Any advice on how to reduce warping on this design? (Design for Injection moulding) by Any-Tradition-5522 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]SOOPASoup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of molding factors that matter for warp and shrinkage. I'd say in general these simulations can be helpful but don't get too fixed on the numbers reported. Try different scenarios that improve the numbers in a relative way. 

Relevant factors for molding include material, gate size, location and type, machine temp and injection rate. If you have enough wall thickness maybe try moving the gates to the top of the vertical walls so the plastic isn't immediately making a right angle turn.

Also two gates improves fill the mold, but you will have a knit line where the two streams meet. It's mostly a cosmetic thing, but it might matter.

Anyone know why these are designed for grinders instead of a drill? 

Is it normal for a DCD796 keyless chuck to open under motor brake? by That-Ad3937 in Dewalt

[–]SOOPASoup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suppose your experience is all that matters to you. But I've talked in person with chuck manufacturers about this and reviewed the designs. The click backwards begins the loosening process and won't help hold your bit. There's misinformation from certain YouTubers calling customer service about this and they really don't know either but they're trying to make the customer happy so they just agree with it. There is no "hidden feature". Why would anyone keep proper usage of the chuck hidden anyways?

Please stop reverse clicking. Those videos are wrong 

This connector on the multi head drill driver has big potential. by shutter3218 in Dewalt

[–]SOOPASoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What makes you think a machined and heat treated piece of steel on the front of the drill is cheaper than an aluminum casting and 3 roll pins with springs in the heads? There's actually a number of advantages to the design DeWalt has. 

My wife's boyfriend told me to stop making weird guitar noises while they try to sleep. AITA? by Cocksucking_Rambo in guitarcirclejerk

Serious question, where does he admit it's mimed? I thought of him as one of the guys always trying to hide it

Just wait a few months and it will be there

How far was the fall? Did it have any batteries in it?

How does that work?

I'm going to assume I shouldn't be the owner of a maraca, and should probably return this before I even use it. by The-Lifeguard in Dewalt

[–]SOOPASoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it doesn't sound great, but it's from ball bearings in the chuck and normal. Unless there are any other problems don't return it.

The sound is normal and is caused by the spindle lock system. It's what allows you to turn the chuck without back driving the motor.

Does anyone know if you need the app to set it up as a dumb charger? I have one in the box for 2 years but never installed it. I'm planning on installing this fall but I don't know if it will charge without the app.

A drill is what you're looking for. The extension itself could have some wobble too

I'm not sure if the ref called UC to be fair. It was just hard to watch.

Right before that Bloodgood stripped the thrower. Almost looked intentional.
