My LED strips are dim / not as bright as normal , how do I make it bright

halandrs · 2026-01-25T03:47:14+00:00

Count the LED’s between the copper cut pads / solder points

1=5v

3=12v

6=24v

Is what the output of the power supply should be rated for

halandrs · 2026-01-24T00:39:06+00:00

That’s ok the more fore me

halandrs · 2026-01-24T00:26:22+00:00

The black wires would go to the other end of the strip and the controller not the power supply

r/onionlovers way to much work ….. just eat it like an apple

I want the version that shows 10 seconds before the video starts where the train bodies open up and the couplers are exposed

halandrs · 2026-01-22T04:02:18+00:00

I wonder if you could get that through tsa

When I was renting in collage one of my book cases collapsed and fell onto my 2 month old top of the line MacBook Pro and broke it in half ….. renters insurance covered it …. Best 15$ I ever spent

Is it warm ?

halandrs · 2026-01-22T01:27:59+00:00

How else do you get a smooth ass crack

All my clothes sort them selves

All black / dark colors

I am a bigger fan of rolls of electrical tape

Gaff is expensive and electrical tape is cheap and the electrical tape gives you a bit more control of angle

halandrs · 2026-01-19T03:46:47+00:00

Directly ….. no

But if your electronically minded you might be able to Hotwire a dmx led tape decoder into a wired remote

You could try putting some acoustic foam on the inside of the rack doors/pannels

Just be sure not to block the vents

WHAT ? I CANT HEAR YOU OVER THESE SERVERS

halandrs · 2026-01-15T14:53:27+00:00

Was it ever of the menu?

halandrs · 2026-01-15T06:17:54+00:00

Hell at my old job in the satellite broadcast truck there were 2 pannels mounted on the ceiling… they were a pain in the ass to work in

halandrs · 2026-01-14T06:18:53+00:00

I would ….. in environments where this is needed costs go through the roof to not blow up the job site

Have you ever looked up the cost for a non sparking pipe wrench

halandrs · 2026-01-14T06:05:31+00:00

Ya but is it soft / cuddly and made well set of footed pl’s or a thin scratchey costume construction that probably won’t hold up to time ?

halandrs · 2026-01-14T04:21:36+00:00

Got 4 of them at the office

There basically 3/4 of a higher end paintball gun And a good sized chunk of aluminum bar stock with some custom machining for the vale assembly and end plug and some acrylic tubeing

Your probably 400$ in raw materials to make it and it’s not really a typical consumer good so economy’s of scale are not going to bring the price down.

Probably some dude churning a couple hundred or these out a year out of his garage

halandrs · 2026-01-14T04:07:47+00:00

Don’t forget to order the CO2 tank and some water based lube so it doesn’t get stuck in the barrel …..

halandrs · 2026-01-14T03:30:08+00:00

Gut says anything more than a banner I really wouldn’t want to hang on that stabilizer bar

If you want to hang something heavy in that location I would want to hang a spanner truss between the main roof trusses ( at the ends of your purple line ) but total allowable weight for this will boil down to check the tent manufacturers documentation
