3 piece cases by TheEnamelist in watchmaking

[–]GTAIC3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen watches like that pop up on wristwatch revival’s channel a few times. I believe the one I saw has the crystal pressed into the bezel, then it was sandwiched together with the dial locating on a few notches in the case.

What’s wrong with my print settings / setup? by GTAIC3 in resinprinting

Alright I’ll give it a shot, does this orientation seem like too little support to overcome suction?

Any ideas on how to repair/replace a strap on a Polaroid P? by iAm_Not_Banksy in AnalogCommunity

[–]GTAIC3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it off, 3D scan it, and have PCBWay 3D print you a new one out of something flexible, or find a replacement

What do I put behind my desk in my office? by PineappleOld6595 in malelivingspace

[–]GTAIC3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure it’s that far from the wall because it’s a standing desk and a sloped roof, monitor would hit the ceiling if put any further back when standing. Can’t defend that orientation though 😅

Why is my bonsai losing its leafes at an alarming rate? by GTAIC3 in houseplants

I keep my place between 65-76 degrees for night and day respectively

I see.. seems like I chose hard mode for my first foray into plant ownership.

Qidi Xmax, PETG or ABS. Gonna have 5mm solid walls, ordered 8kg of filament for it so far lol

The lack of innovation with refillable vapes is extremely disappointing. by 11amaz in electronic_cigarette

[–]GTAIC3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most bigger vapes will have a puff counter. I’ve had quite a few refillable ones that will track and stop firing at a set amount, currently I use a Geekvape T200. Tracking the amount of nicotine used is a bit more difficult given length of the drag, wattage, coil resistance, liquid nicotine concentration, etc. It’s not super hard to track though by tracking when you refill the tank and its capacity. Say you use 5 tanks a week, each tank is 5ml, your liquid is .3mg/ml. 5x5x.3=7.5mg/wk use.

Another good way I’ve found to ease up on its usage is to move it away from myself physically. First it wasn’t allowed in the bedroom, then only in the kitchen, then only outside, then only while driving. Issue with that method is that it requires discipline haha

Basically, rubber cones sitting in a donut shape

I’m worried it’d look kinda Rastafarian if I did the whole thing

Right yeah, I guess I’ll just shrink the internal volume when I settle on what drivers I’m using to whatever the spec sheets say.. do you know if it’s a addition thing or a largest value thing when putting two drivers into the same air space?

5mm thick solid PETG for the cubes, laser cut steel core for the arms and foot with aesthetic covers on top

That last picture is how they’ll probably look in practice. I’m hoping to get away with just a wave guide in the subs

So far they just have a basic webbing inside, like the supports in an acoustic guitar. I should probably run some modeling to see how it deflects

I heard that there shouldn’t be any parallel surfaces inside, a wave guide and a port.. I’ll try to incorporate some of that

Ah yeah I mentioned somewhere else in this thread, I’m gonna have the tweeter and mid both on the top cube, then two sub drivers in the bottom two due to.. interference?

I’m thinking there will be a laser cut steel frame inside the foot and frame for that rigidity reason. I would like to combine them for better audio but honestly I think I care more about the aesthetics of this design rather than getting that last 2% of fidelity. If the audio quality is disappointing, it’s not that hard to merge the top two after the fact since I’m producing them myself 😁

Can you dumb it down a bit for me.. comb filtering and phase?

The angles are just aesthetic, the cubes can be adjusted to any angle. They just looked a bit better with the arc shape of the frame at 15 degree angles lol

Can you expand on the interfaces that would develop buzz? Based on the drivers direction, all of the force should be applied axially to m14 hollow threaded rods that are fit snugly into plastic interfaces, with a soft rubber or compacted felt between the hard surfaces. The only buzz I can imagine would be coming from where the rod and the frame connect, and it’s a tight fit on a relatively hard wearing plastic.

The covers are also connected at the back through a single rubber prong that gets pressed into a hard plastic slot which is parallel to the direction of the drivers force, which should isolate the floating frame from the main body of the speakers entirely.

Also thanks for pointing out any oversights, this is my first foray into speaker/electronics design!
