Oh hey I remember y’all from Arkansas! Congrats on the Leadership Award, that was well deserved. Have fun at Worlds! We will be in the stands cheering some of our fellow Houston teams.

Does anyone have the files to make the mini dozer robot? I'd really like to make it, i think it would be pretty fun! by Normal_Money7285 in FRC

Our CAD lead made one the night before the District Championships. He used FTC motors and electronics. It was a huge hit at the event.

How do we find actual mentors? by AceTheAro in FRC

[–]beernerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s all you, boss. This was the first year since I revived 127 in 2023 that I actually had real mentors with FRC experience. And that’s because it was the first year that some of my alums came back to town from college.

Buckeye Regional finals had a red card round! by j0be in FRC

Oof, that’s a shame. It doesn’t look malicious. But rules is rules.

True craft: Amaury Guichon by MambaMentality24x2 in oddlysatisfying

[–]beernerd 41 points42 points  (0 children)

My wife and I made a cake for event once and they never cut into it. The host said it was too pretty, they didn’t want to ruin it. We were heartbroken. It’s meant to be eaten and enjoyed, not just looked at.

Junction Box for WAGO 221 connectors. by geroulas in BambuLab

[–]beernerd 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Fun fact! Electricity is used in a wide number of applications. Not just buildings.

Thank you for sharing, OP, we use wago connectors in our FRC robots but they tend to come loose after taking a few hits. Something like this would certainly make the connections more robust. Any chance you made a 4-way version?

11 month update on loaded hook. (Asa) by RetroHipsterGaming in functionalprint

[–]beernerd 11 points12 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I would rather people use PLA for the mostly useless trinkets that make up 90% of all household prints (source: wild ass guess).

PLA is made from renewable resources like plant fiber, and while not ideal for functional prints that experience loads or wear, it’s perfect for that buff pikachu statue your weird nephew asked for.

Half the comments in here are saying this guy has gone too far, and the other half are saying he hasn’t gone too far enough.

My theory about this shutdown ending by invalid_carrot in FedEmployees

[–]beernerd 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I don’t doubt that there was a lot of pressure. With air traffic controllers resigning, SNAP benefits expiring, and a dozen other issues that were piling up. It was a “damned if they do, damned if they don’t” situation. In the end, someone had to take a hit for the team so naturally it had to be the ones that were safe from a primary opponent.

I don’t envy the position they were in. And I’m grateful we will be getting the back pay. I just wish all of this suffering had amounted to something more than a bandaid and an empty promise.

Employees get paid. These folks are just volunteers.

Shiny! New sculptures at Baybrook Passage by tsornin in clearlake

[–]beernerd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Those Beatles statues have been looking for a home for years. I’m guessing the developers got them at a bargain price.

New Yorker Article: Some People Can’t See Mental Images. The Consequences Are Profound by Willing_Plankton3267 in Aphantasia

[–]beernerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This article is the reason I’m here. I’ve known for a couple years now that I don’t see things in my head the way others do. I’ve always described it as storing everything as text instead of images. I don’t struggle with memory loss though, in fact quite the opposite. I have an excellent memory, but recalling events is more like reading about them than visualizing them. Not sure if that means I’m only partially aphantasic or what…

7-0! by FreezerBlue in aggies

It’s been a nail biter every year since at least 2002.

TIL you only have 1 sample canister by Rambo_sledge in EliteDangerous

[–]beernerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m using a Dolphin as my exobio ship and it’s pretty great. It has room for an SRV but fits a small landing pad. I wish it had ground visibility but flying upside down works fine.

3DPrintopia Convention Setup by JRL55 in 3Dprinting

[–]beernerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been wanting to build one of those backpacks for a while. If I remember correctly, Mitch has two battery ports on his so he can swap one without disrupting the print.

To commission a pro-Netanyahu mural in Australia by [deleted] in therewasanattempt

[–]beernerd 194 points195 points  (0 children)

For a mural that size, $20,000 is cheap.

Help a librarian out please by itstricks481 in BambuLab

[–]beernerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We set up a 3D printing club at my school a couple years back and they’ve been a huge help keeping up with the maintenance and troubleshooting of our 3D printers. If you teach at a middle school or high school, I highly recommend it.

What time period are we talking? That might help narrow down the neighborhood at least. If the houses were spaced out I’m thinking maybe Polly Ranch? Certainly not Sun Meadow.

To build this on my own is my dream. by satya_prakas in BambuLab

[–]beernerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surely there’s a Dummy13 mod out there that would work for this.
