Great. Have they gotten rid of their Nazi CEO yet? Wake me up when they have...

And now they have infinitely more technology to be even more efficient!

upvote for live reporting, downvote for CCP propaganda rag that dares me to pay for a subscription to read 6 paragraphs about why Taiwan isn't a country. Net zero vote tally for me.

Oh I wasn't trying to hide much of anything, I was going for a cheerleader style chant.

Numbers like that should have been why you kept going in mech E.

Once you get past the educational stage, every one of those calculations becomes "OK now round to the closest whole number that gives you the larger factor of safety and move on"

Foreign manufacturers already produce cars in the U.S.

And as a matter of fact, "foreign" company vehicles by the likes of Honda and Toyota are the MOST American made cars by parts origin.

PLA basically doesn't dissolve in any (readily available consumer-grade) solvents. Your best bet is going to be to take the entire unit as far apart as you can until it is metal only components, heat it with a heatgun to make the PLA soft/melt, and brush it all off with a brass cleaning brush.

Also fuck you if your wifi drivers aren't built in to windows.

 

I've been doing functional ABS and ASA lately and had a couple very annoying warpage spots. One was a total failure. (We won't talk about the other 3 failures that were wet out-of-the-box Bambu ASA...)

The X1C is definitely nice, but the all aluminum-and-glass side panelling has a sometimes-unwanted side effect: thermal conduction.
The aluminum sides are so conductive that they do not allow the chamber temp to go above 40C, even after a couple hours of heat soaking the build plate at 100C before starting an ABS print.
Enter: One random bath towel. doesn't look like much but just covering the three sides with a thin layer means it's good enough insulation to get the chamber up to 50C now! And the ABS parts look better than ever- every C counts.

 
 

Potentially big changes are coming to ODOT's funding model in the next few years. There are holes that the state can't patch.

 

Sorely needed.

100% chance that they'll still need to toll traffic to cover the remaining few billion in costs but it is a good step forward.

 

Context: when creating drawings from parts/assemblies, you can use a foreshortening break on any derived views (section, detail, projected). However, by default, inventor will propagate that break to the parent base view... which usually completely blows up a different sheet in the document that I don't even realize -_-

Not once have I EVER wanted to propagate a break in a derived view to the parent base view...

 

1977 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, a recent addition to my collection.

221 inches bumper to bumper, 425ci Cadillac big block V8 fuelled by a standard Rochester Quadrajet and coupled to a TH400 3 speed auto. Floats like a cloud.

 

Get fucked, intuit!

I'm in the market for a new monitor. My 32" LCD is nice but now I have some spending money and really want to move up to an OLED display, as they seem to be maturing nicely and can give me an amazing bump in refresh rate.

Many OLED displays are curved, of course. All ultrawides are, some severely so (800r!!!)
I've always shied away from curved monitors because I feel like it could distort the appearance of some solid/2d geometry vs a flat panel. (I'm also not crazy about the desk space they occupy either, but I can work around that).

Do any of you use CAD packages (solidworks, inventor, autocad) on curved monitors, and if so how well does it appear? My target would be a 34" or 42" 4k display.
