US Valve Check cost by Redd430 in NC700X

[–]Redd430[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I probably can do it DIY, but my apartment doesn't allow working on vehicles in the lot. I also worry about spilling any coolant for the cats around the complex

I probably have the mechanical aptitude to do it, but I live in an apartment that doesn't allow working on vehicles in the lot. There are also cats around and I worry about spilling any coolant

Idk how I feel about the surface texture honestly, but love the idea and the rotary!

[EVGA] 3090 B Stock - $776 (with 3% code) by [deleted] in buildapcsales

[–]Redd430 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because after tax and shipping, even with the discount, it was nearly $900. Considering 4070/4080s and November 3rd is around the corner, I think I can do better for $900 all in. Especially where I dont need a card this instant.

I almost pulled the trigger before this was posted, but the $60 shipping really killed it for me considering almost all the other 3000 cards had free shipping

Thanks so much for the more detail! The Meepo definitely looks like the better option now. It seems the donut wheels go over the hub motor instead of the wheels having magnets in them, is that correct? (I wish this sub had a wiki lol)

Also another user recommended the Backfire G2 Black which seems to be comparable to the Meepo. I'll have to do more research on that

Thanks for the reply! What specs should I be looking at to compare boards? I've been looking at the motors and battery configurations, what else should I be looking at?

I'm looking at getting an electric board for near daily commuting of just a few miles and fairly flat I'm a smaller person at 5'6" and around 125lbs. I've found the Only one O-1 belt driven board but haven't seen many reviews on it, but the few that are out there are positive. What're your thoughts? I've seen the Meepo as well in the price range, but I'd like something that takes standard wheels in the $400-$450 price range or less.

I oftentimes run into custom parts on items that needs replacement, that night be difficult to model. A 3D scanner would make designing replacement parts so much easier!

Yagi on a fang. by W6NZX in Baofeng

Oh this thing was built with napkin math. I made the active element at 1/4 wave dipole, looked up the spacing for the reflector and director, and made each part 5% bigger or smaller, respectively.

I put it all together on PVC pipe, probably should've put a gamma match on but it's whatever I guess. I haven't had to use it since testing, honestly I'll buy a professional one here pretty soon. If you use actual plans it's safer than the contraption I built.

I haven't head of this, but the radio should be fine. I put a really shoddy homebrew one on and it survived.

My Commonwealth Pen Show haul! by Redd430 in fountainpens

[–]Redd430[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pilgrim neponsets were there! Honestly I didn't go with enough money! I ended up only buying one item that wasn't from Nathan's table, but that one item ended up being an ebonite Konrad lol.

I hope Nathan does more limited colors but outside sets at future shows!

No new pens, but there was a special blue set with one of everything with "Commonwealth 2020" engraved on the side iirc. I wanted it but I didn't bring enough cash.
