I was thinking the same thing, lead based is a "no no" for stills. That def's looks like plumbers solder to me.

Nah, you dont want lead in contact with your juice. Most silicone sealers are ruled out because of the acetic acid cure. Maybe aquarium safe silicone, usually if its safe for fish it should be okay for us. Brazing would be to fiddly on such a small part. Seems like wood aka toothpick is your...

+1 on bad batt choice, although I see a Sanyo NCR20700 which is rated at 15A. However you're trying to suck 23A out of it which is a disaster waiting to happen. There's a reason most veterans harp on learning the ohms law to noobs, its so you don't end up in this scenario which could likely...

I havent had an issue with my pc either, just took a peek inside and didnt see any droplets or feel any greasiness. My pc is black, but metal, so the outer and inner surfaces are pretty similar temp wise. Im of the opinion that its limited to black plastic cases with hot components inside, my...

Im very similar, 13ml, 70/30 and 8hrs + in front of the pc. @Resistance Im thinking of either aquarium mat, breather cloth used for epoxy vacuum bagging or sheet foam filter used for bikes. The issue is finding a fan that has enough static pressure to operate without sounding like an airport...

Alas neither the ups or monitor have fans, covering the vent slits might heat internals up enough to cause early failure. Theres plenty of 3D printed "solder fume extractor's" on thingyverse, for what its worth. @Munro31 I use a Citadel at 35w, so not exactly a cloud beast.

Thanks for the input, nice to see its not just me, I originally thought a cap had blown in my monitor and searched hi n low to no avail. My ups is just above the monitor and receives a direct exhale, but its a bedroom corner and an extractor fan is just going to add noise and allow dust in. I'll...

Ive been busy mostly with kites, a new Rokkaku, the ups was something I got into today, no wind and having a slow one. :) Batts are sealed lead acid 12v 7.2Ah the kind used for alarms garage gates etc.

Anybody else notice what appears and feels like VG condensate inside electronics ? Both my UPS and monitor had the same slippery beads of VG inside. I opened my my UPS because it wasnt UPS'ing anymore, I dont yet know if the batts are dead or if the VG condensate has killed it... old batts read...

Was up the West coast today, so I took my rig along for a try out, I guess 100m isnt too shabby, so I'll live with it seeing as I havent found any alternatives. Langebaan main beach looking south to Pearly's.

Thanks, I'll look into that. Hopefully its at least 30kg like the lacing twine Ive used.

I was busy this past week on the sewing machine making a delta kite. I've been a tad disappointed with the tendency of my box kites to dive to the right with the last failure taking my camera into the sea. So new camera means new kite.:) Most of the KAPers seem to use a 2M delta so that's what...

podding The act of stealing or moving files, sharing music or doing other illegal activity on or with your iPod. Pod, a small group of animals ie whales or dolphins Maybe you meant pondering. Anyhow, Argus GT maybe best bet, although Im quite impressed by my Gen even though its a Vaporesso.

Vat hom Fanie. :) We had to be in bed when it finished, but my older brother was allowed to stay up for the next one which was Creaking Door if I remember it right.

Maybe the sadly discontinued Dr Crimmys Banana pudding?

Might want to have a look at CHDK for Canon, I know that my A480 supports motion detection to the order of 127 micro secs, used for lightning capture.
