Start asking people if they would pay you to diy stuff for them, like diy yard work or building a shed. But for other people, then they pay you for it be ause you saved them time doing a thing they didn't actually want to do.

Make NEET badges and sell them. LEECH OFF YOUR OWN KIND.

Nice enough shape, but would have personally run the grind higher up towards the spine.
Cuts out a lot of weight from the blade, gives it a better cutting geometry for slicing and doesn't lose any strength

>>1137782
no because wood grade too soft

They need to rename this board to /jew/.

>>1137782
Of course

clean out the lint in your phone

>>1141262
I have cleaned the port,but I noticed that after some movements with the cable I got all sides working,but then suddenly it goes back to one side working.

>>1141264
if it is not the cable, it is the phone or the headphone, if you are smart you know what to do

>>1141214
Just stop.

>>1141214

Dissolve in water, add cleaning vinegar till it's neutral and put it down the drain?

>>1141214
>thinking that it would be more or less harmless
you are thinking pressure washing i.e. just water

>treat the residue
mix with an acid to neutralize it i.e. citric acid

>leaving it to sit for a while
never go full retard

>dorm room
>turntable

stop being a nigger and use a smartphone like everyone else in 2017

>>1141213
he posted a 1200 but, the kids OK.
OP, would not FM Transmitter in a dorm, you gonna interfere (or get interfered with) something, guaranteed. BT, better quality, less interference. Just buy some chinese shit (sender/receiver), its all the same - then, you can also use BT headphones etc. if needed.

>>1141240
Okay. I'm a novice at bluetooth, how would I connect my turntable/amp to a bluetooth transmitter? My turntable and amp both use RCA

>inb4 solder it

I know to solder it, but all the schematics I've found for transmitters use single TX out and single RX in, and RCA is split left/right.

Pic is of the threaded rod we are using right now, the custom CNC job.

2- Is it possible to 3D print the whole screw setup?

We will have a pressure of about 3 bar inside the column, so about 60kg on the hypothetical plastic screw,

By the way, how is this called?

I have tried looking for "stationary leadscrew" or "cut static thread"

>There is only one cut area, so when you change directions, there is some backslash.
What does the "flat" have to do with backlash?
1)Is the rod still turning a bit?
Are you turning it by hand by hand or is there some other reason you need to reduce backlash? 2)Why is the backlash a problem?
3)Why not use a guide rod or two like cnc linear drives?

An actual pic of the setup or an explanition of the purpose would be helpful.

>>1141045

Didn't this get released like 4 days ago?

>>1141046

Yes. The material is the biggest piece of shit ever. The screen itself is made of plastic.

The controller is wearing off, from where I've been playing. Is a fucking joke. I wanna find some /diy/ to actually finish Nintendo job for them and future proof the material,

put it in the microwave

Don't they normally use a screw to compress the pellets until they're molten then inject it into a mold? If you had a strong enough press you should be able to use the force of the press alone to turn the pellets molten.

>>1140906
Yeah I don't have any of that. I was thinking like C-clamps and some plywood

I've seen guys make little blocks of it, but to make a 4x8 foot sheet would be pretty ambitious. MDO plywood might give you a non stick surface if you sprayed it with some kind of release agent. Like Pam or something

>>1140826
And yes, I've searched online already. I'm just hoping for advice from someone who has worked with different types of resin since I don't know how strong it is.
I don't know how I'd make a mold so I figure I'd get close and then dremel out the parts I can, then sand to make it clear again?

>>1140826
Check out Peter Brown's channel:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3CrzXzBFVqEopj5T1jiRtA
He covers all sorts of things in epoxy and you might get a good idea of it's strength, especially as he turns them on a lathe. He uses two types of resin, polyester and epoxy, each used for different purposes.

It sounds like you need polyester resin, you won't have to layer it and it turns out very clear (without bubbles), though it smells like a bitch so better get a chemical mask.

>>1140852
Cool channel, thanks man.

Watching his epoxy knife video I saw that when epoxy is thin it looses strength considerably. It was thicker than I would want over the skull and he was able to make it soft and malleable with only the heat from his fingers. He mentioned acrylic, though, which I'm looking into now.

How good's your mini-mill, and what kind of work area do you need? Budget?

Your "pic related", along with the average aluminum "CNC mill" is really more of a CNC router. Good for softer sheet goods, not so hot for smaller, bulkier, harder parts.

6040 owner here. It's hot swamp ass. Do not recommend. I've done extensive upgrading to it, including replacing the flimsy faggot rail extrusion bed with a solid 1/2 in tooling plate and mounting it on a 150lb cast iron surface plate to damp vibrations. Had to buy a smoothstepper to get around nonexistent 64 bit parallel port driver for mach 3. Does ok as an engraving machine. Really struggles to mill aluminum and leaves horrid surfaces. Might be ok for plastic or wood. Dealing with the chinese is a fucking nightmare. Manual is in chingy chongy engrish and pin assignments are wrong.

Buy a bridgeport.

>>1140811
I'm on a literal shoestring. Maybe 2k. I've seen some vids of the 3040 and 6040 doing some decent aluminum though not too sure. I also don't have to be very precise. It can be about .5 mm off maybe a little more

>>1140784
The pressure will drop from one end of the 1" sprayer line to the other. The drop depends on the port sizes. Put the gauge where in the line you want the 30PSI (beginning, middle end) and adjust the regulator accordingly.

>>1140784

The PSI will be the same regardless of whatever diameter of material you use...

>>1140805
Only if the regulator can keep up with demand.

why is it so tall?

>>1140630
thats for welding flanges or something around?

>no ball bearings
aww

will a motor & belt go underneath?

You already failed at business... seriously.

Try lemonade first.

>>1140170
Simply put. No. Because even if you could.. It would need to be rechromed. Wrap some hockey stick tape around it or something for grip.

>>1140175
I think you misunderstood, the grip is fine and the knurling's still good, I need another ring like in pic related since I intend to bench with the bar aswell.

>>1140170
Use a hand kneeling tool.
You should be able to do it at home with a little skill
