"Studying" mechanical engineering, because machines are kinda cool :3

Also building temperature probes for a living :/

I like playing with computers, even if I don't have a clue about what I'm doing.

Pretty invested in machine-tools and prototype part production in the homeshop or hackerspace, from lathes and mills, to 3D-printers and EDM-machines.

Gender is complicated for my little brain.

Does anyone know if absent/hypersensitivr gag reflexes are genetic?

Not that I have a reason to want to know, it just came up in conversation, and now I'm curious.

@tschotsch@knuddelweide.de 3D-Printer mobbing? is that where you go farm items or XP or something by beating 3D printers in a Video game, or is that where you come together in a group to throw insults at them and occasionally physically attack them?

Full day today! Gonna work for my typical hours, head home just to hop under the shower, then help out teaching people how to break computers, then head to the workshop to quickly mount another one of the new vises, carry a leftover one across the city to bring to another workshoppy place that needs one, and then (finally) head home and actually rest. Probably around 22:00 or so.

If I feel especially cunty I might try to start a 3D print to test another part as well.

The exception to the 1970s workshop thing is of course the other side with the 3D printed boxes I've been working on to keep my measuring tools sorted and accessible

I'm slowly but surely transforming my bedroom into a 1970s metalworking workshop 🥰

Got a new old vice, decent size this time so I can actually gronk down on parts.

And an ancient Metabo hand drill I was given.

Remade the model, this time properly parametrized, so I can generate any sized box I want (as long as it's at least 3 units tall, the finger choil has a minimum height it needs, I might build a variant for shorter boxes) #gridfinity #freecad

(very) late #freecadfriday submission: Stackable gridfinity boxes!

The lid holds with some pins in slots, one of them with a detent (I need to make that a bit less tight and more consistent with an actual flexture), and has a base plate pattern on it to make it stackable.

The model is not yet parametrized, but it is on the todo-list.

I'm also not a fan of the finger choil for opening. I think I'll move it to the side, and add a little something to not have it be an actual opening into the box

Usually I try to keep DFM in mind when making stuff like this. In this case I decided to fuck it, and just slap supports on it. I had enough trouble with FreeCAD and trying to imagine how shapes woild fit. Up on edge the overhangs are pretty managable, so we ball.

today was a very
"I hate #freecad

day

I designed a new fan shroud for the 3D printer, with lots of lofts and organic smooth shapes to not impead the airflow while leading it all around the very tight space of the extruder, trying to not reduce print area (too much)...

"Studying" mechanical engineering, because machines are kinda cool :3 Also building temperature probes for a living :/ I like playing with computers, even if I don't have a clue about what I'm doing. Pretty invested in machine-tools and prototype part production in the homeshop or hackerspace, from lathes and mills, to 3D-printers and EDM-machines. Gender is complicated for my little brain. --no longer undercuddled :3--

@G33KatWork "er" ist in der schrotttonne. Ich hab auch ne sammlung schöner späne, aber die ist nicht groß genug für den. Aber wenn wir ihn schon benennen bin ich für Samuel, nach dem Computer aus "Jonas der letzte Detektiv". (nervig und hat kein ende)

@PatrickHerd 1.4057 🙃 I think on manual machines it's still nicer than 1.4301, since I can manage that kind of chip on an open machine, and don't need to stop some cnc everytime.

to be clear the machine was off when I took the picture. The chip was in the chip tray, and I was pulling it out of there.

@azonenberg yea, that happens... though with decent feedrate the chips aren't tooooo to sharp. Last pass had the chips finally breaking (in shot little bundles). But getting hit in the face by one of those makes me very appreciative of my safety goggles.
