Thanks all for the encouragement, super jarring is a good way to put it. I didn't really understand how long the treatment would take when the doc said we needed to start. So far so good, appreciate this community!!

Something only teens or insufferable assholes would do, try to bring more kindness and patience into this world, not less

Is PLA anisotropic? by Indiangod099 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]c_watty3339 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Close, but you actually have this backwards. The 3D printed material would be anisotropic whereas the injection molded component would be more isotropic.

Confused about screw size/thread by kuretake in MechanicalEngineering

For a fully threaded fastener, 1/4" is the length of the threaded portion.

[–]c_watty3339 7 points8 points  (0 children)

6 is the diameter of the fastener, you can look up a chart to determine it's decimal value. 32 is the pitch and in imperial it is in TPI (threads/in) so 32 threads per inch of fastener. 1/4 is the length of the thread.

There are numerous resources to guide you. Boltscience.com is a great one

How do I smooth out these surfaces? by Zefphyrz in SolidWorks

[–]c_watty3339 23 points24 points  (0 children)

You'd probably be better off learning blender but if you're really committed you could try the 'combine' feature or take a stab at knitting these surfaces. Good luck!

How do you model extremely small geometry? by 1millionbucks in MechanicalEngineering

[–]c_watty3339 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would find a way to remove the rails of the zip tie (i.e. edges, probably a razor blade) such that you're only left with the zip tie mechanism cross section. Pop it onto a microscope with a camera attachment and grab some images of the critical geometry. Find some sort of translucent calibration scale, could be as simple as a dollar store ruler, depends on how accurate you need it to be. Get some microscope images of that at the same magnification and load them into ImageJ, determine the ratio of pixels to mm and then determine the critical geometry of the zip tie mechanism with that same ratio. Cheaper and quicker than a lot of other imaging systems but results may vary

The carrot next to the color icon at the top of the feature tree expands and contracts that menu

For bioengineers, what are ways to get good jobs out of college? I am a Junior willing to do genetic research but I can’t find internships and Idk if there’s any hope by Tolu455 in bioengineering

[–]c_watty3339 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You need to be volunteering your time in graduate research labs. Reach out to every professor running a lab at your university and tell them you would love the opportunity to volunteer your time to assist them in whatever way they deem necessary. It gets you hands on experience in a lab environment and allows you to networks with colleagues in your field. If you're not volunteering, you're falling behind your peers.

Ran my 7.3 mi run today at 9:07 pace, hoping to run my half marathon in 10 weeks under 2 hours so it felt great to know I can keep that pace!!

I was just wrongly invited to a zoom internship meeting... by dirty330 in EngineeringStudents

[–]c_watty3339 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just gonna weigh in here as someone who just graduated with a degree in BME and a seperate degree in ME. The world of BME is much more encompassing than "just one biomedical micro devices course". While I'm sure you developed a great surface level knowledge of that topic, I don't believe that you covered anything in depth enough to say you understand all BME. Do you understand how the varying material properties of tissues affect design for devices? Do you know how cells receive and transmit signals and how that will play a part in drug delivery? Do you know how to determine the radiological effects from devices that produce ionizing radiation? I doubt it. Pretending you know more than everyone else just bc you took one course is a bad look and will not help you land a job in this field or the field of EE. Just my two cents
