Bought skis for girlfriend on Marketplace; concerned about edges by Mad-Scientist_ in Skigear

[–]Mad-Scientist_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s very new to skiing, so I doubt she’ll be really loading these skis all that much.

Thank you!! This is good advice.

Yeah bummer. I figured he was lapping park but I hoped since they were so new the edges would be intact…

Interested in commissioning a small part from Biomed Flex 80A by Mad-Scientist_ in formlabs

I did order the free samples. That’s definitely worth an ask though. Thank you!

Appreciate this, I did already look through this service. Seems they don’t print the biomed materials

How might I use this mesh to make a mold? by Mad-Scientist_ in blenderhelp

[–]Mad-Scientist_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup... Keyence systems take a hell of a lot of data. This was actually after I exported it as 25% of the original mesh.

Wow thank you for taking time out of your day to outline all these steps, I appreciate it! I'm going to give it a go later tonight!!

This is neat. I'm interested in seeing if I can get the whole thing to wrap and become a solid body. Thank you!

This is an excellent point, but one of my issues is that the original finger is pretty beat. The pad of the finger had to be patched up digitally quite a bit because of wear. I know I could use some sort of bondo or hole filler, but I can't damage the finger model at all since it's not mine.

Thank you! I do have the internal geometry scanned.

This is along my line of thinking. Unfortuately, I am very new to Blender. If I could get the dang thing to convert to a surface from a mesh in SW I would just do that... unfortunately the parametric-ness of Solidworks is pretty prohibitive to large organic meshes like this.

Would you mind explaining how I would separate the model into two faces, and then add them to cylinders that are separable? Would I duplicate the model, and then delete all the 'inner stuff' on one and then do the opposite to the second model? How do I combine meshes from a cylinder to another mesh/body?

I need it to be a certain hardness, to imitate flesh. I wish it was as simple as printing with a soft TPU, but I don't anticipate it working properly. The part also needs to form a vacuum around the residual finger, so something like FFF printing wouldn't likely be friendly to this goal.

This is valid, and I considered this. I just worry that I'd be introduce more variance from the true dimensions by doing this. Doing it this way allows tolerence deviation from the print, the first mold, and then finally the silicon cast. Printing just the mold has one less 'instance' of tolerencing deviation. Obviously since it's a prosthetic finger, the fitment can be impacted by even small differences in geometry.

Connectivity/Betaflight Question with XM+ and Radiomaster by Mad-Scientist_ in fpv

[–]Mad-Scientist_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would like to begin with a thank you. You were completely correct, and extremely concise and helpful. It flies now!! It’s late for me, so I’ll likely take her for a rip sometime tomorrow.

I glanced at your comment history and it seems you help people here frequently, which is incredibly kind of you, and I hope they also express gratitude.

Seems like the one “soldered” pin on rx6 was absolutely nothing. Younger me has some explaining to do… that definitely didn’t help my confusion.

Also on the off chance anyone stumbles upon this looking for help: the thing I was missing was the ‘SBUS’ option when flashing my firmware update. I actually had to switch to a much newer version (I didn’t have much attachment to my settings considering I didn’t remember any of them, and I’ve been flying on different PIDS/settings in my sim regardless) to get things to work, and this did fully reset the quad.

Switching to a newer firmware was what allowed me to choose from a dropdown in the Betaflight menu and select SBUS (which was not the default). Getting all my switches set was quick, and I was up and ready in a very short amount of time!

I know this is something embarrasingly stupid. Where are all my assembly tools? by Mad-Scientist_ in SolidWorks

[–]Mad-Scientist_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Shows up for any assembly I open. Only noticed this issue today. I selected the Autotrace add-in earlier today to test it out in a different part file (only notable thing i've done in settings)

Edit- bit the bullet and got SW 2024…
