FYI tip: to get KZfaq to mark the chapters on the video progress bar, make the first timestamp 00:00

why do I feel like we just watched something illegal? like a how-to video excerpt from anarchists cookbook or something.

Mass Loaded Vinyl tape is used for vibration and sound reduction. One time I went to tear some gaffer tape and it was glass fiber reinforced! I nearly cut myself trying to tear it. Also gaffer tape can react with PVC jacketed cables in a few months. It turns into a gooey mess. I worked in broadcast/video maintenance and have spent hours cleaning it off of expensive camera cables.

😮

I have a roll of electrical tape which has transferred the adhesive to the other side. It was not made that way.

Hot. Glue. 150c soft, 200c wet.

"..silicon insulated wire, i'll show it shortly" wait if it shorts it's not well insulated

tbf, Makita has had this available for a long time now, I think they called it “power head”

Lured in by the tape video, stuck around to find out about the state of open source hardware.

Thanks for this video! I haven’t nearly finished watching yet, but I already want to thank you for the demos of how each tape stretches to conform to the quarter! That’s a really great way to show that property visually

Would be better if your soldering wasn't dry af

No

Thank you.

Ok so its not actually clay..... Its a chemical compound that acts like a clay

2 min in cad and 30 on the printer would be simpler

👍

Rotary tool =/= every tool Nice drill hole lol

Rotary tool =/= every tool Nice drill hole lol

No need to hammer out the pin, just attach the end piece on the opposite end

Excellent! But what about UHMWPE tape? Or tapes with aggressive acrylic adhesive? I wish there was a company that produced a full matrix of material-thickness-adhesive-width-single/double tapes!

Wanna know why he used clay for those particular boards? To have an excuse to make the video.

I really like this idea, especially if you want to keep everything fixed in place which is absolutely annoying if you've ever had to keep an awkward angle between 2 boards (as shown in the video). I don't really love having to buy special wire for this kinda thing, but trade-offs are a thing. Also, I would definitely recommend you get some flux paste and paint that shit on to those wires. It'll make soldiering those wires SO MUCH easier, trust me.

Bad solder

I really enjoyed the quality of thought about design in this video. This reminds me of another series on youtube. Building Prototypes Dan Gelbart.

Horribly dry joints and a terrible idea overall. Just get a 3D printer... and some flux for Pete's sake

For the love of god, get a better soldering iron!!!

When measuring the temperature of a reflective surface with an IR thermometer, the issue is not the surface emissivity, but instead the fact that you are measuring the temperature of what is reflected in the surface, not the surface. Your measurements of a room temperature object object in a a room temperature room don't show that off very well, but your suggestion of using some non reflective tap is still a great solution.

so an rc car

What's up with you rubber thumb?

relying on third party hosting that might not stick around and will definitely delete your file aint the way.

Imagine being on the b0mb squad and seeing this.

Let’s hope none of the tools outlive this lobfile website

Wow you could leave it on the porch to bake at that temp

Would love to watch the content, but also would be nice to have chapter labeled, so I can jump around

resistiveLossesInCopperByHeat.

Glue gun is my preferred quick mounting solution.

Interesting - I’m from the UK and we have a lot of PZ screws in construction. Indeed the PZ2 is almost a standing joke on building sites as being the universal screwdriver. In the uk we find Phillips is good for appliances built in a factory - and also for dry wall screws, other than that almost everything has gone over to pozi. For anyone wondering what a Pozi is - it looks similar to Philips - but it has 4 little “whiskers” on the head of the screw to tell you it’s a pozi and not a Philips . The screwdriver end itself has an extra 4 sharp but smaller flutes rotated 45 degrees to the main 4.

Most of those bad things alive only inside host or short periods of travel.

Interesting idea but I would have just 3D printed it

This is great. Digital history is important even for mundane or easily ignored things.

Hey man, just a small recommendation that can completely change your soldering game: Get your hands on some proper 63/37 leaded solder, I can personally vouch for mg chemicals no. 4886-227G. Also, some flux would be good practice too, I've used chipquik CQ4LF-1.0 with good results. These can be both had for under $100aud shipped to my door from Digikey. I saw a massive improvement in the wetting of my solder once I threw away the no-name 60/40 solder I was previously using. P.s. Remember to tin your irons tip, Nobody likes a dirty tip ;)

damn, this is criminally underrated

Been using old bike tires like this for years. The best part is one tube yield hundreds of bands.

I have that same toaster oven

didnt see anyone mentioning loosing cooling of the board since the material is insulation this will be an issue when the board gets too hot and components break down the solder will also break down with high temperature even get so hot solder melts

That’s not clay.

I always thought those circuit things would NEVER withstand heat of like, over 40°C let alone 120...wow

as first u need to learn how to solder

So many wrong moves in one single video

15 minutes of 130C is not a "nice and easy" anything. Well atleast if you want these projects to live longer than a few days. I dont see any components in that circuit that are rated for that temperature. You'd prolly have to get MIL rated components for that. on the otherhand once you have an impression, you could have just baked the plastic clay by itself.
