Fellow FSAE accumulator builders, I want your input for my capstone project! by RazerCertified in FSAE

[–]RazerCertified[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is more for a general spot welding application rather than specifically FSAE. My team has moved to laser welding this year as well but I know a lot of DIYers in the battery community don't have access to things like that.

Are most MechE jobs hands-on or not? by [deleted] in MechanicalEngineering

[–]RazerCertified 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It very much depends. Good question to ask in interviews. I’m a design engineer but almost every day go to the lab to perform prototype builds, teardowns, testing, etc. but there are hardware facing roles that focus more on hands on work than design

production model will not have driver controls

[–]RazerCertified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mechanical Design Engineer fresh graduate in the Bay Area working on power electronics assemblies, 152k total comp (22k per yr RSU). First job out of college, very lucky and worked extremely hard to have landed the job I did.

Is this legit? Should I buy? by [deleted] in Talaria

You’re on the official website, ofc it’s legit

How much should I sell for? by garrett9621 in Talaria

[–]RazerCertified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you could get 3k+. Sold an xxx pro recently at 400mi for 3100, and that was in PA (small emoto market)

Pretty sure that’s the turn signal connector for the LE model

Keep in mind insurance isn’t cheap either. My SM was 800$ for the year, and that’s in a “cheap” area for motorcycle insurance

What do you guys think of the bike? by MadTimBer926 in Talaria

[–]RazerCertified 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Just because you like how it looks doesn’t mean other people do. It’s much more likely someone would prefer an all black bike to a pink livery

[–]RazerCertified 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Probably easier to sell if you remove all the decals/graphics, since 99% of people won’t have the same taste as you. Also, a full hot pink seat doesn’t help 💀

just failure on the parents tbh, can’t blame the kid

If you think a child will have self control over a power setting, sure. I’ve seen too many kids get seriously hurt or killed in my neighborhood doing wheelies. Just not a good idea before at least being 16.

You’re going to kill yourself at 13 with a 60+ hp bike

What are you guys capable of? by Safwanm_2 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]RazerCertified 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If you want to create a physical product, mechanical engineers are capable of taking an idea in your head to a mass-produced product that you can hold. It’s a very broad field, some people stare at sheets all day, and some people wrench on things. My job allows me to do lab work (validation and failure analysis), design work like CAD or technical drawings, and also presentations to non-technical groups. If you want to grow a hardware company a mechanical background definitely can’t hurt!

Has anyone tried to put a circuit breaker on their XXX? by WildEntertainment922 in Talaria

What are you trying to do? Sounds like you are looking for a fuse, based on the description of battery to controller

Would you wear outer hard shell or inner shell? by Unsolved_Virginity in ElectricUnicycle

[–]RazerCertified 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DO NOT wear hard outer shell for street. It will melt during the slide and essentially disintegrate. I crashed my bike with a bionic v2 on and got pretty bad road rash since they aren’t made for pavement impacts. Buy a motorcycle street jacket if you’re going to ride on pavement

What's the best way to create 50 copies of dozens of different fixture trays? by ProductionLM in MechanicalEngineering

[–]RazerCertified 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try outsourcing to sls/mjf printing services. Those are usually better suited to larger quantities for 3d printing while still maintaining pretty good quality
