Which is? Like what kind of material are dildo's
made from?

You know I have no idea, because I'm not very much into dildo industry, but I've heard it's never too late.

i dabble in Custom figures, and find a use for each. the first and 6th make good scalpels if you need smooth cuts.2, 3 and 5 are good for cleaving on straight guillotine style cuts. the standard acute triangle blade is good for angular cuts. never found a good use for the last 2 though. 9 is just an inverse 1 and 6, so i guess long straight flat cuts. 10 is for precision cuts, but its like using a scalpel to skin a buck. you could do it, but muliple tools in the kit will do a much more effective job. its the manlet of Xacto

I have a set of these that i use for building/prepping my wh40k models. The thin handle one with a normal blade is good for most things. curved blade for more robust cuts. for thick material they you have to chop at or cut hard i like the red handle with a the flat bade, 3rd from the left. other than that, there isnt much differentiation in the blades. maybe for different clearances, but like i said, it mostly comes down to material hardness and detail.

>>1595631
I had that set once upon a time, except the fat handle was pure aluminum without the plastic. They are perfectly useful and the various blades are quite useful for many carving tasks, but they are just easy money and exploiting people fear of sharpening. Buy the kit, it you use it regularly, get proper carving chisels and learn to sharpen them, you will save money in the long run and have a wider selection of blades to choose from.

>>1595631
they're all useful, and they're all gimmicks

>>1595601
Poly would be better, especially if your putting a coffee mug or a cold drink. Tung oil won't offer the ease of mind that poly would and poly will still show the wood off without it looking like plastic (like a laq would)

>>1595608
Sounds reasonable. I've heard of putting oil down to make the wood shine, and covering it with an oil-based polyurethane, ever come across that?

It is called not necessary thing, just twist wire around bolt and use washer.

Pattern making for clothing has some little idiosyncrasies that you need to learn for well fitting articles.

Go into the fabric stores and browse the catalogue. Find something similar in general fit and function as what you want to make.

Don't cut up the pattern you bought. Trace that onto vellum or newspaper, or something else and cut that out. That way you can re-use the pattern over and over for multiple sizes if you make something for someone else.

Pay attention to where the darts are, and where things are taken in. Getting familiar with these will make creating your own patterns easier.

try artcam

>>1595413

Surely just make half a 3d shape?

360 is fine, learn to use the shaping tools, spline and sketch to the fullest.

>>1595609
I should have known to look closer at the notes.
Thanks!
Note 25, the Phosphor Handbook, seems to have all the info I need.
At a quick glance, it looks like I need about 0.01% to 0.005% copper by weight for P31.
That seems to agree with the vague statement of "A few PPM" on wikipedia.

Next stop: Finding ZnS, Copper, and Silver powder at a price lower than just buying P31 from Sigma-Aldrich.
The ZnS is cheap enough, but the silver powder looks like it's a bit pricey.

Awesome.
If you start making (more?) progress it's a thread I'd pin.
All forms of luminescence are absolutely fascinating to me...
Of all the things to ponder, on another thread (in /trash/) a few anons and I are trying to figure out why someone's glow-in-the-dark 'silicone sculpture' starts glowing when it's stretched.
Triboluminescence or similar probably, but there's almost no info on that.
>silver powder
There must be some way to precipitate silver...

Its forge, not weld. Plebeian beppo

>>1595522

you really dont want to use hardfacing, it will just crack and split. not to mention a good anvil isnt necessarily hard, they have noticable recoil. 7018 or 8018 works though. dont preheat and try not to let it cool slow. weld it cold and as fast as you can, within reason. 1/8 @ 100 amp and go from there

If it only has to be round at the fan, find some sort of steel ring that will fit inside the tube. Even better, integrate that ring into the fan mount.

i get pretty good results with a hammer and a vice. Weld the seam and then keep beating it.

>>1595285
just keep working it with your hands and it will be close. That flat spot where the bolts are and you have double-thickness is going to give you trouble, you probably have to take it apart and get both sides started with pliers or a vise or some boards clamped like a brake, but you run into the same issue with rolling like >>1595299. The workpiece leaves the roll in the last half inch or so and you end up with a little straight piece. If it needs to be perfect, roll it with extra on both ends and cut off the excess, then butt weld and grind off the excess, it's how ERW tubing is made.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=llhcATrmsBg

Get rid of the bolts. Cut the thing in half lengthwise, then flatten it and weld the sides together. After that attach a hose fitting and pump high pressure water to inflate the tube. Cut off the ends and clean up when done.

This unironically is one of my more favorite 'safety' devices.
It starts to howl low when the battery dies unlike the other cheap brand I tried that gave no warning that the batteries were exhausted.
I keep one under each sink, and one near the hot water heater.
Sure enough the kitchen one went off when the dishwasher's waste hose started to leak.
>>1595558
This one also works well if you want to make you own as an experiment.

>>1595276
Non-contact capacitive sensors work well for detecting water. For example, mounting some electrodes (copper tape) on the outside of a plant pot will readily detect the water content inside

What temp are you printing at?
Consider getting a 5015 blower fan (coupled with 200uF capacitor) and printing the petsfang for it. The blower will dramatically increase the quality of your overhangs.
Calibrate your extruder, the stock extruder on my cr10 was over extruding from the factory.

I hate it when things come in my eye.

OP here:
I do have a pair of those goofy over-the-glasses ones that I break out when I'm using an angle grinder and stuff like that but they don't stay on good if I'm not standing still and upright. I can get my job to partially pay a pair but I'm not sure where to order from. Where do you guys who have em get yours?

They might be a little pricy, but they are 100% worth it. I love not having to squint or worry about catching hot chips in my eyes.

I'm about to get eyeglasses. Do they make impact resistant lenses that also do the transition shade thing and are antifog

Can anyone recommend a website that sells prescription safety glasses

It's called a regulator. That broom at the front and the plows are for moving the ballast.

I guess yours is just for snow. We don't use anything like that in the US.

Heavy snow in the west is cleared with a rotary snow plow.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuX4G3znpDE

Lighter snows are cleared with a wedge plow. Picture related.

They are also used out east for 'heavy snow'. IE 'lil bitch' snow. If you can see the top of a semi truck above the snow but you still think its a lot of snow, its 'lil bitch' snow. When you can't even see the tops of the trailers anymore, then it's really snowing.
