I learned soldering this Christmas
any “tips”?
I use the t12 pointy one.
Jokes aside don’t be scared to use a lot of flux and or/try to resolder things several times.
Don’t over use soldering wire. It’ll make the joint worse.
If you are using one of those smart soldering irons with usb-c power only don’t forget to order the right power brick beforehand. For me a 45w one was powerful enough.
Flux smoke is toxic but you won’t die in 10 seconds if you accidentaly breath in some.
Go for it. It isn’t as scary as people make it out to be
You boys and your guy talk lol imma go be oblivious somewhere else lol
🤣
That’s cool! Are you learning it to build robots ? What’s the usage gunna be?
No, I built myself a drone. Look up “fpv freestyle” on yt
Ooooooh it’s cool !!
I like designing and 3d printing stuff that can just be part of my life. I designed and printed a mount for this ptz camera I used on my 3d printer, and I also designed and printed a wall mount for my wii mini.
I also tried my hand at brewing, making apple wine from the apples I harvested from a tree in my back yard. Later I did some honey wine made from local honey (amazing), and some maple syrup wine (horrible)
I’ve got some electronics because I’d like to ultimately build an RV car I design myself. I’ve got a design for a windmill for my yard I was struggling to print a while back I’d like to try again. I designed it to rotate on an axis so it’ll chase the wind like a proper windmill.
I bought an arduino based PLC I need to soldier together one of these days that I want to use for some projects.
Wow that’s awesome! Can you print like a cellphone? Like how does that work?
It’s mesmerizing. Basically, the printer draws a layer of plastic, then uses the layer it just drew to draw another layer, and it just slowly does this super precisely one layer at a time, 0.1mm at a time, until your thing is printed. I had it on my kitchen table, and had to move it into the basement because I would just sit there staring at it as it would slowly draw the thing I was printing.
You have to keep in mind that process when you’re designing stuff, but you can design a lot of stuff. The stuff that really makes a cellphone a cellphone is the electronics, but a 3d printed box could definitely be part of a cell phone project.
In fact, here’s a cell phone based on a rotary phone that used a 3d printed case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfdUudG6sms (I was looking for the original video but couldn’t, but this shows it off pretty good)
Wow. That is really dam cool. I seriously want one
I think she’s trying to start manufacturing them.
Hell yea
what don’t i craft?
naw it’s usually like fixing broken things or like sewing rips in clothes or whatever, there are cool interesting tech mods / builds as well on places like instructables or hackaday
Mods and builds for what? Computers ?
