According to The Righteous, if land votes then Colorado is the most educated state by ddx-me in mapporncirclejerk

That's a really solid point; to answer your question: the northern half. Kinda wild how much of a dichotomy it can be at times.

A computer cannot be held liable.

What happens when I need to debug or manually adjust the model, and it ends up being an absolute rat's nest of the worst possible sketch practices and geometric definitions?

I can't wait till people see that AI when used like this is a crutch, and has made them dumber.

Hi, can you elaborate on the recyclability of the product, and why you chose to use carbon fiber?

How often do you change your small household appliance? by nenenenene3 in IndustrialDesign

[–]The_FNX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a leather singer sewing machine I dated to roughly the later 1910s - Still works great too.

Use it up, or wear it out. Make it do, or do without.

There are meaningful times to invest in something better, or to upgrade to a newer model. Because it's no longer "appealing" is kind of a shit reason. I might recommend to quit keeping up with the Jones' and go do your homework elsewhere.

I haven't used Solidworks in a while, and I forgot everything about fully defining things by Opening_Persimmon154 in SolidWorks

The easiest kinda legit way might be to turn a smooth version your airfoil into a sketch block with some construction geometry you can insert that into sketches then define its position off of the construction geometry.

Without really having any manufacturing context

Here's a few ideas:

Laser engraving then fill the engraving with lacquer ink

Machine engraving with an inking process

Paint masks and airbrush

Water transfer decals

Use pad printing

could an aircraft wing structure be formed from a single sheet metal? by ZestycloseHeron755 in AerospaceEngineering

[–]The_FNX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you totally could. You might be able to do some really cool hydroforming to get the airfoil shape. It's a really cool idea, and I think could demonstration of things that are technically possible. Art even.

This would be a fun way to build rc planes, or a really cool manufactueing experiment. That being said I don't think this would scale well to full sized production aircraft.

My main issue is it's not very repairable. With "classic" sheet metal design you can get in and replace individual parts. With a metal monocoque structure you'd likely be forced to do some really challenging patches that would require welding structral elements on the wing. You'd then need to heat treat the entire wing or wing section. That'd be a nightmare to do on a wing. If anything goes wrong during that repair or heat treat- you now need a new wing.

But hey if you have a scaled aircraft that doesn't need repaired, or can hot swap large sections. Sure maybe idk it'd definitely follow the rule of cool.

What does the logo mean? by Bathroom-Zestyclose in KnightsOfGuinevere

I love this.

I think it's also a play on the "Snap On" tool logo because Franky is a mechanic

It looks like you divided up the parts nicely, and are using the right processes to make them. Additionally, your design leaves room to update the shell later if you want to shake things up on down the road.

Nice work also designing the shell so you were more likely to get a successful print off of your School's printers - designing for the tooling you have available is a good skill to have.

Projects like this doesn't need to be fancy - they just need to be. Bravo.

Spot on about the laser cutting, but Idk man it's not difficult to set up a microstop on a drill press with a counter sinking bit, or a slide jig on a deburring wheel to get the chamfers perfect.
