries.Your I'ble was published on the 13th of August, but the contest didn't open for entries until Monday the 14th.Also I think the contest opening and closing times are on Pacific Time, so something else to keep in mind.

Contact a bee keeper, they would usually do this for free, but access to the hive might pose a problem if it's within the walls and difficult to reach. Either way an experienced bee keeper can tell you what your best options are.

The USB to to PS2 adapters will not support wireless USB. The keyboard/mouse combos will only work with some adapters (they will usually have two PS2 connectors, green (mouse) and purple (keyboard)).

These do work in a lot of cases, but some of the newer USB keyboards and mice won't work with these and require an active adapter/converter.

That means the code is ok, it's probably worth re-programming the chip just to make sure everything is hunky dory and there are no errors, you should get a clear indication that the program downloaded to the PICAXE successfully.Now it's just about the circuit, make sure the 100nf cap is in the right place and double check your resistors are the correct values.

Everything else looks ok as far as I can tell. I can't quite see the colour bands on the resistors to check their values though, so make sure you are using the correct ones. If in doubt you can use this resistor colour code calculator.With regards to the simulation in the PICAXE software, copy and paste the code into the Editor, then do the following (I've included a screenshot to illustrate):-1. Click the 'Simulate' tab.2. Click the 'Run' button (if it produces an error, check you copied the code correctly).3. As the code simulation runs, it will highlight the active code line in yellow.4. The pins of the PICAXE chip will change colour to indicate their status, the green indicates output. This represents the LED switching on.

First thing you can check is that the code works when you simulate it in the PICAXE Editor. The code I've provided should work on all versions of the 8-pin PICAXE chip.The next thing is to check your circuit. If you're new to PICAXE check out their Getting Started guides, they're really helpful.The 100nf cap is a decoupling capacitor and all ICs should have one. It suppresses high-frequency noise in power supply signals, it basically protects the PICAXE chip. This capacitor should connect between the power source (V+) and ground (V-) as close to the PICAXE power pins as possible. The attached image shows its ideal location on your breadboard.

As a Welshman I especially appreciate these! Great work :-)

Thanks, I'm using the following system:Windows 10 Pro v1703 Build 15063.483 (64-bit)I can re-create the problem with the following browsers:Firefox v54.0.1 (64-bit)Chrome v60.0.3112.78 (64-bit)IE v11.483.15063.0Edge v40.15063.0.0Since posting this thread I've noticed that the problem only occurs when I am logged-in. If I logout they will appear, but if I log back in again they're gone.

Thanks Sam, I've added the extra info to the thread.

This is excellent work! Thanks for sharing :-)

I really like it, great work :-) Might have to make one of these for the garden.

Yeah, I'm planning on treating the wooden parts then sealing any fabric with a waterproof sealant spray once assembled.I will post a picture when done, but I'll probably be while as I'm renovating the indoors before moving onto my garden :-)Keep up the excellent work!

Agreed, I love this place too! It's good to have such a great online community that gives so much inspiration and so many great ideas.

Thanks for the comment, much appreciated. I'm glad you liked it :-)

Thanks, glad you like it :-) Love to see how you get on if you do make it.

I agree with the other comments, your standards are certainly high enough. Your last 7 I'bles in a row have been featured and you've won a contest already. Keep up the good work :-) I look forward to seeing what you make next.

I would like to join a team in the Cardiff, Wales, UK area. Probably a good idea to check if my local hack spaces have members here.

I really like this, good work :-)

Nice idea! Thanks for sharing.

I recently discovered that XTC 2-part epoxy, found it to be wonderful stuff and I will probably use it for a lot of my 3d printed builds going forward.

Great build, I need something like that for my new workshop (when I get round to fitting it out).

Looks good, great photos of the build too :-)

Epic tree house, I like that you have an actual sofa in there!

Great project, love those NeoPixel LEDs :-)

LabyrinthRockySaving Private RyanDie HardMasters of the UniverseMonty Python and the Holy GrailStar WarsField of DreamsGood Will HuntingFinding ForresterHome AloneAny of the above and more!

I saw this I'ble a couple of days ago and really liked it, a nice idea and it's well done.Don't worry if the views seem to be lower than you hoped, there have been some changes to the way views are counted. Check this out for more info:https://www.instructables.com/community/Reduced-views

Oh, the tricks to play on apprentices...the glass hammer, replacement bubble for the spirit level, or my favourite.. the tartan paint!

Soap and sanitation in general. We have a lot to thank the Romans for, to quote Monty Python:All right... all right... but apart from better sanitation and medicine and education and irrigation and public health and roads and a freshwater system and baths and public order... what have the Romans done for us?

I believe the event was today (Saturday May 20th).

Congratulations on the win, well deserved :-)

Nice idea, I like it :-)

These look really good, very effective.

Oh wow, now that is the stuff right there!

I might have to try this!

Yupp that is a great photo!

Now they do look good!

I'm so going to make this at some point. I can feel some halloween inspiration coming!

That's cool :-)

The title pic reminded me of the 'Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes' game so it got my attention. Nice build :-)

That's pretty epic, great work.

That looks pretty amazing, love it!

That looks really cool, great work!
