DAE have a strong, genuine curiosity for certain engineering subjects, but as soon as you have to take a class on the subject, the stress of exams and professors and completing assignments makes you hate the subject, and then once the class is over, your curiosity slowly comes back?

I’m from the north... what a treat to buy sunscreen in February! A few primitive beachside camping spots in Grand Isle State Park, LA

Unexpected surprise from Amazon. It was supposed to be two rolls of black PLA.

I need to be able to vary the thickness of an airplane wing, where the maximum size is the sketch shown above. Whenever I try to do a thin feature, in the direction I need it to go I get the rebuild error "Unable to make features as specified". I've also attempted to copy and resize the sketch, but I can't seem to uniformly scale it down.

Im currently a senior ME student, and I wish I had the balls to counter the salary :D don't think I have it in me lol
Haha it was definitely nerve-wracking! All I can say is hold your cards close, try not to give your salary expectations until they give an offer then go from there. Whoever says a number first loses- any time they asked my expectations I said "something competitive for the area and the position and my qualifications" etc etc.
Two questions:
Mobile, to be specific. And graduating with a ME bachelors.
Thank you. I have a coreless drill which may work.
do not handhold. Use a bench vice at minimum. If you can't afford that, epoxy it to a disposable surface or something.
Don’t know about it being fresh but when you get a key you usually get foam first before you see beer
Gotcha. I'm more concerned about the oxygen making it go bad overnight, is that a big issue? It's Budweiser I'd that helps.
Had this happen to me in my last apartment. Your outlets can't supply enough power.
Literally like can we get an update
When does the show end again?
Not sure - it’s 18+ so it can technically be midnight
Oh okay that's not bad. Someone by me mentioned 10 and I got sad.. maybe they'll be on soon that one guy on stage keeps fiddling with his guitar
i logged on right before 10 and was lucky enough to buy a pair!!!!! i was so worried they'd sell out but now i'm over the moon, sorry you couldn't get any :( i bought mine on desktop not my phone
You and me both! When are you gonna arrive at the show? Doors open at 7 but I'm afraid there's gonna be a long line, never been to the metro.
I can't wait! A friend and I were lucky enough to snag tickets when they dropped. What time are you gonna get there? Not sure when I need to show up I want to be near the doors when they open
YES!! i am sick of the boat. no offense.
Have you tried the Calicat? It's a cute lil kitty that prints in about 40 minutes. Can be used to calibrate xyz as well.
Budget: up to $3000
In my experience, FDM printers aren't capable of making accurate and detailed miniatures without weeks/months of tweaking and insight on how the machine works. Resin printers these days are practically point and click and can shoot out a near perfect part.
Thanks for the response
A imitation of resin printing is that it's single color. I've been getting quite good with an airbrush and can paint most things pretty well.
I like the z brace that comes with the printer, was there so much vibration in the machine that required it? Or is it mostly for show/ effect?
I'm building a plexiglass one with magnetic doors, vent hole, etc for mine. You want me to send you the cad files?
Most affordable would be Uni South Alabama. If you have the drive to succeed and put yourself into extra curriculars (eng teams, leadership positions, etc) you'll see yourself with more job offers than a UA or AU student who graduated without doing anything outside of their academics.

I still don’t understand papal infallibility and how that doesn’t come into contest with revisions the church makes. But I’m going to look into it more before coming to a conclusion on that one.
I don't know enough either to truly explain it, but I can try to answer.. I'm not Catholic, I've just been around a few really devout ones who made me want to do my research and even consider converting.
That explanation does make sense. But, I’m honestly not trying to sound like an ass as you’ve been very kind and took the time to explain it, it does sound like mental gymnastics. And that just means a pope can never be wrong, if they’re wrong they just weren’t the real pope. It comes across like some sort of religious retrofitting to me and because of that I couldn’t ever convert to the religion or truly believe in it. That being said, I do feel like I should be less critical of people who do believe in the future.
Yeah I agree, and hence why I haven't converted yet. I've come to the conclusion that I'll find what I'm looking for by peering inwards and avoiding gurus.
Wow! What tent is that?
bout tree fiddy
Ain't that the truth
HAHAHAHAHA. when are we getting a engineeringstudents circle jerk subreddit?
I really should have taken some time off after finals, I'm starting an internship the week immediately after
You and me both! I'm still excited though. I have 2 or 3 days to recover haha
I never said It was suppose to be nice. Just being honest. . If y’all didn’t come down here to destroy everything we wouldn’t mind y’all..we don’t want northern life style or crappie policies
Well for starters, I live about as far south as you can get in the south east not including florida. But regardless I don't think you can write off a Yankee as some force of evil man just because they weren't born in the same place as you. OP clearly shares the same hobbies as us, no need to be so jaded
Florida suck dude. More New Yorker live in Florida then people born in Florida.. One side of my family is from the north, just like 90 % of all southern families have some family from the north.
Ok
Amazon is silly like that. Here’s a free $80 dryer AND we’ll give you what you originally ordered! At what point does a company not want to bother with an $80 return? I mean, sure, a $5 bag of googily eyes? Who cares? But this makes no sense! You might wanna grab a lotto ticket!
Late to the conversation, but they also can't ask for you to give it back to them. Supreme court ruled that products shipped to you on accident, exactly like this scenario, are the seller/marketplace's fault not the customer! So you can keep things addressed to you that shipped by mistake
In case anyone doubts him due to the username:
You know, now that I think about it using the same username as my childhood gamertag isnt beneficial to my credibility hahaha
I mean... It's really not that bad. Like worst comes to worse you look away from the screen too much and get flagged but if you have plenty of scratch work to prove you didn't cheat it doesn't matter
