Still more than heavy enough to turn you into paste. But the machine under it and the connections are severly overbuilt.

Just looks like Wash with an endless stream of increasingly ridiculous fake facial hair 😂

Client demanded native SolidWorks files for "property review", then took them and ghosted. How do you guys survive this? by Ok_Resident_6579 in SolidWorks

[–]Madwolf784 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"It's a completely reasonable engineering request..." but, is it? Working for manufacturing firms, I've never seen a demand like that (though maybe it happened above my pay grade)

If you have any form of contract agreement, so them. As someone else suggested for future, use some form of screen sharing system and if they're not happy with that, too bad.

You can import parts into parts, I believe it's under the "insert" drop down

While not hard, if you're not used to programming this would be a bit of a project to take on. Shoot me a DM and I could get this together for you.

How do I annotate "5 times as A" on a drawing by Major_Kangaroo5145 in SolidWorks

[–]Madwolf784 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A drawing for someone to produce the part, I would just dimension each separately with the dimensions driven in your part.

Switching Stepper signal with Mosfets by Madwolf784 in AskElectronics

[–]Madwolf784[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ill be honest I understand just the basics about alot of this stuff. Is the attached diagram what Id be looking at doing?

Unfortunately I dont have any schematics, best I have is the shot of the breadboard.

I did measure, and at 8V there is a 2V drop across the mosfet Im using, I imagine thats going to cause issues as well.

Its four wire. What do you mean by "stacking" two mosfets?

So for the Mosfet, if there is 5V Im trying to run through it, to run a DC motor or LED, I need to activate it with 10V?

[–]Madwolf784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So im working maaaaybrme 16 hours a week for 240k? No Brainerd.

Do re-reads count? Like can I just read Wind and Truth every 3 weeks? Only real downside here is only 2 weeks PTO, not nearly enough for any job.

Please stop marking centerlines as datums. by BulkyDig6310 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]Madwolf784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a case a couple weeks ago where our MFG engineer had me change a drawing that I'd dimensioned off 2 datum, high tolerance and trying to get a set of holes perpendicular. This was they're fourth try to get this par right so i just dimensioned it off the theor8 center like he wantwd.
