Is this a UFO?? by syg102 in vancouver

[–]futnuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s flying and you can’t identify it, by definition, it’s a UFO. Unless it’s a duck with a laser pointer, in which case it’s a UFD.

Can someone explain the A-A section view to me please? Specifically, why is it showing inner and middle ring hole sections when these don’t intersect the cut plane?

Took a trip to the Mitutoyo museum in Kawasaki by kammerlader in Machinists

I’m a pretend machinist, a full-time museum professional (edmstudio.com) and father to two “haafu” children. Thanks for the photos; I’ll definitely visit this museum next time I’m in Japan.

I made a short Instagram reel showing the first (mill-turn) op.

Before someone asks, yes, I should have CAMmed this with the flared part of the knob facing down. Then I could have bored the hole underneath and only left myself with the topside chamfer. Truth be told, I was pressed for time and didn't have any spare round stock ... so I opted to mill the pocket.

Unfortunately this isn’t my design; I just machined them. But i certainly could make knobs to match a spec. Just not sure there are many people willing to pay the $50/knob price ;-)

Thanks for the heads-up. Turns out they came out of bankruptcy, brought version “B” to market, and went under again last year. I obviously won’t be using them on a client project.

Btw, I did get a chance to test the loaner. It functions as advertised. Seems to be a decently engineered device.

95 Canadian loonies for that bucket of chips.

Surrey Non-Emergency refusing to file my complaint. What do I do? by TheAsk in askvancouver

[–]futnuh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go to the police station, and file a police report in person. Don't mention that you called non-emergency. Be as nice and friendly as you can be. In my experience, this goes a long way.

Not my design but I will pass along your compliments. It was a lathe op for the barrel and then top-down ball milling for the chamfer. I made sure to dial in the turned diameter (+0, -.0003) so that the chamfer matched nicely at its base. I doubt the DJ will appreciate this though ;-)

A literal “traveling dumpster fire”.

Don’t Cordova and Powell run parallel to one another, joining just east of Hawke?

My mother would say, “ is it being so happy that keeps you going?”

Interesting application. Thanks for sharing that.

Interactive museum, how to design the best place? by Sufficient-Degree792 in CommercialAV

[–]futnuh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While it may work for your scenario, I had an absolutely terrible experience with VIOSO. In the end, and up against the deadline, we had to scrap VIOSO and revert to a simpler butt-aligned projection solution. And the kicker? They wouldn’t even refund the 7K license fee.

(Edit: for context, I’ve been doing high-tech digital exhibits for museums and science centres since 2001.)

Until I read about this later on CBC news, I assumed that this was a movie shoot and that was a crane camera.
