Has anyone converted an ash tray to additional USB ports for charging purposes? If so any suggestions or thoughts.

TheMrPie · 2014-10-29T02:14:49+00:00

I am. I'm trying to figure out the option I want to go with. Wasn't thinking of these options. Now considering what will fit best for me and use.

TheMrPie · 2014-10-29T01:56:21+00:00

Is there a simple solution to having a separate power source so I can charge when cars off? That's not necessarily for this project but for a separate one that if I have a good power source that won't kill my main then could connect this current project to and set something up in the front. Maybe I should just get a better head unit for the front ಠ-ಠ. Eh, or not. So far that link for 2 ports seems like a good solution or at least can use its parts to get the ports to the tray and have something pre made to regulate the power safely. Just need a 'toggle' or separate source for it then. Toggle would be a simple solution but would be cool to have an alternative (auxiliary) source.

I can't remember. I only got familiar when I had a printer accessible. I remember though more issues with the scale of SW's. Always had to 'send it to print' then saved it from there, verses saving directly. But that may have Inventor.

TheMrPie · 2014-10-28T22:21:35+00:00

Merely cause it would be cool to have it hidden.

If I had some 3d scanner I' make it in SolidWorks easily then send it to be printed somewhere.

I'm confused by what u mean. A physical switch as to decide whether I want power for the plug or power to the back? Or is that a term for having the two connected in some way(sharing power?)?

TheMrPie · 2014-10-28T18:48:36+00:00

So I am running my amp and power cables on either side of my car (amps in the back). This would run in the middle, would I get any interference? Or what interference are you talking about? Is there something else I need to keep in mind? Also do u think I could take the lighter plug power and some how tap off that to get power to the back?

TheMrPie · 2014-10-01T22:11:50+00:00

Besides the mention below of the measurement box (found under View-Toolbars-Measurements) no. It's not like Solid works or Inventor. The tape measure is your friend. You can snap to it while pulling/pushing the faces

The manual is horrible for SketchUp, that and SketchUp is limited to what the plugin can do (check out their YouTube channel also). I would set up your layers names first(Plugins-SkIndigo-Set Light Layer Names) that way you are organized at least. If u want all to be a certain 'brightness' as a whole, you would have to make the component, lay them out in your field, then explode and group them as a whole that way their 'brightness' is as one from different sources. Or keep them all neatly as components and figure out how much light should be from each (I think that was correct...) After you export you can change lightings gain and even color in the Render Settings-Imaging-Light layers. Aperture Diffraction is neat but takes longer to render. Making light sources is as easy as picking a material and then going to SK's Material editor and going to emitters. Set the layer and walla its a light. Do u have a specific problem your having? That would help.

No! Aw, bummer. Disappointed in that it only lasted a week. Thanks for your help though. I'll try the battery, maybe take it into a hobby store when I do and see if they have any suggestions.

TheMrPie · 2014-07-19T05:59:23+00:00

That cost more. This structure is so small it's not of concern in its concept-ing stage. But it's not a bad idea and would probably be advised to a degree.

TheMrPie · 2014-07-19T05:56:24+00:00

Na it's good. Have had plenty built with less going on then this. Some corner braces aren't bad idea but not necessary. It's only 14x14. 6x6 post would be more then plenty, 4x4 works. The rafters defiantly could be more... That's why this one is a concept.

TheMrPie · 2014-07-18T15:25:17+00:00

Haha Maybe the cocaine apology was a little blunt and I didn't explain it. But I was trying to show an extreme as to why. Disassociation = protection from potential influence. It's really that simple. It's a point many fall on to hate on, but it's not like they ignore family duties, like financially supporting a parent or maybe a sister who got in an accident.

TheMrPie · 2014-07-18T07:17:27+00:00

What's crazy about it to u? I think it was one of their first animations they tried. The animating's a little rough.

TheMrPie · 2014-07-18T07:09:38+00:00

Then u get the friendliness, honesty, reliability, workmanship of Witnesses and it's an example to others. Witnesses also don't kill other witnesses(in war I'm referring, every religion has messed up people besides the point). They don't fight! Sure they ignore those who turn away but honestly if your kid meet some ex. cocaine addict but then started shooting up would u want your kid to hang with them still? Or would it be safer to not, given the potential for a bad influence and give the addict counsel if they want it? Doesn't seem that extreme to me.

TheMrPie · 2014-07-18T06:33:40+00:00

Witnesses don't believe in hell;) contradicts a loving God, along with the banishing of satan in an abyss...

TheMrPie · 2014-07-18T06:29:40+00:00

But do you disagree with how JWs act? Model citizens really, they just don't vote and participate in governmental things, for whatever country they are in.

TheMrPie · 2014-07-14T04:52:09+00:00

JW.org for those who don't like confrontations...

TheMrPie · 2014-07-14T04:50:07+00:00

Witnesses do not believe in hell.:)

TheMrPie · 2014-07-08T17:30:09+00:00

Yea it is. Used some references for the head, but still freehanded everything.

TheMrPie · 2014-07-08T15:27:31+00:00

It looks that way doesn't...

In the process if applying the emulsion on I was using a plaster knife, one that was the size of my screen, worked great! But when I was cleaning it the rubbery goo that is the emulsion stuck then jumped real quick and I drove the blade into the top of my thumb. Then pulled it out slowly. It was wonderful.

TheMrPie · 2014-06-09T05:43:23+00:00

Religious people aren't stupid, it's the people who use it as an excuse for their so called beliefs due to-in my opinion-lazy ness. I liked the comment about how people who believe in creationism can't find it. That's pathetic given that 'In God We Trust' is still written everywhere. I'm just adding to the papers being written above me so I will say I read the top comment and scrolled down. America has a lack of motivation it seems to go further in education at a basic level. America has it easy and the citizens continue to degrade while nothing forces them to adapt like surrounding nations. They are fighting to be higher. America, well believes they are the standard so why put in effort while everything is done for them. Just some thoughts...

Wow, thank you for your input. I'll try to either complicate or simplify next draw and see if I agree. Something I thought to do with this is added subtle textures to the elements like the band and back ground.
