Waterblocks

>>960796
This is how i would go about it:
>Look for an online shop for industrial stuff which does sell to normal customers aswell.
>Buy tubing ( with noteably small width of the walls ) and then look for tube connectors for the same diameter.
>choose connectors which are cheep and copper or stainless steel.
>Try to find something made out of copper as a endpiece for cooling, or get a block (size as the chips you want to cool) and drill a hole halfway through.
>Try to cut off the piece of the connector holding the tube and attach it to the cooling block or even better find a connector that you can directly use.

This is just an idea from a person who worked with tubes similar to your pic before.
Might not be super efficient, but then again, it's a diy build and the point is that it should work atleast.

I appreciate the input! I just hope the seals stay tight, I've heard bad things about custom water cooling solutions leaking. What do I do about the pump/radiator thing that cools the water?

2 shitty end tables, and many huge bonfires

>making things out of very low quality wood which by law has been treated with a highly toxic pesticide

>>958283
I made two compost bins.

>>957191
A literal pit in the ground with some rocks around the edge to rest grills and shit on.

The one in OP's pic is nice too.

>>957191
What no tuyeres? /diy/ likes a fire pit that can double as a forge.

>>957191
dig a hole, make fire in hole

>>956633
Well how do you plan on getting in? Do you want a top hatch?

arson, or planting a faulty one-pot meth lab sounds like a more logical response than fleeing to the woods to simply try and get some sleep


but seriously, surveillance would be a smarter option...get proof of activities and send that to the authorities

>>956633
You're literally going to build a spider hole to sleep in? That's insane.

Re-enforce your doors and windows and wear some earplugs when you sleep.

Oh, and buy a 12ga.

I'm not sure why my pictures are rotating when I post them.

I get weird artifacts occasionally when printing sometimes. Some layers appear to be shifting. How to fix?

Running a prusa i3 clone and slic3r.

I'm pretty much convinced that I need to buy a 3d printer.

Before I get into this hobby, how much can I realistically expect to spend? I've been eyeballing that monoprice printer for $350 but I'm afraid that after I buy that I will realize that I just need to spend more on another printer for reasons.

>>949936
If it shifts there should be gaps on the other side. Are you sure it's not over-extruding or not being cooled quickly enough?

Clearing space for more solar panels, or removing shade.

I just did this test mount of a portable speaker I'm building. Mounted the power supply, battery charger and audio amplifier. Still need to build and program the DSP/DAC/front panel/wifi/FM/power management/battery monitor board, install the 22.2 V lithium battery and mount the controls.

OP is building a junkyard

>>949542
Not really /diy/ but this morning I walked around the lake next to the McMansion subdivision that I live in (with parents but I'm trying to save to buy my own land) and collected four 55 gallon bags of trash. Not one person thanked me, they just stared from their backyards or out their windows while I picked up trash behind THEIR houses. I hate living here...

The only use I've had for this is engraving my name and address on tools that are worth buying/stealing.

The use of a Dremel tool is only limited by your imagination, you can seriously do pretty much anything with them
>Firing pin plunger in my dad's old pistol broke
>Go buy a drill bit with a shank the right size
>Cut out notch with my trusty old B&D Versa Pak
>Cut off the shank at the length I need
>Shit works
>Go out and buy a Dremel 4000 the next day because fuck the age of the Versa Pak really showed against that tough drill bit

But anyways, you can basically do anything with a rotary tool (Disclaimer: Does not mean you should)
Stupid shit I've done, mostly in HS when our robotics team only power tool was a dremel like the one you posted
>Cutting and perforating sheet metal for bending
>Cutting Lexan as well as knocking out holes for bolts
>Cutting fiberboard and plywood
>Cutting a piece of 3" hex bar stock (Would not recommend)
>Breaking cutoff wheels and embedding them in our safety glasses/the walls
>Cutting hose for air lines
>Drilling pilot holes in wood
I'm sure I can think of more stupid bullshit, we were planning to bronze the thing when it finally broke but it just never gave up

>>962862
I get what you're saying but without wanting to sound like a pretentious prick, I have tools better suited to task.

Play with it. Maybe take turns. Try out different combinations of people. Take it to the dog park.

If the dog is both small AND white like that, dye it with KoolAid. It really only takes an hour, but the results are great.

Up the bum it goes.

Did you change all the batteries of all the fire alarms in the place? My living room one is the only one that beeps when a battery is dead in a different room.

Call Senor Ding Dong

>>962028
Its gotta be this
Inside the wall is just a wiring harness for the fire alarm

Chirping comes from the piezo buzzer inside of the alarm.

>ribbon ide
>cable management

protip: when you try to hide all the cables by wrapping them behind shit, it makes it more difficult to change shit the next time you crack the case open, and pretty much nothing else besides that.

I just need to know which cables go in which slot

I dont speak communism, so i dont understand the size of the apartment, but you could try a multi head minisplit, which is actually a good solution to a 3 bd apt

>>961890
>I don't speak communism
I chuckled.

70m^2 is equivalent to approximately 750 ft2. Which is pretty damned small, so yeah, maybe it's communism after all.

Incidentally, I have one AC and one electric heater in my 1400 ft2 office, so I don't see what the choice is, unless by "AC" you don't mean "air conditioner".

>>961890
Well I'm not gonna argue about the metric system. Can you elaborate on that multi head minisplit ?
>>961899
70m^2 is actually a medium sized apt in Europe.
I do mean air conditioner. I am not familiar with American terminology.

Dig a well or get a hand operated pump.

Wheelbarrow and some large containers.

Failing that, >>961323 or a rain catching setup.

You'd be surprised how much water you can get out of a roof,

>>961322
>>961327
Yeah hand pump is what I'm thinking. Just how far into the dark line in the pic do I have to dig? Is the water level always horizontal like I drew it?

Puts holes in pipes.

It's a pipe holer putter.

>>959025
Like for making a pilot hole?

>>959024
a leather? punch with a depth set so you can create a certain sized and consistent sized hole.

It's a lovely hobby but doesn't have a lot of practical use. In a survival situation you'd be better off suited with basic survival knowledge rather than knowing how to make a stone hatched. Hut building might come in handy in a long term situation, but if you're in for the long run you'd be long past mud huts.
As I said, it's a lovely hobby.

>>952822
In a survival situation you are better off knowing everything. You can turn a survival situation into a thriving situation a lot easier. Basic survival knowledge is easy and doesn't take very long to master.

But, taking a week out of a year to train for survival in anything from primitive technology to medical aid is never wasted and shouldn't be considered a hobby. However, spending a greater portion of your pastime doing these things would be considered a hobby.

>>953056
A week is a long time. I love going "survival camping" where legal to do so, bringing nothing but my clothes and a map/compass. Shits fun as fuck, but it isn't a super practical skill unless you regularly spend time way past the edges of civilization. If you know what you are doing, and you tell people where you are going, making yourself get found in a few days isn't difficult at all
