Silicone is basically worthless.
Research epoxies. They're some of the most amazing plastics we have today.

Line the interior with solid panels and seal with your choice of sealant.

Remember if you are going to try fuck around with the pressure in/out side of the box, the seal goes on the high pressure side so they blow into a crack instead of away from a crack.

>"Rustic" POS box
>no joinery
>glue overspill, left in place on purpose
Fuck hipsters.

Answer OP, use an epoxy resin. Line the inside with muslin if needed to fill gaps, it'll turn into basically micarta when the resin cures.

add lolis

>>1242269
This lolis and traps

>>1242265
Sell good shit not just shitty crumbeled consrruction paper and old ass shit bulbs that people been replacing for better energy savings

>What should I try next?
not gluing a round thing that'll turn inside a round hole

>>1242041
epoxy or silicone would possibly do a better job

>>1242041
pinch sections of the shaft so it's a little bigger than the bore of the cog. or build/melt up the shaft with some of the same plastic. use a vise or clamp to press fit them together.

sounds like you ruined a perfectly good set of headphones, and killed an innocent thread. good job.

look into portable amplifiers and portable speakers.

>>1241428
they were fucked and i decided to experiment a bit
i dont want to buy the whole thing because i want to learn aswell, also i'm guessing they arent loud enough to liquify your insides

>>1241427
>just tell me what i need and how to set it up

I used power FETs in my setup but it was gnarly

Show up 5-10 minutes early, work hard.

>>1241158
Also ask "What do you need me to do".

>>1241153
How much did you lie?

Jamal, plz

>>1238627
give it back to its owner, now it doesn't look stolen at all

Airbrush "Totes Not Stolen" on to the frame.

You could use any metal of a higher melting temperature than your working temp. Wood is also a cheap way to do it, but not of good quality. But my recommendation would be to use Gypsum Cement

>been doing a lot of research
Really? I googled "how to cast silver" and the first link explained what materials casts are made of. Try it yourself!

>>1237891
can't use would or metal because i need to be able to delicately carve my design into the material and then poor molten hot silver into the mold. Both wood and metal would be too difficult to carve small, detailed designs (most of which will be on rings).

>>1232800
angle grinders are the worst tool
so loud
so messy
cutoff disks can explode and kill you
wire wheels shoot needles at you
sparks burn holes in your pants
it's just a disaster every time
just use a hacksaw and a file

>>1232818
sometimes all of those things are still better than fucking around with handle files

as in, most of the time and wear some damn gloves and eye pro you idiot

yeah mate ill just hacksaw my way through a bit of 12mm plate real quick and charge the customer for my time because "i don't like how loud it is :("

>>1241381
Forgot to mention I also thought of plywood lining the window recess and inserting rebar in between

Why didn't you get wood a week ago?

Because I wanted to leave earlier, then it was trending away, and now it's coming straight at me. My house can stand a cat 2 or 3 but now I just want to be sure. Hindsight is always 20/20 you fuck. so do you have some legitimate knowledge or do you just spit milk out your ass

>>1241179
Polyurethane. My aftermarket swaybar bushings are polyurethane, it's squishy and rubber.

>>1241179
Rubber pads. Go check out a home store and look for thick rubber mats or garage floor mats. They are made to get wet and get oily. Plus you can cut probably two pads or more out of them.

Get a piece of old tire tread, cut to size. Pro-tip-free if you scrounge around.

Still looking for ideas for a sub 20" following drone that can still fly whilst mostly enclosed in a static skin. Willing to buy or build.

Finished this build and the way it flies is like night and day compared to the POS GB190 kit and X220S that I started off with.

Happy with its performance.

>frustrating stories of stuff that should've just worked but didn't?

Lawny. Such a wast of time and money. The transmitter and reciever were super twitchy. Impossible to mow in a straight line or even see wtf it is doing on the other side of the yard. Super dangerous. Buddy dinged my fender on my truck pretty good dicking around poping wheelies. Next step was a 5.wtf ever ghz camera so i can mow from my living room tv. Was gonna make it autonomous but the tech is slowly reaching for consumer priced robomowers. And i am broke atm.

He'll probably just become a battle bot over winter or be 4x4 and hide a lithium pack and a resivor for booze so i can sneek drinks into concerts. Don't know.

I shitpost it here sonetimes but i found a couple more pics so

Yes spray with bleach and pressure wash the ahit out of it. You won't hurt anything, the chest is lined in plastic.

Sounds good, just when washing the inside, be sure to take out the hose/similar stuff for water droplets (that normally just leads to tray above compressor) to away flooding the screw terminal.

>>1239383
just throw that shit out, a new one costs like $40

OP here, I should add that the magnetron stopped working while a cook operation was in process. It was humming along with 20 seconds to go when the magnetron shut off.

Find the leads running from the board to the transformer. Put a clamp on amp meter there and see what you get when it's running.. if nothing then it's something in the 120 side like a fuse, door switch, relay on the board... or potentially the low voltage coil in the transformer is toast which you can check for by tediously checking continuity through all or in the case of the relay look for voltage coming from it when it's running... if you get amp draw then it's a problem in the high voltage side.. capacitor, diode, transformer, or magnetron... magnetron should have very low resistance between the two contacts and no circuit path to ground from either terminal... capacitor check for farads, the diode check with a 9 v battery to see if it's working.. transformer is continuity. Most microwaves these days leach capacitor to ground but if your paranoid bridge the contacts on the capacitor with a well insulated screwdriver or pliers after unplugging the unit.. take pictures of wires before disconnecting them.. more stuff in a microwave to stop it from running than lets it run... good luck

>>1239034
Also worth mentioning that the high voltage cap is not on the board... post model # for more specific advice... also did it completely die or just stop heating?

I just recently had my tv die from a power surge in a thunderstorm. My dumb ass had plugged everything else into a surge protector... Anyway, I found that my board had no continuity across like, 4 or 5 diodes. I guess I could have replaced them, but fuck, I just ordered a new board for $40 including shipping and called it a day. I recommend you do the same. My board was also a cheap POS that didn't even have a fuse. Cheap Walmart Black Friday shit.

Check the output from the power supply board. If it's fucked, replace it. If it's not, then it's the main controller board and you're out a TV.

>>1242291
will probably end up doing this. where'd you get it from?

>>1242293
that's the bit with the 16 multicolored wires, right? will look up how to test it and give it a go, thanks

>>1242272
Drill.

dremel a slot into it and use a screwdriver or epoxy another screw onto it and use a screwdriver after it's cured. precision counts, don't derp the threads on the female part of wherever that came from
