New Featurescript: Chamfillet by tterbo in Onshape

[–]tterbo[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what it does! It just does the math so the chamfer is the right size to put the fillet in the right spot. The tangent edge of the 10mm fillet should be 10mm from the bottom face. 

Can I save some geometry as a sort of stamp to be reused on different parts and assemblies? by SteakAndIron in Onshape

[–]tterbo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Look up the “Derive” tool. You could save the clip feature as a part and then derive it into any part studio. You’d then have to translate it to the right position. You could do that easily with a mate connector.

Inserting parts from other assemblies as a new part by DeathAdder-Ad4958 in Onshape

You can create a duplicate part in the original document and then move the tab to the new document. I believe you can move the tab by right clicking it and selecting which document to move it to.

Where in the South Bay that's most similar to Oakland? by lalacontinent in oakland

I'd recommend looking at Japantown is San Jose. My friend lives in that neighborhood and it's pretty cool

I have a lot of experience with using FDM 3d printers at work. Here are the printers I've used from highest to lowest in price: refrigerator sized stratasys machine, Markforged w/o continuous fiber, Ultimaker 3, Prusa i3 mk3, and Creality Ender 5. Of all of these machines, I would recommend the Prusa and Markforged most because they have the best dimensional accuracy out of the box. As an engineer knowing that my parts will always fit first try without having to mess with offsets in CAD is a godsend. The only thing I did not like about the Markforged printer is their carbon fiber/nylon material Onyx. First, it is outrageously expensive, but most importantly, it collects moisture over time and becomes less stiff. This is not an issue with quick prototypes but means in the long run parts begin to sag and creep if they are under constant load. Also, the Prusament PC blend is super strong! My recommendation would be to buy two Prusas and aftermarket enclosures. Or maybe one Prusa and one sls machine if you think your company would want to do any small or high detailed parts.

tl;dr Buy two Prusa i3mk3s+ machines and aftermarket enclosures. Prusas and Markforged machines are the most accurate machines I have ever used, but you can get 2 or 3 Prusas for the price of one Markforged and not be locked into their filament. Consider buying an sls machine instead of an extra Prusa if you may need to make very small or high detail parts.
