Alternatively, what can I replace this shit with? It doesn't have to fit perfectly or I could build a strap to hole a cable hanging out of it, but it needs 4 pins.

Any recommendations?

Looks like some custom abomination based on Mini DIN

The cheap ‘automotive connector’ kit from Amazon. Or 4 pin M12 connector which has roughly the same form factor

while this doesn't belong here, it's funnier than anything I've seen in /b/ for many years. link to one decent /b/ thread if you can.

people who say /b/ was never good are correct in that it always had some garbage, but in its heyday it was funny, provocative, interesting, and informative, along with the sewage. now it's just sewage.

>>2423517
That's because the non-sewage has long since been pulled into dedicated boards. On the flipside anon just wants to be spoonfed for entertainment without any clue how to stir the pot. E.g., editing 6th toes into rate me threads.

If you spent half the time painting as you do making these threads maybe youd get bdtter. You have to train your eye. PRACTICE FAGGOT.

your only concern isnt utilities bro

Sorry, "only concern" is bad wording. It's the first concern I can think of atm

the only good incandescent i have found is a "insect repellent" light bulb made by osr am

I gotta ask, why do you want incandescent specifically? You can. Get leds with the same color temp easily.

Temperature is not CRI

Just buy pioneer minisplits and install yourself. For the price it's high end disposable chinkshit.

What you percieve as overcharging is consistent practice in any industry that works with equipment or parts that have very long life spans.
How many complete HVAC systems does the average homeowner willingly purchase in a lifetime?
Most people would hope for "none" and even one is a major hit even just for the equipment. When they can't put it off any longer people want the best deal *and* hope to never have to see the HVAC guy again if they can help it.
Theres no incentive to give a great bargain deal in hopes of repeat customers 15 years from now, so they make their money while they can. There"s also only 24 hours in a day so they will charge what they charge whether you are a rich guy buying $30k worth of HVAC or have a tiny job...and if your tiny job will prevent them from getting the $30k one you will get the "we dont wantvthevjob" price or if you are already in line you will go on the back burner.
Thats just how it is , dont like it dont hire them, or roofers, or ever get a transmission or rear end rebuilt.

Put a little glue stick on there for easier release, and also let it cool before you try to remove anything. Or, print with ABS, and it will peel itself off automatically while you print.

>>2423417
>Isn't that what PVC/ABS glue is?
Pretty much! I glue all my multi piece prints together with it (pic rel, 6 parts). Was hoping to treat it like soft epoxy
>>2423419
Full disclosure, i want to make a full car bumper. (Retard i know)
One of the big issues with aftermarket fibreglass ones is they are so weak to impact, hence me trying to go ABS like the original ones. Forged carbon is probably a touch impractical for the size.
I got a legit injection molded quote, minimum is 100 parts at $1700 each.

I also made this grille which might be suitable for carbon though, i might try it out, looks fun and a good way to improve quality and manufacturability

oh okay, I wasn't sure how long to let it cool. I think I waited like 3 or 4 minutes but I guess I'll try giving it a lot longer.

heh, I plan on trying to do this later on so I'll look forward to it

Don't use hydrochloric if you find it. Makes (sort of) mustard gas.

most likely these are silk screen printed. should use the same type of ink as most screen printers do. just google how to remove silk screen paint. im sure theres some magical solution to your problem cause god forbid you had to do some actual fuckin research before asking here.

>>2423506
Unlikely. This is probably made from multi layer material. There are some that are made by vaporizing aluminium onto a carrier layer.
If that is the case its relatively hard to remove, since you have to remove multiple layers with different properties.

>>2423565
>There are some that are made by vaporizing aluminium onto a carrier layer
Seriously? Similar to the vapor deposition used for first surface mirrors?

>>2423557
>What you are doing is making the stability of the projector dependent on the table
Yeah, that's the big issue here. Would a 3 meter a-frame made out of dowel or PVC be enough to hold it? Because if it is, I'll just mount it on the floor, I haven´t done anything similar (out of those materials), so I'm not sure about it.

>I have a hard time believing this, but I'm assuming you have tested it.
I haven't tested it on an expensive profesional tripod (which is kinda out of reach for this project), but I've tested it on common camera tripods and projector screen mounts. Anything over 2 meters needs a huge tripod and a sturdy metal pipe as the main column (sorry, I don't know the english term for the vertical rod of it lmao). That would need too much space and would leave the projector far from the table.

>How large does your project area need to be, and what is the necessary height of the projector?
I really don't have a defined project area, but about 1 meter, which means having the projector at a 2 meters height.

Maybe a jib crane made out of wood solves this? But again, a 3 meter high wooden structure wouldn't be very movable.

Sorry if I'm being annoying with all these things I keep bringing up, I'm hoping for an ideal situation that might not be possible but I'll go lowering my expectations as I get arguments about why they don't work.

Again, I haven't seen any mounts that accommodate my idea, so it's completely valid to tell me that I'm just being dumb and it's not possible. I'd just like to know why so I can learn in the process.

Are you already married to a particular projector? consider a short throw projector model that is just sitting on an shelf next to the table. Incline it downwards with a little ramp, and it will have some fine tuning menu to correct the picture to very near a rectangle.

>>2423575

Why use dowels or PVC? Can't you just get 2"x12' studs in your country? you're making the same structure as a gantry or sawhorse just bigger.
theyre strong enough for carpenters and machinists to trust them to hold literal tons of weight. Don't use stupid 3d printed joints, you dont need them. Use bolts, nails and screws and glue.

>>2423586
>you're making the same structure as a gantry or sawhorse just bigger
Except that to make the exact same structure I'd need it to be a lot bigger, because of the height (it would need additional support to be sturdy). I agree on the bolts and nails part, the 3D printed joints thing would've been just a complementary support for them.

>Can't you just get 2"x12' studs in your country?
I could, but it would be way too expensive to just do it as a test (also I'm assuming it'd be mounted from the floor which also makes it hard to transport). I'd need to plan a structure that ensures a good support.

>>2423582
>Are you already married to a particular projector?
Basically yeah. I already have a projector and it isn't worth it getting another one. Also the mount you're proposing would be great if it were going to be on an empty table, but since it's meant to be for projection mapping the angle shouldn't create shadows from objects placed on the table.

>>2423555
You really need a table?
You cant project it into the floor?

I'm doing an apprenticeship in instrumentation and have a pretty handy job in a pharma factory doing maintenance, we spend about 75% of the shift getting paid to drink tea. Clean rooms are a pain in the ass to work in but it's clean at least.
I have learned a lot about electrical/electronics and plumbing and it's all very useful and interesting stuff to know, you learn a lot about physics and automation too so it's very broad and a good base to go forward and do lots of different jobs or get a college degree in a wide range of stuff.
I got inspired to do it from browsing /DIY and went from knowing nothing to being able to fix appliances around the house and in the future I will be looking at making my house self sustainable for generating electricity and want to look into creating an autonomous hydrophonic farm too, I have the knowledge to get started but no time as yet.
Thank you /DIY and all the geniuses who have been posting their wacky ideas down through the years.

>>2423362
So don't fuck up and unless you actually ARE an aircraft mech or tech shut your hole.

Best gigs are in the Air Force to get that beautiful early retirement which I'm currently enjoying muchly. Vested retirements with inflation/recession-proof packages are everything so if ya don't do military find a government job state or local. Nobody regrets government retirements.

>>2423590
Also a good gig since pharma is forever. Mechatronics courses are good prep and our students were often hired at the local Becton-Dickenson.

>>2423334
Don't know about "best" but finish carpentry has some nice benefits as far as being able apply and adapt your skills to a number of job situations whether you do that out of necessity or just to avoid being in a rut.
The attention to detail it requires also makes you a good candidate to oversee other people whether it's on a jobsite or in a production shop setting, or doing things like warranty inspections of things like doors and window installations.
It's reasonably clean work, if you're good at it people give you time to work, it will never go out of style or be replaced by robots and unlike something like plumbing if work is slow or you want a side hustle you can make things on spec and sell them.
A lot of the skills and equipment also translate to other materials pretty readily so you can also adapt to things like plastic sheet fabrication...you can also process scrap and raw materials into usable moldings and lumber and other stuff that you can use and pocket the savings or sell to/make for others.

That's from a sinking or shifting foundation. You would have to have it ramjacked back up

>>2423305
make some measurements - write in on the well - check back in a year or two and extrapolate to decide if you give a shit. could have been like that forever

>>2423305
the correct repair should it deteriote more is a pony wall and jacks, given the failing wall is holding up your floor. monitor your gutters/water management in that area. watch when it rains, ensure drip edge works. mind the basement on rainy days ensure no water comes from the wall. if you have a sump, keep it working.
in these parts the substrate is like a sponge, it swells when water hits it enough and itll shatter rocks and poured basements if the water isnt managed correctly. to put it mildly, i just finished a pony wall here, because the guys neighbor refused to fix their gutters. took a week after the pour and now u hear jackhammers nextdoor. once he pours the weakest wall will go next if the water isnt redirected.
>>2423331 is also correct but incomplete without witnessing the water management. that shit happens either due to age shifting or the substrate grows and shrinks. that shit looks mostly cosmetic but youre not showing alot.


t. all hell for a basement

Sawzall should work, the trick is to lube the blade with beeswax or WD40, a wooden chock and a mallet to pull the sides apart helps too

Generally when faced with linoleum, the answers that most flooring people have given is if it's still tight to the subfloor, don't bother taking it up and just build the new floor right on top of it, as it's just not worth the time ripping it off.

Are you going to be stapling mesh + scratch coat? then you are fine. If you are doing drypack, ditra or wtv I'd say pull it up. If it was my house I'd pull it up cus it would bother me forever, what would it take, a day or two?

Better research heavily, If still young enough join the Air Force and fix things that fly for the vested retirement and inflation/recession proof paycheck plus fun. Retirement is everything and early is best.

Trades which don't involve electricity and math and preferably some programming fail to filter morons. Mechatronics is worth a look as industrial controls will always need installation, repair, maintenance and modification and not being production work you won't be replaced by robots.

Machinist pay is low because it's fun and machine shops are in a collective race to the bottom making them a very high mortality business. Check the "hot dog cart" jokes on Practical Machinist forums for why. Machining is a great skill to have but many become millwrights to make more money.

Money and retirement packages are everything. Your working life will end soon so be ready.

>>2423588
Thanks, I will try to join the Airforce and hope I get assigned to the base down the road from where I live.
