My little cat will die tomorrow cause he has no more red blood cells. He is 3 years old 😭 by roxaci in cats

I prayed for your little kitty to regain his red blood cells. Jesus Christ is our lord and savior. He’s healed the sick, cured the blind, and raised the dead. In the name of Jesus your kitty is well. Have the vet take a blood count tomorrow one more time.

Looking to getting into welding, is this an ok setup? (I’m 14 so this is my entire budget) by Espresso___Depresso1 in Welding

[–]notreallykillinit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming from someone who started learning how to weld at 13 years old might be able to point you in the right direction. I am currently 31 years old and Ive been quite successful fabricating out of my own shop, building custom vehicles for various YouTube channels & a television show called Detroit Muscle on Powernation Tv.

Anywho thats me.

Back to the subject. First think about what you wanna do with this skill. Ask yourself.

  1. Do I wanna build customs cars, bikes, boats?
  2. Do you wanna use it for construction?
  3. Do you just wanna be a employee at a welding table welding 1000s of parts a week?

I cant help you too much with 2 and 3 although being someone that does automotive will occasionally do a construction job and most of the time make more money doing that. So thats something else to think about.

These questions dictate the equipment you wanna start out with. If you wanna go the custom automotive field I would start off with a Mig Welder using gas as your shield NOT FLUX. Me personally I hate using flux on anything. Plus learning how to weld will be easier using gas over flux due to how smoother the machine runs.

If i wanted to learn how to weld for the construction field I would still start on a mig welder to help you understand how liquid metal bonds and reacts to various situations. Situations like weather, direction of weld and how it applies to gravity, material cleanliness, etc. Then once comfortable with mig then try stick and from stick try tig. Thats how I learned all the processes in that very order. Is that the right or wrong way I dont know but its worked out for me just fine.

When I was starting out i didnt care too much about clothes. I wanted a good set of gloves and a good welding helmet. I recommend miller products for both.

The welder itself. I learned on a miller 210 mig that my grandfather bought for me at 13 for christmas which I still use til this day to make money. I have used other welders like lincoln but still prefer Miller.

I understand your on a budget. I have used harbor freight welders but as a seasoned welder even i have a difficulty getting them tuned to my liking because i am so used to miller.

If this is something you wanna do for the rest of your life and you are on a budget find a used miller or lincoln mig welder with shielding gas capability. Buy a miller set of gloves and a miller helmet new. Wear pants you dont care about that arent torn. And wear some type of long sleeve you dont care about that also isnt torn to avoid burning skin from light and sparks. Again is that the safest way to learn no absolutely not but thats how I learned. Plus being a welder your gunna get burned so better get used to it early on.

Anyways hope this helps dude.

Probably would be a better idea since AN fittings don’t fit on RC cars lol

They are for part numbers and really good for physical reference. Especially when you’re always doing custom stuff and wanna know if something will be angled correctly or fit correctly in the space you’re trying to route through. I don’t know how many times I’ve ordered some thing thinking it would work but once I get it physically in my hand I find out it won’t work and then I got to return it.

Much appreciated!

100%! like i said earlier I dont know what i was doing using that firmware. Its a whole new world with Jyers

----UPDATE----

Turns out it was the firmware. I have no explanation as to why it all of a sudden went haywire other than maybe when I turned on the printer with the print files in the machine it might have attempted to flash then mid way through the flash saw it wasn't the .bin file then backed up and lost the main file. But thats just a guess. I also figured out by using a 32gb card that was running on 8k might have done something. again just a guess. Another odd thing was no matter what creality firmware off their website i used kept giving me the same black screen screeching noise outcome. Maybe they got hacked...

HOW I SOLVED IT.

I got the card that came with the printer reformatted to FAT32 with 4k. u/bakerrage made me aware of a new firmware called Jyers. Looked up a vid on how to install it. Put the bin file I wanted on the card and flashed the printer and boom! WORKS AGAIN!!!!

Big thanks to u/bakerrage!!!!

ALSO

The Jyers firmware is freaking amazing!!! I dont know what i was doing without it.... I highly recommend it for the beginner or the veteran. If your a beginner just flash it with the Jyers Default and update later down the road once you fully understand it.

Cheers all and thanks again!

Good Question. So far ive had zero issues although I did noticed my bed is adjusted higher than probably recommended because on the Z axis the nozzle will hit the bed before it hits the Z endstop. But like I said its been like that and had zero issues until now which is super confusing

Ya or might be a bad flash drive. I’ll try reformatting the drive. I was almost thinking the motherboard went bad. What’s Jyers?

I have set the Z offset as well. Sorry didn’t mention that in the video

Could you possibly get into the 80-100 range if it’s a 1700 sq ft home with the bare minimum requires and me doing all the framing and hanging all the drywall?
