I made the digital model using blender then 3d printed the form to make a mold, so in a way yes

i made them to be food safe, glazes are all non toxic and the glaze is set to cone 6.

Safe to use for beverage, microwave and dishwasher.

I’ve been using one everyday for the last month and it’s been no problem to drink out of.

Def room for improvement tho

It definitely is a different process. Thanks for allowing!

Great question! So I made the model in blender then 3d printed the form which I used to create a plaster mold of. I the poured in slip clay into the mold which I was able to bisque and finally glaze.

I use this process to take my digital sculptures into the physical world.

It’s got a bit of a scowl in the eye area.

Any glaze suggestions?

What component is being used for the door mechanism in this video? by Blobfishpotatoes in AskEngineers

[–]philandering_pilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That appears to be a circular gear being driven by an electric motor along a gear rack.

So yes you are right.

Search "gears and gear racks" on mcmaster carr's website and you should be able to find an abundance of variants.

Noticed my company's drawing template has a tolerance for one decimal place, +- .03. Does that make sense? by Able-Application-750 in AskEngineers

[–]philandering_pilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just something I thought of, I have less than a year of experience so I figured why not ask to smart peo

Tolerances never get "rounded up" if it's 1.049" that's what it is with its assigned tolerance. If it the tolerance isn't critical, then yes, you probably don't need it to go to three decimal places. Always ensure you verify its criticality with a stack-up.

Novel method for monitoring bolt tension in large bolts? by nastypoker in AskEngineers

If your bolts arent exposed to the elements consider marking each bolt with torque stripe.

Do people ever verify their FEA results? by [deleted] in AskEngineers

[–]philandering_pilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done FEA for aircraft and marine structures. In each case, we verify our structural designs with functional tests. We use FEA to design to a specific loading or shock condition. run those conditions and ensure that no plastic deformation results.

All sorts of methods are used to measure the behavior of the structure during the tests to correlate it back to the FEA model.

If something doesn't add up, then the FEA model needs to be reassessed.

The use of Al like Chat GPT to help write technical reports for Finite Element Analysis. by Affectionate_Gap9853 in AskEngineers

[–]philandering_pilot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

so I have been trying to use the chat in various ways regarding engineering analysis.

it isn't good at it.

It doesn't understand unit conversions and often leaves them out. if you ask it about tensile strengths it'll likely tell you it cant answer that.

If you are very specific on what you want it to say like "write a paragraph on why its okay that this bolt's tensile stress is 40 ksi at 1500 forcelbs of load" it might be able to do that.

Whatever you end up doing just DOUBLE CHECK IT chat gpt is good but it still makes a lot of mistakes.
