Hey Jeff, sorry for the delay. I've found another hosting solution for adding images, though I would recommend users finding their own hosting alternatives to ensure content doesnt get purged. You can click the 'add attachment' button and anything you post will go to our forum's file storage and should be safe from being deleted, but it can become costly as the need arises to add on storage space. I have considered migrating what I can to a new system, but if I were to do that, I would want to engineer that soulution from the ground up so it will better suit our needs. In any case, there is now a new button that uses a different image host. Its pretty easy to use, just click it, drag an image to it, then upload and it will automatically add the link to your post. Cheers!

Until I can find another decent embeddable resource, postimages.org/ will allow you to post an image for free and copy the generated link. I'm still on the hunt for a better solution. Hopefully I can get some time away from work this weekend.

Looked into it and it looks like something is broken on their side, unfortunately. I'm looking into alternatives.

Hi John. There shouldnt be any limits that would cause this kind of error. It sounds like your session expired based on the amount of time you spent constructing the post. Unfortunately, nothing was actually sent as a result of the error, so there isnt anything I can do to recover it. Going forward, if you anticipate spending an extended period of time writing a long post, I would HIGHLY recommend writing it up in a text editor on your computer(like microsoft word), saving as you go along, or add your post early on, then add edit or reply with additional info. That will protect a lot of your work in the result of a site error or if you lose power while working on it.

I have had good experiences with LiFe batteries. They last forever if you store them at 75% charge, charge on a balancer, and keep them cool (shouldnt be hard for you, Anders) I've got a little 9amp/hour 12v LiFe that has been powering random projects for about 5 years and its still holding charge like the day I bought it.

Nice find on the overdraw on the battery. Issues like that can be a beast to find. Lately, my projects have become smaller by comparison, but I've grown to use ~12v LFP batteries to cut down on weight. I look forward to seeing the next video!

microturbine711 I could still set this additional channel up if there was enough interest. For now, I'm leaning towards avoiding channel bloat where new users are overwhelmed by the number of options.

Just profiling the traffic, about 10 - 15% of the guests are actually web-crawling bots. The rest are either lurkers or someone arriving at a specific article from a web search.

I was assuming your tank would be a flanged cylinder. The rear flange would go to the valve and nozzle. The forward flange would have a feedthrough for electrical. Theres some decent flanged feedthroughs floating around designed for high pressure application. I suppose its a matter of luck running across a good one at a reasonable price. I'm looking into flanged HV feedthroughs for ultra high vac now and they arent cheap, even in used condition. Just something to consider though.

You could always make some heating elements for the inside of the tank.

It would be interesting to see built, no doubt. I'm not sure how well it would work in all honesty, but make sure you take video

Nice lathe! One day I'll be able to afford one and explain why we need one to my wife

Hi johnf,
Many members of our community use Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or other popular controllers because they are easy and cheap to acquire and its not too difficult to find coding support for whatever you need to do. Combined with a few relays/mosfets, these little controllers can do just about anything you need them to.
