I have a Bissell 1646 PowerGlide Pet Vacuum. I've been very happy with it. It has some minor flaws but its also only $110 on Amazon right now, which is about $15 cheaper then when I bought it.

burn it down

no one can steal what isn't there.

Depends on what part of detroit to be honest.

Fencing, run of the mill security systems, wifi stuff so you can record movement and check on the place from your phone. I spend a decent amount of time there and there are areas it seems like nothing would matter in, as you won't get cops anywhere near it in less than a half an hour.

Bars on windows would probably do the trip for the most part though if it's getting shit stolen that you're worried about.

Easiest way would be to give it wheels.

That way, you can tow it out of Detroit.

>3 axis router

first, CNC routers don't normally have super tight positioning tolerances. second, FANUC control is a FANUC control. as long as you are good with the CAM software (i've never used rhino) you should be okay.

is it a custom post processor or just a generic router one?

i pray you have the manual somewhere.

if you don't know the code to the sec system just call ADT and explain to them so that they can reset it.

> I'm pretty sure they will try to sell me a newer system
so what, are you that much of a cockmungling faggot you can't just say "no thanks, just reset this one"

you faggot

First off, where do you live? I'm guessing from the description, it's not a nice neighborhood.

Timeline:
0:00 Person kicks in back door
0:30-1:00 Security system alerts monitoring center that code has not been entered
0:30-3:00 Monitoring company calls you to confirm false alarm
0:30-1:00 You tell them it is not a false alarm
0:30-5:00 They contact local PD
5:00-30:00 They arrive at your house


Ignoring the fact that even once they get there they might still not catch the person and the fact that if they see a kicked in door they will call for backup. Best case scenario is that police will arrive in ~7 minutes. This is assuming that there is basically a cop down the block. They're not going to be rushing to your house at 100mph full sirens.

The average police response time is about 10 minutes nationally and a "good" monitoring center response is about 1 minute.

11 minutes is more than enough for a guy with a sawzall to grab a few hundred in copper.

Yes, calling a security company will have them try to sell you a new system.

Cheaper and just as effective is to just use a loud audible alarm. You already know the old lady across the street is nosy, just use her to call the cops instead of paying ADT.

Other things:
Motion lighting
Reinforced door jambs
Properly installed deadbolts

Those three are easily the most bang for your buck and call all be knocked out in an afternoon.

You can also:
Buy a dog
-Most robbers aren't going to even try with a dog.
Buy fake security system signs.
-Might scare off some stupid thieves
Park a car in the driveway
-Number one deterrent to burglars is someone home
Put lamps on timers in evening
-Home alone that shit. Much less likely to work on next door neighbor though since he will be able to look through windows with total impunity.
Casually bring up to the suspected thief that some cunts stole all the copper so you replaced it with plastic
-If he thinks there is nothing of value, he won't even bother risk it

Set him up and record him committing the crimes.

It's reindeer, the school sells them for fundraising

my old boss had huge financial freedom and bought a custom worktable for his garage suspended from the ceiling that was lowered with a electric pulley system, table was solid steel and about 10 by 8 and you could also store shit on it and hide it all away when you were done. he liked it so much he installed a second. It was cool as fuck.

If i had the room i would put in a milling machine

>>1086447
Defiantly this. Especially if you like making your own parts for things. Along with this I would get a bunch of woodworking tools.

I've been pretending to be a machinist for five years (and getting paid for it!). I can give some sick pro-tips on how to make some breddy gud polarizer cells if you're into optics and shit

8 LEDs, surface mount. Nothing special going on. Screws are tiny Phillips fastened onto an aluminium platter with heat transfer paste underneath. Odd, the heat would then go into the area where the board is. And they do get warm.

Here's the top of the board. Parts fell off during destruction. Not really a micro electronics guy, I work with 120 and up mostly. Maybe you guys will see something I don't.

And the bottom. You may not be able to tell, but there are a few places where solder is touching from 2 separate components. May or may not be intentional. Can't really tell if these are quality components or not, but I did expect much, much worse.

That's about it. Hopefully someone who is considering switching to LED bulbs can compare this quality to teardowns of other brands.

Post a 360 degree video so we can look at the back of the thing and see if we can see the power cable.

So they're not going in all the way? Grit in the mechanism?

Why repair garbage

you mean hollowing out the log, stretching leather over both ends and then stretching springs over the bottom membrane so that their tension can be adjusted?

it looks pretty solid right now

>>1084432

Generally, thats not how people make a solid shell snare...

It's usually a steam bent piece of solid (maple, birch, cherry, etc), thats formed on a shell press...

Others build stave snares, kind of like building wine barrels (think coopering)...

There is a guy that builds/built drum shell out of a solid log...he turned them a a rather large lathe...I don't know how well this would turn out desu...

So, I suggest you look into steam bending or stave work...much better results...

Wheres the scratch? Just ask if you can cover it with some touch up paint of the same color

Legally, if you're at fault, and a report was submitted, you're required to do the repair that she and her company choose.

If you didn't have a report done, did not call police or insurance, and have no damage on your vehicle, and DID NOT give your insurance info, then tell her to pack sand.

If she is threatening to call insurance, tell her to do it. Your rates won't go up too high, and the repairs needed are minimal. They'll pretty much shrug it off.

Honestly I don't know where the scratch is. She jumped out of the car screaming that it was a lease and there was a scratch.

Obviously I did hit her and I am responsible for it, so I am going to have to pay for it, but she just called and said that she got an estimate for $900 because they will have replace the entire bumper. I looked over the car and couldn't find anything wrong with it myself, and replacing the bumper seems like over kill when it's just buffing out a scratch, but I only know how to make them run, not make them pretty.

I love old EE equipment so I hit up university dumpsters whenever I'm nearby. A lot of them sort their E-waste into separate bins which makes it easy. I'm up to 19 oscilloscopes and a lot of other sexy items.

Sweet Jesus it used to be good in northern Delaware. We had a TastyKake dumpster, a Frito-Lay dumpster like you, and a Canada Dry dumpster. It's all gone to surveillance and locks in the past decade though. Our electronics recycling bins used to rock as well; now it's set hours at a Solid Waste Authority owned station.

Power = a Speed of process and how Deep laser light will penetrate resin.
I'm using 100mW 406nm ttl controlled laser you can get it from ebay or aliexpress.
What you need to understand is how resin reacting on light, exactly the light spectrum, of absorption.
Take a look on pic attached most of resin is activated with light less then 400nm ( violet and Ultra violet) and with light in range of blue the reaction time is so poor you will need much more exposition time or energy.
Iv tested first on Blue laser 2W 460nm it barely thicken,effect was soft and rubbery, then Iv get my self 406nm Violet laser 100mW and effect was instant hardening. I look for 385nm Laser but the price goes expansionary for lasers deeper ultraviolet then price goes into thousand of pounds and power goes down 5mw - 20mw max.

But there is other approach of making SLA/DPL printer, instead of using laser as source of light and mechanical or optical mechanism to move laser as printer head is used to print in normal 3d printer.
Is possible to get high resolution screen ( like TTF display ) just black and white mono-crystal display ( the calculator screen ) and use it as a matrix.
Instead of printing layer by moving laser from point to point you printing whole layer at once Polarization and mono-crystal matrix working as shutters they blocking or allowing light to be transferred by pixels as a source of light i propose to use Reptile terrarium light CFL ( it producing kind of white light with 30 % of UVA nad 5-10% UVB ) this length of light is perfect for all UV resins.
Unfortunately Standard TTF LCD screen even if you remove CFL lights and replace them with UVA-UVB light source will be useless the TTF matrix has build in UV filter making it pretty useless for that. I saw Some DPL build on Projectors but they have lo resolution and not so great light source ( low in UV light )

No no, net power. I red somewere its like V*current * 0.4, don't know how much real is this.
Thank for informing this things.

I was thinking about lcd mask and lamp just like you, but reprap construct looks much easyer for me to make cause of softwere. Also there maight be problem with screen that maight not lets UV go throu.
Theres a guy that made it on 20mW blue or more like violet lasers.
And pixels are 0,17-0,2m, laser can be like 0,15-0,1.

I was thinking about puting 3W led UV, and mask it with hole 0,1mm...
