what did anon mean by this?

>>1513825
Hey Anon, what did you mean by this?

>>1513766
i wanted to get attention, sorry

>>1513768
Its ok, you're in good company

>>1513777
it's a pretty quick board anyway, hopefully someone will know

I guess not long since post, but an update to my op >>1513765 would be that I just tested all the internal wires and they seem fine, I might swap them for new ones for the $4-5 but i don't think that's the issue.
I would still appreciate any help.

>>1513765
>My question to /diy/ is if it's possible to swap in a mainboard from another TV different manufacturer and jerryrig it to work without audio issues
why? just get the right board from ebay or whatever

loosen the little screw in the end you retard

>>1513668
>little round thing

>>1513667
Its a $800 dryer vrs maybe a simple part.
I have a replacement board coming in but I like to tinker.

>>1513673
This was my assumption but the output from mcu is not changing. So your opinion is bad mcu (or mcu is not seeing what it wants to see to allow the switch)

>>1513682
>This was my assumption but the output from mcu is not changing. So your opinion is bad mcu (or mcu is not seeing what it wants to see to allow the switch)

if you really want to check, cut the trace somewhere convenient and check the signal

while you're at it, feed the darlington input with whatever the MCU supply voltage is and see if the relay clicks

>>1513685
Thank you that was exactly the advise I needed. I lifted the pin on transistor and gave it 5v. Relay switched.

I guess the mcu is not recognizing a certain requirement or the I/O has gone bad on that pin. Not really worth digging around any further.

>>1513680
Buy a better dryer that won't break on you.

well, how much do you know about injection molding?
>what would be the cheapest way of going at it
cheapest? your pic is cheapest unless you wanna go untra ghetto and have a bad time
>how good would the results be
honestly, they will be shit, but relatively they will be nice, there will be a learning curve and once you get past that they will be better
>pay for the plastic
industrial prices are like $1~ a kg
> easiest way of doing the molds (ceramic or epoxy)
since you only have a 3d printer,
-print an oversized (because shrinkage) version of your part with draft angles,
-smooth the shit outta it removing all undercuts,ridges
-make your mold using said printed part, with epoxy resin

>>1513621
>how much do you know about injection molding
I watched a few youtube videos, that's all.
>unless you wanna go untra ghetto and have a bad time
How would I do that?
>industrial prices are like $1~ a kg
Can I get this as a private individual without buying tons and tons of plastic?

>>1513853
>How would I do that?
get a drill press steel tube with an endcap and some sort of plug, a blowtorch and something to make the mold with.
then shape the plug so it fits precisely in the tube with one end and so the other end fits in the drill chuck. this could be done without the chuck, but it might not go as smooth. Then drill a small hole in the endcap and put it on the lower side of the tube, this is where the plastic will come out. could also screw in an old printer nozle if u already have a 3d pritner.
then put the plastic in the tube, heat it up and press it down so it will flow in the mold.
>Can I get this as a private individual without buying tons and tons of plastic?
old 3d printed parts, separate garbage or just use china printer filement

>>1513531
o and also, you could just use the extruder and hotend of a printer

if its just the bathroom then its either the faucet or the pipe somewhere between there and a branch inline.

>>1513510
What kind of pipes are they? and
>>1513555

>>1513510
If it happens every time there may be a black iron pipe somewhere. It is normal after the faucets aren’t used in a long time.

>>1513510
Bad pipes, prepare your anus for a full replacement. Try to use the new aluminium/teflon 5 layer pipes and a filter at the water inlet. It won't be cheap.

Move out of Flint, Mi

Bump

Any suggestions?

Please respond.

you can seal it with flame safe caulk, it's at the hardware store they'll know when you ask.
i would recommend coating the inside with something metal-based just because it will get dirty, aluminium would be cheapest but you have a lot of options on the inside coating.

>>1513773
>but you have a lot of options on the inside coating
Like what?
I can't get aluminium and cut it.

>>1513773
>seal it with flame safe caulk
You mean like silicone?
Like cover the entire thing with silicone?

Its okay. Linemen know they're crazy.

>>1513828

holy shit

well the upside is if something did fail
you'd never know

I use a rat tail file in the size I need thats all you need those guides are a joke

>>1513605
>I use a rat tail file in the size I need
rat tail file should work for all chains
skinny at the tip - fatter in the middle
just use the part that fits your chain

>>1513466
Have you looked online for a chain made that way? More professional saws should have these options.

>>1513626
>saws should have these options
all saws have that option - you get a rip chain for the saw

>>1513599
Really?
You buy a new chain every time one gets dull?
10 minutes and the correct file is all you need for a sharp chain.

I thought about buying it, but then I realized all I'd ever use it for was plumbing and I already have a regular adjustable wrench that does the job

you dummies this is what you use for plumbing

>>1513811
>all I'd ever use it for was plumbing
thats just silly

>>1513815
I mean, there are other uses for it yeah, but I don't do any of the things that I would use it for and I already have other tools that work well enough
Maybe I'll get one to replace my adjustable wrench if I use it enough to warrant the purchase

>>1513516
Adjustable wrenches are great tools for pre-rounding the heads so a pipe wrench can fit perfectly on them

>>1513432
>in the fixtures.

Google for wifi controlled light switch

Make sure it is non-dimming. Lasts longer.
Only drawback is the switch has to be powered. i.e. power runs to the switch and then the lights.

That or >>1513387

I have home automation using the Wink hub. But my yard light has one of these >>1513357
in it. Works fine.

im surprised OP dodnt ask how to control these lights with a fucking arduino or raspberry pi. they seem to be the go to meme solution for everything on /diy/ lately

Connect them to pick related and use an app to control them via your home router.

You can just change out the light switch for one of these.

>>1513295
Try vegetable oil

>>1513262
Or does anyone know where I can get a plastic disc that is 14 inches in diameter and 7 inches thick?

Why does it have to be plastic? There's tons of steel wheels you can find that are those dimensions.

>>1513266
I see 12" acetal round stick on mcmaster. Like 150 bucks. Sure you need 14?

>>1513262
Try recycle HDPE and chuck it in a drill until you're happy with it

>>1513238
Try wrapping a lint trap around your drain tool. Or sharpen the skinniest screwdriver you have, take a mini hacksaw and saw in two or three pieces and peel it out. Use a high quality plumbers paste like tru blue and ptfe tape, plumbers putty to install the new one.

>>1513238
Can you not get in there from below, just replace the whole shoe, bring down a new one to cut to match the old one?

use small stiff hand saw, not flexible like a hacksaw. If you don't want to buy a handle for it, just a fine toothed reciprocating saw (sawzall) blade wrapped with tape at your end will work.
You carefully cut a slit through the threads vertically, just through the metal enough that you can start prying it away from the plastic drain shoe with a flat head screwdriver or such. If you get it good enough you can use needle nose pliers to grab and tear inwards to peel and twist it into itself. One a certain amount has pulled away the whole thing should start to unscrew.
If you have no luck trying to get it to fold inwards, you can cut another slit nearby and try to just remove a section and then the rest will come out easy
Just like removing broken off pipe threads out of a fitting socket and kind of like taking a broken light bulb out with pliers

>>1513238
Wonder if you can heat it up enough to bend the edge inward and use pliers to grab on a unscrew it, not so hot you melt the pvc.

i have a bachelors in comp. sci., but still CNC machining shit to try to start a real business.

the thing with programming tech industry stuff is, it really seems to be labor intensive unless you can just buy parts of code you need, while automation can be leveraged by anyone in manufacturing to make up for not having employees.

I would almost say that if you can utilize your skills to aid you in starting a business with a different focus it would be more beneficial, but I have no real experience, just goals I'm working toward for now. Can you do your own marketing? Write companion apps or something?

>>1513235
A new business needs to last over 5 years in order to get out of that early dropoff zone. Most fold within that time.

I say keeping doing the business thing, but take up a hobby like gardening, >>>/out/1402477 or, knife making, >>1497142

>>1513750
So true. I'm into gardening now and in 2019 I'll hit 5 years for my business. The 1st year was full of guessing work and on 3rd year things change so much. Good luck.

>>1513750
Literally the shittiest advice of all time, just because idiots put out a statistic doesn't mean it's relevant to getting your business off the ground.

Business is one of the easiest and most rewarding things to do if you do it right, boiling it down to its basic parts you take resources in and get more out. If you aren't getting more out then you need to approach it from a different angle and try something new, if you listen to these idiots you're just gonna sit on a push for 5 years and have nothing to show for it.

Fug, I just realised it's a 3/4 hole, that's way too much hardware to try and embed. So about that anchor bolt..

>>1513176
coathanger wire bent in an L and and chucked into a drill. Or use a brick anchor.

Pic related.

>>1513195
That's it. coat hanger will do. Thanks!

Turned out okay. Thanks for the advice everyone.

If only they made masonry screws.

>>1513164
Just put a deadbolt on it with a key lock ffs

>>1513170
This is not a matter of growing a pair, they're just horrible overbearing people. I have a job, a girl, friends, I get good grades, I dress my age. Standing up to them doesn't work and neither does good behavior. I just have to sit them out until I'm financially independent.

>>1513174
Or just change the existing latch out with a locking one. But if anon's parents are truly asshats they will just pop the hinge pins anyway.

Get a lock box, fill it with rocks, put note inside that says "nosy fucker ain't ya", hide it someplace obvious. Wait for questions. profit.

and if all else fails, enlist. Free room, board, education, and get to see the world. Though I will say that basic sucks. But once you are out it is a great thing for the resume.

>>1513166
This >>1513199

You don’t even need a deadbolt. Get a door handle with a key and you should be able to swap them out within 5min with a single screwdriver.

>>1513164
Their house their rules bud. Try to tolerate it until you move out
