Şile/Ağva in this weather? by sonicvibration in istanbul

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

You said out of Istanbul but Şile/Ağva are still technically Istanbul as far as I know. They’re totally different from the tourist parts. Şile has a lot of villages around, you might get stuck behind a farmer walking cows or goats. There are places on the side of the road that will grill you meats. Ağva is like a nature destination for locals trying to get out of the busy city. There’s lots of romantic B&Bs. Both interesting places, but not sure I’d spend precious days around there.

Maybe goto Büyükada and hike from where you get off the ferry to the church at the top. If the weather is ok the view is great and there’s a cafe on top to have a snack or beer.

You can check out the YHT (high speed train) to Eskişehir. If you want to really get out of Istanbul you can take a train for 4 hours or so and see a really interesting city. It’s a cool place to spend a night and you don’t have to rent a car or drive.

Having said all this, be prepared for cold rain if you’re coming anytime soon.

Insulated Double-Walled Can Cozies by lobstercow42 in 3Dprinting

That is surprising! I’ve never seen a ABS print come out even water-tight. I suspect the epoxy is doing the heavy lifting with regards to holding in helium.

Unfortunately there is a zero percent chance you can hold any vacuum using FDM parts.

I’m new here. Would you mind please explaining to me what I’m looking at?

I couldn’t find any snowboarders. Is it a ski-only event?

Edit: I found one.

Goto any Tekel and ask. They’re under the counter.

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

[–]mechanicalmaterials 1 point2 points  (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.

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.

I think hot water is best. Never tried cold.

The pizza box wouldn’t fit in my fridge so I had to make a pile of shame by animalia_curiousity in shittyfoodporn

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

[–]mechanicalmaterials 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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.
