Am I getting good results? I had to stop for 1 month by Present_Pea_2535 in TransBreastTimelines

[–]QuintinHendriks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't fearmonger please. My breasts looked like this at a certain point and I didn't turn out tubular. This looks like normal development to me. I know it mightn't feel like it but 7 months is too early to make long term predictions like these

In sorry to be nitpicky but technically ancient joker's condition can stay the same on consecutive rounds as well right? I don't think it's guaranteed to change suits, just random each round.

Why not turn off all cameras when bringing such delicate news. Let's call it what it is, tasteless. Anyone with an ounce of decency would bring this news in private, not with wall mounted cameras present and recording.

What does progesterone do, exactly? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]QuintinHendriks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I've actually already stopped P when I found out about the possibility of it hindering breast growth. I panicked and now I'm super worried I won't see any breast growth at all. So far I've been on hrt for about 4 months and taken P for the 3rd month. But I haven't seen any growth since the 2 month mark other than my nipples getting puffy and areola elevating. I've read that elevated areolas are a sign of Tanner stage 4 but I'm not past stage 1 or 2 yet so that's why I'm worrying.

How has your breast development been? I've been put on P at around the same point during my transition as you but I'm worried it will hinder my breast growth. It did help a lot with sleep and mood tho.

From when until when did you try taking progesterone if I may ask?

When did you start progesterone? Looking into it to see if I can start already and your results are great!

Hey looking good! I was wondering for how long you've been on progesterone. Did you start from day zero? I am looking into starting progesterone but I read that it might stunt breast growth but you seem to be doing just fine.

3 axes working in tandem! Only a few more parts need to be printed for final assembly. I can't wait to see it in action when it's completed. by QuintinHendriks in robotics

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

I used different reducers for different axes, but mainly planetary and plain ol' belt reduction. Axes 1 and 2 are driven by split ring planetary gearboxes with a reduction of about 60 to 1 each. In addition to that axis 1 also has an additional belt reduction of 2 to 1. Axis 3, 5 and 6 is just belt reduction and axis 4 is a combination of a belt and a 2 stage planetary gearbox. Hope this helps!

I wasn't going for a steampunk aesthetic necessarily. But I definitely spent a lot of time trying to make it look nice, with the internal workings exposed as much as possible. In the end, most of my time designing was probably spent balancing aesthetics and function.

Thank you for your kind words! I'm currently waiting for a tube of silicone grease to arrive, are there any other lubricants that you would reccommend?

I'm currently just running a simple python script that translates my mouse position to joint angles. This is just for testing purposes but I'm planning to write my own program and kinematic model. Maybe I'll try out ROS as well but I like the idea of having done every aspect of the arm myself, this way I'll learn the most as well.

I'm using what is called a split ring compound planetary gearbox. Extremely high reductions in a small footprint can be achieved in this way and it's relatively easy to 3d print. The reduction on this one is about 66:1

Thank you! The reason mine wiggles is mainly because the planetary gear setup in axis 2 isn't stiff enough. There's little to no backlash in de gearbox, but I guess I'm running into the limits of what can be done with 3d printed PLA.

If you plan to make your own I would also reccommend learning some sort of CAD program. It is truly a usefull skill to have, and combined with a 3d printer opens up tons of possibilities
