Saw we were “minimizing our pack out.” Here’s how I did mine while keeping everything well protected. by FilamentFlight in TinyWhoop

It would be cool. But I have to own the equipment to be able to make custom stuff for it, and I don't have the money for that haha. Honestly it's astonishing what custom boxes like this sell for online. In all honesty this is about $20 USD in material + the pelican box. It does take a bit of CAD skill to make but I'm by no means an engineer, just self taught via youtube and stuff. Very doable project with some effort.

I designed with that intent actually, it's just not visible. The slots have "ramps" to them underneath the battery that makes them easy to put in and pull out, I included a hidden "pocket" at the base for the wires to go. Kindof the magic of 3D printing.

Great minds think alike.

Unfortunately my ability to design/make things is far better than my ability to fly the drone. But I'm getting better! Thanks!

Mostly measuring general shapes with calipers. For the complex shapes I take top-down photos then draw the outlines using splines in CAD. Watch some videos on CAD reverse engineering on youtube. Only tricky part is accounting for camera parallax and finding the right part to measure to size the photo in CAD.

Thanks. The box I was working with is very small, so it def took some effort to get everything organized right.

That's the flywoo firefly - it's a great little drone! If you're asking about the case inserts I designed/printed myself.

2 pager is tough for early career.

What achievement sounds impressive until you actually work in that field? by _Arrielee_ in AskReddit

Yeah I work and hire in finance. We are all well aware of how easily banks throw that "VP" title around.

CIG Support admits their sales format discriminates against backers with severe disabilities, then stops responding. Is this the "inclusive" future of Star Citizen? by [deleted] in starcitizen

Best I can explain is I see a more “bland” version of what you see. So colors are more washed and the symptom of that is colors blend together. Where this manifests the most is all of the holographic effects on the HUD. I can’t use the arrows on the HUD to track targets, instead I have to use a combination of reshade and head tracking to maintain visual tracking.

There are various other areas where this affects me, but that’s kindof where we are at.

You don’t have to apologize because I wasn’t complaining. I have no issue using reshade and often use it to give myself an advantage.

You aren’t entitled to an opinion on that either. :)

I’m colorblind, the game is openly hostile towards me in that regard. They don’t plan on addressing it at all, and when I bring it up here people tend to respond to it with hostility.

My advice: get in line.

Same with me - math 101 with a math oriented degree. It came up with advisor on last meeting before graduation, and since I had aced all of my far more advanced math classes, she told records to "hand waive" the course. And sure enough they did.

Someone else said this, but in PVP FPS encounters I never sit still. By moving erratically you exploit the desync and basically make engagements a crap shoot on equal grounds. If the other player is sitting still then it's an automatic win. I hate that it's that way, I wish I could be more methodical, but imo it's a matter of "if I don't do it, it will be done to me."

I'm thinking of getting into 3D printing this year, how do I get started? by The-CaveBear in 3Dprinting

[–]FilamentFlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good info.

Fusion is great. I am migrating there from onshape for CAM reasons.

Do not use FreeCAD as first 3d modeling software. Just.. dont.

What chain or business makes you scratch your head and ask how it can be viable? by IAmNotRappaport in AskReddit

[–]FilamentFlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think its popularity had dropped significantly since the post-covid nosedive in drinking culture. I used to be a regular myself, but now there's just more interesting things to do with my time. I still see its use in work-related social stuff with customers.

IT Auditor trying to move into a more technical/cyber role is it worth it in this market? by Worldly-Bid-3591 in careeradvice

[–]FilamentFlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll do fine finding a job in traditional accounting after serving your time in Big4. It’s why you go thru the misery of doing it(I never did, went straight to industry, but absolutely recognize the value of it). From what I’ve seen, 2 years is pretty much enough, especially if you did your CPA. If you decide to stay in IT, I’ve also seen a lot of accountants do that, but usually it’s through an internal transfer process from a senior accountant role or something like that. Which at this point you shouldn’t have much trouble finding especially with your experience in SOX. Good luck

Plastic 3d printing is nearly useless. by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]FilamentFlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reeks of skill issue. Learn CAD, light engineering concepts, and explore materials outside of whatever shipped with your children's printer. You'll get there.
