>>690751246
it was loud as fuck and pretty pointless.
>>690751621
Idiot you didnt make that
when i was younger i used to take remote control cars apart and frankenstein them together, made some pretty mad "no wrong way up" cars but i could only control one at a time and have the other one driving full pelt so it would just do flips over and over
shit was rad though

Aquarium, stand, and custom sump. Project is on hold until I can find a way to cut smooth straight lines in the back of the display tank. Can't find a tool capable of that yet.
>>690754680
Did you try a router?
>>690754786
When I tried a router on scrap acrylic, the cuts were rough. Kept shooting out searing hot balls of plastic too. It was a weak $20 harbor freight router though
>>690751246
THATS the coolest thing you've ever built?
kek
>>690754955
use a jigsaw (reciprocating saw) to make the cuts and smooth with a belt sander and then by hand with fine sandpaper
>>690755388
The cuts have to be made an inch below the top rim. If you know anything about aquariums, it's meant to serve as a coast to coast overflow into an overflow box, which in turn is plumbed directly into the sump. So there will be two 12" long lines about 1/8th to 3/16th inches thick. I haven't tried a jigsaw yet though
>>690751246

>>690755797
i know nothing about aquariums but i think you can use the jigsaw. Don't use it freehand, the base of the saw should run along a straight line so set it up

>>690758135
The vibes are connected to the audio circuit in such a way that turning the gain up for an individual channel increases the speed of its associated vibe. It's not meant to be used on a person. It's just for show. The vibes are spaced in such a way that you'd need some horribly disfigured anatomy to use them internally.

A small conveyor belt that's used to teach engineering students how they work. I'm on my phone and the pics are on one of my PC hard drives. It's a simple design made of 6061 aluminum; is about 2' long, 8" wide, 8" tall, and required about 42-48 screws (by far the most of any project).

I forgot entirely that I intended to plumb the thing in a unique way. I put it together because I was too excited. I've talked to someone who worked with cnc mills though, they made it sound like using a cnc mill for any of this was a bad idea. I believe it was because the acrylic would get too hot

>>690758792
The guy I built it for is supposed to be doing a spoof product review video for it. I'll post it if he finishes it.
>>690760668
is that how you justify not making thing?
>>690760668
You don't understand the point of DIY. Custom acrylic aquariums are ridiculously overpriced, plus, I like the challenge and learning new skills.
>>690760105
Are you intentionally making it sound like video game environmental music? Needs some serious work, lots of points in there where you can tell you're basically just playing with different effects for a 4 count
>>690758659
The first channel is "foreplay" by the way. the knobs/switches are moan (tone), intensity (volume), titties/ass (fat/thin), and the gain on each channel is called lick, grind, and thrust, from left to right.

>Are you intentionally making it sound like video game environmental music?
Yes, actually.
>>690760813
If I can buy it for cheaper and use less effort. It's rather more common sense than any sort of justification.
>>690760771
Where you'll post it?
>>690760893
Where are you that they're overpriced? I live in San Diego and got a custom 35 gal round-edged acrylic and custom sump for under 200 bucks. I had to build the stand myself like you did, but that part was easy. Granted, hobby aquariums are still really popular here and that means there's lots of competition and lots of people that can make tanks.
>>690760893
>you don't understand
Obviously since I don't work at McDonald's I can afford to get acrylic cut the way I need from my local lowes.
A good relationship with my best friend.
>>690761173
Indiana. A tank like mine (around 40 gallons) along with the overflow box would cost about 500+ from a more popular online store. I've spent a fraction of that so far.
>>690760114
I had to laugh. Have't seen 50 in 13 years my friend and yes, on 4chan. Some funny shit in here.
>>690760770
If you can find someone with a machine big enough to handle your part and the part doesn't crack from the vibration sure. Normally I cut flat sheets with a waste board underneath. The trick is balancing the cutting speed and RPM to avoid heat that will melt the acrylic. Using an acrylic friendly cutting fluid to disperse some of the heat will help too, even just an air blower (which is all I use) works.
>>690761312
I'm glad for you. He looks like a nice guy.
>>690761064
You sound like a happy person
>>690761312
>when your best friend is your mom
>>690761255
Lowes doesn't cut acrylic, and even if they did, do you trust that person to do that? You're building an aquarium...the cuts need to be precise. The strength and integrity of the acrylic needs to be preserved during the cutting process, or it's going to craze after a few years, and split.

this
>>690761412
ah, yeah I've heard that hobby aquarium builders can have it pretty hard in middle america and other various landlocked states. The fact that you're building a sump makes me think you're doing a marine setup, am I correct?
>>690761543
Yes they do, I've been working in a sheet metal fabrication shop since I was 16 (22 now) frequently have to go to get misc pieces cut for odd projects.
And considering it's their job, if they fuck it up they have to do it until it's right so not really a matter of trust because it will be right eventually.
>>690761779
Cell cast acrylic. Aquariums need a very specific type. Lowes may cut the cheap stuff they sell in their store, but they won't cut cell cast. Trust me, I've asked.
>>690756138
Who are you trying to kid, literally nobody uses a jigsaw correctly more than twice in their life span.
>>690754680
Jigsaw with a fine tooth blade meant for metal on low speed. Use a guide if the cuts are long and/or critical. 600 to 800 wet sandpaper to finish, and if you are fancy, flame the edges.
Silly question... why do you need to cut straight lines on the back of a tank?
>>690761779
Hey I'm not the guy you were talking to, but both lowes and home depot here in san diego wont cut acrylic for you, so it's possible that the other gentleman doesn't get that kind of service in Indiana either. On top of that, at 22 if you think you have the experience to tell someone what they should be doing, you need a slap upside the head and a reality check.
>>690761774
Nope, high tech planted tank. I am anal about equipment being in the display tank, the sump is there to house all the equipment, plus I'm trying out the fluidized k3 noodle filtration method.

>>690755797
I know a thing or two about aquariums, and this is a bad idea. The long cuts along the side weaken the structure, and you don't want that. It also has to have a catch basin to direct the water to the sump, which probably will be PVC pipe or maybe vinyl tubing.
Save yourself the headache and make a round hole on the back, fit a bulkhead and plumb from there to the sump, and put a 90 degree fitting inside, trimmed to the level you want the water at.
Problem solved, acrylic tank not wrecked, no need for long straight cuts in the tank.
>>690761953
Coast to coast overflow. There will be an overflow box attached to the back of the tank, those lines will be the exit point where the tank water leaves the tank, and goes to the sump to be filtered.

>>690762006
So because I'm 22 and probably make more than you do I need a slap in the head? Solid logic there
>>690762084
Awesome, man. Fluidized filters are really cool, I used a DIY one for years in my planted tank. My planted tank is a vertical column freshwater tropical 28 gal with an emphasis on river emulation, so I have a lot of flow on one side and 2 or three dead zones. I don't use a sump for that one because I hid my equipment behind large wood display pieces and plants.
My marine tank is the giant asshole with the sump though, I actually just swapped out an entire tray for K1 filter media the other day and I'm watching it like a hawk because I had to do a full pull of the tray and couldn't leave any of original pieces of media in there to promote healthy bacteria growth again. I'm scared for my LPS lol.
>>690762275
I was concerned about bowing too. I was thinking that since I would be chemically welding the overflow box basically around the cuts, the overflow box welds (overflow box is made of the same thickness of the tank acrylic) would end up serving as bracing itself. I was going to do a beananimal overflow system.

It definitely looks cheap.. What do you plan on having in such a small tank? I build my 4ftx3x3 tank with overflow and sump setup for under 500$, all with glass instead of cheap acrylic too
>>690762701
I heard fluidized filters are super noisy though. Is that your experience? I did the hiding thing too, but there are still cords coming out of the tank that you just can't hide that well.

You need to cool with water when cutting in acrylic. Then the cut will be glass-clear. Good luck.

Shuttup, you are starting to annoy me. I've worked with CnC mills, and you can control the speed of the bit to adapt to the material.

boyo, I'm an ME that passed the PE exam 2 years ago, I GUARANTEE you don't make more than me (also it's the internet, so that's completely irrelevant). Fabrication was like.....my first year of college. Anything you can do in your shop I can do with my eyes closed.
The reason you need a slap upside the head is because you're 22 and think you know better about a hobby you not only don't partake in, but the other person has devoted hours to literally crafting with their own hands. That would be like a software engineer coming into your workshop and telling you how to bend and route conduit.
In short, you're a moron, but we already knew that with the whole, "I'm 22 and you're doing it wrong" thing.

"so far", and so far, no water, no fish, no tank. So, basically, dead money.
Besides, a 500 plus acrylic tank would be at least 75 gal, and would be drilled to plumb. Google is your friend.

>>690762975
yeah they can be a little noisy, though no more so than having a small air pump constantly running. The rattling from the media bouncing around can get a little annoying if it's housed in something with thin walls our your sump cabinet doesn't have doors, but it honestly never bothered me. In my experience, protein skimmers are the noisy assholes of the aquarium world.
Then again my protein skimmer was basically a DIY fluidized filter with a DIY skimmer atop...

Acrylic will craze regardless. Acrylic doesn't split. You don't need super precision to make a tank, 1/32" will do.

That's what I used to cut my overflow box. I don't know of a laser cutter that can handle the assembled tank, though. That would be my preferred method if I could find one that can handle the full tank.
>>690765535
When people ask you to make one for them, that's when you could probably start a business from it. Keep that in mind.
>>690765568
Prove it.
this suit of armor, its made out of recycled street signs
>>690765796
Im not certain but i feel as if its different for crossbow and regular bow. Yeah people take down dear with a 45lb bow.
I built this
#America
>>690751246
Not all by myself.. But most definitely the coolest shit I have been building
>>690766171
Well I eventually was going to make a video about it, that will have to wait till after vacation.
in addition to the street sign armor I also made clouds buster sword (the masamune on the right was bought off the internet)
>>690766180
Holy shit, what are you protecting, your virginity?

>>690761035
awesome! You made my day! You had a great idea keep doing this kind of stuff it's amazing!
>>690766405
Holy shit what are you protecting your inability to make something as cool?
>>690766464
A video as in something for a class, im studying greek history at uni

Make sure your frames are in pretty good condition before you buy, you can waste a lot of time having to fix frames, time is money you don't get back. Try to keep padding as intact as possible. That way you can reuse a lot of stuff. If you find that the urethane foam in what you have has lost support, instead of replacing, you can quite often steam it back to life. Purchasing a decent garment steamer (even a portable one) can save you money down the line because you buy less foam. You can buy fabric cheap when you buy ends of rolls. Last few yards on a roll aren't worth much to a fabric stores because people want to do larger jobs, often 3 or 4 yards is enough to do an armchair, more if it has loose cushions etc. Good luck anon.

I made a custom butter knife.
>>690764880
Thanks, yep. Stuff sells for thousands more than you'd expect, has to be top notch.

Ugh, I wish I wasn't totally morally opposed to that otherwise I would. Dumb rich hipsters will pay hundreds of dollars for battle jackets, studded vests, ect. All of which can be made for maybe $30. But I refuse to add to that. Thr whole point of D.I.Y. is realizing that we are more capable than we realize.
>>690765535
>beleive it or not women approach me and ask me about it.
<- women like these, I bet
>>690766180
Pretty cool, anon!
>>690760114
Theres some old motherfuckers on this site be ware
>>690766991
Implying alt girls haven't always like this stuff. Also it's the 90's all over again, alternative culture is somewhat socially acceptable in fashion again, meaning plenty of women now want this stuff and are have a much lowered social stigma of interacting with people who are a part of it.

jet fuel blows up steel beams
>>690761035
What motor are you using? Top speed?
>>690754680
why would you build one so small? I have a home made tank, but it's bigger than what you can buy at the store.
>>690766405
Come on man that's pretty rude.
Just did myself a bong out of a jack bottle. Pretty nice, cheap, quick and easy project
>>690768185
prototype. I intend to build a bigger one, but wanted to get familiarized with the process, and any possible issues before I have a 250 gallon + tsunami accident in my living room
>>690768549
250 is too small. You'll kick yourself for not going bigger, especially if you want some dumb shit like sharks
>>690766804
What i have isnt foam based. Its old shredded material and shit. The frames are good and sturdy, just damage to the legs which I can replace. I've got a steamer I use, its just getting the fabric to look neat on the furniture that I find hard. I'm not the best at sewing and I have no idea with trims. But I'll eventually get there.
>>690769087
Buy a hot glue gun for the trims and gimp etc. Watch a lot of YouTube upholstery videos. You'll get better with time.
>>690757995
That's pretty cool man. how long take you building this also any advice on bulding one ?
>>690766180
Nigga where's your left arm?

>>690760105
Complete shit. Keep working at it
for those asking where the left arm is on the street sign armor, im holding a small shield, and my hand is behind the shield
>>690769579
If you're sewing thin fabrics that bunch, applying 1/2 masking tape to edge of the fabric will keep it flat and make things a little easier. Practise makes perfect though, that's the reality.
>>690761601
No shit, tgtbt, post more pls
MAde a little "pop pop" boat out of a can of pepsi and a carton of orange juice.
saw the movie Ponyo and i had to make one right after i saw one in the film. Caught my imagination.
used a little tea candle to make it move.
>>690764163
That's sweet dude I work at a high quality shop in Baltimore, we've done stuff from adult baby seats to stripper bars
Made a load of homemade tasers when I was younger
a botnet
>>690771426
Sweet. I've done stuff for restaurants and bars etc too. Prefer not to. Tight timelines and uptight customers. You know about that shit I guess?
>>690757995
I used to be a carpenter and I have plenty of electrical skills (and coding skills), I wonder if I could make and sell these...
>>690772157
Its funny, over here in the city resturants are easier since its usually booths or upholstered wall panels, easy as hell to do. Rich customers are nice because I get to see where they live. Id love to see some more funky stuff tho
>>690771870
how does one go about that?
>>690772528
it takes 30-1hr to make these, selling them would be moronic
>>690771870
prove that it works with a video
>>690759165
you're on a Chinese hentai website, you flaming fucker
>>690773480
It would be pretty difficult to do now since it's made out of a disposable cameras flash circuit and they're basically obsolete now, all you really need is a small charging circuit for a capacitor and a capacitor which would be pretty cheap
>>690773963
Why would it be moronic? People will buy the most ridiculous shit. You think Joe Shmoe is going to know how to wire it up, have the tools to cut the materials and so on?
Fuck you're so retarded I'm lost for words. It takes 1 minute to peel an orange and chop an apple, but people buy pre-cut fruit. It takes me 1 hour to make a Wordpress website that I then sell £300 - why? Because people are stupid and don't have the skills.
Not as stupid as you though.
>>690773402
I think people are probably more laid back and nicer there... here it's a bunch of pretentious pricks who want everything done before opening the next morning.
>>690774422
I mean, they still sell them at the local CVS in my town. So do I just hollow it out then put those two together and add wires coming out of them?
>>690774528
>how to wire it up
https://www.ultimarc.com/ipac1.html
its not wired in the traditional sense, regardless, they sell these built on ebay and no one buys them, they make them out of xbox controllers way the fuck before paying the 300 necessary to make even 100$ of profit

I like this build. May I save this image?
My day at the dino
almost done with this
>>690776028
Not as many as you'd think. Mostly uptight blonde female designers handling shit. Owners can definitely be a little stereotypical.
a whole website where people can anomaly discus about different topics but i got bored and sold it to a gook
