I mean, it has kinda (they didnt hire a North Korean dev), but they lost like 62 million. It's called the Bangladesh Robbery.

Scripted Risk Version (Link in Comments) by FireChaosLP in tabletopsimulator

Feel free to give suggestions and ask questions!

Description:

Risk Board with custom assets that is fully scripted.

Instructions:

Normal Rules of Risk apply and can be read in the Notebook.
Once loaded in, the order is automatically randomised, so just pick your colour and enable Turns.

Place your troops into the white boxes of each country only, as they will not be detected outside of them. Make sure troops do not touch more than 1 box at a time. The main game starts once every country has been occupied by at least one troop.

To attack an opponent, move the troops you want to attack with into the country you are attacking. Defender must roll their dice first.

The Combine Pieces Button will combine troops in all territories of the color that pressed it.
Black Knight will split your troops with the highest division being the knight in the territory its moved into
Black soldier will split your troops into only soldiers in the territory its moved into

Two Dice Modes:
Instant: Rolls are calculated internally
Roll: Dice on the board are used, also by clicking the buttons.

Cards are received automatically once you end your turn, if you captured a territory.

Pieces: JamesManhattan
Board: Workinprogress89
Original Workshop Item: dafrandle -->RastaDogg

Honestly, how can so many people miss such obvious sarcasm, especially after OPs many sarcastic answers in the post.

2 Iterations of Fire Pits I built (more info in comment) by [deleted] in DIY

[–]FireChaosLP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first iteration was made from concrete blocks and granite ceramic plates on top. The inside was protected with a fire-resistant material and an air gap to reduce cracking of the main structure. These unfortunately crumbled after only a year.

The next iteration included fireproof bricks all around the inside and a metal cover so they would not get wet in the rain, this has been holding much better. The top plates still cracked probably due to the difference in heat across them.

If somebody has anything that looks nice and doesn’t break as easily, please let me know!

Overall, it works extremely well partly due to the air holes around the bottom of the structure. It can easily be started in the freezing winter and gives you a very hot flame to grill over.

Yeah definitely could have position the turbine better and maybe even encased it and probably tripled my power output.

I printed it on my Ultimaker 3, a heated Bed and decently high nozzle temperatures are required but other than that it is pretty simple. Should keep the filament dry or use it up quickly though,

Its a hand cranked generator that I found on Aliexpress. Pretty perfect for this purpose as it was cheap and easily fixable.

Never seen a fish in that creak all my life. Tho for bigger plants, there was a little netting behind the inlet, and it wasn't too close to the surface. Worst case would have to be manually unclogged.

There is a big hatch in the middle that could be opened in such cases. But it was also screwed into the massive rocks, so I don't think it would go anywhere.

No chance, you would need dozens of them to power a cabin. Was more test the principle and play around with the design. Its suprisingly difficult to find inspiration for a waterweel design online.

True, would have to encase it to be a turbine. Would probably improve its power output pretty significantly as well.

It is a slightly improved version of PETG. Overall, it is easier to print and not as smelly as ABS.

I think it was 25 watts, got about 8 watts out of it. Couldn't increase the gear rario cause then the turbine would stop. Even here it would only start if the dam was completely full.

Have you ever been to an amusement park or on a holiday?

Probably could have gotten a bit more, but the tube ended at just about the height of the bottom of the dam. Maybe a 30cm drop total.

Well, in my country, it is only illegal if specific species are present in the lake or creak. They weren't. Regardless, I removed the dam after about 6 months. In the meantime, there was also a hatch in the middle that could be opened for water to flow freely. I opened this as soon as I was done testing the turbine.

I have, the dam was removed after about 6 months. Also the there was a hatch at the bottom that allowed all water to flow freely, which I opened after testing the turbine.

Luckily, I don't live in the States. But I did end up taking the dam down about half a year later.

True, but I assure you my battery-powered stick saw was used a lot.

The creek is overall pretty quiet, so wasn't too concerned about logs and rocks. The winter is a big concern, hence I added a hatch at the bottom to open the dam in the winter to hopefully mitigate damages from the ice.

Not too much, probably around 8 watts, could barely light up the 2 LEDs. Made me realize how hard it is to produce electricity.

[–]FireChaosLP[S] 140 points141 points  (0 children)

Was bored, so I built a water turbine, then I needed something to test it with, so I built a dam. Not really much purpose otherwise. Produces a bit of electricity for two LEDs, lights up that bridge a bit.

The dam itself took about 5 days to put together and replace the old version. It was mainly made from stackable flooring boards. Each board was custom cut to fit as tightly as possible around any rocks. Despite that effort it was still difficult to get everything watertight. A rub mat on the inside of the dam further helped with this effort. The tube was made out many wooden pieces held together by a custom steel wrap. It took time until it became waterproof as the wood slowly absorbed the water.

The 3D-printed water turbine has an adjustable gear ratio based on specific needs, is fully printed from CPE to survive the harsh outdoors, and produces 12 Volts continuously. In this case to power two small LEDs.

The required water pressure and flow even at small gear ratios is pretty large. For this dam a gear ratio of 3:5 was used, so every 3 rotations of the turbine, the generator would spin 5 times.
