not much more expensive for a decent helmet

people do welding! amazing.

not being sarcastic but it's not exactly a

i accidently shone a class 3 laser pointer into one eye, its fucked now <:chaika:232792149874311168>

an easy thing

@cjharmer73 are you retarded?

yes

but it was accident

well it was an accident

dont blame me, it was my stupid brain

in all its apelike glory

https://www.harborfreight.com/80-amp-inverter-stick-welder-61749.html you think something like this? realistically I only need like 4 beads at least a foot long each

looks good

can you actually weld well, or is it the sort of job you dont need precision on?

I'm kind of eyeballing it. I just need to weld a plate on the bottom of the battery box, and a small mount for other electronics in the front triangle

how much welding have you done before?

I took a shop class in high school, it was mostly steel welding with a MIG, not a stick

It was a fair bit though

well buy a big packet of sticks and practice a bit, its hard to do curves, becuase metal sticks

good luck with it, try not to burn, blind or electrocute yourself

or some combination of the 3

reeee

my pi hole has come up with an interdasting discovery

why do you have ghostery blocked?

oh what

I can bet you it's a cheap ESC, a repurposed quadcopter motor, and a bunch of ready-to-explode 18650's

abso-fucking-lutely

oh shit, even worse, it's got fake headway cells inside

and a DC brushed motor, what a POS

and some shady fuck is selling it on facebook for NZD$40 a piece

it probably costs less than $5 to make these. the injected molded plastic housing is pennies on the dollar, the electronics are probably less than $2, and the battery is $0.50.
