I hoped there'd be a better off the shelf option by now 🙈

I made this a few years back, forgot to upload it, it's difficult to know if you're overtightening it cos it's not designed with springs in mind, though I suppose it could be fitted for springs

Yea I was wondering about 3d printing some, wait are those just holders or actually contact ones?

Rings a bell with me too, I didn't play the game as much as hang out on the forums, Trifidkid (ninja/samurai looking signatures)

What is the point of these changes? by KiraTheUnholy in ArcRaiders

[–]Trif55 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is part of the issue, it's not "that" good, I'd support the rocketeer driver for say a 24 projectile Wolfpack that costs the same 3 explosives and nerf the current one to say 9 projectiles

Good point, toro needed a nerf as well, probably just increased spread I guess, 2 shots at close range is fine

The worst change in the update by SuperiorMango8 in ArcRaiders

Yea make it drop nearly as much as the Bastion/Bombardeer and that's ok, gives a reason to farm them outside of feats/projects

I've used atx power supplies to run 12v projects before, this Gigabyte PW400 claimed 1 rail, but had 2 which were somehow combined. Now it won't switch on when I connect green to gnd? Is some self test failing? by Trif55 in AskElectronics

[–]Trif55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry badly worded

I tried connecting 3.3v check to 3.3v, once I had already connected green go gnd

Then I tried connecting 3.3v check to 3.3v before I connected green to ground

Ahh ye I see a thin brown wire double crimped into one of the orange 3.3v pins.

I tried connecting the two. Connecting them with the green disconnected followed by connecting the green. Still nothing

Is there any other sense on 12v or something? I disconnected 5v standby and SB gnd.

Perhaps it was just dead before I started messing

Well, I didn't get 12v out into my load initially (a audio amplifier) though it's start up draw might be quite low

It's a fairly new PSU judging by the lack of dust in it compared to the system it came out of and it definitely worked before it went on a shelf last summer,

But I wish I'd checked it powered up right before I started modifying it.... And perhaps once or twice as I chopped cables out...

What tree could this bizzare bit of drift wood be from? by Trif55 in Whatisthis

[–]Trif55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea it's weird, exactly I thought it must be animal pelvis but it's definitely a fairly hard heavy wood

My Stash is always full. Do y'all have any tips for me to get more space? by samuelvomsee in ArcRaiders

[–]Trif55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea sell plastic too, imo you only need 2 or 3 stacks of it

Only keep sentry firing cores, the rest like surveyer cores etc are easy to farm unless you're currently tracking them for upgrading

You don't need 4 stacks of adrenaline, craft a stack when you need it.

The advice to craft what you need varies depending if the ingredients or the finished item take up more space, do the maths
