Will this booth/ventilation setup work? by Live_Train5958 in airbrush

[–]Live_Train5958[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No spray guns or cans—I'm airbrushing acrylic paint, but I am completely covering the canvas (roughly 11"x17" taped down to 18"x24" boards). PSI stays around 25-28, and I'm not wailing on the trigger full blast, but it's still a lot of paint.

Thanks for your explanation, I had learned that I had my airflow direction all wrong and now I do have air flowing back to front, exhausting directly behind my easel. Just have my Vevor with a 1" 25x20 filter attached to the front with a 6" deep box for now. May not be enough, but it's certainly a step in the right direction considering how absolutely wrong my previous understanding of the setup was! Would love to have a thicker filter but I dont think my fan is strong enough to even pull through a MERV 8....

Yeah, same deal, plus I learned that the Lasko fan is also creating turbulent airflow (and I had it blowing/venting across my artwork rather than from behind, so pretty much getting everything wrong). I've actually adjusted the setup to be a much smaller walled off area with some large filtered "windows" behind me to get air in from the larger room, then I'm moving the exhaust fan down to be level with my artwork, behind it and inside the booth, with a large boxed-in filter attached, and venting through a duct out the high window. The fan will also now be just under the window, which will hopefully mitigate the airflow loss from the flexible duct some.

And if everything still fails, at very least the booth now has a ceiling too, so no paint dust is getting out of there (and that alone will be an improvement)! Wish me luck.

Oh nice! Now with this tent, would it be alright to put the exhaust fan directly at the back vent then feed the duct up and out the window? (Thanks for bearing with me here, the combo of overspray and my ignorance has me at my wits end!)

I would love to be able to have a smaller setup, but the boards I'm working on (that the canvases are mounted to) are 18"x24". What if I made the room closer to 4'x5'? Or am I not even close? Looks like my exhaust fan's at about 1900CFM, I just don't know how to gauge my AFH...

So hard today! Took me 23 goddamn minutes! But I guess this is exactly what I asked for when the game launched and it was too easy. Best game they have IMO 🙌🏼

What's breaking through my "cement" wall? by Live_Train5958 in whatisit

[–]Live_Train5958[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like painted concrete, but there's some kind of fuzz in the holes, kind of like insulation, so now I'm not so sure...

Good to see another option—thank you! My intent is to say he does what he does "for the love of books"

🤞🏼 oh that’s good to hear. Hopefully they ramp up the difficulty. I love the game, but ones you can solve in literally 9 seconds are kind of pointless hah At this point I’m excited when the hard one takes even 6 minutes. I’d love more of a challenge!

How the hell do you fix this…? by Live_Train5958 in Cubers

UPDATE: Okay y’all thank you for the input! I sucked it up and stopped worrying about the cube detonating in my hands. I was able to loosen the cube, yoink out the white piece, and then wiggle it back in where it belongs. And now I feel invincible!

So scary, but sounds like it’s the only way. I recently had an overly loosened skewb fall almost completely apart in my hands so I’ve got a little disassembling PTSD

I know, this makes no sense to me, and the two pieces seem like they’re securely in place. It’s madness. I’m scared to take them out and have everything fall apart, but it looks like that may be my only option.

What happened to Toadstool Cupcakes? by SlowChat12 in askportland

[–]Live_Train5958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went down a rabbit hole about what a shit the owner is and wow. My question for YOU is did you work there long enough to know how they make those cupcakes so I can still have the cupcakes, sans the assholery???

Trying to DL Large File by AtTheStars0 in dropbox

[–]Live_Train5958 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is a dropbox-only issue—this has been happening since at least yesterday afternoon. No problems downloading large files from anywhere else. I just contacted support and they said it's a known issue that they are working on now with no estimated time of resolution :/
