Board: /diy/
"/diy/ - Do It Yourself" is 4chan's imageboard for DIY/do it yourself projects, home improvement, and makers.
Welcome to /diy/, a place to:
Post and discuss /diy/ projects, ask questions regarding /diy/ topics and exchange ideas and techniques.
Please keep in mind:
- This is a SFW board. No fleshlights or other sex toys.
- No weapons. That goes to /k/ - Weapons. The workmanship and techniques involved in creating objects which could be used as weapons or the portion of a weapons project that involves them (e.g., forging steel for a blade, machining for gunsmithing, what epoxy can I use to fix my bow) may be discussed in /diy/, but discussing weapon-specific techniques/designs or the actual use of weapons is disallowed. Things such as fixed blade knives or axes are considered tools, things such as swords, guns or explosives are considered weapons.
- No drugs or drug paraphernalia (See Global Rule 1). If you want to discuss something that could involve such things (e.g., carving a tobacco pipe from wood) that's fine, but make sure it's /diy/ related and doesn't involve drugs or it will result in deletion/ban.

http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/ Hello fellow boomers
I'm need of your superior advice
I'm needing to build a 23" x 23" plastic platform. It would some what resemble a pallet when down.
Plastic because it won't get mold on it when wet.
Needs to let water go through it. Needs 2.5" clearance off ground probably maybe 3"
What's the cheapest way to build this? Or obtain?
It would look something like picrel but doesn't have to be perfect.

Previous: Buried deep in a hidden, radioactive ruin I manage an auto body shop. There's a woman that I keep giving second chances and she keeps screwing up.
How do you deal with strong woman types in the trades? I fear I am going to have to fire her but she seems like the type who blames anyone but herself. Looks like nobody's made a new tool thread since the board got nuked, and people are already posting independent threads for their new purchases, so I guess I'll do it.
Been wanting some decent nutfuckers for a while and this 3-pack of Korean-made Kleins was on sale for $26.99 so I grabbed it.
Also grabbed the Icon knife when I was at HF yesterday. In the process of moving and everything except my Sebenza is deep in storage, and I've had too many close calls with that thing so I needed a beater. It's really nice for $40, and yeah I know it's a clone of a Todd Begg design but I don't really care, the original is fugly anyway. Use this thread to ask questions you think don't require a thread of their own.
The old thread no longer bumps and is on page 7 now: >>2848293
If you didn't get a response in the old thread, feel free to ask again here. How the hell do you reliably turn on single phase induction motors? At 1 HP the power consumption is nothing, but that inrush current is making me crazy. Now the motor wont start at all, each time i plug it in all lights go out in a microsecond

I haven't been brewing much lately, but I want to get back into it so here we go. Post your home brewing recipes and setups for us all to criticize. roast the electric bike I made. tried to go for some kind of military-esque theme with ammo boxes on the sides to hold the electronics and batteries. Front suspension may look a big funky but actually works surprisingly well. Hello, I have a 1997 Chevy Express 2500. She has 37,000 miles on her. Runs great, damn near new, she just has been slowly leaking oil since I got her, maybe 1-2 quarts every 3,000 miles. Major things I have already done, sparkers, coolant flush, shocks, calipers, drum brakes, rewired headlights, other minorish repairs. Getting a trans flush at 50k. Some questions here if you guys don't mind helping me out, I'll be in your debt.
1. where is the leak coming from? I am pretty sure its the head gasket
2. being a 30 year old car, what else should I be looking for? anything that I should just replace before it breaks? Anything to check?
3. starting cold, it sounds like an old farm truck for a bit. warms up, quiet like a cat. Is that one of the pumps going? (not the best question I understand)
4. fuel pump whines like a bitch. electrical buzzing. That ill be replacing soon enough, any idea why it's buzzing?
the most important are 1, 2, and 3, obviously. Any insight, any information is appreciated. pardon the spamming of pictures >watch 3 hour heavy equipment repair videos
>don't actually use or repair heavy equipment
>start shopping for used excavators
Anyone else do this?
Is heavy equipment repair or operation a meme like all other trades or can it actually be viable? Is it possible to salvage a tip like this that has been used by a moron (me) without being first tinned? It was pitch black, I heated it and cleaned it with flux and a brush a couple time. But it is tin phobic now, I cannot get it to stick to it. How do?! Is this the right board?
Ford transit 280lwb 2.4 rwd. Why did this hole blow in the tube that feeds the turbo? It's blowing black smoke everywhere. I plugged it up and now it won't start. It's been a good while since we've had a good tractor thread. I want to start an Airbnb and not sure I can get a digit thingy installed on my apartment door, so I might have to settle for the lockbox way.
Problem is apartment is dipshit so my only option is to get a tiny lock box to screw onto my tiny mailbox (the only legal place to put it, other than my car maybe?? But I don't want to drill my car)
Would it be super easy to break into or smth
I mean they wouldn't know which apartment the key is for anyway r-right? This is something I could go to trade school for, right? I bought the old family house and it has a bunch of plum trees and quince trees. No one in my family took care of them so they are all at least 12 ft. tall now.
The construction sucks so I want to rebuild part of the house and these trees make it difficult to use the best locations in the house (retards left the trees and external bathrooms in front of the sun and the construction behind the shade...), but I don't want to kill them. Is this possible? I think transplanting or at least rotating them in the vertical axis could help.
Pic not related. Abandoned pipe problem.
Hi DIY, I am planning to clean up this pipe, it has been abandoned for 11 years, before I used to throw plastic bags in it which caused serious blockage.
There used to be a well in this place but it has been replaced, and the pipe seems to be to release some kind of gas. The well before being filled up was often a place to dump all kinds of trash like leftover food and animal carcasses.
I am afraid that one day this well will explode so I decided to clean it up, /diy/ let me know what should I do. >Used to always hire someone to clean my carpets
>Had a second hand rug "professionally" cleaned recently
>It was still sticky and stinky and generally awful even after cleaning. Guy said the smell was from being rolled up and would go away. It didn't
>Messaged the guy to get him to reclean it
>Change mind. Delete the messages before he sees and buy a carpet cleaner
This is the result. Hiring carpet cleaners is the biggest fucking scam unless you're a scumlord and can write it off as a business expense to launder money to your mates. What's the consensus on coveralls for winter wear? I'm required to wear high vis and would like a proper protection from the rain. alright lads how do i not electrocute myself? never installed one of these before, i'm gonna go get one of those non contact voltage testers i suppose
the bathroom has a fan isolator switch which i guess if i turn off it breaks the circuit completely and it's safe to work on? I have just been promoted from Welder's Assistant to Welder. I always use Pic related, can you tell me how to improve? I always get stuck on what I want to weld*, I think I can't see well with the grimace. I would like you to recommend me courses or books or YouTube channels in English and online because I live in a rural town in Mexico so there are no courses nearby.
*My rod always gets stuck with what I want to weld Hello, I am looking for advice on mounting a pullup bar in my garage.

#356 laser levels.
i am a contractor. i do a lot of odd handyman style work.
i don't user laser levels everyday but they are handy as fuck to have when you need them.
for the last 3 years I been using a shitbox from eBay called a cubitron, it's been wonderful. i finally killed it with a nice drop of material on top of it.
this is what I decided on to replace it after ordering a huepar pro and sending it back because the button was not functioning right and the tilt was dramatically uneven on tolerance.
one way it tilt 4 degrees and the other way it tilt less than 1 before it was flashing as off balance.
what's everyone's opinion? id love a plum bob 3d, but a 3d works just fine for all my needs.
is this going to serve me as well as the red shitbox cubitron?
i will test it for level and make sure it's adequate for work before I use it. but is this the best bang for my buck? i use to shim the cubitron on a ladder so I imagine anything a upgrade.
I'm still not sure I made the right decision and there's still time to correct it I've never laid a brick in my life but I want a bbq pit. I've got stacks of OSB from tearing down a shed from someone. I was thinking about making a pit shaped mold, adding some molding strips in the pattern of brick lines then bracing it inside and out and pouring concrete. Maybe paint it after
Is this an entirely retarded idea? why don't people seem to craft with wood anymore?
everyone only makes 3d-printed plastic crap nowadays (me included to be honest)
how would I get started with woodcrafting?
did some stuff back in elementary school but that was very basic
any good books, advices, etc.? Office Chairs
So I've owned like 5 of these in the last 10 years. The areas on mine that always seem to just wear down and rip are the leather arm rests and the sitting portion.
Is there a chair I could buy that lasts and has easily attainable spare parts that I can switch out if broken?
I've come to the conclusion that PU arm rests are a better alternative to leather arm rests since they don't break as easily and are easier to clean.
Thoughts? I want to install roof lights on each other of my pickup. 4x lights
I can run 1 wire between each bar - light to light
And will run 1 wire front back roof bar to front roof bar.
Then 1 wire will run down the waterchannel to the battery power.
However, I also have a roof box and want to run the wire inside the roof box, but sometimes will remove the roof box, so need a Y or 2 way splitter to pull the wires out of the rooftbox at the A pillar
I cannot find anything like this. I attach pics of what I have been looking at
These push connectors are all 2 to 2, 4 to 4.
I can't see a way to make 2x separate connections to a 1x 4 way connector down to the battery
What's my options here (I know I can join them twisting and tape, but I want a neat job)
Extra question - how do I keep wire neat on roof from front to back without putting wire into water rain channel? I want to build a coop for 3-5 chickens in a footprint of 7x10 feet (about 6-7ft tall max). I have laid some cinderblocks before but never worked with bricks. I figure I'll need a cement foundation but I'm not sure about the rest of the project. any help is greatly appreciated! Trades are a scam. The biggest part of the scam is the apprenticeship system. Each country has its own system for screwing young men out of their time in exchange for a pittance. Here in Canada, we are expected to spend roughly three months of the year on employment insurance during our apprenticeship while we complete the mandatory course work. We are offered four figure loans that won't even cover two months of rent and a fraction of our usual pay. As of 2024, apprentices can't make rent and journeyman can't buy condos. I have accumulated more debt as an apprentice than I ever did as a full time university student since I had much more access to benefits and I didn't have to chase work.
Trades education is also a scam. They promise "earn while you learn," but you'll quickly realize that it's actually "debt while you sweat." Even with a union job, apprentice pay is so low that you'll be forced to live with your parents during your apprenticeship. If you can't live with your parents, you'll go into as much or more debt as a university student while living in a tiny studio apartment or a bunch of roommates. Keep in mind that unlike a university student you will be paying for a vehicle and tools while working full time and you won't have access to five figure loans to pay your bills. You're basically singing up to be an indentured servant to people who *never* had to go through as much educational gate keeping as you. Boomers did their hours, wrote their licensing exam, and became a journeyman. There weren't expected to spend a year out of work for a four year apprenticeship. They also weren't required to have a bunch of secondary certifications just to turn a wrench or a swing hammer. Failing final exams and taking more than four years to do an apprenticeship is common. Has anyone tried jlc3dp? I don't want to buy a printer and jlc3dp seems dirt cheap. But I don't know which material to pick. I want to print a basic project box with a lid. ITT useful hacks, secret methods, forbidden knowledge, etc. I didn't post about this here earlier, cuz it didn't make sense to shill my sticker business on a board where everyone could just make the things themselves. But I still thought I should tell you guys about what's happened since the last thread here, since this is where my whole project started.
TL;DR I've started a business selling basedjak stickers on Etsy, and have even purchased ads 4chan (pic related). I doubt any of you fellas will wanna buy any, so I won't link it here. But I imagine you'll still enjoy the most recent pics. My goal is to be able to help my community voluntary and teach other people how to do it too. I made this thread with the purpose to ask you for advices on how to do that properly so I don't learn any bad habbits and perhaps be able to learn it quicker than through trial and error. Where do you think I should start from and how to progress? This AC adapter for my pedal board just made a popping sound, I disconnected it and the thingy was very hot, plus seems like something came off on the inside. Worth noticing I had it plugged to a voltage protector.
I haven't plugged it back, my questions are the following:
>1. Is it safe to plug it again and test if it still works? Or is it already dead
>2. Is my pedalboard (power supply and pedals) ok? Is there a chance it's the whole thing damaged?
I know next to nothing about electronics, thanks in advance. I'd like to make a warm tent around the computer desk, to avoid having to heat the rest of the house to room temperature. I live in a big, old house, and if I could heat only the area around the computer to 21C, I could leave the rest of the house to drop down to 15C, saving tons of money in heating during the Finnish winter. I spent majority of my day by my computer desk, so a 2,5x2,5m tent in the middle of the living room would be enough for 90% of the week.
The only difficulty is, the tent must be removable when guests come over and everyone wants to gather around the battlestation. My best idea thus far is to have the walls and roof of the tent hung from hooks on the ceiling of the house, but it would be very difficult to disassemble and reassemble over the entire table so better solutions are needed.
Another question is, what's the best way to retain heat in such tent? Felt is cheap and thick, while space blanket is lightweight but extremely expensive, and probably rustles with any movement. Waterproofing obviously isn't an issue since the tent is indoors, and as my plan is to have computer's exhaust fan constantly blowing hot air into it, suffocation shouldn't be a threat either. So, what do you recommend? Why don't they sell power tools with swappable motors, housing, gears, chucks and transmission?
Surely every construction company would rather pay $50 for a motor than drop $1000 on a new tool? Diesel truck out of fuel, do not want to bleed the thing can I just pressurize the gas tank to fully prime the pump. Air in the fuel line hurts the non priming fuel pump but is there another reason to bleed the lines? Why is knipex one of the few brands that seems to justify the hype?
https://youtu.be/cUklhL1cGqY?si=rd44QU32ZJaf44gc My basement storage unit has no cameras in it and I think it could be easily picked by some asshole.
I wanted to add a security camera down there, though it won’t have access to wifi either.
Can anyone please tell me exactly how to do it? Or any book or manual that would teach me to do it?
The picture is all I have to work with, those are the wires.
Also adding another pic of the light switch. I have 18k in savings, is there any job that is viable to work for myself and at least make minimum wage?
I guess the easiest route would be lawn and garden maintenance? Recently, this local hardware store in the Baltics has started selling their own name brand tools - Grunder. They are incredibly cheap, but don't look like the worst quality - drills have metal chucks, etc. I am kind of curious to try them out, but can't find any reviews on them.
Being that these are obviously rebrands of something, I did a bit of research and was able to track down a company called Wen, which seems to offer the same tools. Even their batteries look to be compatible.
There are a few reviews about Wen cordless tools here and there, but nothing much. Supposedly, they are on sale in the US and I was wondering if perhaps someone here has any experience with those or could rate them, relative to other brands.
or perhaps somebody knows of other brand names, these same tools go by. I bought a charging brick at 7/11 that doesn't work. It would trigger the "charging" symbol on the phone but actually seemed to discharge the phone faster than if it wasn't plugged in at all. So I looked closer at the brick, it says, "input: 100-240 DC"
Am I retarded, or doesn't that imply that it expects me to plug it into a DC source of power? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ocy2mXuD3AQ Hello, I recently came into some money, lower 7 digits, and need some advice. There is an abandoned house on the outskirts of town near where i reside and am kind of interested in it. This house seems to have been abandoned at least 25 years, maybe more. Today I and my dad went into the house itself (doors smashed in) and it is in surprisingly good condition. The structure is surprisingly fucking solid, no sagging on the roof, no foundation crumbling or ceilings sagging, or walls bowing, no wettish smell, smell of mold, whatever. The only thing that I have identified is that there's typical surface damage from homeless people and druggies going in and stripping the house of parts. I think the only thing that has kept the house in relatively decent condition is the overgrowth of trees around it. Any idea how much a remodel/renovation would cost?

I live in Alberta, what type of roach is this?
I’m guessing German or Oriental/Asian and I’m hoping it’s just a Asian roach, I’m worried about a infestation because I already found another roach on the balcony (I promptly squished it to death, but the roach in picrel I let outside since I didn’t know what it was)
Any good way to check for infestations? I don’t think it’s coming from the kitchen or my unit and it might be coming from the first floor unit since criminal scum were renting there and causing issues.
Should I use diatomaceous earth? I heard that there’s also concentrated essential oil extracts for killing Asian cockroaches >TV remote stops working
>Figure it needs new batteries
>Buy a pack of AAAs
>Turns out the issue wasn't with the batteries, it was some gay shit with the WiFi
>Go to throw pack of AAAs in my junk drawer
>Realize I already had an unopened pack of AAAs
I've got at least two dozen of these now and nothing but my TV remote uses them. Any recommendations for tools/gadgets that use them? Either one thing that uses a lot them or something where it's beneficial to have more than one. I don't understand why people say freecad is harder than fusion 360 or solidworks or onshape.
For me its the other way around. But I'm making the usual simple pieces you'd expect from 3d printing like handles or stands.

I don't see how, if we assume the same quality good copper, knob and tube is better than modern ways. I can't see the benefit What about going into credit card debt to install solar panels on home?

I've see them with big retarded overhangs on the front,back and sides like this, and I've also seen ones with basically none.
Is the overhang serving any actual functional purpose for the longevity of the building? I would imagine the low end of the slop, some overhang will help keep water from the top of the plywood on the back wall if rain is heavy enough? The bigger front ones would help shade the door from rain a bit, but I don't really care about that. Do the side extensions serve any purpose? What is the best and most simple way to make sure coped skirting boards/base boards have no gap, particularly on the inside corner?
I tried to do a 45 degree and then a 90 degree cut, but still ended up with a gap greater than 2mm. Some videos I've seen are saying it should be 46.5 degrees, but others aren't, is this better? Found this. Wanna make a crossbow from it. Make it as powerful as possible, gonna buy pulleys tomorrow.

>The plaster around every fucking vent looks like this
Seems like I have probably 3 options:
1. Try to replace a large section of plaster with drywall
2. Try to patch it with drywall mud (almost guaranteed to look like shit and crumble too)
3. try to find some vents with super wide flanges on the sides
Any advice on how to proceed here? I got this paramotor that I damaged on a hard landing. The metal cage that protects the prop smacked the plastic and chipped off a piece, exposing the fibre glass.
How would you go about patching it up? I thought about using some epoxy putty as a filler but I don't know how well it bonds or holds up to vibrations. your motherfucking hack of the day. happy hunting my negros. If 50 plastic cups cost around $20 why wouldn't you make molds and sell the cups?

But its everything really. Anons please help, I need to fix this in like 3days before my mom gets back home. If I don't she might actually kick me out, oh god anons why am I like this please help anon please. Also I'm a hiki-neet so the budget is extremly limited. Is there anything that I can do to fix this??? (also covering it up is not gonna work because it's in the kitchen so if I put something over it she will immediately notice) any way to repaint without looking awful? I don’t know shit about air compressors, various nailers, best brands, and so on. Help. I'm building outdoor furniture and my plan was to use yellow pine from the local box store and build a kiln for it and dry the wood. When I brought it home, I tested it with my moisture meter and it read 7% moisture by weight. From every thing I heard about box store lumber, it should have been 3 to 4 times higher. Did I luck up and got their inventory that has been setting out in the warehouse long enough to air drive or am I using a busted moisture meter?
Pic related as that's the type of moisture meter I used We and our neighbors are fed up with burglars entering our backyards almost nightly and moving through. The police are not effective.

Alright nibbers, I have a literal square meter where I have to fit bathroom.

I'm considering buying something like pic related.
Currently I mow over the fallen leaves, and then my wife picks up the large piles, and drives them over to the refuse dump.
I have too many leafing trees to simply mulch over. They don't all break down over winter and I get too many soggy brown spots in the spring Hey guys I'm interested in preserving foods, fermentation and other related things.
My family sun dries tomatoes and onions every year when they're in peak season and they're very inexpensive. The onions last a few years with no refrigeration as long as you keep them out of sunlight.
Anyway i was thinking of getting those cheap Amazon basics vacuum sealer machines to make the dried veggies last even longer so I asked chat GPT pic rel. It says they'll only last 6 months to a year even after being vacuum sealed and work a desiccant.
I find that hard to believe because I've had just plain dried veggies last like 2 years with no desiccants or anything.
Either that or I'm eating veggies with mega pesticides in them which kill any fungus that lands on it

I want to get more into working on cars so I'd like to make sure we have enough room for adequate storage/working etc. How much space is needed for a work area plus 2-3 cars? Would a 20'x30' be able to fit 3 cars plus tools/equipment or 2 cars and a work area that would be big enough to work on an engine? Should I pay extra to get a 12' beam height for a full-height lift? Anything else I should know? A place for anything to do with Welding.
Post your welds, ask questions and discuss sticking metals together.
IDK I just want a place to talk about welding. My 1910 colonial has some knob and tube wire left, it's 2 circuits. One for the middle room and one for the front bedroom. I've pulled up the attic floor and ran new romex. I'm at the point that the only thing left is cutting the holes in the wall for the switches and new outlets. The outlets were on the baseboard before but i want to move them up on the wall and the room never had wall switches. Both rooms have had remote control ceiling fans/lights that were awful to live with.
Anyways, pic related is what I thought would be the easiest to wire because it's in the hallway and had an existing switch. Well just removing the old switch the plaster was crumbling then remove the old box took a ton more. Right now I got a old construction box that is hanging on by a hair. My question is how should I go about cutting in the new switch and outlet boxes? I have a oscillating multi tool with fresh blades but I also probably have to cut an access hole. Is the oscillating multi tool okay for cutting everything in? Any tricks from keeping the wall from crumbling as I cut? Can I just patch my access hole with drywall and build it out with joint compound? What would be the best joint compound to use to build out the dry way to be flush? >they do it for $20 an hour How does one go about actually drawing up the plans for your dream home without hiring an architect? All the codes are available for free viewing online, but how do you make sure that you haven't missed an important-but-obscure detail that will come back to bite you later, like pic related?

I have an old zenith record player/amplifier is it possible to upgrade this to a newer power supply that doesn't give off so much heat or should i just leave it alone it works fine. I crossthreaded an M8 hole in my motorcycle frame. the hole is one of the mounting points for some crashbars.
what is a better fix, using helicoils or threaded inserts? i never actually used helicoils and i am not sure if they allow for the bolt to be removed periodically (in my case for oil changes). the threaded inserts would be made out of an M10 bolt on the lathe, but i still have to check if theres enough material on the frame part. upsizing the hole directly for an M10 thread is my least favorite option, and using a nut at the back is not possible. what do you think?

A vise will hold a stack of steel plates (no more than like a foot long, though more likely closer to 6") in place.
A camera will look at the plates and identify the seams along which to weld.
The arm holding the welder will move into position and weld each seam, then reset to a neutral position

Next weekend we purchase & install steel R-panel roof & siding.
November will begin the next expansion upward & outward. we will start at the current open face on the newest section and set posts for a 3m tall × 4.25m wide × 2.5m deep section that will begin to enclose the structure. eventually we will add another 7.3m long × 2.5m. deep section opposing that, so that it starts to take shape of a traditional Monitor Barn roofline.
we built the original structure 2.5m × 2.5m and have expanded it as our flock has grown. this allowed us to spread construction cost over 20 months in 3 phases, while still providing shelter for our livestock. we have improved technique and materials each step of the process.
we had a MASSIVE storm with windspeeds in excess of 125kmh that destroyed the asphalt composition & underlayment roof. we will replace it with steel and will also use steel siding on the exterior walls.
I would guess 80% of materials we recovered from our home construction 20 months ago, demolition projects at work, or rejected 2nds, damages and offs from jobs that were written off by the owner. Anons, what is this plastic molding in the bottom corner of my entire basement?
I’m going to remove it, it looks like it was put there for the purpose of mice to live in. how would you improve simple tools for example an axe?
different materials? different design? is there even space for improvement?
Is the axe an ultimate tool, perfect in it's form for thousand of years? I wouldnt wish fixing these fuckin things on my worse enemies Should I get a natural gas backup generator for 7k or should I get a few solar panels instead? What kind of cutting oil do you use with a reciprocating saw? I’ve heard of people just using water to cool the blade, how do you keep it from getting inside the electronics? not rotten eggs or gas
what is it? Is it a bad idea to paint my bedroom black? Will it lower the value of my home? I never messed with pipes and such, what is the correct way to fix this?
the pipe under my sink become undone over time and the rubber seal is wonky
tightening the ring around the pipe doesn't seem to do much either I HATE STRIPPING I HATE STRIPPING I HATE STRIPPING I got one of these dumbass rooms with no built-in lighting in the ceiling, the light switch just controls one of the power outlets. I guess they expected people to just use floor lamps or something, it's gay. I have a corded light similar to pic related hanging from the ceiling, but I'd like to do a ceiling fan instead. Are there any corded ceiling fans with regular-ass light bulbs that just plug into the wall? Doesn't even have to be a big fan, it's a pretty small room. My parents are moving out of their house after 30 years and I just disassembled my dad's old workbench, shown in this old pic. The metal frame was salvageable but the wood parts were too far gone. I'll replace the top with a thicker slab of MDF (or maybe even a butcher block kinda thing) when we set it up at his new place but we're going to need a new back panel, the original was traditional pegboard but I'm wondering if there's a better option nowadays. Most things I'm finding by googling seem to be intended for direct wall mounting, and I think the back functions as a brace on this bench so whatever I get ought to be a single piece cut to size rather than multiple small panels. Does anybody have any good suggestions or should I just go with regular old pegboard again? We built a meme-grey house. not for resale value, but because it is our prefrence. Greyscale inside & oot. Bit 'o' black accent with hwhite trim inside. It looks fucking great.
we will never sell this home. we will fucking die here. We give a shit aboot resale. We knew before it was built, what color scheme we wanted, thus the black brick & grey stucco.
"""Scandinavian""" style is the way. Why pretend otherwise? State your (incorrect) case. First of all my bad if there's already a 3d print thread going, I didn't see it.
So I have encountered an unusual problem with my ender 3 printer I tried printing a folding trigger for my gun using pla+, and my printer does this weird thing where it prints great for the first half inch, then looks like it is skipping layers for the next half, and then just stops moving up along the Z axis, but the Y and X axis are moving just fine. It also will stop extruding, even though it's not clogged. I push filament through manually and it's fine. Any idea what the fuck is happening with my printer? Pic very much related. Bubble bubble
Looks like vomit but it smells great
Brewing thread Was looking for the fill port, they'd was a cap with another screw inside it, like right to the left of the gear
Not a pic of mind btw, but it looked like this.
Tldr: it wasn't the full port. Jack seems to work differently now.. idk slower and maybe it doesn't lift like it used too or maybe it's stronger now, I was lifting a big truck with it for the first time. Idfk if it was overloaded
It's a vintage floor jack
