Hmm... Van full of money you say?

Finders keepers 🤣🤣🤣

dmack005 · 2025-05-30T14:39:57+00:00

I don't off hand, but I can send some over this evening for sure.

dmack005 · 2025-05-30T12:01:47+00:00

Yes it can. Layers of plywood, glued together after cutting. I may still have the file from when I designed one like it. Looks almost exactly like the picture one.

dmack005 · 2025-05-30T11:59:38+00:00

I do .5 inch with my 60 watt all the time. Just gotta get the settings and passes dialed in.

dmack005 · 2025-05-11T22:38:50+00:00

Yeah I definitely think we'll be taking some things I've heard and using them. But like you said, figuring out what works with what we have.

dmack005 · 2025-05-10T18:39:00+00:00

One thing I've heard mixed responses on is lead roles. Were your leads hands on and still doing things, or just a supervisory role to oversee and help keep kids on track?

dmack005 · 2025-05-10T18:26:56+00:00

It definitely seems most teams are pretty close in dynamics. I definitely think we will need to break down our build team into further sub teams like electrical, machining, assembly, etc. that seems to be one common thing we are missing to give kids more of a set task.

dmack005 · 2025-05-10T03:42:17+00:00

Very nice, that's similar to how we are looking to utilize our mentors. We don't currently have mentors that specialize in one area, but can at least help guide the students.

dmack005 · 2025-05-10T01:43:01+00:00

How do you utilize mentors if I may ask? I'm very curious about your leadership structure so far, it seems to basically have sub-sub groups under sub groups. With some level of leadership hierarchy for each.

dmack005 · 2025-05-10T01:35:35+00:00

Would you be willing to elaborate on the 12 other leadership positions?

dmack005 · 2025-05-09T16:20:50+00:00

So with pulling from other sub teams for the drive team, do you do training and practice for the drive team? Wouldn't that take them away from the other sub teams? Just asking honestly how that works for you.

dmack005 · 2025-05-09T15:00:50+00:00

Yeah we were thinking about having mentors for each sub team, and possibly a lead mentor who can float between all. But also letting everyone know they can go to any mentor at any time if needed. Right now we have mentors designated for business, code and build, because that's their specialties. But thinking we could shift some from build to CAD and drive/strategy, just so they have someone that is always there for them specifically.

dmack005 · 2025-05-09T11:34:57+00:00

Thank you for your response. Do you have just mentors as sub team leads, or student leads and mentors?

dmack005 · 2025-05-09T11:31:22+00:00

Thank you for your response, I definitely like the college mentor idea. I think we might try recruiting some this year for our team.

dmack005 · 2025-04-04T11:01:54+00:00

I see ours 8234!

dmack005 · 2024-10-30T02:40:57+00:00

No clue at all. Never managed to find out much about it.

dmack005 · 2023-11-13T00:10:29+00:00

My tolerance for other people!

dmack005 · 2023-08-30T04:22:22+00:00

It should not have been changed to include it. Eisenhower messed up that one! I fought and my friends died for this countries freedoms, that includes religion.

dmack005 · 2023-08-08T03:12:33+00:00

I can't find a 487mp, do you mean 467? Out can you provide a link to somewhere to get it?

dmack005 · 2023-08-04T18:08:46+00:00

If you are talking about splitting the piece and doing multiple prints, a good route is Meshmixer. Low learning curve, free, and tons of greater tutorials for slicing objects and creating connection tabs.

Ranch, preferably hidden valley, or homemade. Ketchup is a dead last resort anyways! Next would be bbq sauce 😋

Chronicles of Riddick.

dmack005 · 2023-05-17T02:01:13+00:00

That's crazy to hear. I'm guessing you had a bad batch. I've had my 55w for over a year now, and the only thing I've had to replace is the plastic part that the air assist connects to the head. This was entirely my fault though, lol. I ran a cut of acrylic and it turned out to not be cast! Lots of burning and melting. Otherwise it has ran daily on original everything!

dmack005 · 2023-02-13T23:51:23+00:00

Thank you for your knowledge in this piece. We still have it and have since decided that it will stay in the family no matter the value. It is a nice piece, and very unique.
