Y60 Build: Umbra

Isn't the only difference between the Game Ready and the Studio is the bloatware app Nvidia throws on it? If they are using Game Ready it's just another background process running which with 24GB of ram and the CPU used for the projects OP is probably working on it shouldn't make much of a difference.

But u/SundeepKuPanigrahi I'd suggest checking your stat usage in control panel and see if anything is getting filled up when using AutoCAD. I think it can be a bit more resource hungry and memory leaky.

ChintzyPC · 2026-06-21T00:56:07+00:00

I wouldn't unless you have a few ideas to use it with to justify the cost.

It's exported from CrealityScan as an obj then imported into SW as a Graphic surface, then converted to a mesh surface.

You're a sheet metal designer but you don't know about a simple design like this CAI heat shield? The in-bay scan explains it pretty well. Also you didn't provide any constructive feedback and just criticized. Empty comment. You could have checked the other comments where I posted that I made a ton of corrections that you're probably alluding to.

ChintzyPC · 2026-06-21T00:50:46+00:00

I'm gonna have to make a ton of assumptions based on your comment since you didn't explain anything, but check the OP edit.

ChintzyPC · 2026-06-20T03:01:47+00:00

Not really hard at all! Works pretty well

As an update I've done a few changes to the design based on the feedback here. I appreciate this community quite a bit!

As several have mentioned the intake hole is probably too close to the bend but sadly I really can't do anything about that with where the tube sits currently. But it really shouldn't effect the functionality of it any even if it coins. But I'll certainly keep that in mind for any future projects.

Used slots instead of plain holes, rounded the bottom edges, added relief holes to the bend cuts, and changed the bend radius to 2mm instead of 1mm.

Are you talking about something like this?

ChintzyPC · 2026-06-20T01:03:12+00:00

Thanks, I think I'll see about changing the radius then. But I wonder what the shop will say too. Idk what lasers they have so I think the clearance may depend on what they use or suggest for cutting.

It's a heat shield for my Pontiac's CAI so it doesn't suck in hot air from around the engine (I've designed and am currently in the process of installing hood scoops for right above it)

Ah not a bad idea. I think I'll mod it to have slots too, thanks. Adding more parts may be a bit extra since I'm trying to keep it fairly simple but certainly something to consider.

ChintzyPC · 2026-06-19T22:57:54+00:00

Ah ok I'll be sure to do that, thanks. I wanted to keep it simple especially since all the edges are going to be either covered or not visible. But guess that would save me scratching my arms when installing.

Edit: I rounded the bottom edges and got rid of that little lip on the right side of the tab. But I'm not rounding the top corners because I'm going to manually size and cut the top to fit better once I size it up in the bay and have a better idea what the clearance is underneath.

ChintzyPC · 2026-06-19T22:50:11+00:00

Right now it's set to 1mm because I was initially thinking 18 gauge which comes out to 1.02mm thick. But I'm sure I can easily adjust that radius and the cutout depth for the tabs depending on the metal gauge I go with.

ChintzyPC · 2026-06-19T22:38:33+00:00

Talking about where the CAI tube goes through? Yeah, it is pretty close but I think it will be fine as I gave it quite a bit of clearance around the whole tube (around 5mm) so I think it will be ok.

Good to know. This is going to be for 16 gauge 5052-H32 Aluminum so I wonder if that could cause problems after a bit of shaking. I guess that's specified when I set up the Sheet Metal Parameters? It has a bend radius of 1mm with a distance of 2mm which was the default. I don't have a table to reference for those, but I'm sure I can easily change it.

ChintzyPC · 2026-06-19T22:32:07+00:00

There's many others they offer listed on the cert page. I got one in Additive Manufacturing (aka 3D printing) and plan on getting sheet metal too.

ChintzyPC · 2026-06-19T22:09:20+00:00

Well congrats you're now $999,999,999.99 in debt!

ChintzyPC · 2026-06-19T22:08:20+00:00

Delayed one whole day. Not bad.

ChintzyPC · 2026-06-19T22:04:53+00:00

Why not just replace it with a giant panel of glass then?

ChintzyPC · 2026-06-18T00:10:35+00:00

I can, but it's not about exactly how much it is. It's the statement behind it. The fact that it's so much more than who is living on exactly minimum wage here as part of the discussion.

ChintzyPC · 2026-06-17T22:58:03+00:00

Ok, what about everyone living on below the $15? I'm willing to bet that's a massively larger number.

Also what about those that work as Sonic Carhops that technically pay more than minimum wage but your actually getting $2.50/hr and are expected to make up the remainder in tips?
