put a new beam of the exact same dimensions of the old beam back in.

the fact that its oversized doesn't matter when compared to the hassle and cost of building around it like you are talking about. it doesn't hurt anything being oversized, and i bet you the stucco finish will look better.

>>1083727

Go 3/4 and 1/4, presumably their glue joints will be better than yours. Worst case it still has the strength of the 3/4.

>>1083720
it is possible but it would be cheaper and better to make one from scratch

>>1083722
Probably correct. It would nee to be reinforced and have the front and rear made to be more streamlined.

>>1083725
I think I've heard of drug smugglers doing this. But they have to do it because they don't really have any other alternatives.

So thinking about it now, I guess it would be DIYable

Is there a way to put a piece of small cardboard in the corner when you seal it?
Itll leave the corner unsealed so you can pull it apart?

>>1083463
Used to work in a place that bagged stuff. Has more to do with the plastic that usually has a crosshatch pattern so it makes a good but weak seal. You have to leave a part that isn't sealed that's big enough to get a good grasp on.

found this. doesn't quite show how it's sealed, but it does show a bunch of expensive equipment I probably can't get. surely there's something I could use at home?

do you know how much energy is required to get shit uphill?

>>1083822
Less than 111 Wh. A standard 6 cell lipo. I have an electric bike with a 800-900 Wh battery made of 18650s and that takes me up a lot of hills before it runs out of juice.

When money doesn't matter you can put whatever the fuck you like, unless you are a tasteless shit who doesn't know what you like and just go for the "best" because you have no idea what is what.

Modernist interior is a genre, just like steampunk is a genre, there is no "best".

If you have money but no taste and want to build a house, hire an architect, or just dick it yourself and make another shitty Trump tower.

That said, if you want maximum safety, get a legit bunker like bunkeranon.

If you want maximum comfort, make an extremely controlled environment like a space station that is sitting on the ground and you can adjust tempreture and humidity etc.

If you want to survive flooding, build it off the ground.

There is no best. It depends on many things.

For interior it is really a matter of taste and what you like. If you have more money than taste, just befriend some designers and hang out with them, or go to some famous art schools, or just spend time reading design magazines, or just hire an architect to copy a villian lair from a movie you like. Just don't use any container.

>>1083327
Taste is subjetive is like you think sneakers is the best chocolate and i think it's twinks (not true btw)

but let me change the question to "What rich people put for ceiling, floors, furniture and walls" i think i specify better here, and yes i'm tasteless, i know how to flow colors in clothes and furniture but i need the eyes of other people because i'm not a island, but there are things that are obviusly better than another things, like you can't say Fíat is better than Ferrari, well the same with this, you can't say a Carpet floor is better than marble because Carpet floor last 4 years and get dirty very fast and marble floor last a lifetime and it's easy to clean, so beign rational for taste can go well

>voltage change of the .3oh coil

wat? If the piece you're talking about is acting like a thermocouple then no, you would need an amplifier to do so. You can easily purchase temperature sensors and go by air temperature if you want, or make an amplification circuit for your thermocouple.

>>1083324

I could easily buy a lot of things, but this i want to do just for fun.

So you're saying if the coil is powered, there would be no measureable voltage change as it heats?

>>1083317
>buying original full price arduinos

Why do you think it's designed for five? You should charge each cell by itself.

>>1083241

There isn't really an issue with overcharging the one good cell.

The problem you're going to have is that the one charged cell is going to be dumping all the current it can into the uncharged ones. Depending on how good the cells are (specifically, how low their ESR is), that may well not be much better than a dead short.

If you place some resistors in the neighborhood of 10Ω and 2W in series with each cell, you'll be alright. Downside is that the charger might not work properly.


However, if that...schematic...you've drawn up is ACTUALLY how the charger is designed (all cells are simply connected in parallel, just ditch the fully-charged cell. I don't expect you'd see any problems with the resultant 25% increase in per-cell bulk charge current. If you're paranoid, just replace RPROG with a higher value to set the current limit lower.

OP here.

Holy shit I'm so fucking dumb.

I just realized that this powerbank is in parallel configuration. Meaning I can just take out this green fully charged battery and the charging circut will still work like nothing happened.

It does not matter if there are 2 or 20 batteries in parallel, it will still work!

Studder not studded. I'm an idiot

>>1083070
You need a current limiting resistor in there. You can just disconnect the wire going to the middle of the switch, solder the wire to the resistor, then solder the other side of the resistor back to the switch.

What value of resistor you ask? I'll assume that the leds are rated for 20mA, so somewhere around 470 ohms should be about right. You can increase the resistance to reduce the amount of current and make the batteries last longer. Why not just use a 1 kohm?

>>1083079
You can probably get away with a resistor as small as 75 ohms, but you are better off not pushing the limits, especially since you have probably already damaged the red led.

It depends.

Are you retarded?

entry level 3d printer: 1000 bucks
solidworks license: "free"
assortment of screws, servos, arduinos, electronics basics: 1000 bucks

>>1083067
In terms of engineering knowledge?
No, for some reason engineering knowledge is a hereditary trait for the male line of my family.

Academically?
Yes.

>>1083082
I've got a 3D printer, bought it years ago but I never got it quite calibrated right though.
They sold me one with a 0.7mm nozzle, I didn't know at the time how ridiculous that was.
There was a lot of sketchy stuff with that purchase, I was charged the import transaction fee by the shipping company and the only reason I could imagine they sold me a 0.7mm nozzle was so that I would (and did) end up buying an overpriced 0.1mm nozzle from them.

Also, the parts of the 3D printer didn't fit together as they should have, made assembly difficult.

>>1082892
Easy enough to repair most likely, but are you going to gamble shipping and all the additional costs on something that may cost an additional $200 than you paid, only to flip it for $50 more than what you paid?

There is a reason there are a lot of listings anon, no one buys them because they are not worth it. Think son.

Depends on your skill, equipment, and how much you value your life and time.

Back in the 70s granddad used to repair old TVs as a side job. On occasion when a TV better than the one he owned would turn up, he would buy it as broken for pennies and fix it as set it up for home use.
When i was born there where like 4 television screens wired in various dangerous ways in the living room.

However those where the cathode ray tube powered macromachines of the days of old.
Very few things a "handyman" could fix on his own exist these days.
The newer things are a pain to fix because they are less standard, no repair manuals exist, even the owner manuals are just 2 sheet printouts telling you not to lick the sockets.
Depending on the damage to the TV you might be able to fix it you might not. Again depends on your skill and equipment.

>>1082893
well first i am not trying to sell it i just want a working tv for myself.

and i would also only go for local ones, which i could pick up myself. so shipping would be out of the way

looks good, would've added slots on the bottom or a leather strip to hold them.

opie could easily retrofit some pool cue clips to hold the rods in as well.

>>1082863
Oh, wait, disregard, the handles sit though holes, that shit is solid as a rock. Not sure what >>1082860 is suggesting a fix for though.

How much current? I'm thinking a membrane switch or capacitive touch sensor connected to a power relay.

>>1082522

Simple capacitance switch but it has to be backed up with an SCR for high voltage.
Haven't built one of those in years. Will have to see if I still have designs floating around.

>>1082549
Ah heck, the design is here.

I have a much more cut down version but with todays raspi etc it's easier to just use it as a sensor.

>>1082413
cutting what?

>>1082428
When a metal flake embeds itself into your body you just submerge the wound into cutting fluid.
The wound will get infected and filled with pus, which then will lubricate the metal allowing you to remove it from the wound.

>>1082413
That is Jizz, right???

>>1082238

where do you live? maybe reevaluate 3d printing. look for a local hackerspace?

Depends on what you actually need it for and how good of a sculpture you are.

You could carve the limbs and torso out of wood and join them together with thick wire joint that could hold their form.

You could use a polymer or wax clay that retains its elasticity if you need it to be very detailed. Something like Cx5 if a good material and relatively cheap/reusable. Or you could make your own wax.

You could get a off the shelf action figure and fiddle with that.

Again it depends on your skill and needs. If you want more specific answers you are going to need to give us more information.

>>1082238
Thick copper wire, duct tape and old clothes. Made a monster thing for halloween a few years back, left it on the porch. Freeked out roommate. So i left in in the bathroom next time, but with newly added large breast and a french maids outfit. Same monster face.
