Hack to make a studio / external flash work on Canon EOS cameras in Live View mode
How to enable the hot shoe of a canon camera to work with a studio or 3rd party external non TTL flashes in live view for a canon 800d camera. This will probably work with any canon camera that doesn't allow external flash used in live view.

Belt grinder hack for cheap 2x36" belts

2x36" Belts are not so common to get hold of - Here is an easy way to get them cheaply. Buy the more common 4"x36" belts and slit them down the middle with a simple jig and box knife blade. I used and old 2" belt as a guide to place the blade.

Making a TIG Torch holder with the Arcdroid - Made a small error but managed to recover from it with ease saving material. So much satisfaction to make things yourself. Never gets old making stuff from junk
ARCDROID project 5 - making a sign from an old saw blade
Переглядів 1,2 тис.Рік тому
Still learning the little robot but getting there. Didn't allow enough for the kerf in parts of the center design. Added more water to the tray to make splashes to keep the blade cool as it was cut. This worked well - was only luke warm at the very end no warping at all. 95% success on this one.. Speed 1000 mm/m blade thickness 3mm 40A curent 1.7 cut height 3mm pierce height

Still tweaking settings - Notes: on the "S" I stopped it as I forgot to put water in the table hence the divots as it restarted cutting there. No major clean up just a flap disk that's all. Feed rate a bit too fast as I have dross on TOP - was 1500mm/m better would be 1200mm/m

Still learning all this - arc cut out on the star not sure why. think the tip hit the steel causing it to go out. Need to set the height better- DXF file from BAD DOG METAILWORKS

Hello, plasma cutter, how many amps? Nozzle diameter 0.8 0.9 mm?
.8 30A
@mattsan70 0.8 mm
What was your unlock code? I have been waiting two weeks.
@@FrancisoDoncona every code is different it is related to the serial number
Great video, stayed in this hostel from Jan - April 1994. Looking on google maps, its now fancy apartments.
How did you enable THC on the machine?
@@MP-zv6fm you have to get a code from arcdroid website
FYI The engine Stop solenoid does not let the engine start until oil pressure has built up. Hence the delay when turning over. If bypassed, it fires straight away.. The BKB head uses the tried and reliable transformer type of voltage regulator NOT an electronic AVR. These old regulators are robust and outlast modern AVRs hands down! This machine has only 12 hours on it since new. Was used as a backup set for a communications tower since 1990.
Thanks for the video! Can I ask how do you get the cad file for such a thing? Do you design it yourself? Or get a picture/photo and put some sort of stencil filter on it so it just shows outlines? If you’re busting out signs like this for customers surely it’s not cost effective to be spending hours drawing it from scratch in CAD. Not sure how that side of it works.
@@buxybuilt1519 this particular machine you can design your own drawing in cad as you suggest. You can download any pre-existing drawings or you can use the trace function of the arm and simply create a design by following the outline with the stencil attachment. All you do is save the file as dxf format stick it on a USB stick tell it basically how thick the metal is and off you go
@@mattsan70 ahh I got ya, so to save time you could print out a photo of a crane for example off google that you like and just trace the outline yourself, adding in the details you think are necessary. Then create a Microsoft word doc of the lettering and trace that also. Appreciate your fast reply!
@@buxybuilt1519 you could but that so long winded. google "crane clipart" or "crane DXF" or "crane vector" and you will have many to choose from - throw it into any drawing program add your text and save as DXF job done. I use Vcarve pro as my drawing/CAD program as its very versatile. Even import a bitmap photo and it will "trace" it to a vector line image for you! search on here vcarve pro dead easy to learn
That’s neat,do you mind if I ask what your settings were on the Arcdroid for that sign,cheers 😊
Tbh I can't remember. Only thin sheet so fast at 40amps
IS IT HARD TO ENABLE THE THC SYSTEM ON THE ARCDROID AS IM YET TO DO IT AND II THINK ITS TIME LOL
haha perfect , i came up with the same idea , but that jig is perfect haha ! thank you
Здравствуйте! Где такой купить?
may i ask what's the name of your plasma cutter
arcdroid
I'll be ordering one one of these machines next week! I was wondering what kind of table you have it attached to? Is that something you built or bought?
The main structure of the table is prebuilt I just welded on the bit to hold the droid and the water tray. The table is USA is by eastwood and in the UK stakesys.co.uk
Long live Art Bell 🙌
If you have an ADroid and want the gcode for this - msg me
Sign and stencil all in one
How well does the tracing function work?
Very well. For making quick parts like brackets it's a huge time saver
Great job, how are you grounding your work?
Thanks. Grounded via a Magnet stuck to the work
Looks awesome !
Very nicely done. thanks.
Amazing tool!
FYI : SIABOD is a mountain in North Wales UK
🎉 Nice job
Thanks for posting this… ages ago 😄. Stayed in the CBB in 1999, loved it!! Pretty sure the dog (Annicka?) was still there when i was there. Dear memories!! Thanks for visualizing them… 😁
good stuff! nice use of the cart
I am pretty sure i remember you matt. i am steve and had a job at unsw, i lived there in 1993 i think.
Did you work in IT? You were a long-term residence of the hostel?
Are you Steve with the kangaroo skull?
