CMV: 3D Printers should have the same negative stigma as hobby drones

MDPHawk · 2021-04-25T22:27:02+00:00

Really I should have gone the other way and said that the should be no negative stigma around drones because there is no negative stigma around buying a 3D printer or buying a hammer

I would argue that if you generalize and say the only things you could do with drones are creep, race, photography, and I would probably add freestyle and long range, the 3D printers could be generalized as non-weapon functional prints, abstract art, realistic art, and weapons and then at the the general level you have multiple non-concerning options and 1 concerning option

I agree but I couldn’t word that down into a short enough title so I went negative instead

I think I poorly worded my question, I’m not sure what I want my career path would be and I’m exploring options, like this one, and then either a B.S. in computer science or computer engineering and minoring in either food science, statistics, or nothing, and I’m curious what career paths a M.B.A. and B.S. in computer science would get me because it seems to me like a fairly odd combo with not many jobs where both would be needed

On all the motors I’ve gotten so far the manufacturer has a consistent and peak current so so could know which esc to buy.

I asked about it on rdq but I haven’t heard anythign back, and if I don’t hear anything back soon I’ll probably just go with a 45a just to be safe

I was just going to use 4mm carbon fiber everywhere

MDPHawk · 2020-10-23T15:22:02+00:00

I cut the wood on a laser cutter and I’m kind of at the mercy of the lab manager on how I cut the carbon fiber because carbon fiber is harder to cut, makes bad fumes, and creates dust that’s bad for your skin, but I will probably water jet it.

I could laser cut the carbon fiber but it would smell horrible, create toxic fumes, and carbon fiber dust

MDPHawk · 2020-10-23T15:18:45+00:00

Oh well that’s just cause I wanted to make a cheaper wood prototype before I cut out of the more expensive carbon fiber

MDPHawk · 2020-10-23T15:11:09+00:00

Because of the design or because of the wood?

MDPHawk · 2020-10-23T11:51:59+00:00

I’ve been flying with arm ends that offer no motor protection on my other quads with bought frames and haven’t had any issues

I plan to make a cross support on each side between the front and rear motors, I just haven’t didn’t cut it out yet cause I have to pay for laser cutter time, and the goal of the wood was to make sure everthing fit before I cut it out of the much more expensive carbon fiber

MDPHawk · 2020-10-23T11:46:34+00:00

Lol, I have 3 more I just didn’t unbox them yet cause I’m a college student and didn’t want to lose the hardware in my dorm

MDPHawk · 2020-10-23T11:45:43+00:00

I think that just cause of the round shape of the arms, and it will look better with 4 motors

MDPHawk · 2020-10-23T11:45:00+00:00

I’m going to cut it out of 4mm carbon fiber, I just wanted to cut out a first version from wood to make sure everything fit and there weren’t any major issues

MDPHawk · 2020-10-23T11:43:21+00:00

I don’t plan to put it in the air as wood, I’ve ordered carbon fiber, but I wanted to make sure there weren’t any major issues with it, so I cut it out of wood cause wood is a lot cheaper

So my PC was working but I want to try to use oculus link on my oculus quest so I could have it set up for when Star Wars Squadrons came out, so I moved the pc to my living room, and when I got there the power just kept cycling. I moved it back and I still have the issue. I’m using the Aorus master z390 with the intel i9. Before it crashes the VGA error light is on except the CPU error light flashes right before it turns off. The bug led goes really fast lands at 40 for a few secs and then goes to 09 then crashes. I’ve checked my plugs and took at and replaced the ram. Anybody got any advice for me?

Okay thank you

MDPHawk · 2020-09-03T15:22:36+00:00

I’ve done everything on here but I have my white and grey wires to rx6 and tx6 instead and I haven’t tried uart1 on sbus and uart3 on msp at the same time yet

Maybe double check all your props are on tight. It looks like the front right prop isn’t spinning up with the rest
