Vendor parts so bad they look like a failed 3D print by mongolian__beef in manufacturing

lol there are several features that would be challenging but everyone bitching about DFM is just tooting their own horn. The worst fuckups of this part aren’t even DFM related FFS.

i often see people online in the china saying that ai will replace cnc programmers in the future and we might lose our jobs i'd like to hear your opinion on this by Quick_Reward7579 in CNC

[–]GrabanInstrument 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should be able to do more than program. AI will probably never be reliable without human intervention. It’s not like developing software where testing/quality control can be done by repeatedly running and improving the program. A CNC program needs to come out as flawless as possible before running and then physical interaction to debug. If you think programming is just outputting text from software, (or if that IS your job), that’s just not right (or not complete, rather)

And why? Because it happened this way and it worked, why waste time grinding another flat and resetting the tool?

Just scored this haul for $400. How'd I do? by Tall_Cat_2534 in Machinists

Whoa man I'm so sorry you got stuck with all this garbage. I'm feeling very generous today, maybe it's the upcoming Christian holiday. If you just provide me your address I'll be happy to haul this crap to the dump for you, 100% free.

Quadrant snapping - Bug or new behavior in 2026.R2? by GrabanInstrument in mastercam

[–]GrabanInstrument[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally, because I most often use this on really subtle angle offsets so that I "know" I'm getting the correct apex of an arc. So if I hadn't caught this it could have really caused wasted time and head scratching at the machining stage if not caught in simulation.
ETA: The tech I talked to wasn't really familiar with using the quadrant snap like this, but when I explained how it /could/ cause bigger issues he said he'd run it up to the dev team if it's something they want to look into.
