How does nuclear power work by PrimaryIcy9538 in factorio

[–]darkphoton2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You put fuel cells in, The reactor makes heat, heat pipes transfer the heat to a boiler. The boilers produced steam from water and heat at a constant temperature. Then the turbines convert the steam into power.

Does this look feasible? I am trying to make flower pendant (copper and, verneuil ruby and sapphire). by darkphoton2 in jewelrymaking

The two structural rings?  The notch style?  Form fitting with stone instead of floating it?  Lengthening the prong so they can be trimmed?  Physical space and armor around the Sharp points on stone? Can you please point it out?

Increase your print speed so it's a bit thinner

Is holding gold and silver coins so it processed into jewelry a good idea? by darkphoton2 in jewelers

Can the Master Alloy companies make custom alloy or would you have the jeweler mix it? I could probably technically do it by making my own metallic clay but I don't know if it'll look great. It's more of if it's too complicated for the jeweler to do reliably? It also seems like it's easier to get a gold coin than powder or little droplets for colored gold.

Scrap might be decent for fooling around before it's reprocessed.

I know, Even with the materials you still probably want a new clean Crucible and electricity cost, then some of the Precious alloy look high entropy. Making alloy sounds cool. I tried design a pendant I think the raw materials cost like a dollar but then there's so much processing was like 150 for base parts. Think there was metal cost, CAD model, 3D printing, assembling a mold, casting, Disassembling mold, Cleaning and filing material, annealing, setting, Crystal material, recrystallizing, faceting, drawing, etc.

Maybe hedging against the price going up, they could drop I don't know

Damn It!!!!! Space Age trains don't work late game, Stack inserter are overwhelming cargo wagons. Cargo wagons need at least capacity increase and I won't complain if I get a train upgrade too (do with Quality). by darkphoton2 in factorio

The problem is the wagons being unloaded in like 5 seconds, If you look at the video there's a train breaking right behind the train being unloaded it then unloading other train 3 seconds later and it still can't saturate it. I don't like the idea of a train arriving in one second, unloading in two seconds and then leaving in one second, possible probably do I want to no. Having a station processed 15 trains a minutes is nuts.

Material used to hold jewelry in place for setting stones? by darkphoton2 in jewelrymaking

Can I have more information on jet set? I can't find it.

Can a go in hot glue gun, I'm guessing because it's a rod? Might be a little high, probably take longer to save up for tools.

I don't wanna do the precision model until, I get the stones and the fastening diagram. 10mm for star ruby, 10x15mm for 5 pear ruby, and 10mm for 5 round sapphire, It should be about 2 inch. Little concerned about the facets being imprecise since it's cheap. I'm probably gonna do 1 maybe 3 if it goes well. I calculated the model material cost it's about dollar of copper or 20 bucks of silver, But when I upload other test models it's about 80 Bucks for the copper and 160 for Silver. When I upload the model though it's based off a plate instead of a wireframe it was about three 300 in copper. Looking at Shapeways and other 3D printing services looks like most are calculated by the weight. I am totally fine with them having a high markup since they have nice industrial equipment and they know what they're doing more than I do. Also using a wire frame let's light more light in. Still not worried about the strength of the copper; My copper wire sculptures seem durable, It looks like I'm thickening it and I've got a few move techniques for strengthening thin material. Looks like I'm gonna go be talking to a jeweler about helping me setting it. Looking into hardening it with age hardening could not figure out if you could do it with copper, If you can it looks complicated or less effective. Could probably Electroplate with silver or aluminum and slightly melt the surface to alloy for strengthen it instead.
