CH003: DESK -- Video Out Now

https://www.youtube.com/@ALMA.Industries

New Video -- Chapter 3 DESK -- converting an old bunk bed into a work station. DIY actuators, AC/DC power supplies, rail guided shelves, infinite cable trays -- video link above!

If you know of anyone who likes Mechatronics or things made from the ground up, I would appreciate the share! Leave a comment if you have a question :)

New video TOMORROW. It will be about building a desk meant for all things projects. The actuator buildup in an earlier video will be mounted onto the desk and used for various things -- check it out and subscribe to see how it works!

ALMA Industries: DESK video coming soon!

https://www.youtube.com/@ALMA.Industries

Alma Industries | mechatronics, engineering, 3D Printing, salvaging . . . upcoming video will be about building up a DESK that includes actuators, power supplies, desk rails, etc. If you wanna see how the AC/DC power supply and actuators were put together, video link is above :)

AC/DC All in One Place

https://www.youtube.com/@ALMA.Industries

This is a control interface for using AC and DC power in one place. Switches turn 3 different DC power supplies on and off (48v, 12v, 24v). AC Outlets always give power regardless of switch states. This is gonna be part of my next video, where this is mounted on a desk build. Full video goes through all stages of build.

Gotta Start Somewhere! ALMA Industries

https://www.youtube.com/@ALMA.Industries

Hello Everyone! I like making stuff from start to finish, and periodically upload my work to YouTube. I like when things have 'order' to them--so I call my videos Chapters. If Engineering, Mechatronics, Controls, Physics, 3D printing, fabrication or just seeing how things work from the ground up is interesting to you--the channel might be right for you--if you know of anyone else that might be interested in this stuff, sharing to others would really help me out! Hope to see you around here or YouTube :)

CH003 FN2: POWER

I put together a control panel linked to AC / DC power supplies. Switches, Variable DC, 120V -- one of the more useful things I have put together. This will be used in a desk I am building which will be seen in the next video... Full video in link!

1987 Yamaha Virago xv535 Oil Leak Metal Crack Repair

I bought this used, and noticed a very slow oil leak. After looking at the engine housing, I noticed a repair that someone tried to do. Anyone know what material they added? See the below photos, starting at the *RED ARROW*. Looks rough on the outside but on the inside its this smooth brownish paste. Any recommendations are welcome, I am here to learn.

1 - Cover (left side/leg of bike)

2 - Cover removed (repair someone did bottom left)

3 - Outside of repair (rougher texture someone added... might be same as inside just exposed to different elements)

4 - Inside of repair (brownish smooth paste texture)

5 - Zoom on potential leak?

Any recommendations on the fix? I have basic tools. Dremel. Heat Gun. I was thinking of dremeling this down and adding more of whatever paste this is. Someone online suggested JB-Weld 37901 ExtremeHeat High Temperature Resistant Metallic Paste

https://www.amazon.com/J-B-Weld-37901-Temperature-Resistant/dp/B01IBOBY74/ref=sr_1_2?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.eykfL9Hxwc5s4miyxLifPB8AshQFlyHW_YmAP90PjPNjfnezrkhO2BiFQtDr62xMk3UqFPQsPgftw8EoaEbfyMg5yx_aO2GXA143WGUsf36oEKBD0fcf_nPsVhu1i1soampHDdfznWhUqvimyGx_TSE8nOI_S00tvBIKPmxKPyHA6GPTz1yiu-qf7oVuHcr09HZngKtVNNU7Canam58OpopebF0NbLT1GAJjg0iWH6U.mUdmV1q1-SUdImON7e6KqY-vMrmX7mc-YjwzQU9Izh8&dib_tag=se&keywords=jbweld%2Bhigh%2Btemp&qid=1781461533&sr=8-2&th=1

On top of this, I know I need a new Gasket for the Crankcase Cover 1 (item 2 here). This might even be the issue as this gasket fell apart completely when taking the cover off.

Chapter 2, a home theatre, 3D printed parts, motorized projector, home decoration, and DIY electronics -- I spent alot of time figuring out how to control different actuators and such via microcontroller to control the tilt, roll, pitch, and translation of a projector. If you know of anyone else that might be interested in this stuff, sharing to others would really help me out! Hope to see you around here or YouTube :)
