Hard to tell without seeing the other side, but it looks like a DIP 24 header.

those kind of extensions were common 20 years ago, but are very rare now. probably your best bet is to make your own using 2 rows of machined female headers and soldering wires.

you want the machined headers, with round pins, not the regular, rectangular headers coz they likely wont fit.

As the anon said, you're better off just making your own rather than trying to find a replacement part which will be just as old anyway.

I'm sure they make an adapter for dollarydoos

>>1156473
Yeah on official ones, but i want to build a vending machine from scratch and unless i get the width perfect you cant do the size stopper for a coin mechanism with australian money because the 1 dollarydoo is smaller than the 20 and 50 cent

>>1156475
huh, can you post the design you found?

Make it big enough to climb inside. Tie off if it's deeper than 6ft.

Safety first.

they can remote diagnose those things, if they sending an engineer out (@ £75 call out cost or whatever), its probably fucked. And before they pay a monkey another £25 p/h to turn it upside down and look at it sideways, he'll swap that £15 POS for another POS, end of.

You can try hard reset if possible, then, disconnect everything, switch off for 10 minutes, try again - dunno from pic, but if thats a media receiver (TV etc), HD usually fails1st. Their HW is cheap crap its all a percentage game, cost versus fixing the amount of failures balanced against amount of customers who will fuck off, purely because their boxes are garbage-tier junk.

>>1156151
So the engineer is gonna rock up, scratch his head for 5 mins then grab another one from his van? Thanks for the info though

>>1156143
It got Mirai'd, it is dead and now a zombie botnet, you can't fix this

Tell Virgin to send you a new one

Turn barrel sideways. 2" in. 3/4" (hose) out. Gg.

>>1156046
>If I had a use for a hose (specifically to fill an above ground pool) that was higher than the level of the barrel, would any water come out?
No.

>Maybe if the barrel was full?
No.

>Does it have to do with the weight of the water in the barrel?
No.

Water finds its own level with gravity. You can't make water go above that level unless there is a force acting on it. Like a water pump.

Things like a siphon can make water go above the level temporarily but the exit point has to be below that level or it wont work.

look up vessel communication

For the record, that picture is of soft copper tubing, which comes pre-rolled (and not in diameters of what I'm trying to get unfortunately), I'm working with straight 1/2" tubing, like you'd use in standard plumbing fixtures.

I have heard of people ramming them full of sand.

You have annealed them right?

>>1155777
>annealed
I've not, is that something I can handle with a small handheld torch, or would it require something with more power?

>>1155742
It's not difficult, but it is subtle. GMAW is considerably easier to learn than SMAW or GTAW. In every process, you're essentially moving a dime-sized dot of molten metal around. Keeping it at a uniform size, and moving it at a consistent rate are the parts that you need to learn. This comes with practice. Learning goes faster if you're getting feedback from an experienced instructor.

Learn and know all safety procedures. You're playing with electricity, molten metal, actinic light, toxic fumes, and asphyxiant gases. All at the same time. You get exactly 1 fuckup.

I'm certainly not a professional welder but I've dabbled here and there as just general maintenance stuff. As a schooled welding professional it will open up more types of welding opportunities. It seems like the dream welding job for most people is pipe welding, usually underwater.
That's what you'd go to school for. You can absolutely learn standard welding via the internet and shit but it won't just come to you. You have to be able to tell the difference between a good weld and just a good-looking weld. You can lay down a perfect bead but if it isn't strong then it's worthless.
Then there's shit you would learn in school, like which type of welder you want to use (oxy-acetylene, mig, tig, etc.) and the type of rod when applicable. You also need to be able to identify your metals, if you were working with aluminium specifically and you didn't realize it then you would be in trouble
If you want to weld professionally it would be hard if not impossible for you to beat out a schooled welder but you could do some personal welding here and there.

Welding IS hard.

You need to fine control of the rod or it will fail. Some reasons are too slow or too fast, wrong angle, wrong direction, wrong rod, wrong amp/voltage on welder, arc length too high or can be too short.

See how much things you have to keep consistent through out the entire weld?

I am not a pro welder but i have done welding at home.

How would I go about making an airliner out of a septic tank with minimal tools?

Thanks.

Acquire a two-stroke lawnmower engine. Done.

What do you mean go about making...it's already made m8.

Small staples from a staple gun and/or finish staples/finish nails through a wooden frame made of an appropriate wooden molding or trim.

don't know if those are The ways, probably at least A way

>>1154846

Thanks! Been looking into it. Saw another suggestion for creating a frame or at least some wood strips to mount it on. Was thinking that might be nice if I want some sort of backlighting albeit I'm not sure it would shine through the mat.

>>1154822

Check Amazon for X-Fasten double sided carpet tape. Thin foam tape, removable, little to no residue and holds like a hot damn.

Clean wall, apply tape, apply mat, then use small rollers to apply pressure to taped spots. Ensure to get near the edges as well as some parallels in the middle.

Cheap hobby CNC routers tend to be awful for working with aluminium.
They can cut it, for sure, but very slowly and leaving lots of chatter marks due to poor machine rigidity.

I want to work with wood exclusively. what choice do i have?

>>1155842
build your own, its not like they are complex.

>>1153288

Nope...go git er dun...

>>1153288
Nah. Just don't have a chip on your shoulder about being somebody's helper bitch even though your 28.

>>1153288
27 and just started an apprenticeship.

Currently helping at a construction site. It's rough at times, but I am enjoying it so far. Get ready for every muscle you know and don't know about to get sore.

Can't really see shit, captain. You want to point out what needs soldered?

Another picture for reference
The back needs to be soldered, there seems to be 2 pins that peak out onto the board. Im assuming I just solder the metal back together or do I need to buy some.

I haven't done it, but it doesn't seem too hard. You'll need a 36v DC power supply. You can get switching power supplies like that for pretty cheap at just about any online retailer. You'll need to make sure it can supply enough current for the motor. Since you don't seem to know much about it, I'd probably stick to Amazon since you won't be able to spot crappy supplies that'll burn your shop down.

Speed control is the harder part. I can't recall seeing a single belt sander with speed control, but I guess it would be cool. Before giving any real advice, we'd need to know more about the motor. Most big DC motors like that are brushed, but we would need to know its current draw. The most basic control is just altering the voltage supply to the motor, but this gets to be a pain in the ass real quick. You might be able to find a variable DC power supply that can handle the current needed, which would solve both problems at once.

As for the rest of the machine, I think our boy Mattias Wendel has done something like this. That should give you ideas for rollers and the deck and whatnot, but he probably used an AC motor.

Good luck

For starters, it's 3kW + losses so make sure your outlet is capable of that.

Your assistance is appreciated, I assume this thread will 404 before I can update though. It's a little tornado-ish outside.

A monitor?

>>1155987
After re reading your post I know you're talking about a monitor. Aka deluge or deck gun.

There's nothing terribly complicated about them and they don't use very high PSI, normally in the 100-150 range, rather they are used to move lots of water through GPM.

The general rule is that lower psi will move more GPMs and GPMs is what you want to fight a fire.

http://www.firefightermath.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=31&Itemid=45

This should help you figure it.

I believe all joints for fire hose are tested to only 500 PSI.

>>1155987
Maybe. I will likely mount it on the front with a splitter. That way if my cobled together fucking bootleg sprayer comes apart they can kick the oto off and grab a hose. This will likely go on a backuo grass rig or 2 assuming i dont get anyone killed. We just fought record fires for a few weeks. The guys were tired but they seemed to have plenty of equipment. Im sure i will run a pressure guage to the cab.

>>1155908
For what purpose? Creating a prop for a movie? Getting the vehicle approved for public roads by the appropriate authorities? Making a race car?

>>1155911
Not to be rude, but if I'm looking for safety regulations then obviously I want to use it on public roads. It's a van so it would hardly be used for racing.
Back story is I'm interested in getting a utility van, but it only has two seats, and I would like it to have four.

>>1155908
Just go to a scrapyard and find some seats, preferably from the same model to make sure they fit.
