My First Commercial 3D Print
Nice print, but is this not in the same league as 3d printing for food stuffs? As in it's not hygienic and not possible to sterilize? Those ridges are bacteria breeding grounds!

Anyone else notice the fediverse is quite close knit?
Same ol' faces... Almost has the feel of forums of yesteryear...

Where can a Boomer catch up on current computer/software technology?
I'm on a 7 year old laptop, i7-7500U CPU, 32gb RAM and run Solidworks in a VM as I'm also running Linux.
It handles parts fine, but struggles a bit with very large assemblies and rendering on surfaces. This I assume is the lack of dedicated GPU.

I'm on a rather old version of Solidworks, for various reasons, but had hoped for some improvement by now.
Although, I'm not surprised. Many, if not all of the 'premium' CAD and CAM software I have used have no multi-threading either.

While I have no strong opinion on the up/down votes, (nothing's private on the internet anyway) I generally think transparency is the right way to go.
Thanks for bringing attention to this.

Great links! Love the patent drawings. Hadn't noticed the serrated edges of the wheels before. A very interesting lock!

I've read about the anti-xray locks, but never got hold of one. A good find indeed!

It's the spline key that is missing. You can usually find some on ebay!
Interesting to see plastic wheels, all my locks have metal wheels. Bet that makes for an interesting open!

I always find them quite satisfying! While they're not exactly simple to pick, but they have very clear feedback which helps a lot!

I'm not sure, I think it's from the Parallax mod that generates the surface textures. Something similar happens in a few places.

Anyone Else Enjoy a Tubular Lock Occasionally?
Reply in thread
I've only picked a few tubulars, most can be tensioned with almost anything as long as you can get it into the notch of the centre.
There's a couple of common diameters used so a couple of tensioners are handy.
Time to dig out my tubular locks again!
