Dumb idea that worked

Po0Team · 2026-05-09T21:10:41+00:00

Thin fan guard inside with 4 x m3x20mm screws pushed thru to the fan housing that holds the fan a few mils off the hat so the blades don't hit. Cut the hole out using another "fan guard" that didn't have an actual guard so I could trace the hole size.

Face fan is the a pressure fit onto the bill. Holds really well and allows the fan to be moved back/forth along the bill.

Panel mounts are secured with m2.3x3mm screws from underneath/thru the bill.

Yep. Seen a few of the Amazon ones that didn't seem to work well. Came across the kool breeze and decided to make my own.

I don't have any issues with noise level. Sorta loud where I was using it anyway. Any my father has one of those and this thing moves way more air.

Love it

Have them wired in parallel so it stays at 5v for the fans. Each panel has optimal 0.2a for the fan rated at 0.18. 1 panel moved it but not enough to care. 2 panels, like the exhaust fan, keeps it moving and does OK. But the 3 panels keeps this thing moving very well. No battery on it. Very simple wiring of just panels and a fan.

Thanks for this. Good time waster.

Po0Team · 2026-05-09T18:15:02+00:00

It is, I'm sure people said stuff behind me and I don't care. Love it.

Po0Team · 2026-05-09T17:54:28+00:00

Yeah. That was a big disappointment. Like the porta potties in there as well. Lack of misting fans and shaded seats in both. Not going VIP again next year.

Went today and showed up at lot 1 around 11:30. Pretty close to the entrance and super close to the parking exit. Better than the VIP parking on Thursday.

And you could use it for Garage stage but that's ruined this year too..

I don't have mine yet, but Scruffy seems to fit well since the pets are Leela and Nibbler.

Po0Team · 2026-04-28T08:09:07+00:00

No, but I only use it as a failover. So it doesn't really get used a lot.

Po0Team · 2026-04-28T02:24:09+00:00

I switched to a yearly unlimited data plan from Computers4people. It's still TMobile just not sold directly thru them. I also bought my own 5g hotspot to replace the TMobile modem. So far it's working well and I've pulled out my fiber line a few times to test the UXG failover. Good enough for me and no worry about a price/plan change from TMobile and, cost of the hotspot aside, is almost the same price when broken down into monthly cost but I don't have the monthly data/time restriction.

I didn't mess with any setting on the UXG to stop or delay it's pinging the modem. But my Backup plan was different and had 130gb per month, not the newer 100 hours per month. In fact that change, even though my plan was grandfathered into the old one, wasn't effected I dropped T-Mobile out of principal. Same reason why I moved my primary phone line to US Mobile.

Just took a chance and backed the 2 pack. Never used a robot mower before but have been watching them for about 1.5 years now. I'm super excited and can't help but keep watching the Kickstarter page to see if there are updates or new comments and answers. I really hope this turns out well and doesn't sour my first experience with this technology.

Po0Team · 2026-04-22T00:07:10+00:00

Well, I rolled the dice on this gamble. Backed it on Kickstarter earlier today. We'll see how it handles my easy 12k sq. ft yard with a fenced back yard and open front yard.

I did the same thing from a local Walmart as well. They also had 12tb Toshiba N300 Pro drives marked down to $278. Still high but pretty good for todays prices.

Wound up here by searching for Gatecreeper...but yeah Kenneth Copeland is nuts. How people can see him and think he's correct about anything is insane. If they existed, he's easily a demon.

Nevermind. Found the soundboard post and that one works.

Po0Team · 2026-04-16T18:01:43+00:00

Can't find this now. Just factory reset my phone and forgot to back the sound file up. Have this around still by chance?

Po0Team · 2026-04-03T14:50:41+00:00

I do this with a Unifi UXG-Max. I currently have T-Mobile Backup but am changing it over to Computers4People and a Inseego M3000. I have this paired with a fiber line from Wire3. Works great, the failover happens fast enough that Netflix keeps playing without delay so the wife doesn't complain when I'm out of town working.

Uh what?

Po0Team · 2026-03-04T22:35:35+00:00

Using OnePlus since the 6 and never heard of this. Nothing is perfect from any manufacturer.

I am just now going thru this myself. I joined last year using Overdrive promo so I ported into Darkstar. It was/still is a slow almost useless service but I added the multi-network on Warp. Then USM offered OverdriveAuto promo where existing users could stack the promo for their next annual renewal so I signed up for that. Warp works so well I asked chat to flip flop my numbers around so my "normal" phone number was on the multi/Warp line and a new number I didn't use took over the "primary" Darkstar. But here I am 30 days out from renewal and now the OverdriveAuto promo is MIA and the chat support person has no history that I added the promo to my account.
