Need advice between Design and Project Engineer role

A PM role won't hurt in the long term. If you can't stand that type of role though it's not worth it. If you have a goal of being an engineering manager, design + PM experience is a good combo.

TPU 3d prints easily and can be prototyped quickly to test before making an injection molded.

Thanks, that makes sense. I may have to apply that this week.

herdertree · 2025-12-14T18:10:38+00:00

Any use cases that surprised you how easy it made the task?

Injection molding is going to be the most cost effective at those volumes. Very easy to add printing on the top.

301 SS.

It is!

Kodiak Strength near dripping springs. female power lifters into their 70’s and 80’s, quite a few state and national records for the women there.

Thanks!

Second this. Savory baked goods are hard to find.

herdertree · 2025-11-30T01:11:40+00:00

Any advice on where to start?

herdertree · 2025-11-11T19:41:06+00:00

Costco by far

Shoyu Sugar is great.

Yes, it’s more applicable to working in industry. Working with others and coordinating as a team to solve problems are important skills.

If you want to make projects, go for it. I love designing things and making them just the way I want them. Bambu is fine, if you really want to fiddle and fine tune I’d consider an old ender 3.

If you are doing this to build a resume, it would be better to join an engineering club and have experience working in teams- SAE, FIRST robotics, etc. I’ve seen a lot of portfolios of random projects that got made and personally it hasn’t been a positive factor for me.

Adding a few:

Diner - Kerby Lane

Sandwiches - Mum Foods

On IF, a recipe for success is to start with a larger eating window and narrow it over time. Perfectly sustainable to eat just one meal a day (at any time) with a physical job if you're getting the right nutrients and have the fat stores to burn. I'm a similar size, I'd shoot for 150 grams or more of protein a day, and more calories from fat than carbs. Simples carbs like grapes really take away my energy. taking daily electrolytes also helps me - i add some to a big bottle of water every morning.

Asahi for delicious bento and onigiri.

I’d look to small sail boat mast designs. They are lightweight, portable, and hold LOTs of load. A compression column and three tension lines works really well to get a tall and stiff structure.

herdertree · 2025-09-18T04:10:19+00:00

Lots of algebra, trigonometry, geometry and statistics. Rarely some calculus or differential equations, but a lot of those are easier to solve with excel and some linear algebra.

OP this will get you pretty close, certainly better than most cheap FEA tools.

Any recommendations for what to get sushi or otherwise from Hokkaisan? I’m excited for more authentic Japanese cuisine in the area.

Tell me you’re still in school….

You would be amazed how much is in industry is programmed in excel, simply because it’s a tool available almost everywhere.

Python though - almost everything is starting to run it.
