    Probing inner radius

    2 Questions: 1) Using F360, I set a partial hole probe (probes 3 points of radius). How do I export this data on a Haas VF-2SSYT? Either as XY locations or as a radius, whichever is simpler. 2) Also, how can I set a series of probes, and export the XYZ locations, and map out the shape...

    Camera precision measuring device?

    Problem: measuring internal radii, splines, geometry, that can't be accessed by probes or other means. Currently what Im doing: using a regular camera at highest focal length, measuring the object with caliper, adding the picture to a CAD software, adjusting image to size Any technologies...

    Material choice for DMLS engagement ring

    The prongs go ~0.6 mm past the diamond edge towards the center. Ill try extending them further, good idea. And I also considered mechanically bonding the split. Perhaps adding a few holes extending through both ends, and suturing with a metal wire. Not sure Id trust any soldering or welding so...

    Material choice for DMLS engagement ring

    Ill post it here once its done, maybe Ill take a video of diamond placement

    Material choice for DMLS engagement ring

    The ring will be split in the middle. So the individual prongs aren't flexing. The arrows show the direction of spring-back. And likewise reverse to flex open.

    Material choice for DMLS engagement ring

    I found an alternative design that would require spring-back of the prongs. The last concern is fracturing - how far can I bend and at what thickness/geometry. Also strength, will it be flimsy Thank you for your help and advice!

    Material choice for DMLS engagement ring

    Which of the 3 has the highest resilience? I need to bend it about 0.5 mm, and have it spring back

    Material choice for DMLS engagement ring

    My material choices are: •Cobalt Chrome •Titanium(Ti6Al4V) •Stainless Steel(17-4 PH) I need a metal that won't fracture with the least resilience possible. To prevent the prongs from breaking or springing back. (image for reference only)

    Loud stepper resonance cure?

    I bolted a NEMA-23 to a 1'x1' aluminum panel, 13/64"(5 mm) thick. The resonance is extremely loud. Full stepping between 100-15 RPM. Even when adding padding between the motor/panel. (Its almost inaudible when not fixed to the panel) Any methods to reduce it as much as possible or completely?

    Shaft torque required - calculation

    I didnt mean to overreact, my apologies.

    Shaft torque required - calculation

    Why are you on a thread posting if you dont have answers :nutter: and you could apply that same logic to every thread on this forum

    Shaft torque required - calculation

    In this case, lets assume the barrel is a solid mass, no friction variables. Can you show your work? Doesn't look like you factored in load inertia or acceleration.

    Shaft torque required - calculation

    Starting to realize this is the wrong website to ask this question.
