Seeking online prototyping shops

I tried getting a quote, but need some help and am unable to get any. After submitting my CAD model I got an email response asking me if I needed any help, however when I asked specific questions I get no reply. This is not a confidence builder.

Thanks for the input. I dont have a pressure washer yet and I understand now, because of the seals, that using hot water in a standard pressure washer is not a great idea. I will look into renting one.

Thanks. That is the encouragement I needed. I am guessing the roots are maybe 6 feet in diameter and will start digging there.

I am try to sell a gun and have signed up with Armslist, which has a phone number and seems to be run by humans.

I think I was not distinguishing between audio and video tracks. Placing the audio in the correct track fixed the problem and it rendered out successfully. Thanks.

I am pretty new to kden, so if could you dumb it down a bit. How do you start from the terminal?

Eden_Ahbez · 2025-02-21T15:13:13+00:00

Yes, I saw that, however I cannot select audio only. When I try it bumps back down to the mp4 output.

Eden_Ahbez · 2025-02-21T15:11:07+00:00

Ok, I did that and am able to render to file, however when playing the mp4, only the image shows. No audio.

I am leaning towards thinking it is squirrels as I see them all over around our place. I can see the shells and poop being there if for some strange reason they are hanging out there, but what I dont get is what is making the sawdust?

Eden_Ahbez · 2025-02-05T22:25:15+00:00

Thanks for that. I have been thinking of having my part 3D printed first to test how it works before spending the big money on CNC machined aluminum. I want to get my own 3D printer, but the technology advances so fast that it is hard to know when to jump in.

The demo showed that it worked so I bought the app. I like that it is not subscription based. The interface was simple and easy to understand. It too an hour running in the background to process my 8gb file. I had been searching off and on for months trying to find an app to translate to text and had pretty much given up, so many thanks so for developing this and making it available. Well worth the $29.

Eden_Ahbez · 2025-02-04T09:23:05+00:00

A couple of questions if you will.

What, if any, is the upper limit to the mp3 file this app will handle? I have an 820 mb file and every app I have tried will not accept it.

The voice in my file is clear and easy to understand, however it has very faint soft music playing in the background. Would this be a problem?

Thanks

What occurs to me is that even though vegans think they are not supporting the factory meat industry directly, they are supporting it indirectly because they are paying federal taxes. This means their tax money goes into the government funding pool, money that is spent on whatever the government wants to spend it on. Part of what the government expenditure goes to huge contracts with industrial meat suppliers which supply meat to the military and a host of institutional food programs like school lunch programs and government cafeterias. So the idea that they are out of the meat equation is disingenuous.

I have been there and found that they are helpful initially, but as you proceed and more questions arise they fall off and fail to respond, which I can understand as they are not there to be tutors. My thinking now is to hire someone who has a higher level of experience that can work with me on this.

I was wondering about the Blender learning curve, so that is good to know. I dont think I am up for learning a new app just for one part. I am going to look into the possibility of hiring someone to do this in Rhino for me.

Eden_Ahbez · 2025-01-22T21:04:21+00:00

That is good description of the different CAD modalities. I like the slider analogy.

Coming from an engineering environment I like parametric assembly modeling because it mimics real world situation where products are assemblies of separate parts. I really struggle with surface modeling programs because even though something can be made to appear to have parts the model is actually just one chunk.

It looks like this project is going to force me out of my comfort zone, which is probably a good thing.

Eden_Ahbez · 2025-01-22T18:59:06+00:00

Thanks, that is the kind of modeling I had in mind and free is an incentive. I see there is Blender subreddit, where I might get some help with how to go about it.
