That looks terrible.

Anyways, a tip.

Get yourself a cheap laser printer, some xylene (hardware store) and a brush. Print something on thick paper, lay it flat down on cardboard and start brushing with xylene.

Use something to push the paper down (burnishing) and repeat a few times.

The image from the paper is now transferred to the cardboard. People always are amazed how you got the image on.

For extra info, this process is called "solvent transfer".

No but it's a great idea mate. Have 3 for dudes and 3 for chicks on hand for birthdays.

Good plan.

Also love this solvent transfer idea

Not like that.

Take a wave and make it really tiny, like really.

There's no way you can make a microwave without acquiring the main components, like the magnetron, transformer and the metal case, and at that point it's probably wiser to buy one rather than to nigger rig it together.

i wana make it cause science, not cause i wil use it, please help me

Open it farther than it's supposed to with pliers?

>>992198
Currently attempting.

>>992203
Shit. It snapped away from the pliers and I lost it. Getting another binder clip.

materials?

>>991788
Maybe EVA foam or wood would be your best bet

>>991788
have a long central core of pvc pipe or a metal pipe. Buy carvable foam. Something that can be sanded. cut it and stack it on the central core so that there is equal amounts of foam on all sides and the pipe is in the middle. Now start carving and sanding till you got the cone shape then carve and sand till you get the spiral. Lathe the handle out of wood or something.

If you want it to light up, there will be a whole different process which requires some thought but it is definitely possible. All you need is a WS2812 LED strip, an arduino mini and the FastLED library or other such library and some coding. You will have to redo the blade with maybe clear resin or something. I dunno. Requires thought like i said.

you need a fucking clear picture not this shaking bullshit

Any markings on the screwdriver itself?

Try not having parkinsons first.

I hear bears are rife on busses. Good idea on the knife/glass hammer combo.

Bears and Cubs are only on the buses in Chicago.

Jokes aside; a lot of knives have glass-breakers and/or gut hooks/strap cutters but I've yet to see one that looks anything like a gentleman's knife. That is what I'm going for and I just need a bit of help with learning how to design something like that.

>how to get started
draw up your blades, frame, and scales

>cannot have thumb studs ( I'm thinking nail knicks, holes like Spyderco or a flipper ) nor can it be automatic. I also can't have the blade(s) lock

because of the wharncliffe blade youll have a pretty straight hadle, and i believe a flipper will be in the way. I suggest you include a spyderco style opening hole. Are you going to use a ball bearing detente to keep the blades open?

Build off the chip?,,,
Or get a smaller board that has the pins you need... Arduino nano is my usual choice. Arduino pro is a bit smaller since no USB on it.

>>988665

I like the look of the Nano a lot. But what do you mean by "Build off the chip?" I'm not familiar with that term.

Thanks for your help, by the way.

Google how to build a "minimal Arduino".

Generate electrical power. Small engines like that can be used to power a small town.

Nothing, because I would never be able to afford to run it.

Why do bees attract horse flies?

every time a local guy moves his bees to a lot near me. I see a huge increase in horse flies.. and the closer to the hives I get, the more horse flies seem to be hanging around?

and I know its the bees bringing them around because as soon as the hives are gone, blam horse flies gone too.

>>982340
Why would you grow bees? They're useless assholes that sting you.

Im trying to use my prusa i3 to print a quadcopter:

http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:511668

or at least as big as that, the problem is that althought the bed is in ,theory 200x200mm it actually is more like 190x190 but not from the bed itself but the Y belt.

So even if I download the sorter version I still need like those 10 mm in the Y axis to print it.

I thought about taking out a little the rods of the Y axis but that would mean a lot of adjustments later and if I don't do it carefully I might break or deform something.

The other idea I had is to change the Y-belt clamp to one more compact, but I don't know if such thing would actually give me the small extra distance I need.

So... any ideas?

>>980903
i would suggest against printing a quad frame

the first time you'll crash it will disintegrate, and you will crash it since its a 200 sized quad
you'd be better off buying a $15 frame off HK

>>981045

but one of the points of 3d printing is about replication and redundancy, right? I mean, if it breaks I don't have to wait to some chinese sweatshop to make it for me, I could even carry spare parts that extend beyond some screws and batteries...

If I rely on online shops, whats the point then?

And anyway, I'm still losing 10 mm, this can actually be more important than a quadcopter since what is actually happening is that I can print all the designs that assume that I have a commercial-like 3d printer with exactly 200x200mm.

Get a AC unit for your car from a junk yard and install it.

Under dash air con, save you a lot of pain

>>994494
u acn get those in 12V?? the ones i find have a belt driven compressor

You will also need 25 led drivers. Check the input voltages.

why in fuck would you need 2500W LED in the first place? Protip: you don't.

>I want to sew my own swim diapers.
Cool

>Or buy material and let them get custom-made somewhere.
This will be expensive. Probably about $30-50 per pair if you can find a novice to do it.

>What materials should I use?
Synthetic fabrics so they don't hold water.

>WHat will be the cost, for buying materials and getting it sewn together?

Materials, probably like $20-25 you're looking at less than a half yard of fabric for the inner and outer layer. Elastic for the legs and waist and buttons if you want them. Thread to sew it together. Cheaper if you get stuff on sale. This assumes you have a sewing machine. Again getting it done professionally will add $30-50.

What Materials do I need exactly?

I've only been once at a tailor,
only because of some holes in my jeans.

So, will I have to bring the materials with me?

For the size,
I guess I measure my body at home, right?

>I'm doing only on my cell phone
Get a real computer, hopefully you have a decent set of headphones at least?
Even as dumpster dive find with a Pentium 4 would probably work.

>>994179
Not sure, but I think you are asking to much to a cell phone. On computer, you can DL audacity, free and convinient
