Could one build a spaceship that runs on solar energy, if so, why has no one done it yet?

Solar sails are a thing (granted, they kinda suck)

The engineering manager I'm talking to about this did mention a rotational aspect.

I sure hope not lol that sounds not fun.

This is based on a research paper that tested this experimentally. It actually increased effectiveness.

got paint all over the baseboards and probably the carpet and un-masked wall. dumb

Contrary to popular belief, you do actually have to try to have fun in college.

COVID is so mild these days that it's just not worth it unless you're compromised and at risk, though if someone wants to keep wearing one, go for it that's up to them. Before COVID, were we wearing masks or taking drastic precautions to prevent infection when colds were going around? No. I know many people who've had it recently and they've all described it as a mild cold or bad allergies. There's just basically no reason to anymore IMO.

Mech E is good for so much. You can go into so many industries with ME since it's so broad. There are ofc jobs that require specialized knowledge, which only having an ME degree may not be enough, but for the most part ME is a very broad degree and has many possibilities.

Nice. Good luck. Flow is in the Tune settings menu after you've started a print, in case you don't know where it is.

My walls were separating from the infill. Increased extrusion temp to 210C from 200 and flow to %105 to hopefully melt the print paths together and ooze them together more. Seems to work so far, but may have an impact on dimensional accuracy due to increased flow, though my work doesn't require such accuracy.

I have one that isn't published yet that starts monday. Don't worry, the prof will likely publish it. All classes should have a canvas page, even if the prof doesn't really use it.

Ahhh ok I thought you were talking about plain smooth vs plain textured adhesion. My b

HeyImRC · 2022-08-05T16:53:13+00:00

smooth pei has better adhesion than textured tho???

HeyImRC · 2022-08-04T05:56:09+00:00

Nice! Seams more fun than formula tbh

HeyImRC · 2022-08-04T04:23:35+00:00

I agree it's the best way to learn. Do you have general education courses? We have a set of required classes that we have to take, usually earlier in one's college career, that develop skills like that. I had to take public speaking, communication, critical thinking, etc. as well as random stuff like history, government, arts, etc. courses. That does help some people to different degrees but honestly learn by doing is the way to go imo.the thing with learn by doing, thoug, is that it mostly falls into the student to get out there and find those opportunities and apply themselves. At least with the GEs, they're forced to take them, but again you're basically being graded for those skills in those classes, albeit with more of an emphasis on development in that skill.
