    The Product Photo Thread

    Not to sound mean or anything, but the lettering on that got bass looks a bit janky? You said minor, but I see all kind of jagged edges every where. The top left corner of the "T" The "B" looks a little crooked and uneven, especially at the top left corner. The insides of the two "S"s look like they were carved by hand And then the "?", just looks all messed up. Again, I don't want to sound so judgemental, just saying from a consumers perspective. Maybe its the picture? Or maybe its not finished? it was just a trial of the machine, it was the first lettering it carved, it did not come out good, i readjusted it and carved a new one, the problem was that the lettering was too small for the drill bit i was using, am it started "walking" i was going to throw it away

Hooker As a Fertility Specialist for Pachyderms, this was exactly what we needed to help rebuild elephant populations all over sub-saharan africa. It's not all just Medications and IVF treatments. Some times you need a loudspeaker, a Barry White CD and a 55 Gallon drum of Lube.
  7. so i had the shop inspection today for my business licence, we passed on all aspects so i am oficially open for business and ready to take orders
  8. 3 hours of soldering a running wires later i have a control box im proud of, its in a modified Micro ITX computer case i got for 30 bucks and a few serial connectors, ill take pics of it tomorrow for now i need to nurse these burns
  9. i can mill the adapters, check my section, gearbox cnc

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Ok that is damn cool. I want one now, but mine is a bit bigger

    Free sample products for review available

    ill adjust them to whatever you want, it will be 50 each mtm shipped anywhere within the usa, ill have 4 to send out
  13. ok so next week im going to be milling out some small sample products, a few rings and adapters and one mtm speaker cabinet, no speakers will be included and it will be cut from MDF not the final wood birch ply this is a first come first serve basis, in order to get the free product, you must do 2 things, cover shipping, (usps flat rate) and promise a review of the item, free product is only available to members with 100 or more posts i will have 1 pair of each to be sending out of the following these are available in any speaker size requested speaker plate with "paddle tweeter" regular rings i will also have 2 door panels to send out but these will be at a reduced price, not free and one (1) mtm cabinet \

    still waiting on that control board, tomorrow hopefully, then i can get some demo products milled out for you all, im gonna have a few free samples to be sending out to people
  16. I wrote this paper a few years back for a class i had to take in college in order to apply for my masters degree, its been published on a few different websites over the years There are four basic types of power supplies used: Unregulated Linear Regulated Linear Ferroresonant Switch Mode The differences between the four types include constant voltage output, cost efficiency, size, weight, and ripple. I willl explain each type of supply, describe the principle of operation, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. 1. Unregulated Linear Power Supply Unregulated power supplies contain four basic components: a transformer, rectifier, filter capacitor, and a bleeder resistor. This type of power supply, because of its simplicity, is the least costly and most reliable for low power requirements. The disadvantage is that the output voltage is not constant. It will vary with the input voltage and the load current, and the ripple is not suitable for electronic applications. The ripple can be reduced by changing the filter capacitor to an ic(inductor-capacitor) filter but the cost to make this change would make use of the regulated linear power supply a more economical choice. 2. Regulated Linear Power Supply A regulated linear power supply is identical to the unregulated linear power supply except that a 3-terminal regulator is used in place of the bleeder resistor. The regulated linear power supply solves all of the problems of the unregulated supply, but is not as efficient because the 3-terminal regulator will dissipate the excess power in the form of heat which must be accommodated in the design of the supply. The output voltage has negligible ripple, very small load regulation, and high reliability, thus making it an ideal choice for use in low power electronic applications. 3. Ferroresonant Power Supplies A ferroresonant power supply is very similar to an unregulated power supply except for the characteristics of the ferroresonant transformer. The ferroresonant transformer will supply a constant output voltage over a wide variation of the transformer input voltage. The problems with using a ferroresonant power supply include that it is very sensitive to slight changes in line frequency and would not be switchable from 50 Hz to 60 Hz, and that the transformers dissipate more heat than conventional transformers. These power supplies are heavier and will have more audible noise from the transformer resonance than regulated linear power supplies. 4. Switch Mode Power Supplies The switch mode power supply has a rectifier, filter capacitor, series transistor, regulator, transformer, but is more complicated than the other power supplies that we have discussed. The schematic below is a simple block diagram and does not represent all of the components in the power supply. The AC voltage is rectified to an unregulated DC voltage, with the series transistor and the regulator. This DC is chopped to a constant high frequency voltage which enables the size of of the transformer to be dramatically reduced, and allows for a much smaller power supply. The disadvantages of this type of supply are that all of the transformers have to be custom-made and the complexity of the power supply does not lend itself to low production or economical low power applications.
