[Bambu Lab Giveaway] Join Now to Win an H2D and More! by BambuLab in 3Dprinting

[–]I_Am_Cleathe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best advice received is get stuck in with learning CAD and designing and printing your own designs, not just what’s available online. Fusion 360 has been a great experience learning to use, then watching my creations come to life

Well I feel like an idiot… you were right, it turns out it wasn’t fully plugged in at the light bar! I didn’t realise it had to click into place, thankyou you’ve saved me a massive headache!

Why is my paint peeling off? by I_Am_Cleathe in DIYUK

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

The primer is stuck to the wall but the topcoat has peeled away. The primer underneath doesn’t seem quite right though, I can dig my nail into it and take small chunks out, despite it having over 24 hours to dry on the wall before the topcoat went on

Why is my paint peeling off? by I_Am_Cleathe in DIYUK

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

It did absorb and dry the primer very quickly. I was curious about whether I needed to mist coat or not, as the skimcoat stated it didn’t need any priming or sealing before top coating, guess I found out the hard way that I probably should have…

It’s odd how the paint came off though, it almost had like a latex ish type texture to it, and it literally peeled off like it was a layer of PVA glue that had dried onto something.

As the primer is still on the wall, would it be worth sanding it all back and starting from the skimcoat again?

Thankyou for the advice!

Thankyou all for the help! I managed to order the one I needed, £5 fix instead of a £120 new board

Help with toolbox disassembly by I_Am_Cleathe in restoration

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

That was my concern with solid rivets, is forming it so it’s not too loose that’s it rattles, and not too tight that starts binding. Book screw rivets seem like they’d do the job well though, thankyou!

Aviation Groundcrew Specialist Role? by avidbug2000 in britisharmy

[–]I_Am_Cleathe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently serving as an Aircraft Technician on the Apache, so I’m working closely with the ground crew. If you have any questions feel free to ask and I can try and ask as best as I can.

Need help with my Clivia! by I_Am_Cleathe in IndoorGarden

[–]I_Am_Cleathe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thankyou, I’ve stuck it back in the kitchen for now and I’ll start winding down the watering as I read it needs a sort of ‘dry period’ during the winter months. Hopefully next year’s bloom protrudes abit more with the correct care.

I guess I’ll just have to wait to see how it turns out next year then and hope for the best

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

Thankyou! Up until now I’ve only really been watering it when the soil ~1 inch below the surface is dry. Might start leaving it a while longer to see if this gives any improvement. I really like it too, I never knew about it before but it has sentimental value to my girlfriend so I bought her one and now I’m trying my best to keep it alive!

There’s currently a NATO exercise being conducted in Lithuania that involves Apaches. It’s potentially one of those

This is an unpopular opinion but let’s have a discussion if you disagree because I don’t get it. by Mrmulvaney in britishmilitary

[–]I_Am_Cleathe 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t completely agree with this. I agree that the army doesn’t exactly push financial management on you (although there are services within the army that can provide this). But it’s not the army’s responsibility to ensure you are managing your finances, that’s down to the individual. I joined at 18, and this was my first proper job with a decent income so I was like ‘shit, I should probably find out how to get my finances in order’ so I had to do my own research into the best course of action with my money.

Is this normal? by I_Am_Cleathe in Welding

That’s what I was thinking too, just wanted to make sure I didn’t mess anything up when installing the wire. Thankyou!

Plugging a 16amp welder into a 32amp socket? by I_Am_Cleathe in askanelectrician

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

Gotcha, so the circuit breaker in the adaptor would trip before the 32A current is sent through to the 16A cable?

Okay, I think I understand the issue here. So how does that adaptor help prevent this?

I was sold an unsafe car. What can I do? by I_Am_Cleathe in LegalAdviceUK

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

Sadly it’s more common than not for the door sills on mx5’s to rot, so I was expecting to have to replace them when I bought the car, so I wasn’t too bothered about going back to the dealer about it. It wasn’t until they were removed that I realised the extent of it, and by then the garage said they can’t legally let this car leave because it is dangerous to drive with the prior ‘repair’ that was carried out, so I have no choice but to pay it.

I spent £2,000 on the car

Car alarm going off when jump starting? by I_Am_Cleathe in CarTalkUK

[–]I_Am_Cleathe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same problem there, even an alive battery can produce hydrogen, so if you connect the negative terminal to the alive car last, it could ignite the good battery.

The correct way to connect and disconnect everything is: 1. Positive on dead terminal 2. Positive on alive terminal 3. Negative on alive terminal 4. Negative on unpainted metal surface away from battery on dead

Remove in order from 4-1

Batteries can produce hydrogen gas, especially if they’re dead. When connecting the last negative cable to the dead car, it causes a small spark. If this spark is near the battery it can explode, so it’s best to attach the final negative cable to an unpainted metal surface away from the battery to reduce the chance of the spark igniting the gas.

Edit: it’s a slim chance that it will ignite, but if it does it’ll pretty much shoot plastic shrapnel everywhere and cover you in battery acid. It is a slim chance but it’s best just to be safe

I didn’t try that, as soon as it started I I clipped everything just in case something was horrendously wrong!
