/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Keep this one, sell the other one.

I'm trying to build a projector screen.

So far I've got the attached pic in my head.

As is, takedown/setup would involve grabbing some PVC and running twine through it. I go on amazon and see some projector screens you can just pull down or retract up. how does that work? Can I implement that in the given schematic?

Either pirate a copy
Or do it by hand.

Maybe rollers attached to the motor.

>>1755342
Same thought when I read OP.

>>1762649
Instead of lasers, maybe capacitive or inductive sensors.

>>1758871
The least expensive is a rheostat.

>>1762678
Maybe a metal detection circuit connected to an arduino?
What is the solenoid activating?
A little more detail would help.

Where is the stripper pole?

Probably my mom's idea. Its horrible to get around up there too. I ended up removing the gable vent rather than crawl around the central air stuff in the middle to get to the other side.

Pulled out all the soggy insulation and I'm not replacing it.

I think I've got water running back into the house from near the bottom of this valley in the roof.

Well boys, it looks like a leak.

What can I put between the gas bottle and the elbow in order to have a valve between the two. I don't know what thread or fittings to use.

The argon gas bottle doesn't seem to have any indications as to what connection to put on it.

inb4 someone says just put a valve in

DIdnt want to share this with my IRL friends so, enjoy robots

>Buildplate setup is really outdated
It just werks (TM)
>They're trying to move to DRM on their filament spools and warranty service might deny any claims you have or be invalidated by using spools without their DRM.
They've already tried this, and abandoned the idea because of the backlash.
>The 3 is just a slightly fancier 2
With dual extrusion, which is the entire point.
>Doesn't really have true Auto-leveling, it's more of an aided leveling routine that it asks you do in regular intervals.
The 5 has proper autoleveling, and even with the wonky bed setup you rarely need to do bedleveling via the wizard on the UM2/3. I only do it when some idiot has misadjusted a printer before me.

Can't complain how they've served us, I know you've got a Lulzbot print farm and it works pretty well given the amount of hours, but our UM2's have been run hard by students and put away wet with very little maintenance. They're pushing 5 years with a least 1500 hours per year per printer without major defects except broken endstops (cable issues), and two broken heaters. Can't ask much more of printers that get abused by students on a daily basis.

HEY ANON!

It's like a 2004 or something? Last generation of the Subaru Sambar before it became a badge engineered Daihatsu Hijet.

Anything over 25 years old is fair game to import, and right now that's about the bottom of depreciation curve for these sorts of vehicles. Additionally, you may live in a cool state like >>1608708, just make sure to doublecheck.


Incidentally the Sambar is probably the worst off-road of all the kei trucks, but it's the best on-road. They call it the farmer's Porsche, because it is rear-engined with McPherson/trailing arm independent suspension. It has 4 cylinders instead of 3, and has a genuinely nice engine note. I've even taken it autocrossing! In all honesty it drives like a slightly faster original beetle. Very car like. Gets stuck in the dirt very easily, even in 4wd low.

Other kei trucks generally have leaf springs and solid axles. They feel very much like overpowered golf carts. Having a 50hp golf cart is tons of fun of course, but they are...interesting...at speed. They'll all run rings around the Sambar offroad, especially the ones with diff-lock.


It's without a doubt the easiest car I've ever worked on. I once did a timing belt/water-pump job with no prior knowledge in about 2 hours. I could probably do the same job in an hour, now that I've done it before. I'm not a mechanic.

If you are serious about getting one, I know the right people to make it happen anon. Have a couple friends who export cars all the time. Never done it myself, but an educated guess on cost would be something like this:

1000-4000 The actual truck
2000 Shipping
1000 Fees
1000-2000 Myself and my friend's time, gas, etc.

Send me an email if you want to talk in depth, and don't feel like you need to buy one of course.

Anon, I would use silicone caulk for that purpose. Cheap shit is fine.

Ooh! Ooh! I can answer all your questions about this. I daily drive 2 Subaru Sambars, a van and a truck.

I'll write a more detailed post tonight, since I'm at work right now. For now, I can tell you that building a big camper box to go in the back would be quite easy to do.

While the posted load limit of these vehicles is 350kg, this is bureaucratic not mechanical. I've comfortably carried at least 500kg in my van. I wouldn't want to drive down a mountain with that weight, but the handling and acceleration were fine.

These vehicles are geared very low. Your top speed is about 130kph, but I don't recommend exceeding 100 for more than a few minutes at a time. 80 is your cruise speed. Above that the engine just screams in high rev agony. It's 660cc, but it most certainly is not a motorcycle engine. The handling also gets interesting above 80 (50mph). Below, they are responsive and nimble driver's cars. The truck gets 40mpg, the van 35.

There's certainly enough space in the bed to lie down comfortably. I'm a manlet but I'm not a midget. (Incidentally, have a look at the daihatsu midget if you fancy tiny trucks.)

They are not very comfortable for long trips due to short wheelbase and hard suspension. They are plenty roomy though. I'm planning on turning the van into a camper, though I'll tell you I'd never consider living permanently in it.

It is best to cut the grass with small scissors

thanks again anon
thumbs up

maybe im in the wrong general.
a few days ago i came to ask about fixing the motor in my vent. an anon guided me on what to buy, and i got the part today and self installed in under five minutes with a butter knife. it works and i want to say thank you to anon and /diy/
