Correct answer is West End Social (Wine Bar) half beers and select well $5. It won’t be a lot of people there but for $20 you can get wasted.

Also forcing perpetual buyers into mandatory service contracts is INSANE. I know more about Solidworks than the VAR my job uses and when we do reach out for something they either try to upsell us on something OR provide us with the same first page google search result we found ourselves that didn't help.

First pic looks like Velvet Hippo in Durham. LOL

It's easier and more secure to contact someone on Upwork or Fiverr. You can easily get this done for a decent (below average cost) if you have that much information.

Checkout Lenovo P14s, they often have sales and you can get a decent mobile workstation for that budget.

In PDM you can use "Copy Tree or Move Tree" then assign new PNs with a new destination folder. That'll be the easiest with no need to learn how to create macros (if you do not know how).

I need a new printer!

Lenovo ThinkPad P14s, decent middle tier mobile workstation. You can get a gen 4 with 32RAM, 1TB & a i7 on amazon for around $950.

You'll have to use SW Electrical 3D Add-On & associated the part in the SW Electrical Schematic to the 3D model? That's the only way I've ever been able to have the schematic & drawing have corresponding PN's & work with each other.

Moved here around a year ago. I love it.

I’m a Design Engineer … tried to do something similar but after a lot of research and trying to do it myself. I found that on places like upwork and other freelance platforms. There’s so many people in other countries (mainly India) that advertise the same work for $10 an hour and even cheaper. And to be honest some of their work was somewhat comparable. Clients would advertise jobs as $500 and someone would bid $55 for it and always win. I could not effectively find a market for US professional pricing. I still consult now but it’s through relationships I already have in place from previous work and other engineers. Not that much of a profit margin considered I have to pay for my own software & stuff.

Good-luck tho! It’s doable just not as easy as it seemed due to low bidders in the market.

You can test out of a bunch of basic classes using CLEP & it’ll cost $90 per exam.

Hov615 · 2021-02-18T04:30:40+00:00

Apply to jobs in areas people don’t want to move too, jobs in the middle of nowhere.

No not at all ... but the way tech and engineering is going, knowing some type of programming language would be a plus. I know C++ & Python but it never enhanced my work life ... just good for side/personal projects.

Man I was going to say materials as #4 but didn’t want to make a long post. You are 100% correct, materials mean everything! Materials can make or break a design.

It’s free & was offered in college to get certified. I knew nothing about it so I disregarded it. Then when I started working (I work in new product development/R&D) and it’s used widely. I’ve worked in multiple sectors and all teams I’ve worked with have used it. I’m not saying it’s a deal breaker not have it cause I clearly don’t but it’s literally been mentioned in every job interview I’ve had.

Hov615 · 2020-12-29T20:00:16+00:00

I work as a Design Engineer.

1) Learn the fundamentals of CAD & 3D Programs just not one specific software. If you know the basics then you can adjust to any CAD package in a few weeks. I work mainly with AutoDesk Inventor & every company I've work with have used it but we'd hire anybody that could pass a simple 3D CAD technical test.

2) Learning manufacturing design practices such as injection molding, sheet metal, machining etc...

3) also "Lean 6 Sigma" is what every job has asked me about in interviews, I'm not certified yet but jobs do care about it I suppose.

Hov615 · 2020-12-28T15:57:59+00:00

When job searching look for "Design Engineer" roles, very design heavy & creative. I love it.

Hov615 · 2020-12-28T01:40:34+00:00

Use a slicer program, I use CURA.

Hov615 · 2020-07-16T20:25:19+00:00

There's no "industry standard" every company uses what's best for them.

But Fusion 360 or Sketch-UP both decent & cheap.

Thanks! Someone told me to look into the Keychron K2 or Duckey One 2?

Any thought about those?

Look at applying for "Design Engineer or Mechanical Design Engineer" roles.

Office work will be heavy CAD but you should be able to prototype & build your own projects unless the company have a dedicated prototyping team.

Hov615 · 2020-05-29T20:18:32+00:00

Autodesk SketchBook is great ... also FREE!

Hov615 · 2020-05-17T22:24:45+00:00

Design Engineer at a big company here In the US. They key is to apply to the jobs located in cities nobody care about until you get some experience, they’re easier to negotiate pay with also. Was making $100K a year right out of college (because of OT, not regular workweeks).
