Kan u B moar snarky?

Basically the big box looking faggot on the top is attached with a hinge to the base, and to the top cigarette holding nigger. Each of the cigarette holding niggers is attached to each other via those metal-rod looking kikes, so the top faggot only need to be attached to one of the niggers.

I would work on not being a faggot.

Get your priorities straight, and everything else falls into place.

I'm not thinking from a "look cool" POV, which is why I think using body modding to do it is stupid. Earpieces are an uncomfortable pain in the ass and they break all the fucking time. Just looking to avoid that.

It might work, but if the magnets were strong enough they could cause damage to the nose bridge. I would look into finding something to modify the nose piece so it would hold onto the bridge of the nose rather than trying to use magnets.

Somehow get in contact with the set designer and ask does he have that sort of information logged somewhere? Whatever you are seeing on the movie screen is almost certainly going to be different than what it was like in real life.
Ignore the hassle and go with whatever looks the closest.

Print off a color picture and have a paint store custom mix to match.

trying to match a backlit led screen color to real-life value is fantastically complex and inexact - you can get the rgb value of each color from a(ny) picture easy enough, but paint irl always gonna look different, you can't literally live in a film.

If you got the swatches borrowed from HD already, or can obtain a pantone swatchbook somehwere, go to:
>color.adobe.com
- upload that picture, you can pick out the main color areas you need, then try matching swatches to the solid area color swatches produced from selection there, easier. You can also take a screengrab from here, or calculate direct rgb values; all of which dont help much/any trying to translate these rgb values to some retarded paintmix system. Better just trying to swatch match to monitor as above, then use swatches as the basis for ordering paint. And give up on the idea of perfection, you can maybe get near as tho.

>It is possible to improve the power of my bike to not get tired when I'm riding?
Ride often and commit to a high protein diet, this is more of a /fit/ problem.
You can't make the bike to be more "powerful", unless you use motors, you can switch to a lower gear but the muscle power it is the same for the same distance. Maybe add a third wheel to reduce the effort to maintain the bike stable.

Trying to improve a bike is like trying to improve a spoon, you can change the design, but you're left with the same thing.

They sort of look like some kind of shafting, like an unfinished PTO

I have a simple vacuum pump intended for HVAC applications. Was like $60 off eBay. Works great for resin/silicone casting.

Appears to be essentially identical to mine.

Guess I'll bite the bullet then.

Show us some of your work dude.

I've done loads of fibreglass in but never used a vacuum system

why don't you strap on a pair and pull it out

The "self extracting collet" is marketing speak, and you will still get shit caught from time to time.
Just hit it with a piece of wood, its not going to be stuck so hard you will damage the collet

>>998262
So just hit the top of the bit with a piece of wood? Swing straight down on it?

By the way, I'm only accustomed to spray painting from rattle cans.

>HVLP gun from Harbor Freight

the $10 one?

you need to completely take apart and clean those suckers immediately after you're done or it will quickly turn to a paper weight

get a piece of scrap and really practice getting the spray correct

>get a piece of scrap and really practice getting the spray correct
So much this. When I got my first one I thought I would repaint an old metal toolbox that had super fucked up paint. First attempt looked like ass so I stripped it down and had another go. Still ass. Third attempt: ass. 6 times I had to strip that fucker down before I got it right.

How third world of a country do you have to live in to grab a big stick and throw it in your car and call it a project?

That being said, it is remarkably straight. Some nice stain on that and maybe a rod through it and a nice square mount might look pretty nice on a wall.mits a bit big to be vertical' but horizontal over a television might look good.

If you have televisions where you live.

Maybe go with silicone pads with conductive traces on PCB

>Has anyone ideas how one could make nice pads like on Pioneer DDJ.
Hmmm,,,,,,
>Google image search for "Pioneer DDJ midi controller"
>dozens of different models shown, from a couple hundred to thousands of dollars, all with different controls
you may have to post a link to the actual model you are talking about

If you just want nicer buttons, then use PC keyboard buttons.
Sparkfun is selling Cherry switches now, tho prolly not the cheapest price around.

If you want *REALLY* nice rectangle/square buttons, go to Digikey and search for NKK button switches.
And bring a credit card. The cheapest ones are like $6-$7 a piece; many cost more than $10 each.
They are awesome tho: smooth as silk with a nice let-off and a sweet tech-y sound. Many have clear keycaps and/or LEDs in them.

Alternately: the video game buttons work well overall...
They feel good, they can take being POUNDED on, they don't cost much and you can get LED versions.
All of them that I've seen use a common style of micro switch so you can easily replace it when the button fails--after 10,000,000 presses or so.
The only two downsides IMO is they are kinda big and look rather generic.

Would be perfect if they wouldn't be so high, from videos I can tell they have a stability problem

>>997170
>you may have to post a link to the actual model you are talking about
see pic related, all the ddj have similar push buttons accross models. I guess the large performace pads are silicone and the play, cue and onther buttons are plastic with thin flexible frame, pushing on the tactile buttons on PCB.

>If you want *REALLY* nice rectangle/square buttons, go to Digikey and search for NKK button switches
not very much different from arcade buttons

I'm probably gonna try to get silicone domes from and old keyboard.

You're shit out of luck mate. What you need is a tool belt.

Tungsten is impossible to work with, especially so when it is allready in a specific shape.

My best bet is to sell it, or use the thing... must be a fantastic crucible.
