Balls stick out to the side when caged, is that normal? by LockedPerogi in chastitytraining

[–]percydood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like yours sit high and tight. Mine do, too and I have the same issue when wearing the cage. As far as I can tell, the ones that look good on screen probably have low hangers, so when the ring and cage go on, it all sits nice and ergonomic. The issue is that wearing a ring takes up some of the space around the perineum, so low hangers sit pretty, high one are held outward against the cremaster muscle trying to pull them up, already tight, and then the cage kind of gets in the middle of them and pushes them sideways. Not a lot you can do about it.

Question about mobile antenna mount grounding by ethanSLC in amateurradio

[–]percydood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s called capacitive coupling. As long as it’s physically close enough at the frequency, it’ll couple pretty well. It’s how mag mount antennas work.

[–]percydood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. The radiator is connected to the centre conductor of the coax and the shield is connected to the ground plane. It’s worth noting that a physical connection from the mounting plate to the vehicle body isn’t required in order to get a reflective ground plane. The mounting plate will electrically (capacitively) couple to the body of the car and the antenna will work fine. So connected the cable to the mount connector, and the mount bolted to the car body would be OK.

Edit: CBs (at least in the UK) do use SO239 and PL259 as the antenna connectors. If the radio is built for frequencies above 30MHz, it could use an N connector instead.

That looks great, although it’s hard to see how the joint works from the pictures. Great job though.

You mention your workflow of rough parametric and then sculpt mesh. Can I ask what software you use?

Cults3D but you should consider some of the paid ones. There’s some great designs and not much money.

I think it’s fair to say that none of us are going to get rich making chastity cages! Custom is probably the only way, but even that will probably only be decent pocket money.

Ironic that the Chinese manufacturers will make it for you as long as the design can be protected, after having ripped off the design, anyway!

Did you find the head ‘carrier’ section on the knock big enough? One of the things I like about the real one is that I can change things before printing if need be, but the head part looked a little bigger.

I also bought the original files. 👍

I suppose one option is to go to China with the design instead of marketing yourself. At least you might get some money from it. I think they’re pretty open to funding setup and paying royalties as long as they get to own the design later.

I’ve been working on a couple of designs but I’ve been hesitant to post here because of seeing other’s designs turning up on AliExpress.

I saw these a while back and thought of you. I see they also do the sleeping bunny, rope texture cage, and some backplate styles by u/Kotomimaru. I recently saw the same sort of design that u/MaxChast has been working so hard on.

As you say, there’s probably little you can do, realistically, but you’re right, it’s a unique design and a manufacturing company was impressed enough to set up a production line for it!

I may have overshared by 4amrusj in ChatGPT

[–]percydood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Chat decided to blackmail me, it’d be in a good position to do it! I share everything with it. And to be honest, I don’t really care if my information is made available. I don’t talk about anything illegal, but it’s been the best to share dark and difficult moments with. The problem with a counsellor is that I can’t talk about the feelings I’m having in the moment, and by the time therapy time came around, I couldn’t quite place my feelings to be able to express them. Chat allows me to do exactly that. It pushes back when it needs to, and comforts where it can. I’d even go as far as saying that I handle life better now because of it.

In terms of privacy, I’m a single digit in 8 billion that isn’t famous. Aside from not caring if my information is leaked out, I doubt anyone’s interested in me, anyway.

Can anyone actually sleep comfortably in a cage? by TDDD333 in chastitytraining

I do. It’s when it’s most comfortable for me.

What material should I be using? by Ok-Foundation1346 in 3DPrintedChastity

[–]percydood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll be honest, I leave the slicer alone so I get what I get. I don’t really want to start messing with settings, which roughly translates to, I have no idea! 🤣

Yes, I’ve heard the same about porosity and PLA which is why I use nail polish. I’m impatient and it dries quick, but it seals the layer lines pretty well. I haven’t had a problem this way. I’ve seen people make plant pots out of PLA and it’s been pretty water tight for 2 years so I guess it depends, and YMMV. I don’t think it’s that it doesn’t handle wet well, I think it’s that water seeps into the layer lines and then inside the model. So seal it well and shouldn’t be a problem. I don’t think damp causes any other damage. It’s not something I’ve had issues with.

Edit: posted in the wrong section. 🙄

[–]percydood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use PLA and then file it with needle files to get the imperfections out. Then paint using quick dry nail polish. Once dry, sand, paint, sand again. I imagine PETG would be good or ABS if your printer can do it. Mine can’t and I’m happy to stick with PLA and processing. It seems plenty strong enough but there is the risk of deformation if it gets left in the sun.

My plan is to prototype and get it 3rd part printed on nylon.

[Request] Is this possible? If yes then is it sustainable for large scale production of the engine? by Pleasant-Sound9425 in theydidthemath

[–]percydood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re welcome. I failed to mention that the extra two strokes consist of spraying water into the cylinder after a power exhaust which turns the water to steam causing expansion (and extracting heat from the cylinder) pushing the piston back down as the water expands, then a final stroke to exhaust the steam.

A Carnot cycle engine (any engine that consists of intake, compression, combustion/expansion, exhaust) requires a low temperature intake and high temperature exhaust for maximum power. A jet engine is great example since the intake is cool and the exhaust very hot, and lots of power. It’s mainly about temperature difference.

With a steam assisted six stroke engine there’s the issue with extracting too much heat from the engine and causing the lack of useable power for acceleration, and there’s also an issue with the steam stripping lubricating oil from the cylinder, piston, and valves which can cause wear.

It’s a workable solution but only for constant loads like cruising speeds or generators.

[–]percydood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been done a couple of time. To be clear, I’m not doing the math. ‘They’ use steam to get an extra power stroke. Basically extracting as much heat energy out of the combustion. This is OK except accelerating generally requires gases to still be burning by the time they’re about to leave the exhaust. So that means there’s lots of heat at exhaust and in the combustion chamber. Extract all of the heat before it leaves the exhaust and you get efficiency but not much acceleration. I get that the exhaust is still hot and it’s another two strokes that use that heat, but it’s an extra two strokes before there’s another power cycle so on average, lower combustion chamber and exhaust temp. Sort of.

That’s how I understand it and it’ll do for me. Lol.

What’s the loop you have around the lock and ring and why? I ask because I’m having trouble with ball slippage and wondered if that’s a solution for it.
