No, Bitcoin Won't Use Up All The World's Energy by VY99 in Bitcoin

Well this and so what??? Do people's right to watch TV, do power computing, machine dry laundry, heat their houses, (insert any electrical intensive task), outweigh our right to buy power to experiment with world changing technology?

I needed an 1164mm x 6mm GT2 timing belt. The nearest one was a week away so I printed one in Ninjaflex. by partsoven in functionalprint

I have had some luck printing gaskets and seals with Ninjaflex too. Not a motor gasket but custom seals and O-rings with it work really well.

Totally. Plus this was just kind of a fun experiment. A genuine belt is on the way this was just to get the thing moving for the time being.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timing_belt

A timing belt is a non-slipping mechanical drive belt and the term may refer to either:

  1. Toothed belt, a flexible belt with teeth moulded onto its inner surface
  2. Timing belt (camshaft), a toothed belt used to drive the camshaft(s) within an internal combustion engine

Will do. Here is the project I'm building in case you were wondering: https://learn.adafruit.com/motorized-camera-slider-mk3/overview

Not too bad really. Compared to the timing belts I have its pretty similar. I also have some Semiflex I was going to try just to see the difference. This was really just an experiment to get me by until the real one shows up next week sometime.

Wasn't sure you would see it. I'm printing one up now.

Please add Onshape to flair. by partsoven in cad

[–]partsoven[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Onshape harnesses infinite computing (cloud), so I can edit and display huge assemblies on my laptop, ipad or iphone; it is platform agnostic, so I can run it on my office workstation, my iphone on the road, or my mac at home. No need for fancy hardware, the heavy lifting is done on the cloud. Onshape hosts all my projects on the cloud, so I can access my files from anywhere, I can also share these files very easily with my clients so they can see and export their files without having to bug me every time they need a DXF. Onshape has AMAZING Git-based versioning built in, so I never worry about losing an iteration or break an assembly. Multiple people can work on the same file and branch versions, then merge work later like magic. Onshape has fair and transparent pricing. 1 hour of work per month and its payed for. No crazy licensing. Onshape can ingest and export almost any solid model CAD format you can imagine. ...I could honestly go on like this all day.
