Watch him as he codes
Not to be “that guy” on top of you being “that guy,” but it’s not unheard of to completely redirect a dammed river with a chute spillway. I’m gonna pretend the spillway exits that mountain to the right of what we can see lol
I was just typing a response on the Igus cost haha. The size I need are only $2.50/per, still pricey, but more reasonable. I'd be more inclined to try them out if it didn't take 30-60 days to get an order; I'd like to do a test fitting before I commit to $250 of parts, and 60-120 days is too long to wait for the full batch.
I may be able to do them in resin. My work has a whole bunch of resin printers, but this would be a lot of parts to do on machines that are supposed to be doing actual production work haha. That and the resin we use is accuracy focused, not particularly strong, they'd wear out fairly quickly.
The maker's space recently acquired some resin printers, so might be worth it to wait until they get those operational.
Thanks for the insight!
I have been experimenting with the 3D printing, just not getting great results. Did a few test pieces over the weekend at 0.1 mm layers, the layer lines were still killing any kind of smooth motion I'd hoped for. Which is what got me on the fill/sand path, which is my next experiment. I'm pretty confident that with enough process experimentation, I'll be able to get the action I'm looking for with fill->sand->possible resin coat->dry lube. Just gonna be a lot of work to get it right haha. Wish I still had access to an SLA printer; I printed out some kick-ass ball joints on a Formlab printer years ago.
The print-in-place joints, in my experience, work just great, until you try to move them while they're loaded; ≈ 50 N*m is a lot to ask of a non-finished plastic joint lol, and that's probably around what I'll be working with.
print a tapered shaft that starts at -0.020in below your bearings internal diameter, and ends at +0.010in. Do the same for the external race but inverse
Could you elaborate on that? Not sure I follow.
Thanks for the help!
'Cause the town came first. Town was built on the original river, which was later dammed for power/water reservoir for said town.
I don't think OP knows what "lore" means lol. GTA ≈ ATLA ≈ Star Trek? DESTINY > DR WHO?!?!

"Damn, this is going to be a tough time for her. Better be sure to make zero effort to inject levity, or take her mind off it, or remind her that I'm also here to take responsibility for my part in this life we're creating. She should remain 100% FOCUSED on how painful and humiliating this experience is for her. For the entire 20 hours she's in labor. Just going to continuously remind her to keep breathing. So she knows how much I support her. Yup, that tracks."
You must be a fun person to go through traumatic experiences with lol.
Me if I were in my 20s in 1994: "Hey wait is that that spastic drummer from Nirvana? What, thinks he can pull off being a front man? Psh..."
Thanks Dave Grohl for being like, the chillest rock star ever.
Wow, actually sounds like a pretty light sentence, considering it seems like the ATF was intent on nailing him to the wall haha. Maybe just more interested in stopping the broadcast of doing stupidly dangerous shit with guns and explosives...
Gotcha, thanks for the wisdom!
