Give Your Twist Connections Some Strength

We’ve all done it at some time — made an electrical connection by twisting together the bare ends of some wires. It’s quick, and easy, but because of how little …read more

And now for something completely different. Samsung washing machine doing odd things during the wash cycle. Internet searches suggest the main board is full of poor solder joints. The internet was correct. Makes a change from hifi and watches! BTW I f*cking hate depotting circuit boards, why do manufacturers do this shit?

This is what #patching a #bug in #hardware looks like.

First attempt: I made things worse
Second attempt: it's as if I did nothing
Third attempt: fixed!

If you don't know how big a US dime is, the punchline here is that these wires are very small, tedious to work with and will probably come loose at the slightest provocation. #USBC

And a shout out to those who know exactly what happened here without any explanation required. I goofed. Next rev will be better. #OpenHardware #electronics #diy

Before you pre-order a new Apple device, consider repairing your current one. You can make it feel like new, save money, and keep another device from becoming e-waste. #AppleEvent #RighttoRepair

Fixed my wife’s umbrella handle with #FreeCAD.

Usually, I just use a thread from the Fastener workbench, but this one wasn’t a standard at all. Cutting it out with the Subtractive Helix tool was so easy that I might just use that method all the time from now on. Normally, adjusting and experimenting with the diameters needs to be done anyway to get the fit just right due to print tolerances.

Ich habe einen Kaseinknopf mit Brennnesselgarn an eine Hose genäht. Mal sehen, was am längsten hält, der Knopf, das Garn oder die Hose.

I made a beeswax balm by melting beeswax and adding hemp oil, all locally produced. This gave a nice shine to the wooden spoons I use a lot.

Quick Sunday Morning Project: replacing the speaker terminals on a Luxman LV-103. The original set was vaguely ok, but the Plastic has started to fade, which is always a sign of impending brittleness, and the old set does not accept banana plugs.

So I got a replacement set from https://speaker-terminal.com (highly recommended!). I've already done the L-525 I mentioned yesterday, but it was so simple a procedure that I completely forgot to take pics.

Wenn die Ummantelung des Fahrradschlosses kaputt geht, scheuern die einzelnen Kettenglieder den Lack am Fahrrad ab. Um weiteren Schaden zu verhindern, wird die Ummantelung hier ausgetauscht. Auf dem Markt gibt es auch Universalschläuche, falls der Hersteller mal keinen Ersatz anbietet.

If the coating on the bike lock breaks, the individual chain links will rub off the paint on the bike. To prevent further damage, the coating is replaced here. Universal tubes are also available on the market if the manufacturer does not offer a replacement.

There was a trend maybe 10 or 15 years ago if people turning compressed gas cylinders into wind chimes or gongs. For the past several months or the year I've been seeing these nitrous canisters lying in gutters because people get high off of them and then just drop them out of their cars.

I saw one on my bike ride this morning and I thought I would see if I could make a gong out of one

Question for mastodon machinists:

This lathe is for sale locally and a couple of my friends are trying to figure out what this attachment with the pair of rollers on the back of the lathe does. None of us have ever seen anything like it.

Do you know what it is?

If you don't know, that's fine. You don't have to make wild-ass guesses.

Manchmal wundert man sich, wie laut eigentlich so ein Abrollgeräusch eines Rollkoffers sein kann.

Die Kofferrollen verschleißen sehr gerne und lassen sich mit wenig Aufwand austauschen - man braucht meist nur einen Schraubendreher.

Hier geht es zur Reparatur:

Vorliegende Powerline stellt auf einmal den Dienst ein, was sich durch den Ausfall der Ethernet-Verbindung am PC bemerkbar macht. Noch nicht mal mehr die Power-LED leuchtet. Deswegen liegt der Fehler höchstwahrscheinlich am internen Netzteil der Powerline. Dieses wird gezielt untersucht, es ist die Diode des Flybacks defekt. Nach dem Austausch funktioniert die Powerline wieder.

This powerline suddenly stops working, which is noticeable due to the failure of the ethernet connection on the PC. Not even the power LED is lit anymore. Therefore, the fault is most likely due to the internal power supply of the powerline. This is examined specifically, and the flyback diode is found to be defective.
