>>2555794so, there is a reason they use a square drive on your ratchet and breaker bar (where you attach the socket) as well as the robertson screw. it's torque.if you don't need the 6 positions of angular freedom that hex nuts and bolts give you (like a screw) square maximizes torque.> triangle drive?the screw tip doesn't have enough meat, and would break tips off in an industrial/heavy use. i think there is some lightweight electronic products that use them (think companies named after fruit) but thats to annoy ppl.
Been seeing a handful of people talk about making new youtube channels.Lots of people with talent and knowledge on this board, lots of shitty quality youtube channels succeeding.Maybe in this new year we should throw down some film, upload and see what happens.Do you have a youtube channel?Are you planning on making one?Lets do this.
>>2546079No. Fuck Google. Fuck most people, too. People are assholes and treat me like shit, even here. I'm taking my knowledge to the grave. Let them see my works and try to figure it out themselves.

The /fa/gs don't know what they're talking about at all, so I'll post it here. I just dropped $12k on the BN-20 and two ricoma heat presses and I'm converting my garage. I was going to buy the assets from a local print shop in town for $40k but the boomer owner betrayed me and went with another offer, but it is no matter.My current business is a sticker business and I'm ready to expand and to use my designs on something more than just stickers. I've got local tshirt and hat orders lined up with businesses already, some recurring and some not, and I'm going to use the funds to pay myself back and to build my own brand. I quit my comfy $90k a year desk job to pursue this full time. The BN-20 also makes and cuts high quality stickers.Anybody here ever do something similar and if so, how was your experience? I thankfully live in a booming portion of Florida that will always have new businesses to supply. One of my target demographics is going after food truck companies that haven't branded themselves yet since food trucks are a big thing here and always rotating.
Openknit was a really cool project. Too bad it's basically dead. Would be nice if some anons picked it up again
Find your niche and roll with it. The BN20 is a very capable machine just don't neglect it. Print daily or you'll be replacing the head eventually. $3K+ if you have a tech do it. Only use OEM captops - replace them every 6 months. Use OEM wipers, felt, etc. Keep it clean. Be careful loading media - if you end up lifting and bending a media clamp (the metal things that ride over the media) replace it. don't try to bend it back. Not worth the risk of a head strike.You can run odd sized media in it by removing the locking screw on the right side roll guide. As long as the pinch rollers are on a knurled section of the rollers the BN will detect it and print on it. You will have to tape over the optical media sensors (front and rear) if you do that though. Be VERY careful you do not run a roll to empty and jam the machine. It won't detect the media has lifted and you can damage things.Order 60" rolls of vinyl and use a chop saw to cut them at 20" or just order them cut if you find a vendor that does that. Stahls is good for ordering most maintenance parts and OEM inks. Their cadcolor heat transfer material is very nice (the soft stretchy opaque one).The only aftermarket ink I would consider at any point would be from premiercolour if you end up pushing enough volume that ink cost is a concern AND the machine has paid for itself already. Then you won't feel bad if something goes wrong because of 3rd party inks. If you're not printing 5+ hrs a day continuously there's no reason to get bulk ink or aftermarket.Learn your own maintenance and repairs on the BN. Heads can be DIY replaced but you will need a tech to remote in to set the head rank. Heads can be had for around 2k.

>>2554388you are making good points. you don't need to wrestle me into submission. The stock exchange matters. so do corporate profits. The U.S. doesn't get tax revenue if the corporation is based outside the U.S. but yeah, everything is kiked and fucked up, and nationalism is indded somewhat passé

Hello, a rafter in my roof cracked, so I'm using this fucking carjack to support my ceiling while I tie and weld metal bands around the cracked rafter to stich it together. Anyone have any advice on how to do this better? The roofer wanted 20k so that's not an option

I just had my first class in a 3 month long pottery course, the teacher said he'd teach us if we want but otherwise we can make whatever we want. So far I've made a coil vase, looking for other cool/functional ideas for what to make next. The kiln is 23h x 21w. Some ideas I've had so far:- grotesque jug/planter- water seal fermenting jar- small yakitori grill or another type of grill- pointed bottom amphora- or, use every class to learn how to wheel throw since apparently it is very difficult
>>2551996firedogs are fun.Practice throwing in class, hand build stuff at home so you have something to fire EVERY time they fire it. I took a class with a larger kiln, and a guy made a life sized statue of his grand daughter. It was in 2 parts. The top half was down to the waist and the bottom 1/2 was sitting. He designed it to sit on a wall in his back yard garden. He left it terracotta. I focused on Minoan and and Mycenaean stuff.

If you have extra time, Rothenberger and Virax both make pope expanders and T-Extractors that eliminate the need for many fittings. The T-extractors require brazing rather than soldering, but the expanders don’t. The amount of time required makes the system too costly for a regular plumber in most cases, but the systems are supposedly used in some schools since it eliminates the extra cost of fittings. An expanded joint, and T-extracted joint also use less solder or brazing rod, since there is only one “side” that needs to be soldered when joining pipe inline with the expander, and only one joint that needs to be brazed with the T-extractor. For soldering, there is a special soldering iron for plumbing fittings called the Antex Pipemaster Pro, which helps lower the fire risk from torches. Most plumbing solder nowadays os completely lead free. For mire reliable soldering, use a power pope cleaning brush connected to a drill, and a tinning flux.

Assuming this worked, how do I make this? I assume its a air conditioning.. I seecopper pipes, presumably circulating water via pipe, why i dont knowan ice box... a fan... this has to be an air conditioner right? so how does it work, how would you make one? shouldnt there be a pump
>>2554284>single hose unityou know those actually suck the air from inside to cool the condenser coils and blow the hot air outside. you are basically cooling the air to just have it blown outside to keep the condenser cool so it doesnt overjheatalways get the 2 hose model that pulls outside air to cool the condenser and blows it right back outside so the evaporator can actually cool the room without the rooms air being used to cool the condenser.
>>2548957>It’s not summer yet,It's always summer on /diy/
>>2549125That graphic clearly shows that the temperature has already been regulated to a steady state at the inside of the insulation, so it wouldn't matter whether the structure was masonry, steel, or wood, it would remain the same temperature regardless
>>2554637I see what you did there.
I had to use one of these when I lived in an apartment that didn't allow window AC. It's absolutely better than a fan and cheaper than a portable AC, if nothing else.
After some advice. Constructed from foamboard, mounted around the window opening, with about 5cm of overlap all around, mounted with heavy duty velcro. 4 inch duct tubing and the box would be stuffed with foam or insulation material, to aid sound dampening. Window opening is 52cmx26cm.Would one single fan be sufficient for ventilation? I know it's a "how long is a piece of string question. Basically two options;(1) 2x180mm PWM fans controlled by a n externally powered Noctua fan controller, possibly with an inline 140mm fan inside the box. Use 6" to 4" duct reducers inside the box. Theoretical advantage of more fans is that blades are another impediment ot sound transmission from outside (noisy traffic, kids etc).(2) Single cheap mains-powered 120mm fan on the side of the box facing inward to the room. This is sufficient as air from outside only has to travel approximately 110cm.The aim is not to kill sound completely, but to have an appreciable improvement over simply leaving the window ajar.
>>2555495I think the fans and tube sounds would be louder than just having the window open.Unless the outdoor sounds are very loud ... but this box isn't really going to help reduce those, so it'd just be more noise on top of the sounds from outside.
>>2555536>I think the fans and tube sounds would be louder than just having the window open.>Unless the outdoor sounds are very loud ... but this box isn't really going to help reduce those, so it'd just be more noise on top of the sounds from outside.Good point, but next door is a mentally handicapped kid and by the time April rolls by, he will be in the backyard constantly. He cannot help it, but he screeches incessantly.The idea is, I would operate the fans at the lowest speed. This room faces the sun from 12noon afterwards and heats up. Even opening the window a little helps out a lot with temperature.I already use earplugs when sleeping if I am working nights, but I want a solution to have the ventilation equivalent to leaving the window open a bit, but with "50%" or so noise intrusion.
If I were doing this, which I wouldn't, I'd build a sealed box with a hole at each end. The intake hole being on the bottom side so rain doesn't get inside. Then put a baffle in the center of the box with a bathroom fan mounted in it, which are designed for use in humid locations unlike computer fans. Then add like 6-12 inches of fiberglass batt insulation after the fan, enough to cut down on sound but not so much that it's too much for the fan to push air through. Add & remove insulation thickness to balance noise & airflow. And if you want it to be really quiet, use a panasonic bath fan rather than the cheap nutone shit.

Nevertheless I have made my own before, I just used some bottom shelf sour mash shit, I don't remember exactly, with instant coffee, heavy cream, sugar, and cocoa powder. No nutmeg or vanilla, though. Even if the price I can get a regular bottle isn't too bad it's still fun to make stuff so I will probably try it out anyway.
