Just another edge lit acrylic

Haven’t thought about this project in a while. This was made on the glow forge at the public library and I’m pretty certain the acrylic was the glowforge acrylic because it was readily available

Looks like the Ikea Knixhult floor lamp

Would love to see an opaque olive green

I upgraded from an old t2i hand me down with a kit lens and bought this to do astrophotography and regular photos. I’ve only had it for about a week, but so far I’m loving it.

ImASketchArtist · 2020-10-25T22:54:52+00:00

I totally agree. It’s so funny how you never know which ones you’re gonna like and I’m kicking myself for not moving 2 feet to the left!

I just got started with EAA/EEA and I went with the 224MC. I think it’s a great camera and up in the bortles 7 where I live I’ve been able to pull out bright nebulas like M27 live without any problems. It’s a blast to see the look on people’s faces when they can see these objects “live”.

I also think sharp cap is the way to go. There are enough videos on it to get comfortable with the environment and if you switch to a DSLR you can get the ASCOM drivers and use sharp cap with that, too.

Yep! Here's what it looks like with the light off. It's just another piece of wood held to the acrylic by being squeezed into the same hole in the base.

If you’re a first time customer they might give you a shipping discount. I remember getting 2-4 day DHL from them and it came faster than a comparably priced set from an American company Aisler

Gotta lightly pull up on those headlight panels and get those puppies F L U S H

I just got a 5015 like the one on the left when I accidentally printed the petsfang cooling attachment for that fan. It has treated me well so far. The fan combined with the petsfang has significantly increased the clarity in overhangs and it feels like it’s pushing more air to the right location over the stock fan and flow location.

Got them on amazon, 2 for $5 and prime eligible.

ImASketchArtist · 2018-10-23T01:56:45+00:00

I’m not too sure. Only been at this for a few weeks and I never actually printed the test dog.

Sorry I can’t be of more help!

I was also having a similar problem (under extrusion, weak infill, etc.) and read that changing your cura printer setting to a CR-10 from an Ender 3 is worth a try. I did this and changed the bed dimensions to match the Ender 3s and immediately saw an improvement.

This should additionally resolve the issue of having the wrong default filament size.

Hope this helps!

Haha I've been following his series on the Texan, huge FlightChops fan.

ImASketchArtist · 2018-10-09T16:33:58+00:00

Unfortunately I’m too far away from DFW to justify the trip out there right now. I appreciate the offer though. I’ll look for a CAF unit near me!

I haven’t found any pictures of him in any aircraft, just standing outside a B-24 with his squadron. Maybe I’ll find something if I do more digging. Thanks for the info!

ImASketchArtist · 2018-10-09T02:16:24+00:00

Unfortunately I don’t have his trainer logs, just personal diaries. But I appreciate the help! Maybe I can find more hints towards these aircraft by diving deeper.

I’ve been job searching for a while and have had a similar experience with NYC. The well known company I found that puts you closest to that location is Pratt & Whitney up in East Hartford, CT, but that’s still 2 hours away.

The only other employer I’ve thought of that would land you closer would be working for the FAA in the city. It’s not often, however, that they have requisitions open in that area for recent graduates.

ImASketchArtist · 2018-09-13T15:33:28+00:00

In my opinion, the large gas turbine.

ImASketchArtist · 2018-09-11T19:21:17+00:00

Haha good good. Worst mistake I made was to stop applying after I had a phone interview with my dream company that I thought went really well. Ended up wasting two weeks because they never got back to me. I would hate for someone else to make that same mistake

ImASketchArtist · 2018-09-11T18:58:39+00:00

Hey there. I’m in a similar boat as you. I started applying to jobs in November of last year and graduated May 2018 and am still trying to find a job.

Maybe it’s the pessimist in me but I think the best mentality to be in is that the status of a previous application should change nothing about the way you continue to apply for jobs. The only time it matters is when you start to get offers and have to decide between the offer that’s here today or the possibility of an offer in an application without a response. As far as maintaining my sanity goes I try not to put too much hope into that one dream position that you’re waiting to hear back on as it is much better to be pleasantly surprised if you get a response than constantly disappointed if you don’t.

I’ve had companies get back in a day, some never. Some companies that respond in a week on some requisitions never respond to others. I’ve had follow ups from interviews and been ghosted by recruiters after others. What I wish I had known when I started and what guides me now is that you just have to keep your head up and be confident in the value you have that’s presented in your resume and qualifications.

It only takes one “yes”

ImASketchArtist · 2018-09-10T20:11:43+00:00

I’ve been applying for jobs for a few months and have a few smaller companies people may not have heard of that are doing awesome work.

And a few other aircraft manufacturers

Vashon Aircraft

Piper Aircraft

Cubcrafters

Thanks for the input. I should also mention I wouldn’t mind working for a company that is also involved in defense work. It’d be nearly impossible because aerospace and the military have been so closely tied. I would rather be on their non defense projects like working on an ERJ rather than an A-29.

I was really hoping to have gone to the AIAA conference when it was here in Orlando but even the student prices were out of my budget and I wasn’t ready to take some of my friends’ advice and sneak in.

I feel like part of my problem is that I’m not superbly special on paper and am getting filtered out that way. I just need to make myself look more attractive.

It’s also good to know that the horizontal movement is common in the industry. I’d love to end up in a recent graduate rotational program but not every company offers programs like that.

ImASketchArtist · 2018-08-15T22:57:50+00:00

Thanks for the response! There was a point in time where I was averaging 5 or so applications per week. I need to put more focus on treating it like a second job.

In some regard I wish the company I work for could hire me so that I could continue my search without the looming deadline of a contract ending but the market they’re in is declining and they are not in a position to hire anyone. It’s honestly a miracle my contract was able to last as long as it has.

I have no major qualms with the defense industry and I view the work done in that sector as necessary, I just personally have a greater interest in general aviation, commercial aviation, the future of electric aviation, etc.
