>I don't have a spool holder built yet
Then the first thing you should print is a spool holder.
I just have my rolls hanging from my roof using fishing line, basically no resistance, so they spin freely.

>>1147773
But that still doesn't change that what is occurring is basically impossible unless they physically melted the filament into this position.
I guess next time I'll think twice about paying $10 for 0.5kg of pla lol

Also my circuit board is a chinese knockoff but the connectors are all a japanese brand so to do wire extensions I need to wait 90 days for shipping.... Not sure what to do other than order generic single wire connectors and doing connections one by one rather than by stuff like a molex connector and whatnot.
I'm in kind of a clusterfuck of a situation and I'm trying to rig chinese knockoffs into something decent...

I want to move all my electronics to the top and my bowden extruder connection to the top of my printer. I bought the kit on aliexpress though so they chopped the wires and made them the exact distances with no room for play. But the funny thing is they gave me the wrong circuit board so it barely fits under the printer and I had to chop some wires anyway. If I showed an electrician my setup he'd probably be running to get a fire extinguisher lol

First of all, https://u.nya.is/xwiqjp.mp4

buy generic or find a place that sells it in bulk

there's a discount place nearby where you can get generic stuff in 5 gallon buckets

Add two of these and I literally use your pic for six months of detergent. Perfect recipe.

Another part of me is just wondering if it makes economic sense to make it myself...

Banjo and guitar necks are completely different in construction.

Also 6 string banjos suck and are for losers.

>>1147574
I do not want to learn an additional instrument, it took me forever to learn the guitar. I was going to tune like a guitar with the sound of a banjo. Basically I'm making a guitar.

>>1147578
Suck it up baby.

It will have the timbre of a very shitty banjo and sound nothing like a banjo. The reason banjos sound the way they do is the way they're played and how the notes are laid out. If you play it like a guitar, it will sound like absolute dogshit. If you play it like a banjo, it's physically impossible.

Nevertheless, banjo and guitar necks are completely different in construction. So you'll need to get a proper banjo neck.

The rim looks fine for $37 if you're making an open-back. The included tone ring is shit though and is probably poorly fitted.

any nail and screw should go into wood, if it is not, drill a smaller hole first, if still cannot, it is not wood

>3d printers

Why don't you 3d print something if you have no money, no job, no tools, no shit lying around, no nothing.

>How to put a pc into something
There is google for that, we don't do spoonfeeds with zero specifics.

Lol you helped a lot.

>>1147469
This is your answer OP.
Also, GTFO and come back in about 5 years

Pic from the back, silver wire hanging is what it used to be part of. It connects to the back of the thermostat.

thermocouple

>>1147448
Any ideas on how to fix it? I haven't had much luck finding a replacement part anywhere. not the best when it comes to electronics. My old High school electronics class tells me soldering it might change the resistance.

>>1147413
do what above guy said

so left outlet will always be hot & right outlet will turn on/off with switch

black is load & red is neutral

>>1147413
If that single outlet in your drawing actually has a red wire and a black wire you should measure the voltage between them with a voltmeter.
Red and black on the same outlet generally indicate 230v supply (120vac on each wire)

Chainsaw
If you really want to beat yourself up you could use an arborists bow saw

>>1147208
Well-sharpened chainsaw and a belt sander.

But the chain has to be well-kept for it to come out right.

>>1147210
>arborists bow saw
would be a lot of work for my arm i assume?

Why kill a python on something that will probably be crappy? Just buy some cow leather and fuck up a few times.

>>1147214

Oh don't worry the pythons already dead.

Snake hides are pretty thin and weak.
You need to use the python simply as an overlay to a normal cow leather wallet.
Loctite makes quit me a few different adhesives that will bond it securely.
I don't have the locktite number on me, but easy to find in a search.
Also look into kangaroo and stingray hides.
Kangaroo is one of the strongest leathers- they don't have sweat glands so there are less micro irregularities- very supple also.
Stingray is amazing in general, the "beads" in the hide are calcium deposits, basically bone. So it is very durable.

>Everyone tells me the half inch supply hose should fit right onto the half inch compression line but it doesn't..

3/8 compression fitting on the shutoff valve end?

might be a good time to think about replacing it

I had a similar problem. I had 1/2" black pipe which the of is 5/8" and the only thing I found to fit it was a valve with a few adapters. That thing leaked llike the titanic

You should try feeding them styrofoam.

http://news.stanford.edu/pr/2015/pr-worms-digest-plastics-092915.html

>>1147156
And it works?

I can't imagine feeding anything styrofoam, where does that petroleum go?

>>1147017
Some. Dont do it op. Fucking fiberglass sucks the bigest of horsecocks.

Just....


Assume u want another room on your house and then build it.

This is what i would compare it to.

That being said dont let your memes be dreams son.


Do wtf u wanna so but dont take it lightly.

Get on youtube and look up custom fiberglass shit.

Be careful of the hardner resin mixture.

Not trying to scare u but the shit can catch fire if u fuck around.

My stupid ass did it bare handed 1 time.

Research it bit i think acetone will get it off of stuff.

I have torn into 2 boats and given up.

It can be done, but do your homework bro

Thanks for the reply, we are going to start it within the next 3 weeks and it should be complete before May. Pic attached is my restructured house with exterior load bearing walls only. Trusses, blind headers and flitch plates carry all loads to foundation. I think we can do this

Take a very expensive boat, cut shit off. Value $0. Fucking retard. Hope you drown.

An EE here

My best guess is that any ordinary Led would do..

The three terminals just below, with the funny signs, looks to be for a component, most likely a mosfet or bjt transistor.

I would assume any small signal n-mos will work. But the right package would be the easiest choice.

>>1146990
A closer look, and I had to correct my self.. The three terminal component is in parallel with the Led, so most likely not a mosfet or transistor. .

>>1146984
that's a qt nissan ECU. z32? looks like someone already installed a nistune chip in it then removed it.

what >>1146990
means is a simple red signal LED. not a high brightness or anything like that. also you dont need to look at that LED, it will blink on the dash as well. also you dont need to turn the little pot screw to read the codes, you can just bridge two pins on the consult port.

the solder job is literally blow me up tier

also something is blown up under the grey plastic part, and the solder joint is dead near it

>>1146964
indeed that fucking capacitor may not even make fucking contact with that retarded soldering joint

>>1146964
the solder job is because I need new solder tips, mostly.
the grey plastic part around the ports?

just resolder the wires onto the connector, or just skip the connector all together and just solder the wires on both sides together with some heat shrink.

>>1146937
Impossible to solder this (at least for me), way too small
I need the connector for length reasons

just cut off the connector and if the wires aren't long enough, then just get some wires to extend them, If you don't have any wires, just get some wires out of an unused ethernet cable
