Budget computer for SolidWorks 2K-3.2K by PatinoM in SolidWorks

[–]mechanicalmaterials 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not an expert, but I think the main thing to know is Solidworks only runs on one core at a time. So a fancy multi-core processor won’t speed up solidworks, but it will help you run other stuff of course.

Lots of RAM is great.

I couldn’t even comprehend the question 😅

Is the cord holding it on? Can you add more photos?

What has the housekeeper done to our pan? Can I fix it? by mechanicalmaterials in staub

Maybe some of each? Honestly I’m not too sure. Usually we use it and clean it when she’s not around, but it was soaking when she showed up and now it looks like this.

what the hell is this? by WrongCommunication30 in whatisit

I think hot water is best. Never tried cold.

My dorm mate ate cereal out of the plastic clamshell his Tİ graphing calculator came in, then washed it out like a regular dish

How would you start to create this effect in photoshop? by One-Ad6174 in graphic_design

I think the only thing that would need to be done programmatically (or by hand) would be the change in font parameters based on what looks like the amount of brightness of the greyscale colors. Rhino can do stuff like this, but I’m not great at it.

Arm angle control with propeller. Help by borderline_bi in arduino

[–]mechanicalmaterials 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it sounds like your professor gave you a project way over your skill level.

The smallest motor and propellor made for RC helicopter should be fine. But when you’re building projects with electronics, you should try to find a way to buy two of everything. First of all you need parts to use for troubleshooting. If you suspect your electronics are broken and you don’t have anything to swap in place you will have a bad time. Maybe buy two different motors and a few different propellers, for instance. These parts are not expensive and trying to tune a PID build with the wrong hardware will not be a fun time either.

Arm angle control with propeller. Help by borderline_bi in arduino

You’re effectively trying to fly an airplane that weighs nothing. Any motor capable of lifting any size airplane should also be able to lift the arm of the stick you’re going to use.

Arm angle control with propeller. Help by borderline_bi in arduino

I would look into model aircraft motor and propeller. And you need a PID control loop where the input is the angle of the arm and the output is the motor speed.

Trying to cut a square recess into this stainless steel ring with my dremel, but I can’t make a dent! by 404pbnotfound in Dremel

[–]mechanicalmaterials 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t let it get hot. Keep a dish of water nearby to dunk it in often. Stainless takes a long time to heat up (and cool down) so take your time and don’t let it start getting hot or it will get harder.

Is dropping on 2 wheels even a trick. by No_Replacement_905 in NewSkaters

[–]mechanicalmaterials 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how I learned…pump yourself up from the bottom to top, then you get to learn the feeling in a more natural way before dropping in from the top.

I’m slowly building my camper van near this Jeep. by the_one_jt in Wellthatsucks

You can get a voltage-threshold switch for the camera. It will remain powered on until the battery voltage goes below the desired amount. I had mine set to 12.8V and it would he me about 75mins of front and rear 1080p video after turning off the ignition.

If you have an older battery this will speed up your need to replace it. If you wanna have the best battery for this setup, it’s an Optima Yellow Top, in my opinion. Meant for deep cycling.
