  1. Fun fact: Pelican's Vault 800 case is the ONLY case they make that's under 500$ and fits this guitar.
    Other options were: a sea chest that's 80" long
    a custom flight case (500$)
    a Hellfire missile case (stainless steel) + 400$ shipping + it's in Romania + that thing barely fits in the house let alone my car (but it looked cool!)

    anyways, here is the most likely configuration (with not shitty cut foam from my lack of skill in F360)

    Bonus: The exhaust cone is also a cup to hold the screws!

  2. Man, some stuff really feels weird.

     

    I can't wrap my head around the fact I'll be able to make my first prototype guitar under 1000$ (cad mind you) given how weird it is.

     

    I found a seller for the necks, the hardware and most of the parts I need.

     

    All that's left is finish measuring the neck I got to make sure my cad model fits right (it mostly does) and see my cousin about machining.

     

    Excluding paint I'm at 880$

    That's with the expectations that the rear fins + the body will cost about 350$. Which should be about right.

     

    I've been trying to buy a Hellfire Missile transport case to house the project once it's done, but that's proven difficult 😂

     

    If any of you american fellows have a lead on this I'd appreciate, but I expect this to be very unlikely.

  3. Part -1 acquired
    PXL_20231027_023530409.jpg


    This is a neck only for me to test painting it, hopefully it works well without removing the frets because I'm lazy as fuck.

  4. Project update!
    ?u=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.discordapp.com%2Fattachments%2F952282193764442142%2F1113260189806776390%2Fimage.png 

    I have acquired this guitar, delivery within November:
    Screenshot_20231018-211957.png

    I have changed plans a bit, I'll use this neck rather than building my own from scratch. The truss rod is adjusted from below the 24th fret, which is a godsend when you look at the picture above and try to figure out where the Allen key would go.

    Also: 335$ cad shipped for a guitar neck + hardware is a good price. 
    I'll modify the body I modeled to comply with the dimensions of this neck instead. I will also make it so that it's less of a pain in the ass to manufacture.

    It will probably end up with wood for the body where the hardware resides (and neck mount) and the more tube-shaped rear where the fins attach I'll probably use something that already exists rather than turning down wood or another material.

    100mm diameter Carbon Fiber tubes exist and are barely 100$.

    The small (front) fins, the exaust and maybe the nose cone at first? will be 3d printed, I might try to do fiberglass or CF later idk.
    The rear fins are a major issue tho: 

    image.png.d1ae67a3cedc1a6ec4ffbd1d79a6bed4.png

    This thing is huge, I don't think I can find a 3d printer that would work, much less one that would give me a sturdy enough part..

    could try to do forged carbon fiber, but I don't think it's the best of ideas for money related purposes.
    Maybe CNC ? But it's not a flat piece, it's literally a wing.

      I actually spent 2 days moving files around to make space.

       

      The drive these ended on went from 64gb left before, to 47gb left after 😂

  6. I have a new Pc project!
    No name for now, but meet the oscilloscope that will house [not my threadripper] computer!
    I'll let you take a guess what my plans are for that scope 👀

      @da na It's free real estate: CRT are large (the entire depth of the device is the tube). To make it worse they require high voltage which needs space. To make it worse the conversion would require a custom CRT driver board as the current is integrated into the oscilloscpe which needs to go.

       

      Keeping the CRT and adding a PC is difficult.

      NO NO NO
      I'm keeping the oscilloscope AS IS.

      I'm probably going to use a mini pc not an ITX for space.

    3. FlyingPotato_is_taken

      FlyingPotato_is_taken

      How?

      The last I opened had no space. The bottom half was full with electronics. Right to the CRT was the high voltage and AC input filtering. Behind the CRT obviously the CRT.

    4. givingtnt

      Plenty of space in this one for a mini pc, maybe not an ITX but def something with a 5800H or similar. 
      PXL_20230827_182326302.jpg

      This one's tube gets very narrow at the rear, I could fit the itx board on the outer case and slide it down on it.

      Same with this side, the pots are not really "required" to be this far accessible, as long as I set them we're good lol.

    Mind you this is a lot less nonsense than being killed from across the map with a shotgun lol.

      how about a twin rotor powered cooling loop?

       

      it burns so much fuel that the fuel could as well be your coolant.

       

  10. I have acquired an accordion.
    I've been looking for one at a reasonable price for 8 months now and my parents got this one for me on my birthday instead because they found it for only 50$! It's got a few stuck keys and might need some new leather straps, but it's absolutely great for the price! (These usually go for around 800$ used..)

  11. So, when I was on my trip in the USA, I shot a desert eagle.
    Some of you might know this since I posted it already.

    However today's post is about the experience of shooting a desert eagle.
    Contrary to what you might have been lead to believe, it's not about the sound (although it is quite loud)
    Or the immense kick (although it is quite strong)

    It's not about any of that.
    It's about that split second.
    That moment when you squeeze the trigger.

    As Gun Jesus told us he was the way and the light.
    But occasionally that light is muzzle flash.

      I thought it was hilarious to shoot.
      I had shot pistols (SIG M17!!) and shotguns before. A few .223 and 7.62x39 rifles.

      But this.. I mean the second I pulled the trigger all I saw was muzzle flash.
      Just.. nothing but a big flash.
