>I also had in mind a bolt/screws supplier where I would also produce my own, with a CNC machine as well as custom bits.

pro tip: screws and bolts sell at cost. all the profits from screws and bolts comes from the scrap you recycle when machining.

>>1159216
Neither of you know shit about screws and similar fastener manufacture.

And OP no it is not feasible. The only people who machine their own screws (at least how you're describing) are into low load high precision shit like watchmaking.

This has to be the most retarded thing I have ever read. Congratulations.

Liquid is definitely not as efficient, because you need to pump the liquid around and there is an extra medium to get the heat out of the system but it might be more effective because you can keep pumping cold water onto the heat source. Whereas air cooling the heat source has to be able to withstand the temps until the heat has a chance to transfer to the cold air.

If your radiator is too small or something it will be substantially worse than correct sized air cooling and you might not notice because you are unfamiliar with the system

>>1159045
Depends on the application. Liquid cooling is useful for where you need to keep a system sealed of potential contaminants (dirt, dust, bugs, etc) but it's also vulnerable to absolutely destroying the machine if it's damaged significantly. It's also more complicated and requires more power to run pumps. But heat transfer can be optimized well beyond what air can deliver.

Air cooling is effective due to simplicity. Basic radiators and/or fans are cheap and less likely to have a catastrophic failure from damage, making repairs easy. But they can be significantly more heavy and require more frequent cleaning and maintenance, plus filters for keeping out particles. They also work better in moving devices due to airflow from speed. There are diminishing returns as the cooled temps become higher and higher though, as you need more and more conductive material and faster airflow to move the heat (and have it not melt on you).

>>1159045
Liquid cooling is better at cooling than air. But it's not recommended for most people unless they do massive overclocking, which most people don't do. It's like saying you need jet fuel to gas up your Toyota Camry because it's the best.

Another downside to liquid cooling is it's complicated with more points for failure unless you keep up on maintenance. That's just a lot of extra work and worry for no real benefit.

Congratulations on soon becoming a home owner. Did you have a specific question in there or just want to start a home ownership thread?

>>1158988
Both.
Would warping of the house be a something huge to worry about prior to buying/inspection?

>>1158991
All structures (cept maybe those built on bedrock) settle. Depending on the severity you can let it go, jack up the affected parts of the house and shim them level, or go ham and pour new footings for the foundation. My guess you're in the first category and with a bottle jack and afternoon could be into the second one pretty easily. The inspector will tell you for sure.

With arduino boards you can get adapters making it more suitable for permanent installation.

using an arduino i got for christmas, i have created a devious device. a device most foul. this device, which is fucked up as hell, reads in bio signals from my body and in fact detects when my heart stops. apon activation of this signal of my death, my signature on all the forums i have used during my time alive (gamefaqs, luelinks, sa boards) will be changed to ascii art and a message of rest in peace and honorto give my fellow gamers and online friends peace of mind. the bullies and whores on social media sites (facebook, twitter, instagram) many of whom i know in real life will not be so lucky. and they willbe treated, too, a barrage of personalized take downs and burns along the likes of comedy geniuses such as luis ck goerge carlin and bill hicks. it will also spam words of intolerable cruelty, such as nigger and faggot

If trying for pasta, it got taken off the stove too early...

It looks kinky, unless you own a porno cinema or swingers club throw that shit at a nigger.

>>1158600
The entire design looks totally fucked. I'd sandblast it just to see what happens, or you could sell it for a carton of cigarettes. I'm sure that's the standard method of compensation for a weapon like this.

you put so much effort into making it pretty
and then you are driving it by a handheld drill

might wanna get some inspiration for a proper drive train/controller here

I get that you're making stuff but you've made 2 threads in the past 15 minutes. cool it.

Your stuff is fine but the editing is a bit overdone. It's a camera slider and custom earbuds, not the next ak-47 or a clockwork drone.

I don't think those washers will last long attached only with superglue to the bearings, there are already pulleys with bearings attached.
Also you're missing the electronic part, a small servo and an arduino could make it programmable, following speed curves and things like that.

if you have them sure
there cheaper ones for precize work even ones with light
i wodl get even a stand with magnifying glass or a lamp with magnifying

Magnifying glass stand.

Like the other anons said it's the best option.

And if you're going to be soldering don't forget to get some adjustable bendy arm clamps

Op posts slick af z28. First comment is this. Not only that but op requested to see the autsistic works we coble together.

Never change diy. Never change.

Wormbro checking in. Finally getting beatles. They dont seen very happy tho. Maybe too chilly in here...

Thank God it's a carrot.

just make one from a lot of small panels

Just buy flexible solar panels and paint them black

>>1159484
Build them from shipping containers, I heard that works

- grow weed
- grow exotic rare plants or fruits (to sell of course)
- a sweatshop and hire illegal aliens
- a solar studio
- a launderette
- a battery charge shop
- a phone charge house
- an arcade
- a massage chair salon
- an underground club
- a bakery (electric ovens)
- an underground karaoke club

>>1159482
>- a sweatshop and hire illegal aliens
Go with this one and post results

Is this a meme now? Or do you children not realize the landlord ends up paying for the resources you use? Nothing is free, especially not electricity.

>>1159193
This is like something Tim would do in home improvement.

And you'd just be waiting for him to get all zapped somehow and then Wilson to turn it into a metaphor for masculinity in the post war era.

Creating a device of destruction instead of mating with your enemies and eventually, after several generations, producing everlasting peace?

>>1159193
that's pretty insane but wont you end up killing all of the beneficial insects in the area? How do you plan on attracting wasps?

>>1159109
the first post, is in fact, the best post

This

Impossible

Possible, if button 1 and 2 are SPDT buttons.

Ahem, I meant DPST.
