Does flux play a part?
I use Kester 60/40 rosin flux core solder. I also have a tub of electronics grade flux as well, but I think I have maybe used it once. Kester is magic, and makes it’s own flux out of starstuff and fairy dust.
Thanks for that. If not secret sauce, how do you use it in regards to the solder blob?
come again?
Do you use extra flux in making these great blobs or just what’s in rosin core solder?
Kevlar/Metal core belts aren’t really good, Kevlar has poor performance when it gets wet it snaps more easily and metal core has literally no give, so if a pebble gets into your belts it’ll bend you motor shaft/eat into your pulley instead of just stretching out the belt or snapping it (You want SOME weakness in the belts, they’re way cheaper than new mounts)
just whats in the solder
The story is, that I wanted to have a slim board with all the elctronics integrated inside, in a slightly unusual shape made of wood. Spoiler: didn’t work out.
Milling it out of one piece of beautiful wood exceeded my DIY possibilities and purse by far. So the compromise was a sandwich board made of 3 layers:
- Top: birch multiplex reinforced with 3 fibreglass layers, covered by a foil in a more beautiful wooden design
- Center: watercut aluminium frame (perfect rough template for cutting everything else in shape with DIY tools, way cheaper and more stable than cnc milled excotic wood)
- Bottom: fibreglass box for the necessary cavity directly laminated onto the aluminium frame, covered by a foil in wooden design.
I know, I know, that’s fake wood but that was the only way for me to achieve it more or less completely on my own. And look at the beautiful dark apple birch chocolate wood
Very cool. Hope you do a full build thread on this.
No one noticed the subtile REDUNDANCY joke!?
Hadn’t even realized that, Brian will start to cut every belt in half so it’s harder for both to rupture at the same time
Promised
What reason did they give?
It was posted from an other group and doesn’t comply w the rules
I feel envy and a bulge in my pants at the same time
Lmaooo, will probably be for sale later, but I want to enjoy em
why does it look so awkward with those… i think they too big. @DEXBOARDS please make 120s!!!
Is it an Ultraboard though? If not, we need to go BIGGER
