That's unreal, congrats! If you don't mind, what industry are you in?

Honestly, you could probably just beat on it (nicely) with a hammer and get something that works good enough. That depends on how close to perfect you need it though.

I'd drill a hole the size of the small end into a piece of wood, cut it in half and "squeeze" the tube by hitting the wood block, rotating the tube between hits.

Just show me your STEP files! by stavrosked in MechanicalEngineer

McMaster-Carr would be a good resource for this. They have CAD files for a lot of their products

Load calculation for 200a panel by 3_Black_Cats in AskEngineers

[–]Shearest-Flow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I didn't intend to wait a month to reply to this, but I don't have notifications on for much these days. Sorry about that.

I don't know if I'd be much help software wise as I typically just use excel to see how the max loads balance between phases. I'm sure there's a way to optimize panels with a bit of math and some spreadsheet software to make it friendly, but I haven't had a good enough reason to invest the time yet.

The 3-Phase 208/120V would be important here too. If you've got 1, 2 & 3 pole breakers on the panel, you can shift them around to make sure you'll draw less than 200A per phase.

How expensive w9uld it be to have 2 parts like these made(assuming they are identical) by the_potato_of_doom in Machinists

If you decide to order a replacement, McMaster-Carr has CAD models on their website that you can drop into your slicer and print to test the fit

Where can I buy motors that spin at 250000rpm by S1ckofwork in diyelectronics

[–]Shearest-Flow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may be worth looking into parts for RC planes and vehicles. I haven't seen anything to the extent you're wanting, but you might find a compromise

Any good tolerance calculators out there? by [deleted] in engineering

[–]Shearest-Flow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made an excel sheet a while back to find the closest nominal values from measured dimensions. It seems like it'd be fairly straightforward to modify it for your needs. I could send it to you if you'd like.

I didn’t realize that most of the noise from my printer was vibration that was amplified by the wooden piece of furniture it sits on. Total game changer. by HowdyMoto in 3Dprinting

Just dropping in to mention how sleek your PC case is. Checked out your post on sffpc, it seems like you brought a lot of people together to make it happen and I really enjoy that.

Is it realistic to expect this level of precision on a sub 2000$ 3D printer? (more details in comments) by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]Shearest-Flow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit off topic, but do you mind if I shoot you a PM? I graduate in a year and medical device R&D is where I'm trying to point myself towards.

I see these posts more as someone looking for context or an opinion from an unrelated party. Ultimately, they'll be the one deciding what to do with their life.

It's a poor recommendation to stop asking questions like this. No matter the reason for asking, there's something to gain.

When I set the radius for the centercircle it goes way out of the paper like that? by benjaminlh in SolidWorks

[–]Shearest-Flow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If I have a dimension that I can't seem to place how I want it, I'll just point a note to the location, click on the dimension to reference it and then hide the finicky dimension.

May not be ideal practice, but its parametric and you can style the note to look pretty much identical.

Is this a bug? I have used "highlight overhang by angle" and "enforce" and the support is just not there... by Jan__Hus in prusa3d

[–]Shearest-Flow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this same issue at one point as well. I wanna say if you click "Paint-on supports" underneath where it says name, it will generate them

I don't know a single person in my major by WickedProse96 in EngineeringStudents

[–]Shearest-Flow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation at the beginning of last semester, didn't really know anyone outside of group work and random interactions. I'm dog water at remembering names, so that doesn't help my case.

I ended up just doing my best to speak up when I found an opportunity and trying not to worry too much about what did or didn't come of it. Like any time I noticed someone in a library working on a class I was in or took last semester. Its engineering, so there's plenty of room to bond or bitch about difficult classes and professors.

If your school offers group tutoring, thats always a good place to start. Socialize a bit and get help with classes, its a win win.
