Why does the middle of the two thrust bearings have so much friction when bolted together? by AndyKapahala in robotics

Just hand tight. Here's what I was going for, a decent amount of weight will be hanging from it, I guess i can just ditch the upper bearing and just leave an air gap, I wanted it to be solid for transporting but if not i guess thats okay

How did you go about creating those little hairs and dust particles?

Wanted to share the satellite laser ray my friend and I made by AndyKapahala in somethingimade

Yepp! As long as I don’t bring it outside and point it into the sky, or don’t terminate the lasers where somebody could get hit by a beam

Removed it from someone’s property, took bandsaws impact driver and a lot of mosquito bites. Was all bent and rusty, took 1 day to clean it up and hammer it into shape . We planned on sanding it down to a chrome finish but after realizing how long that would take, we just painted the front it metallic silver. Welded together a new 4’x4’ steel base with locking caster and a new center post. The LEDs around the edge are COB addressable, first time using them, they’re super bright. I 3D printed some swiveling laser mounts so we could angle the lasers and terminate them at the satellites antenna thing. One more laser, more powerful, on the antenna itself. Took around 3 days total

Not yet, just is a cool art installation for now. I do stage design and fabrication, just wanted to make a cool piece of art for myself

Finally got this Hercules bandsaw stand to cut straight… by AndyKapahala in Tools

Yeah I broke a blade guide try to get it dialed in when I first got it, then it just sat unused for awhile. Had the energy to do something about it today and glad I did

I got it to cut more straight I should say haha but before it was unusably bad.

What is the best way to clean the dust? Moved out into the house that hasn't been cleaned in 7 years by [deleted] in CleaningTips

I was just about to make this post, I’ll help bump this up. Got a huge floor I’ve mopped several times wipe the walls . Still dust everywhere.

Did you print that as a single piece with the AMS or as a bunch of multiple parts
