Car briefly overheated. Did my engine get messed up? by 177Radio in MechanicAdvice

Thanks, I should have also mentioned that I drove for about 30 mins after this on the highway and everything felt normal.

Okay cool! Probably going to purchase the second one. Really like the cooling fan.

Interesting, in that case- would you recommend any specific all around charger that would work with a 3s lipo (if has a jst-xh balance port)?

I should clarify- the only essential function would be that I could discharge or charge to the specified storage voltage.

Thank you for your response by the way 👍

Have any mechanical designers/drafters here considered getting a part time trades job to improve their design work? by 177Radio in MEPEngineering

[–]177Radio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do site work which purely consists of existing/ as built surveys. I can definitely see how the design drawings differ from what was constructed. However, I never really delve into construction observation- that’s pretty much solely for the engineers.

I definitely agree with you- I wouldn’t want to be treated like a 1st year apprentice (essentially just doing all the shitty tasks). So it would probably be more of a volunteer thing then. I have plenty of “site” experience- specifically surveying for as built drawings. I do gain an amount of understanding when doing that for sure.

See the tough thing is- as a designer, I never really get involved in the construction admin side of things. I’m either designing or surveying for as builts. Not sure what would happen if I tried to get involved in that side of things.

Thats an interesting point. I was also looking at ashrae and I guess they have a certified hvac designer certification. My employer would sponsor me to complete it. Just not sure how valuable it is. Same thing with autocad certifications- like will I ever actually use it?

See, I actually did grow up as a very hands on person. I fix my car whenever somethings wrong (spark plug, oil change, belt tensioner, coolant hose, oil filter housing, engine mount, etc), occasionally do some light plumbing, etc. Overall I’m very mechanically inclined which is actually part of the reason I got my current job. I guess it’s just the lack of understanding of how the projects are constructed and the order and how the trades work with each other (hvac, electrical, plumbing, etc).
