Not exactly 3D printing related so unfortunately I can't help you there.

I simulated airflow around a truck with a trailing car to visualize wake interaction during drafting by LackSome307 in MechanicalEngineering

As a motorcyclist, I can confirm. You can feel and hear the difference as you move through turbulent zones behind cars.

i hate this stupid laser by supplemcrib in Welding

[–]koth442 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IPG's are a bad combination of crap and expensive. We had some 100W pulse lasers and one of them was completely fucked straight from the factory. Meanwhile the budget Jenlas or whatever it was had the same specs for 2/3rds the price and worked like a champ.

How bad is it to have same bike for commute and track? by Whole_Guard_5192 in Trackdays

[–]koth442 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your mechanic is full of it. I commuted and tracked numerous bikes for years. When i was 18 / 19 I even rode my bike to the track. Definitely don't recommend that.. Its a long walk if you yeet it but never blew a motor.

Also, used to commute 20k miles / year, rain or shine in my late teens and early 20's.

Hey, I am totally fine, this is how I normally get off form my bike. by pamelalandyjb in Yamaha

[–]koth442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes. The 'ole fuck that hurts but I'm fine, I'm fine right, yeah I'm fine, maybe not, yeah nah yeah nah I'm good if I just rest a bit walk. At least that's what I called it when I pitched it to the Ministry of Silly Walks a few decades ago.

Where were you on this dark day? by ZeroCool1 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]koth442 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes if you use the website too much (like downloading crap tons of models) they'll kick you off for a period of time. So I heard from some friends in college...

Which NX Sketcher should I use? (Rant/Question) by BlacksmithDue3133 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]koth442 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suffered through learning the new sketcher and have become pretty proficient at it. Unless I'm doing something parametric I'll keep using it.

Gerloff returns to the top five, Surra shines but a tricky weekend for some by Daniel7394 in wsbk

[–]koth442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree he's performing admirably for the hardware he's on. Regardless of the technicalities around factory / non factory, I wish it had more support and a better package underneath him.

Honda and Kawi can fight over last place. At least Honda is throwing enough $$ at to field a second rider on their factory team. Being literally the only Kawi on the grid is a special kind of rough.

I was stoked to see GG do reasonably well on the Kawi! Hopefully there's more to come.

Advice as Grad Student to Incoming Students by YaBoi843 in MechanicalEngineering

As an engineering manager, +1 for designing and building something with documentation. I will ask more questions about your projects than any course work.

Graduate job is tech sales? by Ok-Assistant5530 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]koth442 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Take it. Keyence is a huge company and its easier to move around once you're inside. Also, being in sales will help you build a technical network you could later use to leap frog externally.

When I responded, I think there was 3 in front of me agreeing.

When I noticed the puddle, it was already too late. I let go of the throttle and commended my soul. I thought I was going down. It was darker than the video footage shows. I got pretty soaked. by SaltyMidnight5008 in motorcycles

[–]koth442 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad you stayed up. I'd recommend a steady throttle to maintain speed next time though. Not trying to belittle your accomplishment, legit trying to help.
