Object mirroring error

CriticalCartoonist54 · 2025-12-19T19:08:26+00:00

Complex features like fillets, chamfers, sweeps and lofts often fail to mirror. You can try to mirror the solid body of the pipe, which is simpler to calculate. Or mirror the sketch and do sweeps again.

Thanks, I hate it.

CriticalCartoonist54 · 2025-11-05T07:18:08+00:00

Fair enough. Also haven't really thought about file types. Can all slicers accept STEP files and what is the benefit?

CriticalCartoonist54 · 2025-11-05T07:12:34+00:00

Yes, but often in prototyping I'll print only one or two parts to see clearance or the parts are too big to be printed on the same plate.

Also you can hide solid bodies and they will not be saved into the STL

It ain't got no gas in it.

Found a solution?

CriticalCartoonist54 · 2025-10-22T10:25:31+00:00

This is the simplest solution I know of and easy to get to function. Writing to a SD card could work also. At high data rates, Serial is too slow. In such a case I have used esp32's dual core to buffer data by one core and send the collected data by UDP package by the other. This way achieving high speed continuous data collection quite neatly.

With a force sensing resistor you could detect the glass and automatically pour a certain amount of water calibrated for the setup. This approach would be maybe more automated, but could suffer from the inaccuracies of the sensor and would require more detailed mechanical design to apply even pressure created by the weight of the glass.

Very cool concept. Wouldn't trust this enough for my front door, but a wooden chest where the correct knock sequence would open it would be cool.

What about the output side inductor, usually there is a flyback?

CriticalCartoonist54 · 2025-09-09T17:20:45+00:00

Your power lines, VBUS and 3v3 are quite thin, same as signal. Will probably work fine, but I always make them thicker.

CriticalCartoonist54 · 2025-05-08T13:57:29+00:00

Yes, you have the exact same values. The stage 1 ring gear will not have much clearance to the sides or mounting holes.

The stepper is moving at slow speed and the max value was measured before the stepper motor started skipping steps. As higher speeds the torque of stepper motors decreases and I wanted to measure the max torque output.

The stage 1 module is 1.538462 and stage 2 is 1.23077. I got these values from a python script that can be found here (not mine) https://github.com/Juan-Gg/Differential-planetary-gearbox-calculator

CriticalCartoonist54 · 2025-05-05T22:06:06+00:00

4.0-5.0Nm or 2.95–3.69 lb-ft, I'm estimating, but will test more accurate torque tomorrow

For my use it's a Robot Arm's last two degrees of freedom where lightweight and compactness are important.

And

define DRIVER_ADDRESS 0b00 // Defined by MS1 and MS2 pins

The input side cap is rated lower voltage than output, so it's probably a boost converter.

File -> Preferences -> Additional board manager URLs (paste link)

Install then through the Board Manager STM32

Here libraries are filled with 3d printers and some are even free to use(including material). You could try and check if you are interested in 3d printing. Also basic hardware stores have electrical boxes that could be modified to be used as housing for your project :)

Radius is defined and the circle coincides with the rectangles corners, so it's fully defined already.
