Your lawn will NEVER be this green.

Your lawn will NEVER be this thick.

How does this make you feel?

I have an Xperia Z1, but I'm getting a Z5c in a couple of days.

Can I put this Z1 to good use somehow? It's basically a tiny capable computer with very low energy consumption.

So my friend gave me a knife blade since he broke the handle on it. I want to make the handle myself out of wood so that I can kind of make it fit for me, but I don't know if there is a certain type of wood that has to be used. Any idea what kind of wood is best?

So I'm working on a group university project involving using a raspberry pi as a guitar effects processor. My group and I have discussed a few ideas about what kind of effects we could reasonably program on the pi and implement within a 1 month time period and a $100 budget. I think it would be kinda awesome to include tube distortion not only for the presentation value but also as a learning tool. The problem is I know nothing about wiring up vacuum tubes and the data sheets I've seen so far aren't intuitive to someone like myself that has only seen IC's in school. So my first question is, given this tube, (because it's the cheapest I could find.)

would it be possible to implement a distortion effect without going over budget on the supporting hardware?
Second, does anyone have any knowledge they'd like to share about how to wire this thing up?

I'm not trying to get someone else to do my homework for me. I'm in a little over my head here and hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I'll gladly share the results in mid December if we're able to see this through.

3d printer kit

No.894304 ViewReplyReportDelete
I was given this in exchange for a case of beer. Can anyone help me identify this 3d printer kit?

It looks like I have 6 stepper motors, almost two complete extruder feeders, one extruder, and a bunch of half-assistance 3d printed parts that fit threaded rods somehow. The computer is an arduino mega, and it has a stepper motor driver shield (no idea if it is complete but it looks done?)

I have experience with 3d printers, just not this one... and I've never built a kit one before.

Can anyone identify this kit? It's a repeat of some sort I guess? It was sitting in a box for a few years unassembled, and it needs to be brought to life.

Hey, any old radio guys wanna help me out in identifying this component here? I googled what I could, but all I found was that there were a lot of James in the 1800s.

Is calling a pro really the only way to get rid of bedbugs? I've done a ton of searching and pretty much every site just says to call a pro.

CNC/Milling help

Hey /diy/

First, thank you for the help to date! Got libreCad up and running, it's awesome.

I've run into a bit of a situation. I'm tying to make a face plate for a cabinet I'm building that will have 4 USB ports.

I got one of those 4 port PCI USB bracket things, because that's exactly what I need but I don't know how to properly recreate that design with the proper spacing and dimensions.

Pic related. I did my best with a ruler and just kinda of eye-balling it, but as you can it's still off.

1) I was wondering if anyone knows a better method than the guess/print/check/retry method.

Or 2) is there a places where I can the exact dimensions of this faceplate? Hole size, slot size spacing etc ...?

Pic related.
