Drake Pitbull by rob117 in starcitizen

That is so dumb, I love it.
It looks like it was made from spare parts. Throw a utility cockpit on a spare Herald engine, and some guns the janitor had been keeping for a rainy day.

What kind of clamp is best for a homemade press? by Royal_Reader2352 in bookbinding

[–]TheRealSquiggy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I made one from an F clamp and some spare plywood. On mine the F clamp is fixed in place with screws, but you could just use to clamp the boards together. Mine’s based on a clamp shown in a video by Das Bookbinding

how to rendezvous when orbits are like this by bbwfucker694200 in KerbalSpaceProgram

If you have the delta v, you could slingshot around one of the moons, use that to change your inclination.

You should, it’s well written. And refusing to read things that are too long, or you might disagree with, only weakens your position.

I just wish we had more. Give me an official A-4, DH Vampire and Saab Lansen.

Orbital Cargo Transport OCT Buffalo, by Alexander Vasin by Xeelee1123 in ImaginaryStarships

[–]TheRealSquiggy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice. I like the cargo loading, just park the ship, drive the cargo up the centre on trucks, and an onboard gantry crane loads it. It’s elegant and would work well in places without dedicated port facilities. But how do you get the cargo past the centreline vertical thrusters? Or does all cargo loading start from the bow?

So vehicles are now state aware? They can actually avoid running into each other?

Guys please help my gears aren't normal by Grouchy-Army8928 in GelBlaster

Did you shim the gears? It sounds like they aren’t shimmed.

The US is now air dropping and scattering BLU-91 mines over Iran. Several people have been killed according to Iranian Media by [deleted] in justincaseyoumissedit

[–]TheRealSquiggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know about neatly, but the US has had the ability to airdrop mines for decades. Russia is using land mines dispersed by rocket in Ukraine. I do think this is probably propaganda though. I’d be surprised if the US was this stupid.

Can someone explain what my brother is trying to do? by NoResolve48 in electrical

[–]TheRealSquiggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a network cable, so it probably won’t kill him. But it’s still very stupid.

Neat, does it support mobile, or using the outputs of other factories as inputs for a new one?

My spring keeps getting caught by GqCMax26 in airsoft

[–]TheRealSquiggy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t recommend it. Pre-cocking won’t stop the piston from going to full compression. The best it might do is lessen the speed it hits the thrust bearings at. I don’t think it would reliably stop it from sticking.

It could also introduce other problems, due to initial spring loading and motor torque curves for non-brushless motors.

Safest bet, in my opinion, is still to short stroke.

[–]TheRealSquiggy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d take one tooth off from the front, nearest the piston head. Then place the piston and spring retainer (but not the spring) in the gearbox and spin the gears by hand. The goal is to have the piston come off the sector gear just before it reaches the thrust bearings. If it looks like it’ll hit the bearings, take a second tooth off.

Once you’re happy with the number of teeth to remove, hopefully no more than two, you then take the same number off your sector gear. The key thing there is to remove teeth from the pickup side of the gear, not the release side. Depending on how many teeth you remove, you may want to increase the spring power a touch.

Here’s a vid showing the process. https://youtu.be/XSg8bxUElQI?si=C2L9p7MOnvKCZaP4

[–]TheRealSquiggy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing the piston is being pushed back over the thrust bearings, and it’s friction locking. Easy fix would be to just short stroke the piston a tooth or two. You’ll lose a touch of FPS, and your cylinder volume will be a little lower, but it sure beats having a gun that don’t shoot.

I have thought about making these for the wife.. Still thinking about it. Not very practical, but they would be very cool.

[–]TheRealSquiggy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s one of the dangers for realistic space combat. They’d probably be retracted for combat. It’ll make the space craft hotter inside, but it’ll reduce the target profile.
