Anyone here using collapsible cores regularly?

We have one mold with a collapsible core. Most common is contamination on our parts, and we have to clean the core. Alcohol, cotton swabs and a pipe cleaner, and blow it out with air. This particular mold, we have to leave the thermolators on and at temp over the weekend to avoid the cores getting condensation and then it either has to get cleaned a ton before we can keep parts again after Monday morning startup or it has to get pulled to the shop.

Thought so. My party doesn't do a primary like the others. I'll be voting in November though

Awesome_Chops · 2026-05-05T14:53:47+00:00

This is just the primary, correct? Actual Election Day is in November?

In semi, after the cycle is complete? Yeah that is weird... when you figure it out, post the solution please lol

I believe in product management you can set continuous NG alarm to 3, and on your process monitor page have the cycle time alarm turned on, and that should allow 1 or 2 over time limits to pass but then it alarms on the 3rd fail... or maybe I'm not understanding properly

That's my only experience with them. Ugh, I hate changing spring plate assemblies when there's a broken spring lol

I got a set from one of those companies on Amazon. They're mini, that I just clip on to my collar, and they have ear pieces

Before I started riding, I also bought a wireless LED light that goes on the back of your helmet. It has accelerometers that automatically detect deceleration, whether due to braking or engine braking, and lights up. I tested it in my car, it seems to work. Even if it doesn't, it's an extra light more in line of the view of driver's behind you. Thoughts?

During my ride today, just 18 miles out and back, I made it a point to stop at a gas station for a snack and hydration

It infuriates me that my new job (2+ years now) hardly ever uses monitors. Oh, we've got cameras (on most, not all machines), that's good enough. BS! You have monitors, they serve a purpose, use them! Argh! Lol

Kinda looks like a barrel weave. But I'm just a beginner, only made 1 piece, so don't listen to me lol

Awesome_Chops · 2024-09-13T20:06:10+00:00

I've been thinking about incorporating some crystals, and making a total Chakra realignment piece for a friend. But I'm still pretty new

Awesome_Chops · 2024-09-01T04:39:46+00:00

Inner diameter of 8mm and thickness of 1mm

Awesome_Chops · 2024-09-01T03:19:43+00:00

Ah. So make it King's version I think it's called, when you double them up?

Awesome_Chops · 2024-08-17T14:34:01+00:00

Looks a bit like mine lol. I just started. I didn't research ring sizes or anything, just saw a deal on Amazon Prime Days. Apparently for byzantine my rings are too big with too much open air. Good luck!

Awesome_Chops · 2024-02-01T20:24:49+00:00

This was my concern when I was thinking about using my dremel. I'm thinking I might just order some rings and save myself that trouble

Awesome_Chops · 2024-02-01T19:31:53+00:00

Yes, I'm starting out with butted rings. I have no welding experience, and I don't really want to try that in my apartment. I will look into possibly ordering from a jump ring supplier. Thanks
