Built it on a whim, first time with little to no clue what I was doing. It technically works, I mean it's shit but it runs, it will most likely never get to tattoo anyone, I just wanted to see if I could do it. It was good fun, and I might do it again some time with proper materials and not just random crap I found in my workshop.
I've always been a maker. A week ago I was looking around the workshop for a new project and found a big spool of enamelled wire and it spiraled from there. Trying to challenge myself to only build from things I have on hand.
I think I have almost everything figured out now and going to cut out the frame today. Wish me luck.
I'm likely to post some pictures/clips when it's done.
Alcune delle mie macchine, vari costruttori e alcune autocostruite
I bought 2 machines off of someone in MAY and they STILL have not sent them to me. At first they were having medical issues & I completely understood that, now it’s been MONTHS and they keep making excuses as to why they can’t send when they DO talk to me (there’s been weeks in between conversations, it’s usually me persistently messaging 1 time every other day or so & then them randomly messaging back 1-3weeks apart from their last response)
I paid them through Venmo so I’m thinking about maybe reporting the transaction as scam or fraud? Or potentially sending Venmo screenshots of my interaction with this person? I’ve also thought about reaching out to our mutuals or their friends? But, Idk what else to do or if I have any better options. Any advice on the situation is appreciated.
Trying to learn more about coils. My machine gets hot. Sometimes after a longer session it almost burns me. Can’t figure out why.
I used to line at 7.2 volts now I need to run it around 8-9 volts to get clean lines but it gets really hot after a longer session. I don’t know much about coils but would really love to learn.
When this machine works fine i’ts absolutely the best so I would love to learn how to fix and maintain it. Still pulls good lines but can’t stand the heat…
Where do you source yours? I'll avoid Amazon if I can.
There is a small electronic store that I normally buy from, however it's usually enough for one set of cores, and has irregular shipments.
I'm making a small batch of machines, so I'd like to buy a bigger spool
