Close up of the burn.

There is usually a thread dedicated to 3d printing, you would probably have more luck there. You probably want to replace the component that's been overheating and then modify it with a cooling device (just point a fan at it or something if you're not creative). It's also advised to research the bed, and the firmware you're trying to use to heat it, to make sure they actually play nice, and also make sure that the controller board is configured correctly for the bed.

Thanks for the reply m8, the /3dpg/ thread is dead, already replied there to no response. yea the bed is reprap 12v bed, standard. I'm thinking maybe they cheaped out on my ramps board. It was a sainsmart from microcenter.

>Hello, Im new hear and wanted to know if anyone knows if a tumbler would work for sanding small 3d printed parts?
I donno sheet about 3D printing, but I doubt it.

I do have machine tools--and the kinds of poly-whatever thermoplastic that I have sawed, drilled or machined always come out real stringy.
They don't cut smoothly at all. Only Delrin or acetal does that.

>>1055933
Acetal vaper good works with 3D printed parts.

>>1056250
It works on ABS, thats it

>>1055916
Absolutely not

>>1055863

if the spanner is tearing shit up you can use a hammer + chisel and tap each notch in the nut

you'll need a different spanner to get into the dimples.

do you have a tool to get the crank arms off, you'll need that to replace the bottom bracket

>>1055863
Also, keep in mind some parts are reversed threaded. You could be turning the wrong way.

creepy crank arms are normal, I wouldn't start fucking with bottom brackets as well if you dint know what your doing.

I used to BMX for 7 years and the cranks get bent and creaky after so much. not really sure why the creak but I'd leave it alone if I were you.


I always liked the creaking noise it makes to be honest.

>>1055810
AvE just did a teardown on these. They're not professional grade, but for occasional home use they seem to be a pretty good deal even at regular price. And shit, for five bucks? Why not?

just use the normal coupon and get it for $12

>>1055814
That was the higher end model. This one is even crappier.

Well worth $5 though. I have one with a diamond wheel for sharpening tungsten.

>>1055755
you have to post your actual room, not a fucking paint can

Always do the ceiling and baseboards and trim in white. Anything else is going to look ridiculous.

Also, make sure you use a similar paint to what you posted. A good latex gloss is going to look perfect in dark blue.

put uv tainted window sheet sticker things whatever they are called

>>1055716

Reflective window film.

I dont have much experience with tint, does it really help that much?

Sorry the pic cam out sideways for some reason too, here's the back of the speakers

One more thing I'll add, I also have a focusrite scarlet 2i2 audio interface, maybe I can connect the speakers to its monitor input?

Bump for much needed help. Maybe even someone explain to me how any of this cap even works

>>1055645

He could do it without the water and it would do pretty much the same thing.

>>1055645
I for life cannot understand his schematic

can someone please draw a better one thanks

not too tricky,, ever make a compressed water rocket?

same principle, this just releases all the water at once instead of making a stream.

i made one using a bosh grinder as motor.

>>1055618
did you have to break it? because those cost an arm and a leg

>>1055619
Just use a harbor freight grinder

another layer of paint

But the bugs will show?

If you seriously don't know the answer to this then I'll 3D print you a cap for bleach, faggot.

Bruh I love smoking dopey dope

Yes and no.
Smoking a pipe should be done comfy, but it works though. I just can't see a reason for anyone to make a ghetto tobacci'o pipe.

OP here,
Also have enough space behind my monitor and stuff to put those weird foam things (acoustic treatment?) behind but not sure if it's what I'm looking for

>>1055239
Is the desk wall mounted?

>>1055241
No just standard idea desk

Get an electric one? It's the cylinders putting out the vibration for the most part.

>>1055145
I have one as well as a gas one. They are OK but the string is goddamn expensive but you can spool your own. It also has a limited range and still has vibration after a while. I use them for maybe 3 hours when I need to whip.

>>1055143
The best material for attenuating mechanical vibrations is a urethane named Sorbothane. A US company makes and sells it; it can be difficult to source elsewhere in the world.

Most other soft rubber-like materials (rubber, urethane, silicone) hardly reduce vibrations at all.

A thin sheet of Sorbothane glued between two pieces of thin sheet metal also makes a great sound-deadening panel--but its way more expensive than acoustical foam is, and the nature of sound propagation is that you can't ever really absorb, block or reflect it all.

Try there

I think that by taking on these projects, you will take away valuable time and energy that could be otherwise put towards gaining weight.

Hot dog eating competitions, I suggest watching the relevant king of the hill episode and start training at once.

open up the plastic halves where the motor is since there might be a metal lip to hold it together

Can you post a few more pictures?
I'm only familiar with ripping open B&D and Dewalt tools.

If I'm understanding correctly you're probably thinking of just pulling off the front metal part.

Depending on the model specifics you're not going to get that part off without pulling out the Rotor, so I'd suggest you start by opening up the rear end and taking out the brushes.

After that remove the 4 screws from the head and you should be able to pull it off along with the rotor.

I tried that, it doesnt budge.

>>1055096
This is where im at. Supposibly I am suppose to remove this nut above the gear, but it's been a stalemate between using different wrenches and vicegrips/needlenose pliers trying to get opposite traction to dislodge this nut.
