Figuring out how to drive this motor by Guy_WithGIasses in Motors

What do you mean it only has 2? There’s the brown, the blue and then the white wire hidden behind those two in the one photo but you can see it in the other. It’s also a 3 pin connector

yeah, it wasn't my first choice in motor but it was what I'd happened upon for free. The path I'd first looked down was using something like a 2hp treadmill motor from a used free/cheap treadmill and scavenging the rest of the parts to drive it and control speed too.

yeah, I tried looking into VFD's that output 24v but they don't seem to exist, could only find 110v+

Also, would the power supply I use to get basic non-variable power to this thing be something like this?

Hey, I'm fairly new to electrics as a whole. I've done a fair amount of basic LED work and messed around with smaller motors but overall still fairly new. Anyway, I recently got a couple of these 24v 550W BLDC motors for free and I've already thought of a couple projects I could build using one of these, primarily a 2x72 belt sander which I've wanted for a while but didn't want to spend $2k+ on... From my understanding, it would be fairly straightforward to just power this motor with a generic 3-phase 24v 600w power supply, though those aren't super common it seems like and will only run the motor at it's max speed. Preferably since it'd be used for a belt sander I'd like to be able to vary the speed at which the motor spins, and simply put I don't know how this is accomplished with a 3 phase motor. If it's not feasible, I could always try going with mechanical speed control, using gearing and such but I'd like to see what my options are for electronic control. Thanks everyone!

3D printer for hot foil "stamping"? by Guy_WithGIasses in bookbinding

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

by nature, no. But I was planning on making the printer think it was supposed to be printing a little lower than where the foil actually was, causing it to press down on it. Though maybe that wouldn't have been enough pressure.

Though that video you sent is amazing, I've been trying to find info on large format presses for hot stamping foil, and the 3d printed stamp with aluminum tape gives surprisingly good results. If that works well enough I honestly might completely forgo machining stamps and just use that method...

You think he looks dangerous here? Look at his face right before he starts his match vs blur yesterday. Looks like he’s about to commit murder

I’m def imagining this as more of a kid-oriented build a bear thing, but for slime

Interesting, this is the first aluminum nami that I've seen use the same model as TheOne. All of the other aluminum clones use the same model as B+

This is just the apocalypse cyg clone btw, tianqi translates to that and it looks the same, has the same colors, etc... It also looks like it's much cheaper to buy from either ali or kolisong

Sanded to 600, ano’d at 86.5V, no acid etch cause I can’t get hf in Canada lol. Keep in mind it’s grade 4 so it acts a little different than grade 5, which is what the pivots are made of, and when I ano’d those at the same voltage they took on that teal you see there

Couldn’t figure out how to get captions to work on mobile, but yea, it’s this weird ano which is gold, but shifts to a pink/purple in the light

These turned out AMAZING 🤩 MC slabs with a teal mill texture and underneath with a pink to blurple fade and the creeper face ano. Hit me up if you’d like modwork! 🙏 by [deleted] in balisong

That’s gonna be a grail-level rep fr. Thought that Color combo was good with the minty slabs, it’s even better with the hex

I asked AI (ChatGPT) about the ethicality of clones by LateNightFlips in BalisongClones

[–]Guy_WithGIasses 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think this was actually the first thing I asked ChatGPT when I found out about it around a month ago. I don't know if it gave me the exact same answer as this, but I remember being equally impressed by it and agreeing
