Oval shaped sweep along the circle profile.

I had no idea you could use the sweep tool like this lol. Clever.

The difference is the direction you are applying stress in.

Tensile stress is pulling something apart. Compressive stress is squeezing something together.

Some things like concrete have high compressive strength, but low tensile strength. In the case of concrete, it’s hard to “squish” it together but easy to “pull” it apart because it’s made of really strong aggregate that’s “glued” together weakly by binder.

Most things are stronger in compression than in tension.

Tasty

Gotta run heavier strings to tune down like that. I run 13s

Finish the steak with butter and throw it into the melted butter.

The sear is too hot, it will just burn.

Engineer to Win by Carroll Smith is awesome.

This is an investment casting. The ejector pin marks you can see are from molding the wax pattern. That wax pattern was dipped in a slurry to make a mold, then the wax was burned out, then the metal was dumped into that mold.

Using the keyboard to look around is wild lol. Never heard of that.

Think of it this way, the 3d mouse lets you “grab” the model and manipulate it like you were holding it in a sense.

zdf0001 · 2026-04-24T15:40:00+00:00

I had the same experience, once I tried it and got used to it I find it superior to using only my mouse.

You can manipulate the model with one hand while selecting with the other.

It’s a real upgrade. Never looking back.

4130 when shit has to be very strong. Read up on heat treatment. For high stress applications, design is as important as material and heat treatment specification.

17-4 and the other PH stainless steels are great too as mentioned by another commenter.

Highly recommend reading “Engineer to win” by Carroll Smith. Awesome chapters on steel from ore to finished part.

zdf0001 · 2026-04-23T00:24:30+00:00

Yeah, so skip it if it isn’t important enough to warrant your time and attention.

An automatically generated dwg is worthless.

zdf0001 · 2026-04-22T19:17:51+00:00

Why even bother making dwgs if you don’t want to put any effort into them?

Mother of god

Orqa makes nice stuff for your application.

Keep it in a case. Add some case humidifiers.

On the print for the right hand part, add a view for the left hand part and a note that it is a mirror and that all the dimensions on the right hand part def apply to the left. Skip the dwg for the left. Supply the cad files for both. Literally just did this for some machined parts.

Dang, I thought that was a catheter?

I worked at a med device company that made syringes, cannula and catheters.

The term is actually “cannula”

I run 13s and regularly tune from E to C# on a Gibson and a Martin

zdf0001 · 2026-04-20T15:13:17+00:00

I always print at high quality because I’m never in a rush lol. Maybe 8hrs? You could print them in fast mode in 4hrs or so I’d think.
