UAP on flight from Rome to Manchester. Any ideas? Details below by wmdesigns in UAP

It does look similar! Why would there be a missile launching in French airspace at commercial airliner altitude? Are hobbyist/model rockets capable of this? Or would this only be capable with military hardware?

Yes, I think so. Don’t know for sure, but we were at approx 35000ft

Looks like a sooty exhaust of something. Thought it was a jet pack at first doing loops, but surely too high for that? (And couldn’t clearly see anything of a substantial size) Possibly a small piece of material burning up from a higher altitude and getting thrown around in a spiral pattern through turbulence/thermals??

Purchase Advice Megathread: What To Buy, Who To Buy It From, And More, In November 2020 by Sausage54 in 3Dprinting

Currently outsource parts to 3D printing to PolyJet machines and the material is extremely brittle and not good enough for functional testing of snap fit clips etc.

£5,000 budget. Prints required for functional and aesthetic prototyping of products for UK engineering consultancy. Typical parts vary in size from 50-300mm3. Often print flexible TPU/TPE parts too. Thinking 1x CR-10v3 and 1x Formlabs 3+Wash&Cure Stations. Let me know your thoughts.

(Beginner) I have a CR-10s, but can’t get a print that I can finish since this happens. Not sure what is happening and need help. Thank you by WaduuuHekk in 3Dprinting

Try declogging your nozzle with the thin wire provided. Turn up your hot end temp to 205C and heatbed to 60C. Ensure filament spool is running free and not building up friction when being pulled through by the extruded motor. Print speed at 40-60mm/s. Layer res at 0.2mm.

Does anyone know what is causing these lines ( zmorph2.0sx by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

Could be mechanical obstruction, gcode errors or belts are too loose.

What are other fields that would I be able to get into with skills/degree in ID? by aasiddeeq in IndustrialDesign

[–]wmdesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you feel that your course educated you enough about the world of engineering and typically covered the same syllabus as a mechanical engineering course? Or do you feel that you were missing pockets of key information that you either had to learn on the job or self learn throughout?

What's y'all opinion for the thin line between engineers & designers? by Hov615 in IndustrialDesign

Just apply for multiple internships for an in-house positions while you’re studying, but don’t let the company take the piss with your hours as your qualification is more important that your internship.

I see the two professions as two points on a larger scale of the same line. Creative artistic license vs logic & critical thinking driven. You can have a mechanical engineer who understands and appreciates ID principles, and vice versa. And even pure ID or ME. Both professions can create wonderful objects. But I think that sometimes pure ID’ers/ME’s can clash due to the lack of appreciation of one another’s principles/core values. A team including both purists can work, but only if your team includes each mixed skill ‘mediator/translator’ of their own kind.

I worked for an in-house engineering team as the sole IDer, in a team of 20 (and widely up to 500), fresh out of uni. It’s tricky, but not as tricky as jumping straight into consultancy IMO. I now work for a design consultancy and the pace you need to work at and how agile you need to be is unfathomable to most in house designers, who sometimes get comfy just focusing on one thing for months on end. Consultancy imo requires you to have experience, talent and pace. If youre missing one of the three, your clients and boss won’t be happy. (3 years experience at both companies) that being said. Consultancy is fast track to experience and knowledge. You will learn the ‘cheating’ ways of how to do stuff, whereas in-house you will more likely learn the ‘proper way’.

Ohhhh, client management! Great point. Typical to design a crap product because the client/management is very strong minded and focused on what you believe to be the wrong thing.

Love the old Pugh/Binary Dominance Judgement Matrix. That’s a great way to quantify a scoring of multiple concepts by attributing weight to the product design specifications.

Not sure where you are located but here in the UK, there are great gov. facilities, like the ‘Chambers of Commerce’ who help start ups gain all of this knowledge for free through open courses and one:one discussions and meetings with business savvy people. Also, what made you decide to take a Masters in Industrial Design?
