But if they can't leave the kitchen, how can do they do the rest of the housework?

Go make me a sandwich

I'm pretty sure rape is not considered to be a "crime of opportunity"

I want to buy a 3D printer.
Want to spend around $300, DIY assembly required is fine, actually preferred. Advice? So far I have been thinking of an aluminum prusa i3 clone of some sort. |

My positive battery terminal clamp is no longer tight around the post of the battery when screwed all the way down. Right now I have a copper shim in there that makes about 320° of contact between the post and clamp but that is obviously not a long term solution. What is the "correct" way to fix this? |
replace the terminal clamp
|
Well yeah, that is the goal here but all I've seen are shitty bolt on ones. There has to be a better way.

bolt on to terminal or to wire?

https://www.delcity.net/images/photo...mary_225px.jpg Does not inspire confidence and do not feel/look like a permanent solution. I probably need to buy somthing like this: https://www.delcity.net/images/photo...mary_225px.jpg But then I'd need some sort of big ass monster crimper to get it onto the wire. I'd prefer not not to buy a $75 tool to crimp down a $3 terminal for a one shot job. I was hoping someone knew of something in between the two. |
I just googled "crimp on battery terminals"
bro the amount of hits with decent looking parts is higher than the mount of times Scott dressed up his cats for a photoshoot and they're cheap like hustlers mom |
See above about crimper. Maybe Harbor Freight sells one?
|
Use Pliers
I dud did it bepho, worked fine |
Pliers or hammer and blunt chisel to get a W-crimp in there.
|
Go with the bolt on, much safer than screwing around with crimping, unless you solder it.

Ian has a gigantic hydraulic crimper

You're all a bunch of noobs...
Buy one of these two, depending upon gauge and quantity of wire: https://www.delcity.net/store/Straig...minals/p_14265 https://www.delcity.net/store/Straig...5.h_792479.t_1 https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...c5df76486c.png Then crimp dat bitch: https://www.parts-express.com/12-ton...0-awg--360-648 https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...a768950b02.png https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...b08b1a0db9.png |
