Universal cannot exist because the cables/cords you have listed all have very different diameter and they all require different winding/bending radius, unless you make one yourself with variable sizes of circles to fit different wires

>>932607
>purposefully damaging your cables.
No. there isn't anything that is universal. If you wanted to, you'd contact someone in the prototyping business and have them try to make you one for a ridiculous amount.
Otherwise, over-under coiling and >>932724
will do the job.

These fuckers beat me to it

You could just wire it directly into a phone jack.

Tip and ring from the phone. Find your jack.

It's the red and green or blue and white wires.

Protip: that phone uses pulse dialing so unless you get a converter, you won't be able to use it for any touch tone applications. So no calling customer service.

How can I go about making a <10 mW power supply with a HUGE adjustable voltage range?

Lulzworthy name, but whatever. I built their full-size monitor kit ages ago. Nothing to it, really.

bar clamps and non expanding wood glue, maybe quick disconnects for inside the cabinet?

maybe some tape to label which is TL/TR, ML/MR.

That's all I can think of when I assembled a kit

I built my pair in 2012, mids are fuckin amazing.

Anyway make sure you have clamps to glue the cabinet together so it goes together properly. The wiring and general building etc was fast and easy, the finish is what took me goddamn forever. If you're painting and care about finish START WITH A WOOD SEALER holy shit that would have saved me so much time and primer. I primered and sanded goddamn I can't remember how many times, used some Spackle for the tiny gaps at the cabinet seams too. Build took me a couple days, mostly waiting for glue to dry. Finishing took me a month.

Also I found they were... Weird using as computer speakers. Idk something sounded off, they sounded better at small room distance. I think one of the tweeters was slightly lower in efficiency than the other, it was visibly different, that may have been it. I didn't notice the difference from small room distance so I ended up putting them in my living room.

Also, before you glue them shut tune how much polyfill you want in there, just play around with different amounts until you like the sound. The back press-fits well enough for temporary listening.

One that supplies the same voltage and current that the fan requires to operate.

>>932338
5v wall wart. Any cell phone charger will do.
>>932339
Current of the power supply can be greater than the current of the fan. Power supply current rating tells you the maximum it can supply. The current it will supply to the fan is the current draw of the fan.

>>932338
5v regulated adapter rated above 80mA (so basically any 5v adapter). Red wire is positive, black wire negative, and white is the fan speed signal (tach).

fuse box diagram

>>930140
well when do you want them on?
if you want them on all the time then put in a new fuse in a spare carrier and connect them to that
if you want them on with the car wire them into ignition after a fuse
if you want them on with headlights then wire them into the headlights
if you want them on with interior lights then wire them into interior lights
if you want them on when you wash your windows wire them into your washer jets.

if you don't know what you're doing, it's not going to work

try your local seaport.

I do know what im doing dont worry about me i just want to know where to buy cheap sturdy materials

try mylar

heatshrink. dunno how well concrete will stick to that tho..

you can always mixup some epoxy to make a "bare" looking insulated drive just put it on a piece of milk carton and "pop"it out once dried

Turns out Dave lied about some of his military experience and Cody thought some of the scenarios and tips the producers wanted to highlight were stupid bordering on dangerous, so he quit.

>>>/out/
>>>/tv/

They never got along, and that escalated to the point where they would bitch and moan more than do actual show-worthy shit.

The hippie more than the beard.

There is a 'final' episode that looks back on why it all went to shit if you're curious to see how it went down.

Why are you abusing your friend like that? He clearly is not the least bit interested.

Your "friend" Braden clearly fucking hates you. Look at his one word replies. He doesn't fucking care in the least bit. You're just that asshole friend who has no one to talk to, so you keep talking to the friends who don't give a fuck and just tolerate you.

Not to mention you talk like a fedora wearing asshat.

Some tips for life: Don't act like simple shit like following a guide is some grand quest, don't constantly insert people's name into conversation thinking that makes you seem more intelligent, and finally when people give one word replies to your statements, they generally don't give a fuck.

>>932113
Wow. Congrats. You removed factory installed bloatware. Literally anyone could have rooted and flashed their phone to get that. gtfo

I dont think you are going to be able to make your own foam any better.

What kind of carving are you talking about

>>931869
sharp knife, but sense its just foam, i could probably be able to use an exacto knife more precisely.

quality wise... i'm not expecting it to be perfect, just wondering if there was an option that would piss me off.

>>931884
for an ultra ghetto version you could use spray can expanding foam, spray it into a frame of the shape you want and then carve it?

Not sure how toxic it would be to handle over a large period of time but it might work?

>>931397
K.I.S.S.

Can you use an electric linear actuator?
If so, do that.

>>931397
> Which is absolutely insane
Tends to be the way, they are high tolerance, precision made devices that need to take a hell of a beating, and because hydraulics tend to be messy, complex systems, not many people use them unless literally nothing else will do the job. Low demand = Smaller production runs = Premium pricing.

> I was thinking maybe mod some syringes with small tubes and an air compressor. So the hydraulics become pneumatics.

I've actually tried this, the rubber cap on the syringe plunger is a pretty tight fit to the tube, meaning you need a fuck load of pressure which tends to blow the lines off the nipple before the plunger actually moves. Hydraulic worked a little better but it was messy as fuck and the tight cap still made life difficult.

Whats your application?

Me ! I love amigurumis, i've a blog.

I've done a few of those.
What's your blog?

City and state codes are available on .gov websites. I dont' know what those websites are for your area but you can usually search for building code.

The reason hardware stores don't get involved with code or plan approval is because they don't like to be sued or be hit with city inspector fines which can be pretty steep.

If its an actual basement you're going to have plumbing problems if its not already setup for drainage. Water has a tough time going up thus why not many toilets are below ground.

Some localities demand all floorplans be approved before permits are pulled. If you're deadset on doing all the work yourself, find the building department contact number and call them. Talk to a permit desk worker and explain what you're trying to do, WHO YOU ARE and what will be necessary.

Also, you don't need no codes are permits if you never intend on selling the house. Even then, you can sell it "as is" not up to code and skirt inspections if the buyer gives no fucks.

Thanks. I might go by my municpal center today to get more info. If the bathroom is too much I'll see about leaving it out of the plans. That I believe will be the biggest headache and cost anyways.
