The inside of the solder "injection". Spring loaded with a button on the side.

>>939827
That's a desoldering pump, you use it to suck solder from boards.

Load the spring, heat up the solder, put the nozzle next to the liquid solder and suck it in by pressing the button.

Ok cheers, I figured that out with quora. What is the orange substance, and the other wire with in the image beside the keyboard?

>>935995
Clearly it's a crank.

Yeah but for what? It doesn't have a handle that spins so I don't think it is for some old tractor or anything like that, maybe for part of a well?

It's clearly white and gold.

Your cables are too short to really do much with it. Everything is pulled tight, no slack for routing.

I would just go with a nice paintable cable raceway down the wall, personally.

this

your cables are too short to go to the right

if you can maybe try to stick some cable tie mounts on the under side of the desk and then run everything to the right side of the desk and then drop from there, under the desk, so it will be totally invisible

>We had neighbors sneak over while we weren't occupying the house and rig up extension cords so they could sap our electricity

how did you know

I'd install cameras.

Also, out of curiosity - you pay your electric bill to the phone company?

>>935428
Because the house was unoccupied, everything was unplugged, but my mother kept the power on because we visited occasionally to clean it up. When your electricity bill goes up to $50 a month despite using absolutely no power for lights, heat or flushing the toilet, there's only a few things it could be.

Milling this old track tomorrow for a anvil. Will post pics if thread is still around. Also got some spikes to tinker with. Should I mill a hardy hole? What size are they?

I was thinking of buying this set. What would I still need to get in addition to this besides a hairdryer or something.

>>920608
Lokomo.
I don't know where you live but here on the old continent old Soviet states have good blacksmithing shit. There is still lots of stuff available as it wasn't that long ago they were used. Aren't as expensive. I bought an eastern block anvil for my friend who is a blacksmith. Was cheaper and as good as a lokomo....

1. make sure the condenser is clean, and the evaporator for that matter.
2. switch to metal ducting, it flows more air with less friction. Tape all the joints with foil tape, not duct tape.
3.insulate your ductwork, because youre bringing unconditioned air into your living space, and heat is transferring through your duct material into the room air.
4. room size? LxWxH
5 A/C btu rating?
6. just get the window a/c.

For reference i cool my upstairs master bedroom (12'x12'x10'=1440 cubic feet) with a 5000 btu window a/c. i use a honeywell turbo force fan to circulate the air. and i keep the door closed. it doesnt have any problem keeping the room 25F cooler than outside air.

i apologize for my imperial units, i cant into metric, im too old and set in my ways.

>>938558
1. It seemed alright when I looked at it, but I'll run some compressed air through it to be sure

2. I don't really want to buy more tubing, but I'll try using foil tape in you think it will help. Do you think it would be helpful to make some kind of joining piece to connect the two 100mm hoses to the 150mm hose?

3. What should I use to insulate it? Fibreglass? Foam? Preferably something cheap I can pick up at the hardware store.

4. Room is roughly 12'x14'x8' = ~1350 cubic feet. It's small.

5. Cooling capacity is quoted at 2.6kW which I believe converts to about 8800 BTU, but I can't into imperial so I could be wrong.

6. That would be the right solution, but it's just not something I can afford at the moment.

A change of 25F is only 14C, ideally I want to be able to have a 38F reduction, from 113F to 75F. In its current configuration I seem to get a maximum of about 18F.

1. if its clean, then its clean.
2. foil tape wont make a difference with your current ducts. and making a plenum box wont help with flow on your current setup, just make sure its sealed where the three hoses join.
3. duct wrap or something similar pic related, fiberglass inside aluminium outside.

your op pic looks like you have black paper taped over a window wall, could you hang a heavy curtain as an insulator? or add an awning to keep sun off the windows? keep as much heat out as possible. if you need 38F drop, you will probably need a more powerful A/C. Best of luck though!

If you can scrounge up your own frames and motors, then you'd really only need to buy the printer head and main board.

Frame could def. be wood or something, but you need nice stepper motors, which you could salvage from printers or something. In the link he's using dvd drives.

>>939787
I tried. I ended up buying a kit for 240$. Now that I've seen it, though, Im building more cnc stuff. Openbuilds.com or org or whatever has very cheap frame supplies. EBay sells reprap hotends. Belt driven axis' are easy as shit to build with linear extrusion and home depot parts. I bought 28 shower door rollers for the openbuilds stuff, they fit beautifully, and don't cost 4-5$ a piece like they want for wheels.

Anyhow controls are the most confusing part. I use an mks base 1.2 board. It has the software and stepper drivers all in one. I know there's an arduino shield, and I have one, but I haven't gotten into how to actually use it as mks base does it all in one board, and it was pre-programmed.

>>939906
Also, I'll check back here for the next hour if you would like pics of anything or explanations. I'm no pro, in fact I just got my first good print Saturday. But, shit is always more clear when you can see it.

Pretty trivial except your car is almost certainly 12v. So then you just need a Usb car charger and plug that into your cigarette lighter.

>>939591
Or get this you just plug in a 2 sided 3.5 jack from phone to cassette player. Skip the middleman. No batteries of moving parts. Its the technological revolution apple doesn't want you to know about.
Bluetooth is a technology ahead of it's time. It may be viable when we get decent super capacitor batteries, but for know it's just a shiny thingy too slow to be useful but to cool for school.

It's mjust a pain to take my phone out of my pocket and connect the 3.5 jack every time I want music.
Right now I soldered the BT chip to my radio so it actually works, the only problem is battery and turning it on every time.

>>940316
I have no idea, i will put my drill in her pockethole, that's for sure.

>>940316
SFW board bro.

Yes.

>>940316
Nope. but that's because I started picking up a ton of offcuts of plywood since buying them. Jointer was a huge help turning palletwood into nice boards, got planer after that and haven't had a reason to really use it yet :/

>>939686
No

>>939686
use google before us. That might help.

>>939686
You are much better off buying a used rack off of craigslist.
Its one of those things that everyone buys, and then it sits around and then you sell for cheap

Youll spend more money and end up with shittier equipment if you diy it.

>Nothing fancy, just for playing simple games
I don't own one and I can't answer your question, but you'll probably have to be a bit more specific than that.

>>938627
Sorry. I want to make a small handheld device that's able to play non-intensive games. Indie games, like Risk of Rain, or Binding of Isaac. Maybe emulate older games from the 80s-90s.

Yes it's good enough for that

Assorted small files, moulds, a small furnace capable of melting metal, a few crucibles, dremel, etc.

It really depends on how you want to do it and what materials you wish to use. I've made rings with wood, brass, steel, etc and every one of them required a slightly different method.

Google is your friend, there are very, very many tutorials on ring making. Go watch some youtube videos.

google "lost wax casting" as well

looks chinese to me rather than japanese

>>940042
how about post a fucking picture that is actually lit up

>>940042
>Looks at catalog
>WTF is a samurai lamp?
>sees picture
>oh

Yeah, what anon said, it's Chinese. Or at least the figure is a chinese person, who knows where the lamp was made. No way to assess it's value from that crappy ass picture. It could be hand made by a famous artist or it could be flea market kitsch, honestly can't tell.

Check the base and everywhere else for a manufacturer or artists mark. That'll give you some ammunition to google with.
