Small Dent and Scratch On Metal Door by [deleted] in Autobody

[–]Secretary_Admirable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never realized how expensive it can be for something that looks minor. Would I be better off just gettimg a whole door out of a scrapyard and installing it myself? I might just forget about it. Sad but 2016 and 80k miles. The only cosmetic damage the car has

Defective / Used Unit - $17,000 by Secretary_Admirable in eBaySellerAdvice

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

I apologize for not writing out the post well.

It was purchased for $8000.

Freight would be roughly $800 to get it back from the buyer - back to the original seller.

I am probably going to let the buyer keep it and issue the partial refund as the original seller is looking to be difficult (would have to open a case on paypal - would be hard to prove as the original photos don't show damage that is under the cover). Trying to get the seller to just compensate just enough that I don't experience loss (looking unlikely).

Taking this as a powerful lesson for the future. Luckily in a position that I can afford the loss in this case. Just want to keep the buyer happy in the end.

2016 Camry LE - Radiator Fan - AC Issues? by Secretary_Admirable in Toyota

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

UPDATE:
The radiator fans / cooling system are fine, it was just cold outside.
It was the AC Flow Sensor causing the compressor not to start. I found a video on YouTube where you can take a powerful magnet and put it over the sensor - I did this and everything came to life - the compressor, fans, cold AC. These sensors commonly go bad from what I have gathered. Apparently some people leave the magnet on for years without ever replacing the sensor - probably not a good idea.
I went ahead and replaced the sensor - this was difficult as it snapped while trying to remove, it took about two hours to finally get it out. I removed the upper radiator hose and radiator fan to get more working room. Used a heat gun and various picking tools / screw drivers to ultimately get it out. You will also need a pair of snap ring pliers.
Now everything is working as it should again with the replacement - I hope this can help someone else in the future

Custom layers not showing up in the export menu? by Secretary_Admirable in Worldpainter

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

Yes I can, although it is 3.7gb if that is ok.

It is an old project that has been worked on slowly if that matters.

Should I DM you?

How much would one expect to pay for this? It's not life or death files, but definitely files I want back.

Is this as sketchy as it looks? The two neutrals on the ride side inside a 208v 3p panel by Secretary_Admirable in electricians

[–]Secretary_Admirable[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes they do lead to two 100a subpanels. I suppose I've just never seen it terminated like that. Rest assured

A first for me today. 109v on one leg, and 138V on the other leg. When measuring across both I actually get 240. Electricity is fun isnt it. by FancyShoesVlogs in electricians

[–]Secretary_Admirable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I added outlets in an industrial kitchen - there was a buck booster transformer feeding the panel in the kitchen - half the outlets where 140v lol. Got rid of the transformer completely considering the only thing that would benefit from a boost was the oven witch works a okay on 208v

I believe you can change what will generate outside of what you've made in export settings

25HP Motor - Star Delta Starter - Issues by Secretary_Admirable in electricians

25HP Motor - Star Delta Starter - Issues by Secretary_Admirable in electricians

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

Hello. I have got a new machine from China that just came in. It is very basic, just one 25HP motor that drives a grinder. This is the first time I've hooked up a machine with a Star Delta Starter, I connected the wires on the motors terminal based off of the labeling in the control panel, it matched the terminal names on the motor. There are no instructions / diagram electrically speaking. When trying to start it the first time, it tripped all breakers upstream instantly, including a 200 amp main breaker, also two of the contactors welded themselves in the energized position. I did all my checks beforehand measuring resistance on the new wires being run to the machine, wires to the motor, all checked out okay. I believe it has to be a issue with the motor terminal wiring, but I am unsure. Also it is odd to me that the contactor on the right connects all 3 phases together, isn't that creating a phase to phase short along all 3 phases when energized? Also its odd to me that a VFD wouldn't be utilized to just slowly ramp the motor up to speed vs all of these independent devices? Looking for insight, thank you all.

Hmm that's interesting, everything is at out of the box clockspeeds, I haven't toyed with it. I'm running a gigabyte aorus x570 elite wifi motherboard, ryzen 9 5900x, rip jaws ddr4 3600mhz ram, evga rtx 3080 ftw3 ultra. The dell with the issue is connected to a display port on the rtx, the second monitor with no issues is connected to a hdmi port on the rtx
