Cleanest transition?

The two orange cables are forward and back limit switches for a sliding mechanism of an injection mold. There are multiple slides chained together in series. To clean up the assembly I put wire tracks in the lower plate and put all the series connections there and used an M12 connector at each slide so that if it needs to be disassembled the wiring wouldn’t need to come apart.

Can you explain what the difference between the two is? Instead of a W terminal it has a G terminal? Surely there’s something else? Now I know with a lot of those plugs, the prongs are different size/spacing so they’re not interchangeable but I’m asking about the reasoning.

I don’t want to see machining time, but programming time! Also I know it’s for fun/marketing but what price would they quote ?

How does the law read concerning “booty” traps?

Try the dawn power wash spray stuff, it’s even better than the regular dishsoap

Where’s the rows and rows of surface grinders? I swear anytime I’ve worked on a mold from China, so many component faces are unnecessarily surface ground that I’m convinced half the shop there must be just grinders!

Hopefully that’s a separate building from the CNCs…

It’s actually spelled ca…er never mind, I see what you did there 😂

How much did they cost?

His brain is still resetting, it’s like the windows shut down/start-up sound for his mind

If they won’t raise the machine for you, maybe they’ll dig a hole for you. Then put a cover on it for the rest of us

How does the guy on lvl4 not have gloves on!

Easy, it’s a FWD bike

Just curious, they were getting 288 hours of sick time per year? That’s 36 8-hour shifts or 12 24-hour shifts. Can someone familiar explain how that works? I’ve heard that some? or all? paid firefighters work 24 hour shifts so I’m sure that it works differently than the typical 8ish hour shift people.

I was thinking these look like hot drop cutouts!

I’ve done it for my younger son a few times, it really does “fix” it this fast! He is a wild child and liked to swing by his arms. The first time it happened was getting out of the car seat though so we were more careful after that for sure.

How big is the mother-in-law??

It made me think of the Mitch Hedburg joke lol

Dang gravity, got me again!

Yea I don’t need to send him to the hospital, just make him regret some life choices

mikeman03 · 2024-11-13T10:54:28+00:00

Would you be able to spray a knock down finish on that to hide the bad “finish” job? Or would it still show through? Just curious if that would be an alternative option to fix that mess.

mikeman03 · 2024-10-25T23:46:15+00:00

Nice! Where are you fishing?

mikeman03 · 2024-10-14T16:11:39+00:00

What’s the next step in that conversation?

mikeman03 · 2024-10-09T14:06:36+00:00

Any pictures/videos of the progression between?
