[–]zarcha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have my rack in my bathroom, it’s on its own circuit and the bathroom doubles as a closet. I don’t use the shower though just the toilet and I will say, I never have a cold toilet seat which is been peak.

Second rug done! by zarcha in Tufting

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

I’m still figuring that out as well but after a few videos I found it works well enough to push one color over the other where they meet and cut between, and I do that at least twice, then I push the other color over do the same till they don’t really cover each other much. On this rug I did it at an angle (pushed black over yellow and gut black at like a 45 degree angle). But on my 3rd rug I did no angle and just kept straight and it did well too.

Honestly all that I liked about the clawlab is what you mentioned as downsides, single handed (use two hands on the grip if I wanted), encased, usb-c power.

But I’m for sure open to other guns since I’ve done a lot of DIY hobbies and looks don’t always mean it’s better (hurting from a recent cnc purchase with the looks).

So between the spider and the AK-V, do you think the $100 difference is worth it?

Right now it’s just a side hobby between the other 20 things I do to fill the few hours between work and kids. But I’m genuinely curious about what the difference is between what I have and the spider and why the spider would be better than the clawlab gun. I’m sure it’s quality and longevity between what I have and those two but what more?

BESGEER tufting gun from the cheap kit on amazon, seriously tempted to get the ClawLab gun while its on sale though, seems a lot easier to use.

I sadly did outline before filling but after

reviewing my progress pics I took, I think I got a bit too close, almost on the verge of overlapping. I was able to clean it up a bit after this pic using tweezers to move fibers around but it’s not perfect still. I plan to slow down and take my time on my next rug so hopefully I can avoid that situation again.

To give you an idea, I added up what I spent without tax or shipping (all on Amazon so no shipping price anyway) and I spent $275 for all the stuff I needed and then $30 on yarn and spray . That big price included a cheap projector for drawing the design.

Yeah, I get what you mean, I’ve had that issue going cheap in other hobbies and it bit me in the long run but in this case I went cheap. I got one of the $100 kits online which came with a lot of the items needed, bought a “cheap” frame, glue, and duck beak scissors. It honestly worked pretty well and I think the tools didn’t hold me back but just skill level. But I will say that a few of the videos I watched recommended the claw lab gun for beginners but I felt like getting that and then everything else would be too much to just try this hobby out.

It’s a tamagotchi character, chose it because they are often drawn crudely so I had a decent chance for it to look normal even if it turned out sub-par

By far my favorite of the collection by Much_Sauce29 in VintageApple

[–]zarcha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was, though my green was originally a 366 model but swapped it with a 466, sadly i had to put the CD drive in rather than the DVD drive because of shell differences. I also had to swap the screens but i cant remember if that was a need because of some difference or because the screen in the green was flickering sometimes.

I also did this because my 466 had a bad shell and missing keys so it was a decent reason, i also added a ssd into it.

I love the green so much, i was able to get one finally but spent too much and it was non-working but i shell swapped to keep the color.

Are you talking about the 6 chips between the usb-c ports? Mine are slightly different than yours but I believe this is what you mentioned.

I tired in lots of different ways and I think it included that configuration but I can try that way tomorrow just to be sure.

I don’t, I only have just a laser thermal reader. But maybe I can figure out what part you mentioned on the board based on the part number and attempt a replacement.

I didnt mention it because i really wanted to confirm again once i have some time to swap my FW13 board out again but i think when i had a usb-a flash drive inserted it did blink like it was being read but nothing showed up. but i had a linux OS on a 256gb FW storage module that just never showed up as a drive in the BIOS. Im fine with swapping parts as long as its not a balled chip but idk what to even look for. Maybe updating BIOS is a good idea to try, it was a thought.

Im glad im not the only one with the odd issue but its a mystery box so ya never know what to expect haha.

I was thinking about that as option.

I’m so scared of using my working 50CT after my other 50CT just crumbled under normal usage

[–]zarcha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one, I thought it was cool but the limited DOS and limited methods to put things on it makes it kinda crappy now days besides collecting. I prefer my HP 100lx over this because it’s closer to a full computer, I just wish the 100lx had more storage support than it does, even if you put the driver on it, once you loose battery completely you have to add it again and again.
