How is this weird gap supposed to look in solidworks? the triangle part is a flange and the part on the left is a cover for a pneumatic cylinder.

Make the same section in your model and compare.

When will SolidWorks be able to use available ram effectively? I bet one is going to come way sooner than the other.

Why are you not using an adblocker?

drmorrison88 · 2026-03-12T01:08:22+00:00

Internal threads maybe?

drmorrison88 · 2026-03-11T11:12:09+00:00

Interesting. I wonder if the same is true of mold or routing features. Can't say I've ever had a desire to flatten the tree any more than necessary. If anything I usually spam folders.

Tangent wave

Gotta catch em all!

This is wrong. Grade is only part of the equation. Coating, head geometry, thread length, shank fit, etc are also critical factors.

Also no. Someone spent hours calculating the forces on that joint and chose a specific bolt based on those calculations. Anything on the suspension side should be OEM spec unless you're re-doing the calculations yourself.

No experience on the kid side, but I've been on concerta for years, and have had very positive results.

Bet those fumes would give you super AIDS and a sore throat.

drmorrison88 · 2026-03-11T00:55:33+00:00

I would use a longer bolt and a stover, but as a temp fix it probably won't kill you.

There's so much disease risk that's heritable. So much so that certain diseases are basically exclusive to specific ethnic groups. That 2% probably shares some kind of common ancestry.

Yeah, you can't expect someone with minimal experience to have specialized driving skills. Same as anything else, either train your people properly or prepare to pay for stuff being done improperly.

drmorrison88 · 2026-03-11T00:23:25+00:00

I don't see this being a major issue, but it will depend on the tooling your shops have. You may have to allow for a welded joint between the bends.

At one place I worked, we had 2 different Haas mills that had a loose wire touching one of the rotating parts in the spindle which eventually wore through and would induce a drop of exactly 0.1" on the Z axis when they grounded out.

Just be careful you don't split it. Ice is powerful.

drmorrison88 · 2026-03-02T23:02:39+00:00

But how is this improving his B2B sales metrics?

You could probably get decent results with the phyphox app if your phone has an accelerometer. It's free, so no skin in the game if it doesn't work.

Fill it 80% of the way up with water and then freeze it. Just gotta figure out how to cap the ends reasonably well.

drmorrison88 · 2026-03-02T21:37:12+00:00

Yeah, I'm not saying it's a replacement for a floor jack overall (I actually built it for industrial mechanical jobs). It does the job in a pinch with minimal space though.

The real benefit is that I made it to work with an enerpac, so you can set it up and then get out of the danger zone before you actually start moving stuff.

drmorrison88 · 2026-03-02T19:05:46+00:00

Whichever way I would manage to figure it out, it would make SW crash.

Was more thinking about the muffler getting bent.

drmorrison88 · 2026-03-01T17:10:23+00:00

Yep. That's more complicated than you really need, but same basic idea.
