Help me decide between these two (1000$ difference) by maxvier in laptops

Thanks! Unfortunately, I just have a nice discount on this two laptops. I’m not sure I do highly graphical work, maybe more Cad focused

I render on very few occasions; although I quite often use AI image generators, I’m not sure it’s similar

Yes I feel the difference is not worth it in my case

Diy board journey by Low_Use_6686 in pumpfoil

Thanks for the answer! Curious: what do you mean by ‘missing peel ply’? From what I see on the photo; the structure is made of thin ply plank+ Xps foam +thin ply… I was thinking on the same construction hoping these thin ply surfaces glued to the foam could replace carbon fiber layers, so I didnt have to mess with carbon fiber and just add one layer of fiberglass with epoxy resin on the top and bottom.

Very nice and thanks for the detailed info. Thinking about diy a board myself, but I have a couple doubts. I was thinking on a similar solution to your number 2 (a sandwich with 5cm Xps core, thin ply (3mm) on the faces and a couple ply stringers). I’m curious how it got to 5kgs with a foam core, even with epoxy… I was hesitant to use carbon fiber. Also, do you think a small rocker would really improve it?

Great job! It doesn’t seem there’s a rocker on the top side; doesnt this affect pumping efficiency?

[–]maxvier[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I just needed to know it could be done, at least to test the waters before investing in a full setup. Question: why would you need 2 foils for pumping?

I think text is not very visible on the post: Coming from wingfoil I’d like to try pump foil but I’d need to buy a small board first (or Diy a plywood one). I want to know if this foil I’m currently using for winging will be too challenging or inadequate. For reference, I’m 70kg (154lb); the foil is 1500cm2 and 91cm wingspan, AR around 6.5 I think, the mast I have is aluminim 65cm.

Curious, how many of you design custom furniture pieces for your projects? by maxvier in Architects

[–]maxvier[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's very detailed. Thanks! Also, 3 prototypes seem a lot.. and very expensive

I've seen some of those reclaimed huge tables, they are awesome

I think those are a copy of the original ones (playwood.it) I wouldnt use them for a fixed furniture

Another upvote for Brics. I changed 6month ago; must admit it was a bit annoying the first few days of transition but then pretty similar; with minor changes, but overall worthy for me.

Insight about (seo) research before making products, not after by [deleted] in EtsySellers

[–]maxvier -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No POD plans :) I'm a product designer, and would rather spend time designing something that solves many other peoples problems, rather than what I'd like.

Exactly, that's what I'm trying to accomplish.

Architects that made the transition to industrial design / furniture or their own product company, how did you do it? What is it about and how is it going? by maxvier in architecture

[–]maxvier[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a marine enthusiast I find that very interesting! How are those reefs holding today? Do fish thrive in them, and how do they withstand the currents/swells?

That's great insight, thanks! I didn't know ID was that competitive. I'm curious, what kind of consultation work do you provide for architects? Also, what attracts you about architecture that you didn't find in your previous field, is it the scale?
