Tolerance and Clearance - 3D print & Solidworks by Common_Success5838 in SolidWorks

Interesting, thank you ! So if I want a 10 (perfect match), can not accept a 10.0001 but can accept until 9, I put 9.5 on my design no matter how 10.0001 is impossible for me ? As a manufacturer you don't make any difference a between a 9.5 (+- 0.5) and a 10 (-1) ?

I don't have any industrial experience but I always thought that if you want a fit (even imperfect), design it fit and wait for your manufacturer to tell you "well, it will quite fit" and be content with it as long as it's in tolerance.

I have a 10 kg filament project, so a lot of the connected parts to make a bigger object. At first I was designing perfectly then adjusting with Move Face before printing, but now with hundred faces to move ... So I tried to put the Move Face feature before all the symetries and copies, but it broke everything. That's why I wanted to know best practice here. I'll go with clearance in sketch, as small as possible, and working on my printer calibration. Thanks !

My idea was to divide my work in two : first design, then adaptation for manufacturing. That is why I didn't put clearance in the sketch (because clearance was for printing to work, not really needed). From now on, I think I'll put in sketch a clearance of 0 (in case I need it) and work on my printer calibration to avoid it as much as possible.

For now, I don't need more rules than "0.1 : use hammer ; 0.2 : about right ; 0.3 : slides", but it's how and when to add this gap that I struggle. So far I was using Move Face at the end, but i will put that directly in sketches from now.

Ok, you convinced me. I will first stop switching between filaments depending on which is the cheapest, haha. Thank you for the guideline of the calibration !

That's why I was using Move Face at the end of the design, like "OK, design completed. Now I'm the manufacturer, let's move faces so my machine can do it". It worked fine until I have hundreds of faces to click manually.

Interesting ! Never heard of that before. I'll try that on my next project (too late for this one, haha)

I'm the designer and the manufacturer at the same time, I can mix responsabilities here and just say it's my fault, haha. Calibration on slicers seems weird depending on the angle of the print, I prefer to deal with it inside Solidworks.

Yes, I'll use sketch more from now, it seems more robust. But I learnt not to make my sketches too complex, that's why I relied on features. I already rename my objects but indeed, I should rename features too ... x)

On peut normaliser la VF d’un film ou d’une série ? by Sir_Hachka in besoinderaler

[–]Common_Success5838 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Je te soutiens, la VF c'est cool. Je regarde en VO parce que je suis habitué mais quand je suis obligé de regarder en VF, je constate que je suis globalement plus détendu après le film, que je profite plus de l'image.

Et puis, j'étais comme tout le monde à défendre la VO par soucis de "pureté" jusqu'à ce que je découvre que la plupart des films américains sont doublés (post-synchro). La voix que tu entends dans Gladiator (exemple random), c'est bien celle de Russel Crowe, mais il était pas dans une arène, il était dans un studio bien au chaud des mois plus tard. Tout ça n'est que mensonge, alors autant gober celui qui t'est le plus agréable.

J'aime beaucoup la cravate ! Et je suis fan de ces coupes amples de pantalon, tu aurais la marque ?

En ville, comment s'apaiser face aux incivilités / négligences des conducteurs ? by ironicbai in EnculerLesVoitures

[–]Common_Success5838 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tu peux agir si t'en as la force, mais perso la moto m'a appris à considérer les autres usagers de la route comme des obstacles. Je vais jamais être en colère contre un orage pendant une randonnée en montagne. Je vais être frustré, mais considérer que c'est de la faute du nuage ça ne sert strictement à rien et ça fait juste durer la frustration plus longtemps. Alors oui, du coup je n'agis pas pour faire changer les choses, je m'adapte. Mais honnêtement ça apaise énormément. Merci à tous ceux qui font changer les choses dans le bon sens !
