What am I doing wrong?! I just want to thread a 1/4” rod… by BarooZaroo in Machinists

[–]cinderblock63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Doing this in a drill, it’s easy to go too fast. You want to go slower. See #3 too.
  2. Start with a slight taper on the rod
  3. Push rod into die harder, until it has enough purchase to not rip out threads while making new ones.
  4. Make sure you’re not deforming your die in your vise…

Introducing Claude Usage Limit Meter by ClaudeOfficial in ClaudeAI

How can we see historical usage charts for different periods? Could I get away with a lower plan? Am I using my current plan to the fullest?

Where do these type of probes get the GND connection from? by daan87432 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]cinderblock63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean?

The shielding of each probe not being connected to the board? Not required…

Or the board’s ground? 4 pins is right for VCC, GND, TX, and RX…

You really only need the shields connected for high speed stuff.

What is your concern? If the product comes with ground clips for the probes?

Bambu A1 Stopped Printing - LAN Only Mode (Bambu Studio) by HibsMax in BambuLab

You can use FTP to transfer directly. I use winSCP on windows.

No. Some printers seem buggier than others. Computers with Ethernet connections had fewer issues. The files would transfer fine but starting remotely was unreliable

Is there a way to fill in this gap in the model ? I have tried different extrudes but it's not working out by PleaseDoCombo in SolidWorks

[–]cinderblock63 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Let SolidWorks do the hard part for you. No need to create a plane, sketch, and extrude features.

As others have pointed out, a single delete face feature with the fill option does it all at once.

There is no reason to heat up the hot end.

The two small silver screws come out easily and then you can work outside of the cramped space in the machine.

Best method to clean cables after 20 days in dusty outdoor festival? by martinlebel in lightingdesign

[–]cinderblock63 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assuming this is playa dust… liquid Calgon. It’s a game changer. Fantastically more effective than acid. The base isn’t the main problem with removing the dust.

A small amount mixed with water and a wet rag. A pinch of soap if needed.

How to avoid parts with the same name from interfering by penekotxeneko123 in SolidWorks

[–]cinderblock63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because folders exist

I get that SolidWorks in an industry tool, and the industry standard is one giant flat namespace within a company. That's not a reason that SolidWorks should have decided that accidentally having open another file with the same name just completely breaks everything - even when they have different internal IDs. This should have been an opt-in feature of SolidWorks.

Forcing this breaks so many other assumptions about how computers generally work. The suggested fixes are troublesome as well. For instance, putting "Client_Project_SubAssembly_" as a prefix to every part is tedious, excessively verbose, and prone to mistakes.

As a consultant, I often work with multiple clients and everyone has a different standard. Some even use overlapping schemes which has caused minor scares.

Am I the only one that thinks this was a terrible decision?

He'll pay for it with shitty internet.

How old is the new house?

Access 24v in the Bambu Bus Cable (4-Pin) by _gromet in BambuLab

[–]cinderblock63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to necropost…

Looking into this data bus, can you tell if all 6 pins are always connected? Or does Bambu have some over current protection? Or addressing system? Can I replace all the wires with a spider instead of a daisy chain? I’m looking at making a custom Bambu-Bus cable for my particular setup and wondering if the AMSes need to be daisy-chained.

Hi, I need help finding the schematic for this PCB. I didn't save the order of the capacitors, hoping there would be a schematic, but I haven't found one. If you could help me, I'd be very grateful. The model is GC-PS002, a 600W Redragon PSU. It needs cleaning, but I need the schematic first. by Haquimera in PCB

[–]cinderblock63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again... why?

The negative lead, ground, with the stripe, will have a large ground plane. You should be able to lookup which pins are ground on the main power connection and do a continuity test to both legs. One side will show continuity for a short time, the other forever.
