there are some pretty cheap (sub 300 dollar) laser cutters and 3d printers on aliexpress that you could easily modify to fit a dremel or a router to cut plastic.

>>1237336
No
3d printers and laser cutters arent built with lateral forces in mind, they simply wont be stiff enough to chew through material without flexing and walking making your cut inaccurate.

>>1237294
The axis movements in all of these small machines are pretty accurate nowadays, cheap little controller boards with proper steppers.

It looks stiff enough to cut through some plastic if you have a stout enough spindle

I've been looking into this from the perspective of being as cheap as possible to play around with. This guy has some interesting cnc machines he's built from basic materials. Probably not what OP is looking for, but interesting for /diy/ tinkering.

What are you protecting yourself from.

It's easier just to buy a bulletproof vest.

>seems straightforward enough
Yeah, and making clothes is just cutting and sewing fabric, and framing a house is just cutting wood and hammering nails.

Oof
Hope you recover ok anon

So what's stopping you from putting a washer and dryer in there?

>>1241927
Might as well convert it into a landfill.

>>1241929

City requires a new inspection for new sewer drains. Have to pass before I move appliances in.

>>1241931

yes, which is going to be a fun experience because I can't even move a storage trailer in because I have a bunch of nonfunctional (as in not starting or rolling) vehicles in front of the garage doorway.

Have a similar problem, but I've just got a 'portable' AC unit.
The hose thing does not fucking fit or stay in the window what so ever.

Really the solution is always the same:
Build a bracket that fits in the window, and holds the thing in there.
Insulate well around edges with foam tape or such.
Use foam board sandwiched between plywood (with something weather resistant on the outside) to fill large gaps as in OP's pic.

you could buy a small split system. my cuckshed has a Daiken.

>where an A/C doesn't fit the orientation of the window? What was your solution?
literally what you see in your op image except my family used a pane of plexiglass

Concrete is full of rocks and therefore will not yield a perfectly spherically smooth shape. You can try adding self leveling compound or filter the rocks out and just use the powder

>>1239996
Tap the mold for awhile aft you pour it, this should work out any air pockets near the surface which is what caused the voids

>>1239996
Next time try mortar mix. It's just sand and cement minus the large stone aggrigate. Will settle better.
Also as >>1240013 says, you have to vibrate or tap the mold to get air bubbles out.

Just get any light fixture with a flush back (nearly all of them) and mount it over the hole to hide it. While you are at it make sure all of the metal is earthed with a wire terminated to it.
t. electrician.

>>1237601
Assuming that means drilling into the ceiling around the hole. I'm sure that would be sufficient for most lights, but I'm a little worried about doing that with the ceiling fan. It's going over our bed and I'd hate to have it fall on us while we're sleeping.

I think it would be nice if we could utilize the existing mounting hardware since it seems so sturdy.

>>1237606
Yeah you are going to need more than plaster for the fan but the fixing already there will work. The end of that center pipe will be threaded and the mounting for fans is threaded so it's just a case of finding / making a thread adapter if they don't match.
Some fans also use a hook, in that case you could just drill a hole in the pipe for the hook to grab.

splurging on an olympic bar and cross supports so that you don't crush your throat or crack your sternum/ribs.

>Is there a better way to have made this?

Yes. That's third world shit tier at it's finest. Literally balancing heavy weight over your neck with rusty steel pipe which isn't suitable structural at all. Please proceed and remove yourself from this planet before you reproduce.

Take this over to /fit/. They'll sperg out all over it.

Hickory, now fuck off

>The motor runs at 12V and draws ~3A, which is well under the motor's maximum current draw

It appears that you have confused "maximum" with "nominal"

Your motor will burn out. Kill yourself now.

Maybe I quoted the datasheet wrong. It says the "maximum efficiency" current is 4.5A, and I'm drawing ~3.

>>1241995
Link to the motor you are using.

kys still recommended as a solution.

>>1241266
Will that thing supply enough power? At 3.5 A thats only putting out 42W, I thought it would need to be rated higher to match the load on it or won't it just be draining the battery's?

>>1241448
That one would be for maintaining the battery state and occasional recharge use, say after a random infrequent power failure.

How are you using the system ?

Sorry, the implants in

Nobody here can make a recommendation better than eBay itself. You search what you're looking for and look for reputable or reliable sellers, and double check to make sure you know what you're getting. Try "variable boost converter" with combinations of your specs in there. You're not going to find something specifically "short circuit proof" or specifically "RELIABLE", but if you know your shit you'll easily be able to fix anything that goes wrong on it. You can coat the whole thing in epoxy (or hot glue if you're a sick bastard) to waterproof it, but it's really not worth doing unless you plan on taking it swimming, a good enclosure will stop anything from getting in there and shorting it. And in the end you get what you pay for anyway.

It's not the full-on industrial top-of-the-line model, but it will do everything you need it to do.

Don't bother with corded electric one. Maybe get one of those as a backup for shit you can't get the air hose to, but otherwise not up to snuff.

>>1240677
Air is as light as it gets assuming you have a compressor that can keep up.
