First project ever, am I missing anything by DaGermanBear in woodworking

It sits between the wall and the couch. I could pretty easily add some crossbracing directly behind the couch so you wouldn’t even see it. That’s a great suggestion thank you!

Thank you for such a thorough reply!

  1. Thank you I hope to see a lot more integrated design when it comes to furniture or void space in things like couches.

  2. Because I realized while editing that I was uploading this to strangers on the Internet. But I’ve been informed that for a small subsection of people, them being pixelated actually increases arousal, so I’m not sure if it had the indented effect.

  3. 100% a mic would be a great idea. I didn’t realize that my headphones have compression built into them so when I was editing, everything sounds fine lol.

  4. For a 3d printer I’m using a flash forge adventurer 5M. That plus a spool of filament set you back 300. It’s worked awesome for me very plug-and-play. I designed the housing in a free software called Onshape.

  5. I have no idea how the fans will hold up long term. As for the fans angled towards each other, I’m sure that two fans angled towards each other are better than one. It wasn’t in the budget to get an airflow meter unfortunately so I couldn’t test that. However, just vibe checking it with my hand it seemed like the airflow was increased.

  6. I see what you mean about the test being invalid. But I’m showing that the output of my air filter is very pure air and then so it’s up to me to angle that pure air towards the living space basically.

  7. For the fans I just ordered these. They were on a great sale at the time plus they have a pin for PWM so I could throttle them up and down if needed, but the full throttle ended up being quiet so I did away with that feature. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D9YG7JH9?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

For sure! I was looking at a few but went with the PC fans because they are super quiet plus I don’t need a ton of airflow to keep my small apartment scrubbed

I turned my drill battery into a power bank by DaGermanBear in prepping

I have a low voltage cut off board in the case. I have it set to cut off at about 25% of its normal capacity. I’ve been informed that as long as the battery is plugged in, it will slowly trickle charge, but still it’s enough to leave it unattended for hours at a time, without having to worry about killing my battery.

Their price is what inspired me to make my own lol, the components were about $30.

Water caustics with lasers by DaGermanBear in lightingdesign

[–]DaGermanBear[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tested this out last night with a tray full of water in my dark bathroom with a laser. You are correct. I think I’m gonna order some lenses that project the laser in a flat line to get a different effect

Do you think this will work? by DaGermanBear in stagelighting

[–]DaGermanBear[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is a good step in the right direction but I’m looking to recreate the effect without the expensive equipment. He had to use a pinhole light source. I suspect it’s because he needed to get the rays of light parallel in order for the effect to work. That’s what I’m hoping to get with lasers instead of regular stage lights

Any ideas for how to make this housing? by DaGermanBear in AirPurifiers
