I wanted to play postman just for one day…

Yeah those are called knurled inserts and are meant to be inserted with a soldering iron into plastic parts or similar.

So, total trash and unsuitable for wood lol?

[Venom121212]

Yes

I’m sure somewhere, somehow that is against the postman code of ethics

Threaded Inserts: Which ones are best? And why?

I have a moderate woodworking background and get pretty moody about this topic so I will only list information. There are 2 main types of inserts used in our application: Soft wood inserts [Hex_Flanged_1] Hard wood inserts [hard_wood_vignette_1] Our decks flex and move. No mater what material they are made of. For this reason, I recommend soft wood. Trampa might be the only exception but I have yet to test one if their decks. The loose teeth grab more without stripping. Hard wood inserts …

Shhh it’ll all be OK in the end

I have more than enough hate for mBoreds for all three of us… but more mBored hate is always welcome

[Niklas]

I promise you, in the future I won’t deliver that much packages at once. And I will replace that cardboard box as soon as these polish handworkers drill the holes in the deck…
Im too afraid to do it myself.

Couldn’t resist riding around already

Those axial fuses are only available up to 15A and the local electronics store only has up to 10A. I thought I would be able to keep it small with the axial fuses but it didn’t really work out the way I have imagined. What Roman has done makes a whole lot more sense. Thanks for the link. I think that will be my v2.

@Niklas

I don’t have the faith in my self that I’ll be able to do it by hand

Do this

Archived: the OG noob question thread!

My process: Line up the enclosure visually Clamp it gently in place so it doesn’t slide Tape the deck around the outside edge of the enclosure to give you an outline of the enclosure on the deck. This is when I add the weather stripping foam, tracing the edge of the tape. Mark on your enclosure where you want your bolts to be. Try and keep it in the middle of the flat part of the flange, not too close or far from the edge. Drill tiny pilot holes through each of your marks. Use a drill bit that…

Btw did you know you can hook up a keyboard to your phone and it works?

You can do a lot of things if you have a real phone. Having an iTurd is another story

What did you use?

I made this really slow lathe for my wife to do acrylic pouring on cups:

And considered putting my motor axles in and brushing in a viscous epoxy.

I worried about getting the magnets covered though and wasn’t sure what a thin film of epoxy might affect.

[b264]

It’s West System 650 epoxy with System Three Silica Thickener in some places and a custom machined 53.75mm⌀ insert that I slathered with vegetable oil. It’s 1.2mm bigger than the stator and fits lightly-snug in a 63xx rotor that hasn’t been hardened. It’s difficult, because you have to turn the insert a couple times during the curing process to keep it un-stuck from the epoxy, and that’s being covered in vegetable oil also.

[b264]

A slow-lathe turner thingy would so extremely useful for me. Surprised I haven’t made one. Not enough space, if I had space for that, I’d have space for spot-welding equipment

[kook]

I’ve been thinking about using a THICC balloon/condom, (ribbed for her pleasure) and using some expanding foam to make it conform to the magnets…
