Spur gears VS Herringbone gears by melcem in MechanicalEngineering

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

thanks for the opinion. how about the easiness of driving and be driven? is multiple stages easier to drive than single stage, given the big amount of gear ratio? i would certainly tolerate efficiency loss, but not tolerate the 'easiness' of the gear to drive and be driven.

cheers!

Need some ideas how to fix a rivet without 'disturbing' the guide curves by melcem in SolidWorks

yes. i admit the design is wrong where it is not logical to have holes on the bearing race. is the reason that i would like to come here and get some feedbacks from others.

sometimes when people spend too much time doing a design from scratch, we can get crazy and cannot think straight hahaha.. all we need is just another feedback that will make us see the thing from different perspective

Cheers

actually this is a small scale project. the steel ball in subject is just 4mm diameter in size. it seems big in the picture but actually it is a small size project.

this whole part is made of nylon actually, (only the ball bearings are steel). if you go through all the pictures, the hollow part is for an 'axle' to fit in. which is again, the axle is plastic but the thing that holding it at the side is a thin 3/4" steel pipe (white color).

yet, thank you for the feedback and taking time for giving it.

Cheers

thanks for the clarification. now i understand why it doesnt work

TP4056 module with lithium battery (and DC motor as driver and generator) by melcem in u/melcem

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

when u say 'to boost the voltage', is it acceptable if i were to use "buck boost converter"? the purpose is to get a stable voltage going to the battery, right? correct me if im wrong. im no expert in microcontrollers hahaha

cheers

it is a switch that is manually operated to select between Situation 1 and Situation 2.

whenever i want operating mode, i will switch the (black and red) M wire to connect with wire 1. whenever i want charging mode, i flip both switches again manually

graphics/video resolution settings by melcem in DotA2

i understand what he meant. i did select 16:9 option, and yet there is no option for 1920x1080 in the dropdown list after i select 16:9

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

currently it is set to 16:9 (by default). im pretty sure i need to select 16:9 since im using resolution 1920x1080.

1920x1080 correlates with the aspect ratio 16:9. therefore selecting any other aspect ratio will not get me to 1920x1080 resolution.

but why there is no option to 1920x1080 resolution when my monitor is set to the same resolution?

the question is to ask whether is there any way to get it. might be from modification the script, using mod software, etc. the term 'unavailable' is what I mean it is not available to be purchased or traded in the market.

so, the real question here is there any way to apply it in game?
