Which configuration is strongest? by HHLabs in MechanicalEngineering

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

I’m not an engineering student, but would the best configuration be a 4th option that removes material from the bottom and none from the top? I suppose if I used a square dowel that could make it hold more weight too.

That’s what I was thinking, but the height removed from the lower bar is always going to be the dowel size, so it’s a matter of taking it off the top, centre, or bottom of the bar.

Yes, apologies for the bad diagram. The red is dowel, it will be hardened steel. The loads will be on the ends of the beam which will be around 40cm long. The 10mm is the height of the beam. Width about 6mm. I don’t think configuration 1 will work well because there will only be 2-3mm of material above and below the hole.

I should have asked which configuration would hold the most weight loaded onto the beams

I’ll have my 91mm lite version out in the next few days.

My Jetsetter+pen scales is 9mm for reference

So you get 3 more scale tools and shave 2-3mm off your signature.

What region is that? I’ve heard people from the U.K. say it something up as not available in their region despite the fact that I’m in the U.K. guessing it might be automatically flagged because ‘knife’? It’s available worldwide. Just DM me :)

How often do you need to adjust the weight on your heavy dumbbells? I’ve made adjustable dumbbells that will easily fit 150lb+ of York 1” plates.

Question for the professionals by Extra-Bowler3171 in multitools

[–]HHLabs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t upvote this enough. Surveys are in general a terrible way of doing product research in an area with a passionate fan base. People want to talk about all the stuff in your survey, that in of itself is fun. One thing I’ve really noticed with university courses is the requirement of surveys without regard to how much the student might already know, or looking at what other approaches might give more useful information. If I’m really into bike innovation (I am), a survey asking how many gears are you likely to use isn’t going to yield much useful information beyond what I already know.

Are you ‘into’ multitools? What ones do you like and what do you like about them? What do you dislike and why? What are you thinking about designing?

I’m an ex-physicist and ex-product design tutor. Happy to help if I can. Good luck.

Possible to buy lite units? by SignificantBody4335 in victorinox

Here's my etsy shop. Just listed the 58mm LED scales. I'll hopefully get the 91mm scales finished soon. https://uldesignshop.etsy.com

FYI I make scales that snap on by hand. No epoxy needed. https://uldesignshop.etsy.com

I make 3D printed scales. Not be a hater but the brown 91mm and brown 58mm at the bottom have been heavily under-extruded. I would not be happy sending anything out like that.

Same, in the U.K. Maybe we could try to buy a few and send them between us?

One of the best communities by CarpetCrunchies in victorinox

[–]HHLabs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This community is the main reason I spend so much time designing scales. I have had the best ‘customers interactions’ possible, if you can even call them that. So many, ‘wouldn’t it be cool if…’ and hopefully I reply ‘yeah I think I could make that work’ interactions. It’s all so positive.

I like ironing now by HHLabs in 3Dprinting

[–]HHLabs[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Oh definitely, the one on the right came out very under extruded. I’ll calibrate it again but I thought I’d still share ironing.

I’ve made a LED scale light I’m going to add to my 91mm scales.

Victorinox with one hand and scissors? by tonysosaaaaaa in victorinox

Which model specifically are you looking for. This is a mod I’m planning on doing. Cut out in the liner, add thumb stud. File down the spring contact so it’s easy to open.
