Get rid of the girlfriend so you can focus on your hobbies.

I would not spend any money or time on an mdf desk. Mdf furniture, like your girlfriend, is something you settle on.

>>1199888
its MDF, painting that POS be more stress than even your GF in top form could produce (probably..) - get rid of. The desk that is, GF maybe a keeper, need better pics.

Your system is low on refrigerant.

You can't fix it yourself, it's against the law.

If you could fix it yourself, you wouldn't ask here.

Don't bump this.

kek

>>1198498
Ok, you can't buy the refrigerant needed without a license which you don't have and can't get. Also, that's a pretty good law as laws go because you have no idea what to even ask here, so.....

Are you sure it's only in your bedroom?

Is your bedroom connected exclusively to one of the 3 phases delivered to your house, assuming three-phase power?

>>1197257
Sorry a word was cut out of my first post.
It's not only my room its also affected the computer room has also been affected, its right besides my room.

I don't know the first thing about electricty, I have no idea whether or not my house is three phase power.
How would I check if my room is connected exclusively to one of the 3 phases delivered to my house?

If they are on the same breaker, you could be over loading it. Especially when yoir graphics card kicks in with the fans.

A tungsten sword would shatter before it cut through any hardened or even mild steel.

This is sad.

>>1194988
its just the tip that is made of tungsten. I know that elongated shafts of tungsten are brittle so i designed around it. But the Mohs scale rates them on equal footing. Can you please elaborate?

in the old days you'd use 2 identical cameras and wire the shutter buttons together, or you'd use one camera and a slider to take a second shot from a few inches away. today you just buy a 3D camera.

1 lens bad, 2 lenses good.

you should be asking /p/ for this but as a resident from there, i can tell you the most you'd get is "3d gimmic gtfo"

Stereography is as simple as taking a photograph and introducing parallax in the second.
That's the technical term for when things move at different rates in a picture depending on the distance to the camera.

You have several ways to do this:
1. Have one camera, move the camera for a second shot.
2. Have one camera, split the image in two with mirrors.
3. Have two cameras, have them take images simultaneously.

The advantage of the first is that it's extremely cheap.
You don't actually require anything except photoshop for this.
Take a picture, hand hold the camera a few inches away but facing the same direction and take a second picture.
Then auto-align the two in photoshop and put them side to side and voila.
The second one, is as cheap as buying 2 or 4 mirrors but is harder simply on the basis that you'll need to actually make some sort of rig - miniature or not.
You're basically making one or two periscopes and assuring the camera sees into both at the same time.
Then it's as simple as realigning the images correctly.

And the 3rd on is simply using two cameras instead of splitting the image.
This is is generally used for acutal production cameras as it introduces almost no problems.
I was going to sketch the mirror thing but apparently someone already even made smartphone adapters using that technique.
Just watch this and google "3d camera mirrors" and you'll get all the info you need.

Alright, I need alternatives for Shapeways that print gold. They just changed their pricing structure for cast metals, and now the "minimum price" completely screws up everything. Now, for a lot of my models, I have to pay a $15-25 extra fee for "minimum pricing", and the price for some of my other models has fallen maybe 15 cents. I really feel the community got shafted here, but whatever.

tl;dr who 3D prints gold OTHER THAN Shapeways and i.materialise and ships to the US/internationally?

Light autist leading the future. 3D printed signs soon.

Who gives a shit what your name is faggot?

>I won't be creating my own parts
You will eventually at least rig some random connectors up or drill holes in things, I can assure you
>I havn't choosen a certain brand to stick to
Don't bother, frakencycles are a common biker hobby creation
>color sceen is as follows red brown black or a darker themed // or I want a playfull theme
You will be painting parts. Painting motorcycles is fairly easy. Don't need to spend too much money on this part either, rattlecans can get the job done nicely if you use a good base and clear and prep the parts.

I assume you have motorcycle experience and the accompanying repair experience, and know some shit about engines and all? Try to find a motorcycle boneyard/junkyard where you can shoot the shit with old timer bikers and grab random parts to cobble together. Hell, most boneyard owners churn out really nice frakencycles and custom work in their free time because they've got thousands of old motorcycles to salvage from and they enjoy it. They will give you advice if you're not a faggot. Unless you're planning on spending indordinate fucktons of money, you're going to want salvage parts for basically all of it, so the boneyard and Craigslist postings are where you're gonna find a frame you can work with. You may want to start picking up random broken cheap bikes for parts; you can make a lot of different engines work in different frames if you're crafty (and as mentioned, rig up connectors/mounts somehow).

I've seen a lot of frakenbikes, both the ones with a coherent aesthetic and the ones that keep the "every part is from a different bike" look. The unifying factor is general mechanic/gearhead ability, creativity in attaching shit, and a lot of effort in finding parts.

Go to real motorcycle forums. This is not one of those. /diy/ is and will remain utterly shitty for that purpose. If you are interested in custom building a retro style motorcycle, go learn about them there. Not here. You'll thank me later.

Using tiny Jap bikes to badly fail to mimic real vintage motorcycles nearly always comes out looking like ass. OTOH you could pull off a decent job with a vertical single like a Suzuki Savage, or a vertical twin like the excellent Yamaha 650.

Go to Chop Cult and Jockey Journal for starters and get a genuine idea of how to get classic lines.

The classic British vertical single still in production is the Royal Enfield. It's factory moved to India many years ago and it's successful because the design is easily maintainable.

Your picture is a Harley Sportster, with a solid mount Evolution engine. They are excellent motorcycles and easy to find in good shape for modest prices. No other motorcycle aftermarket parts support comes remotely close to that for Harleys and they are a solid machine for daily riding.

The xlforum is the canonical Sportster forum.

Now leave this shithole and go learn about how to do a GOOD job building a custom motorcycle. There are many larger Jap machines which are cheap, reliable, more powerful than the sad tiny shitbikes used to make aborted customs, and if you choose one of those you can end up with something worth riding.

Do not reply ITT. Go where I mention above. Those forums are noob friendly.

If you want to plate your machine to ride it on the street, GET A BIKE WITH A CLEAR TITLE then IMMEDIATELY transfer the title to get it in the system under your name, and when you do, get yourself a printed copy of that title ON THE SPOT. Stash with your important documents.

You'll thank me later. If you study thoroughly you can get a result you'll be proud of.

>>1201870
Boneyard parts are often overpriced, but Ebay is fucking beautiful because you have so much more to work with.

Unless they are free, grabbing random bikes for parts is inefficient.

Engine transplants etc are usually a terrible idea and the results look like it.

Smart method is find a machine you don't have to do drastic surgery on to get what you want.

Building small motorcycles takes as much effort as doing larger displacement machines.

Jap forum on Chop Cult:
http://www.chopcult.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=9&s=26f00f1867e142365fd014d418533d6c

Once you've found a machine with a clear title (fucking ignore anything that doesn't have one, and KNOW your state DMV rules by READING them) you have something to start with.

Buy a runner or one that passes a compression test. Compression testers are cheap and every mechanic needs one. You'll learn how to clean carbs and fuel systems. See forums for info.

Everything you want to do, someone else has already done. Information is power. Don't randomly do shit while learning. Copy success.

Get a service manual for whatever bike you choose and study that motherfucker.

You can really streamline your process by learning from others and the internet is outstanding for that.

Would a bitumen paint work ?loke roofing paint ?

Or what about EPDM with the membrane.I ask because I can get this for free

scissors
or
buy a new shirt

trying chemicals will more than likely ruin the shirt.

Acetone maybe but high chance it may ruin the color. Try it on a shirt that you don't care about.

Cut a hole in the shirt around the stain. Replace with fabric of similar texture and color

Time investment

Surplus raw stock
Unused crap all over
Cost and materials for a forge
Collosal amount of build and setup time
Tonnes of scrap

>what's the downside of forging your own tools?

You don't want to stop making your own tools. You just keep making more and more. You start seeing tool parts in just about everything.
