Is the part under any load? Is the part going to see any physical wear? Is the part supposed to wear instead of wearing on whatever it's holding? Will it be exposed to corrosive elements?

Give us some details here.

Also, it doesn't seem like this part is going to be printed. SLS is somewhat expensive versus just having a solid piece milled. If you're going to go that route why not mill it out of 304 SS or something similar?

It will be under load when shifting. Most of the load will be down along the z axis. The direction is in green.

No physical wear is to be expected since it isn't supposed to move. It is merely a mounting point to attach a moving piece to the bike frame. The piece is circled in blue.

No corrosive elements are expected.

Someone said that having the piece milled would cost a lot and I would probably be better off having it printed.

the strongest material you can print is nylon.
nylon will take any abuse.

but if you don't want to print nylon (because it's nasty stuff) just use abs.

Same thing happened to me. Fuck fake ass furniture.

>not sure if it is a legit technique or a scam tactic
It's both. It's a legit technique that's been used to cut costs for many decades and (usually) not an attempt to deceive, but at the same time it's generally not information volunteered by the seller either.

What about something like this.

'Cork hot coaster'

>>1209308
IIRC Cork is a naturally occurring material, most cork, like your pic related, is just the natural form, lots of modern wine company's use the cork that feels a bit more plastic, I think this is the stuff you are referencing. Sorry, I don't have any info on your actual question

>>1209876
Real cork is made from the bark of cork oaks and holds together naturally. Its cut into shapes. You can glue it together without problems as well. There are probably a lot of cheaper imitations.

And the marked points gave not the described Voltage out.

>>1209223
Well, if there's nothing visibly broken... You check whether the fault is before or after that point. For example, if removing all the loads does not help, it's before the point. You continue this way roughly splitting the problem in half in every iteration, until you find the faulty point. Or, if you're feeling lucky, you make educated guesses and test them.

>>1209221

You probably already did this, but I recently "fixed" a 30 year old scope that would not scan horizontally by pulling all the connectors, spraying with contact cleaner, and putting them back on.

And unfortunately one of the best tools besides your multimeter would be a working scope.

Go to kitset garage website, find list of parts and blueprint. Do the foundation yourself if youre crazy enough and can afford a fuckup.

>>1208579
the term kitset is only relevant down under so no help there. this also doesn't tell me anything about what the cheaper way to build is?

>>1208800
Well I'd see what materials you can get for free locally.. For example if you can get those big tall utility poles for cheap or free. Those would be great to use.

If you got a sawmill near by. Timber frame the shit outta it.

They've had robots to clean the things for like 200 years now.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_pool_cleaner

>>1208476
But do you really need robots? I mean pools have all those drains and openings at water level... Why would it have those things if they don't clean the pool

The bottom water usually isn't turbulent enough to get rocks and other small refuse up to the weir. The circulator cleans the water of microscopic things and surface scum, but doesn't reach far enough down to scrub dirt off the underwater surfaces. Just leave Pic related run during the week and the problem is mostly solved. You'll want to skim leaves during the fall, and occasionally you'll have need to brush parts of the bottom or pull errant animals out. You might want to cover it when not in use, and very rarely you might need to change the water.
To further answer your OP, your local pool supply shop carries test kits and other treatments you will need to keep it safe and pleasant. It's easy to do, like fill test vial 1 with water to line, add 5 drops of reagent A, 15 drops of reagent C, and compare colors to read out pH or chlorine percentage or whatever. Knowing this, if needed, you add treatment to correct according to the capacity of the pool. I'm sure wikiHow's got a book on it.

>Thinking about getting curtains for the windows but don't know what kind I should get.
Anything that's both thick and white. White will reflect the sunlight (and heat), and the thicker it is the less sunlight will "bleed" through.

Yeah, you want professional grade curtains. I got some made for my townhouse by Lincraft (not sure if they do them anymore - this was over a decade ago).

Anyway, you need the curtains that have "blackout lining". This is a thick coated material that is stitched against the thin curtain fabric.

I'm also thinking that if you have access to the roof space you could shove a heap of pink batts in there?

its not that hard.

Burn the sole of a shoe. Works in prison.

Ask the tattoo parlor to put a shot of white in regular black ink

>>1207232
pitch black?
easy way would be scrape some tar off a road i guess

bait

Simple, just don't have them.

>>1206954
Easy. Put them in a Faraday cage. Oh, you want to be able to make calls and connect to wifi and shit? Sorry, that is now how shit works. If you connect to an access point then, at the very least, people will know you are in range of that access point.

>>1196573
Sorry bud...RC part supply store closed a few months back...
People didn't know we were accessable on the interwebs...

Those look like 'T-style' props, so just search around for 'T-style adapter' or something similar. They generally come with the motors though.

>>1196579

You realized you paid about as much for that, plus a couple dollars more, you could have gotten a new one?

>>1212106
The loctite was $5. The bong was $40

then it is just smells

>Just a non-electronic thing with switches and logic gates and stuff

Does this mean no electricity or just no integrated circuits?

Either way you will be lucky to build something that can add 23 to 47, much less find a square root.

stop being a fag and google it.

even tho there's no bibliography, there's enough links to keep you occupied for months.

>>1211688
maybe you'll never get the product

>>1211690
Have you ever heard of that happening?

I wouldn't put it past the chinese to sell junk screens, but not sending anything?

You should be fine, some people make amazon bot accounts advertising shit at low prices, then jetting once they give you a fake tracking #. The guy selling what you linked has decent reviews, so you'll probably just get a shitty chink
screen.

Tired of TV and thought a painting would be cool to have instead of a TV. Where would be a place to get a pretty large size painting?

>>1211589
ebay
antique store
flea market
estate/garage/yard/rummage sale

you could probably commission a painting of whatever from an art student for not too much

>>1211595

Hm, that would be cool to have an art piece commissioned from an art student. Will look into that thanks
