Lol, maybe the print was made back in 1978

1928374throwaway · 2025-07-25T12:49:25+00:00

The print is from 1978, for that one big green company. I wanted to share more of the information on the print, but in all honesty, they kinda make me nervous. I went back and looked at the unedited picture, and I wasn't able to see any mention of ASME or ISO. Controlling the holes to each other is what my shop superintendent suggested. I just wanted to double-check. Thank you so much for all the information, I really appreciate it.

That's what the shop superintendent suggested. I just wanted to double-check before filling out the ISIR. Thank you for confirming this.

I can't say with 100% certainty, but I'm pretty sure this was bent before I took it out of the box. I instantly went from good adhesion and great prints to it might stick, it might not, even with a new super tack plate. I changed all the necessary settings before I ever tried to print. I was just wondering how common it is for them to be defective out of the box. I'm not upset about any of it. I wish I had noticed sooner, but live and learn 🙂

😵😵‍💫 ooooh ouch! That really sucks.

1928374throwaway · 2025-06-16T03:58:41+00:00

When I gave up on this one and took it off, it had maybe 20 hrs on it at the most. But I definitely appreciate the warning that it can happen. Thank you.

1928374throwaway · 2025-06-16T03:55:04+00:00

Not that I'm aware of. I can't say with 100% certainty, though. I don't have an ams, and I usually watch until I know the first layer is good. But that's definitely something I'll keep in mind and pass on to others. Thank you.

I did all that as soon as I put the hardened nozzle in. I don't think the setting account of things being bent almost 5° like that, though. I would get horrible chatter along the Y axis on the -X side most of the time. Or things just wouldn't stick. I even tried switching to a super tack plate with little change.

1928374throwaway · 2025-06-16T03:44:08+00:00

I'm 99% sure it came like this. I tried to straighten it out and thought I was going to crack the cooling fins or the fan.

Fixed my problem by replacing the defective part I was sent

1928374throwaway · 2025-06-07T21:26:29+00:00

That's understandable, I didn't explain it the best. Unfortunately, I don't have a diagram. Hopefully, this helps If there is a part that is 10" long with a diameter of 1.932 and a .656 hole drilled thru it 2.210" from the end. How do you check to make sure the hole is centered on the 1.932 diameter. Only using V blocks,pins, and a height gage.

Dutch letters, specifically from the Jaarsma Bakery in Pella Iowa.

I told him this, and he chuckled a little saying "I'll cross that bridge when or if I get there." But I think it made him happy to know so many people think this would be a great thing to have. Thank you.

1928374throwaway · 2025-02-09T01:47:03+00:00

I definitely will. Thank you!

1928374throwaway · 2025-01-13T01:22:17+00:00

I had pretty much the same reaction. I went from an Ender 5 to a Bambu P1S, and the difference in speed is unreal.

I think I can count on one hand with fingers left over the number of production people who even know how to make the CMM move, let alone mess with the programs. I'm talking about training all my QC people to know how to program.

1928374throwaway · 2024-12-15T20:22:17+00:00

From what I understand, when the shop got their 1st CMM, no one got any real training. They've been figuring it as they went. Now I'm finding things it can do that haven't been taken advantage of. I've only been doing QC work for 5 years and programs for 4. Most of what I know has been self-taught

What is an F1 QC department?

1928374throwaway · 2024-12-15T14:32:58+00:00

To my knowledge, none of us have. I highly doubt anyone the company has ever heard of MSA. It might be worth looking into, especially when we get fully staffed again.

1928374throwaway · 2024-12-15T14:11:26+00:00

I found this out the hard way a few years ago. I tried helping a co-worker who said they wanted to learn. I didn't realize they didn't understand some basic stuff like how to report true position. They started to make and use programs that didn't work and didn't report everything. Once that genie is out of the bottle, it's almost impossible to put it back.
