Nimble9's Secondhand Parts Build

The original fix lasted for some time, but alas failed on my way to Cape May, so all we had for fan speed was high (at least we had AC lol) the new redesign on the resistor and plug should take away the chance of this failing again

 

Hmmm ... Mine did that for a day or two this spring as well, but then it self healed.

Toyota apparently really screwed the pooch on that whole blower circuit, I went through three fans under warranty before it worked without chirping.

 

yikes! i've been lucky with the chirping for now, but i'm sure it'll need replaced eventually haha

 

I live in South aurora, hit me up sometime

 

will do!

I'm looking for an area with industry for mechanical engineers / designers, CAD admin, or controls engineering lol

 

How long ago did you move out here?

 

Northrup Grumman is hiring engineers...as is Lockheed and my company Sierra Nevada. Plenty of engineering jobs in Denver, boulder, and c springs

 

it's funny, almost every company i've ever worked for has been a subcontractor for the primes lol. i'll def look into it!

 

I lived in golden from 2010 to 2015 then back to Jersey then to aurora August 2017

 

got some maintenance stuff in the works for fall

Other than that, no real updates since we've just been working on the house

Here is the basement before and after

 

congrats on buying a house!

 

didn't buy it (yet) just renting it currently, but i'm thinking it might make a good investment property (heck we seriously fixed up the place lol)

 

I would like to pay you to paint my house.. will supply pizza

 

Nice work...reminds me of my old man with his hobbies on the weekends!

 

i've painted all the ceilings, and almost every wall in this house myself. I'm actually helping my friend paint his house he just bought this weekend haha

Thanks! I actually think there is a lot of room for improvement, (like the drip in the one photo from it being painted before i should've noticed/ sanded), but it's a heck of a learning experience!

 

Yea man I bet. With my rents I have had to do all that stuff over and over. Pops is a civil and just the association of this sort of stuff set me straight on just being a mech instead.

 

yeah mech is where it's at! i was just at a SW user group meeting and learned how Hershey Med uses SW to design things for hearts! they even use flow sim to plot pressure and flow, and it's amazing how close the sim matches real life

 

Hah now that is some cool stuff.

 

They had this one program (i forget it's name), but given a design table, could spit out something like an optimized rotor for fluid at a certain velocity. so insane

 

just stumbled on this:
