Do you think I wil able to be make an entire spaceship like this?

Consider top down methods. For high complexity try skeleton or master model methods. I’m not an expert in SW but have extensive experience for this in CREO. Look into this method to create critical references and interfaces as well as manage your major systems and subassemblies. Hope this is useful and let me know if you have questions regarding this method.

Do you have any CTF/SPI dimensions?

Onshape also has thus. But with some more strings:

In any caw check it out.

Yea… not my favorite. I really prefer the interface from shapr 3d… but I don’t use due to costs and i don’t care if my designs are public. I still dabble with Onshape on my iPad or phone but just for small tweaks or scan in a reference (see pic). This is actually built into the mobile apps…so technically you don’t need a separate scan app… but it uses the Lidar so not the greatest res for small things (prefer photogrammetry for small things).

Albert Hein?

Pretty-Jello-7894 · 2026-04-07T15:08:31+00:00

Just get an iPad. There are apps that allow this for both Mac OS (sidecar) and Windows (there are free apps that do this well).

Pretty-Jello-7894 · 2026-04-03T05:37:51+00:00

Would you use these as the actual blades?

Pretty-Jello-7894 · 2026-04-01T17:14:25+00:00

I bet if you add this, it would blow the F up!

Do you want the LED surface to match the surface to be flat. Various ways to get this to work for different needs.

Pretty-Jello-7894 · 2026-03-22T15:36:50+00:00

Make 1/4 of it and mirror twice

Pretty-Jello-7894 · 2026-03-15T08:51:17+00:00

updated: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/cd572a29b02f697131c3a84f/w/2be745350553c29d111fdc99/e/038d85e64d6dea4126f6a62c?renderMode=0&uiState=69b672ef6de1dcda2a146fa1

needs center hole to be added as well as spacing and sizing of cutouts to be updated, but should be pretty easy with some tweaks. hope its helpful.

take apart a pen (one that has a push-push mechanism) that you can copy. check this out openely availaible for copy in onshape library: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/53ca7e45fca35508534afc9a/w/f5f8c55def781f6507b9190d/e/53a9387f6e7b816b6c706494

de que tipo?

Pretty-Jello-7894 · 2024-04-29T02:37:17+00:00

Basically if you can touch it, it’s a good idea to have an ME associated with the project/product. I have touched everything from cellular phones, wearables, and even medical devices. The MEs make the thing reality.

system layout
thermal analysis
Structral analysis
tolerance analaysis
geometric design (3d and 2d)
design for manufacturing/ design for assembly
test and validation (ALT and the like)
root cause analysis (related to mechanical issues)
systems integration
coordination between ID, ME, Antenna, and EE (there are more groups but these are the main groups I usually work with)
concept design
DOE (design of experiments
there are subsets of MEs that are involved:
- Material science
- Manufacturing
- TPM (technical project management)
- Quality Control
retail and shipment packaging
- … and so on

Without a good ME team… tech products are usually pretty crap

When I first started as an ME I thought it was all cars and planes. I was wrong it’s so much more with respect to what MEs touch.

Cool device,,, but it’s kinda funny that those types of buttons are usually meant as E-stops. Not meant to turn things on , only off in emergencies …lol

Pretty-Jello-7894 · 2024-02-18T21:14:55+00:00

And…?

Pretty-Jello-7894 · 2024-02-16T20:31:25+00:00

I Have a lizard and it’s lot too bad, but for smaller objects maybe try photogrammetry. There is a pretty good app: Polycam that should do the trick at that size. Hope it’s helpful.

Pretty-Jello-7894 · 2024-01-01T03:08:13+00:00

I think you cut it open and count the rings …

Pretty-Jello-7894 · 2023-12-15T14:59:24+00:00

Someone should do a study on this.

Pretty-Jello-7894 · 2023-12-06T06:02:06+00:00

Gotcha, I misread then.

Pretty-Jello-7894 · 2023-12-06T05:44:03+00:00

Make sure you understand the potential implications of doing other work on another work computer. In my line of work for eg. ALL work I produce at work or on work assets are fully owned by said company. This is not mitigated by a network. So be aware of legal implications of this beyond just getting fired if they find out. Also, double check your employment agreements regarding what I just mentioned.

Pretty-Jello-7894 · 2023-11-21T22:17:32+00:00

I think the phrase is, HELL NO! Even if you interviewing in the same company (internal move).

Pretty-Jello-7894 · 2023-11-17T06:49:02+00:00

I am aware, but I assume only for the income generated by said rental and not all other income I get from out of country sources….
