As a little update I messaged the seller about my messed up nickel order and they said they will send me another package, hopefully I will get my nickel balls this time and not a big shard of Selenium or something. Pick posted:Looking to sell that indium? I'm in the market. You aren't planning on chewing on it are you? otherwise shoot me a pm if you want me to mail you a chunk.

I went looking for a particular carving bit for my rotary tool but instead I found the deadliest angle grinder attachment https://www.aliexpress.com/item/80-...sAbTest=ae803_4 I have not done the math But I am pretty sure that if one of those blades came off at full speed it would go clean through you.

King Kambrook posted:Super weird question, but how much does it weigh? I'm honestly considering buying one myself to use as a weapon on a small battlebot. (Which I would only spin up by remote control in a polycarbonate test box because holy poo poo.) The tool weighs 325 grams with the blades on and each blade weighs about 11 grams, I don't know how to embed imgur clips yet so have a link https://i.imgur.com/pIC5iJN.mp4 I won't be doing any carving with it until I can put together enough protective equipment to use it without risking serious injury from a loose tooth, maybe 2.5mm steel plate for the body and 20mm polycarbonate for the face

I picked an AGM m1 "rugged phone" last year and I have not had any issues with it however it is pretty much just a dumbphone. I recently bought one of these https://www.aliexpress.com/item/327...rchweb201603_55, it's actually pretty nice probably because it's a clone of a fancy razor that had the patent expire,

One method is to get some cheap mountain bike tires, cut the sidewalls off then take the tread section and wrap it around the outside of the old wheel, cut it to length then attach the tread section onto the outside of the wheel with wood screws, If that does not work out it looks like you can get adapters to fit new wheels on Ali https://www.aliexpress.com/item/329...847433465%22%7D

I had a look and the single most expensive thing I have bought off ali was a good working lto-5 tape drive for $393 (AUD), I think I snagged a bargain with that one since the listed price jumped up by something like $100 after I got it, more recently I picked up one of those weird industrial pc boards to toy with for $287 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32783635667.html?spm=a2g0o.9042311.0.0.4a8e4c4darVRoK greedy thing stole all the serial ports.

I clear my cookies often and try to avoid browsing while logged in if I can to cut down on the janky recommendations, you can't avoid them for stuff you buy but I find it also helps a lot if you are trying to find the right search term for a particular item, I bought a respirator and some filters early on in the pandemic and even now I still get the odd email recommendation for really weird bondage gear.

Kintamarama posted:I just saw in the newest ALDI special buy catalogue here Downunder that there is a soldering iron kit for AU$29.99. Anyone know how this would compare to anything recommendable on AliExpress? Gas irons generally aren't great for anything beyond the odd field repair where the portability is useful. I got a 90 watt PX-988 from ali a while ago and it's been pretty solid little iron, it can take a large variety of tips the heating element is replaceable and it has reasonable temperature control https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100...380248791%21sea Keep in mind that if you are planning on using lead free solder you will want iron coated tips since plain copper ones will get eaten up by alloying with the solder.

If you want the budget option go for the px-988 I linked in my last post it's only like AU$40 including the shipping from what I can see. I found video showing it off https://youtu.be/QIdkzoa5IGs you can fit Hakko tips on it if you want to upgrade it somewhat.

I don't have any brands in mind if that's what you are asking but if you are asking about tip shapes then a medium and a small of bevel tip and chisel tip are all I have ever needed if that helps. Those integrated tips work great it's just a shame that you can't buy a big variety pack to see what you like without having to fork out a couple of hundred bucks.

One of the common mods I have seen for cheap calipers is to glue a 2 x aaa battery holder onto the backside and wire it into the coin cell socket sometimes adding a switch, now that I think about it the batteries from one of those new rechargeable wireless earbuds would be an ideal candidate for a coin cell replacement.

mycelia posted:Anyone ever tried the massage gun thingies they sell on Ali? I'm getting a bunch of ads for them, and I'd really like one, but my most adventurous Ali purchase has been moulds for my wife's pandemic soap-making phase. (Verdict: perfectly fine, but I didn't read the sizes properly so a bunch are weirdly small.) Last time I got to try out one of those massage guns I thought "hmm this is a lot like a jigsaw with a ball on it" so I checked out ali and what do you know they have massage gun ends for jigsaws. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100...id=D6vBZZdwFvLkThere is no way in hell I'd trust those things on a jigsaw I just thought it was neat that someone thought to try making them instead of yet another dildo attachment.

I'm looking at something like this: You might want to add how much weight you are planning to put on it, the one you linked to on ali only looks strong enough for displaying a few gundams and nothing else. If you need strong shelves search around the second hand market you can sometimes find old store racking being sold off for cheap.

My electric water bottles arrived, after filling one up and replacing the flex on the charging plug it came with it warmed up quite nicely. Even though you are not supposed to use it while plugged in I was curious about the potential for capacitive coupling so I placed it on a metal plate while it was heating and got about 50 volts on the meter between the plate and ground and no measurable amperage at least as far as my multimeter can detect, overall I am quite happy with it.

All this dremel talk reminded me that I've been in desperate need of an electric die grinder, I'm gonna take a punt on some $80 herzo brand one I found on ali, I can't find any locally under $600 which is crazy since they are basically just a $60 angle grinder minus the angle part.
