And collaborate. We are stronger together.

@waxen thistle we sure are. Having a space like this to collaborate is HUGE.
waxen thistle
And the best part, it's friendly. Not "fake PR forced friendly", but legit friendly. People are kind, supportive, and encouraging here. I have seen so many hostile forums....(we won't name them here)....where they easily turn people away from whatever their focus might be.
That's not how you grow a hobby....or an industry.
Someone said the other day... "Please read the code of conduct. TL;DR? Be Good."
Man, that just sums it up right there. Be a good person. We wouldn't have half of the problems in the world if we were just good people. And I mean that "just" good. Set the bar low with "good". You can reach even higher for excellent, awesome, and amazing...
nocturne turtle
@waxen thistle Well said, it's really that simple. Be a good person, beyond just the time you spend on this server! π
peak bloom
@waxen thistle Absolutely! It's really cool to see a group of people that just love what they're doing, and want to share that enthusiasm with others. So many places it seems like people want to feel special. Here it just feels like people want to do and see cool stuff, and want to bring as many people on that journey as they can. I like that.

@lean grail Three 1U fans? A hover-gun? π
fallow fractal
I liked the live stream thank you soo much
lean grail
Hahahaha @analog acorn nahhhhh. I'm a fursuiter. and if you know anything about cosplay/costuming then you know it gets SUPER hot. So back in march i made a box of legos that had two 1U server fans and a big button and a lipo pack for power. and I carry it around for fun like a personal AC of sorts and anyone that wants some cool air briefly can have some. And i wanted to make a version out of a nerf gun somehow so i talked to my buddy to see if he'd be up for it. so that pic is what he came up with once he got the nerf gun in his hands!! so now im just waiting for it to return back to me so i can add in my electronics!
analog acorn
@lean grail Nice! That's a great idea!
lean grail
Hehehe thanks!! gimme a sec and I'll get some pics of my lego box!
@analog acorn
the legos are actually super glued into 3 separate parts so i can get to each part if need be to replace anything.
lean grail
Thank you!! it goes quite well with the blue-ness of my fursuit. its a giant BRICK to carry around. but thats why i added the nerf bandolier strap to it hahaha.
these 1U server fans are great at 12v though. with the lego box fan if i run it long enough you can feel the air from roughly 10 feet away!!
analog acorn
@lean grail Only slightly related - when the Sun 4/280 server came out there was an actual exhaust duct on the back for the airflow. We always wanted to put a "beware of jet blast" sticker on those....
lean grail
And if you didnt catch it, both the toggle switch and button are hot swappable/ bypassable by using deans connectors in there. probably a bit overkill and uses more resources but it makes it easy to quickly replace either part or even bypass them in the event that one gets messed up. Which ive actually had happen while at a convention.
@analog acorn Hahaha that sounds great!!
analog acorn
Sounds perfectly flexible
lean grail
yup!!! i make everything overkill like that but i wanna be able to fix it easily if need be! and especially when i dont have any tools around
shell mason
make nerfguns flexible
lean grail
Hahahaha
shell mason
you know what is more funnier "Make nerfguns flexible again!"
lean grail
Hahahahaha. i never remember them being flexible though
river peak
@lean grail Have you considered peltier devices for cooling the air? Not sure how effective it would be, and you'd end up with a nice and toasty heat sink on the other side...
lean grail
No i havent considered that. But i wouldnt wanna add something that generates heat like that. Faux fur isnt hard to melt. which is a BIG NO NO for my fursuit
id have to put the peltier device and heatsink inside the nerf gun which wouldnt be the best for the shell
analog acorn
I've used Petiers for active cooling on power converters for robotics. The hot side gets extremely hot! I ended up with custom heat sinks and fans just to deal with the waste heat....
lean grail
Yeahhhhhhh. dont wanna melt the faux fur. It apparently does a number on skin when it melts up against it
lethal lagoon
Cool project @lean grail - literally cool π we usually just put ice packs inside performer's costumes for stage, but they only wear them for short periods of time, not all day like cosplayers & fursuiters at cons
lean grail
hehehe thank you @lethal lagoon!! i also have a single fan from a block of 4 1U server fans that i use inside my suit head. that helps a TON, i usually run it at 5v but i recently got a voltage adjuster so i can run it anywhere from like 3v up to 55v or something dumb like that, but the fans are rated for 12v.
river peak
Fursuits are insane. It's like walking around in an oven all day long.
shell mason
inside cooling
lean grail
I have a decent fan i run anywhere between 5 and 12 volts
shell mason
you can have foam where is a fan so the fan is hide
lean grail
Oh ive got it already take care of :3
lean grail
So at the moment i have a usb A socket wired up to my teensy and then a custom usb A to usb A cable i made as well to go from my computer to the socket i wired to the teensy. The reason behind it is that i was going to mount the usb A socket onto the shell of the nerf gun then i could easily plug the gun into the computer and program/debug the teensy without having to take anything apart. But adafruit.com has diy microB plugs as well as a microB breakout with the power and data lines on it as well. Im not sure if i should keep my original idea or go with switching to the microB plug. I like the original idea of the usbA socket on there because its unique. but that also means i gotta have the unique cable to work with it unless i take it apart.
Anyone have a recommendation or thought on it?
river peak
@lean grail In the most practical sense, unique stuff is harder to repair or replace.
lean grail
this is true
river peak
If that USB-A to USB-A cable breaks, you have to make a new one instead of grabbing a different one.
That said!
Unique is also cool
lean grail
well yeah
river peak
And then you don't need any further custom hardware.
lean grail
this is true

rapid hornet
@lean grail @lament flume I think its mostly cost at the moment. Micro B connectors are very cheap
lean grail
probably
another one i wouldnt mind playing with is the magsafe plugs like on mac laptops. but the only way ive found them as diy parts is you gotta order a batch of 1000 minimum
lament flume
Cables can be bought with them, but they plug into micro USB
ive never seen just a loose connector
lean grail
for magsafe? id have to find it again
rapid hornet
@lean grail like this: https://www.adafruit.com/product/3547
lean grail
no not quite. like it was the actual connector and the socket (if thats what you wanna call it)
gimme a little bit and I'll find the link
peak bloom
I usually HATE when a new USB plug starts coming in, but I cannot wait until C becomes standard. It's so nice to not have to try and plug things in three times. once to question myself, second time to realize the first WAS right, and the third to actually get it plugged in...grrrrrr
river peak
Attempt to plug. Doesn't fit. Flip it over. REALLY doesn't fit. Flip it BACK over and make sure you have the right angle...
river peak
I've looked at the plug, looked at the cable, made sure it was the correct orientation, and STILL it refused to go in.
peak bloom
yeah, but I still go...."ok,was the white bit on top or bottom...well, I got it wrong last time, and I think this is right, so I'll try it the other way". It's really a coin toss on whether it's right or wrong
river peak
@lean grail I would recommend searching on AliExpress vs Alibaba. AliExpress generally has lower minimums - Often of just 1.
