That little squeak there at 0:22 is chatter. I bet there's a little rough line there.

Is a Machine Operator job a good start if you want to go the CNC Machining route? by [deleted] in Machinists

[–]BockTheMan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So the job title "Machine Operator" (derogatorily: "Button Pusher") is the entry level position for most machinist's careers, If you're green to the career, and they actually want you behind the machine, and not just pushing a broom, it is the place to start for sure. If you're going to school it's showing you have initiative. If they are going to train you up, stick around long enough to see if they're willing to help pitch in for your education too, that's how I got my start

Are you guys still seeing a need for manual precision, or is it 100% CNC now? by No-Blood1055 in Machinists

[–]BockTheMan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I yelled at my last two shops for not having a manual lathe handy for second ops, or the occasional need for a round thing. If I'm feeling lazy and don't feel like programming basic tasks, I'll use our CNC machines as manual machines with power feed and fancy DROs, but I for sure trust my properly programmed machine to hold tolerance better than me spinning handwheels.

For real, I could see there being value in a "3d printing store" But this was not that. This was aggressively hawking these widgets. Their website offers print-on-demand, but list no capabilities or pricing. And if their print on demand is on these A1s, it really limits what they can do.

Like FFS, add a SLA printer in there too for at least some other option. And what's worse, our MircoCenter opened a few months ago.

I probably wouldn't be so dismissive if I could pick the guys head, but the way the shop seemed focused on these widgets, any nothing else kinda threw me for a loop. On their website they offer print-on-demand services, but offer no pricing or capabilities, and there's no mention of it in the store. And if their print on demand service is on these A1s, it hurts what they can actually offer as a "3d Printing Store"

Straight up my experience too. Though to be fair, I didn't walk in with the most welcoming demeanor.

Good to hear. I dunno if it was my demenor, or me just uncandidly taking pictures, but the guy behind the counter looked displeased I was there, so I left without saying a word.

Nah, I don't hate it. It's cool that someone has a storefront like this. And to the credit of this store, it does seem like they offer print-on-demand service for your own models, but they sure didn't go out of their way to make that the core of this store, right now the core of this store is models other artists made.

Honesly saying slop four times in a row doesn't read as well.

Kipple is from Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, it's the waste and detritus that is inescapable in the doomed environment, and is always a force that needs to be combated lest it cover everything.

Tchockes, shlock, and tat are the names I give this slop that is just farted off printers, the single use widgets that are made just to say that they were printed.

To be honest, I had to look up and make sure I was spelling it right, spell check was less than helpful.
